  1. Watching it unfold on the Netflix show was shocking and hilarious in equal measure. I thought tales of owners getting carried away were exaggerations. The manager, other members of the board all saying, £1.25m is fine, but no more, yet Donald loses his mind and spends an absolute fortune on an average player. I'd have thought it would be the other way around, the manager and the other advisors insisting the deal has to be done.
  2. Some of the pieces I couldn't get interested in, but the prospector, James Franco's bit, and the singing cowboy were class.
  3. If he fancies doing our extension as well, he can take the oven as payment
  4. As if the Saudi's would be remotely interested in toeing the line if they weren't confident that by doing it, they'd get what they want.
  5. Well that's that sorted then. Every courtroom drama movie I've ever seen where the mean lawyer gets the woman to cry, ends up with the woman winning the case.
  6. My ignorant two penneth PL will want the money that a ridiculously wealthy owner could pour in. They'll want measures taken to reduce piracy in the MENA region. They'll want a bidding war for that same region. Qatar will want to exclude KSA from the Premier League and have monopoly on broadcast rights for the MENA region and to get a public 'win' against KSA KSA will want a PL club to diversify their investments and sportswash their regime UK government will want to keep their trade partner happy, and have more wealth poured into the country. Surely KSA can arrest some patsy to show willing, further relax restrictions on BeIN broadcasting in KSA and then bid for broadcast rights that end 2022? It'd cost them comparatively little money, very little political capital and establish a firm grip on the PL in the MENA region which could be spun as a bigger win than Qatar's? If the PL give KSA a seat at the table, it makes the piracy problem, their problem. If they exclude them, then won't KSA simply continue to tolerate/support piracy of the Qatari feeds?
  7. Yeah, I switched back to the recorded crowd noises. The silence was eerie. To be honest, I'm expecting each of our televised games to feel like a behind-closed-doors preseason friendly. Not much to play for, our best players are the ones I'd expect to be lifted by the crowd (ASM/Almiron), our performances owing much to a backs against the wall vibe... Might be different if players were trying to put on a show for new owners.
  8. How many Megacredits do you have?

    Cooking

    Got a recipe for pulled pork, thought blimey that's a lot of meat for the 3 people the blog mentioned, but lets give it a go, maybe it'll reduce in the oven. 2Kg pork slow cooked for hours, and I find it's not reduced that much so I re-read the recipe. 6 people dickhead, it's for six people.
  10. Fuck me that's an old picture. What little hair there was has pretty much all migrated to the chin, of which there remains one, so fuck off with your fat jokes. Still, you're right. I'm the podcaster round here, so this kid can fucking fuck off.
  11. Wait, Wait, Wait. Gemmil plays Magic the Gathering? Does he also play Warhammer?
  12. Fair enough. Like I say, I know very little about this and am happy to be told I know fuck all. I can't imagine it's a topic that will touch many of our lives, but I assume it's a topic that affects that small population, very deeply.
  13. Wasn't there something about humans who identify as a woman, but haven't undertaken any physical changes to reflect who they are within, want to use women's toilets? I can see why women may be uncomfortable with the thought of what is, anatomically speaking at least, a male, being allowed in a space where they'd be more vulnerable. Also, didn't Rowling say something like "Women who menstruate"? I don't see how transwomen could find that offensive, isn't the very act of specifying "that menstruate" an indication that Rowling accepts that there are women who don't? I'm not asking you to provide answers btw.
  14. Same boat as you, I've tried to understand either side of the argument but soon gave up. If anyone can explain it, I'm happy to learn, but as it stands I think it's all handbags.
  15. If I'm honest, I didn't even read your post fully.
  16. Ta It was tongue in cheek, but honestly, how can a grown man who spends as much time on the internet as CT still get simple English so wrong?
  17. It's THERE'S. T-H-E-R-E-'-S !! Not theirs. Fucking Hell. It shouldn't even be theres, it's plural, it should be "there are loads of people." I'm not going on Avforums, chiefly because you cannot master simple English.
  18. I'm planning on getting a projector for the basement room once we've cleared some stuff out. I'm not sure how long or short I need the projector to 'throw' though, you got any tips?
  19. So you're saying that the purchase of Newcastle United could bring about peace in that part of the Middle East?
  20. As there now appears to be a Premier League Provisional Restart Date, I guess that will put an end to Newcastle's all time record of going 3 months in one season without dropping a point. Geddit?
