Howay

Iirc he’s a millionaire, albeit worth a lot more than tweedle dee and tweedle dick, his father in law is the billionaire. He failed to take over Oxford so that would make me question how much commitment he would really want to have Sunderland. It looks to me like a vanity thing on his part, so he can say he part owns a football club, aye it’s a shite one but so is Oxford and it’d let him brag about it at his millionaire eyes wide shut style orgies.

That club taking a short term loan has never been a problem in the past... The difference is that these two won’t be able to pay it all off like the last tit did.

Potentially more financial punishment over that bloke who never even played for them. What a total shambles of a club they are, now these two absolute fucking chancers are clearly making a hash of it as well. I’ve said it before but the Mackems have some brass neck calling us deluded while they rate their club as having any potential to do anything. It’s a bag of shite, in a bin full of shite, set on fire of a club.

Quality two touches by Jorgensen to set him up as well.

Fucking deadline watch again man.

Debby will be so happy after that. Be interesting to hear how the Annuals react to that.

Aye, it’s no shock to see the usual suspects talking absolute nonsense. That was a good performance by England, we missed a lot of easy chances but that doesn’t mean we didn’t deserve to win, the reason we had so many to miss is because we dominated the match and carved out a lot of good chances. The ref was shite imo, it reminded me of when we played Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship and they just continuously fouled and the ref didn’t book anyone to make them pack it in. The penalty decisions were abysmal as well. Overall a good opening match and it’s the most confident and impressive England display at a World Cup for fucking donkeys. Just have to beat Panama now and we’re through in all likelihood which is a great way to start off.

Aye I’d be pleased to see us get out the group with a bit of comfort. I can see us getting to the QF provided the team don’t become terrified like they have in past tournaments. As much as I don’t rate Southgate he is at least using his experience of being at a tournament to good use. He is making a real effort to have a good mood among the squad and it seems a fairly relaxed atmosphere. I think it was good that he cut his squad to 23 earlier than past England managers as well.

Neymar got a right kicking in that match. Thought it was a canny match overall mind, been a good tournament so far only a few stinkers imo. Really enjoyed the Germany v Mexico match, that Lozano will get a big move off the back of this tournament if he keeps it up.

I think at this point we don’t need to come up with a why as to why Ashley is doing something. The fat cunt has proven time and again he’ll just do whatever the fuck he fancies often for reasons only he knows. I’m still pretty comfortable in thinking the accounts have been displayed in a way that suits his argument that the club has nowt to spend. It’s utter fucking shite, there’s absolutely no way our wage bill increased by £40M in the time frame covered by the accounts. Fucking tin pot clubs like Brighton, Bournemouth, Huddersfield, etc all outspend us I know Bournemouth have been in the PL for a while but even when we had been in it a for a few consecutive years under this fat joke it’s not like we were spending like they have at times, iirc Bournemouth have two players which cost more than our transfer record. I agree with what Alex is saying, when we were promoted it was hinted at that the first season would be tight and we had to absorb the season in the Championship then be stronger the following summer. We are now in that summer and he’s using the same fucking excuse as to why we can’t spend much, it’s fucking nonsense. It’s a real shame as Benitez is brilliant, it’s just we got him when owned by this twat. Until Ashley leaves we’ll accomplish absolutely nothing, he’s literally looking at the miracle job Rafa did last season and thinking ‘he can do that again’ in the hope the clubs coffers swell a bit more.

He seems to be really drawn to dictators, he would really fancy being in a similar situation himself iyam. Iirc during the campaign he said something about how Putin didn’t have to deal with bureaucratic red tape and seemed genuinely pissed off that he’d have to deal with it when he became president. He’s also regularly cried about any form of opposition, manipulated the news as much as he possibly can, and intentionally sped bills through the houses to stop the opposition having much chance to read them.

It’s a fucking mental situation. While it would be good to get a player from this Ashley will probably ignore his “transfer fee and wages are the cost” shite and just baulk at the increased wage.

Genuinely didn’t see that, I also missed the dilapidated looking chippy in the bottom left. I’m also not entirely convinced the seagull was in one of the pictures, I think they added that in.

This is class btw, the crap photoshopping, the random mini that’s just put in there (had to be the PROPER one, none of that BMW foreign muck), you can almost imagine the inner workings of the decisions on what to put in, the fucking red arrows ffs . Potentially the best part of this front page for me is the inclusion of the shard. What better way to rally the Brexit voters than to put up that iconic BRITISH symbol? One that’s nearly wholly owned by Qatar and full of private equity firms and banks. Special mention for the two differing prices on the page, one of which they use to have a dig at the Mirror. The more I look at it the better it gets, there’s a picture of some sheep in there when you think of things that make Britain good sheep aren’t top of the list.

It’s almost as if the erratic, needlessly provocative, and rushed work with an inattention to detail that’s displayed at a domestic level is how he operates on the world stage. The bloke is a complete shambles. I still can’t move past the fact he doesn’t own a suit that fits, what’s even funnier about that is his often loose sleeves make his tiny little baby hands look even more minuscule.

They call us deluded yet one of the first responses on that thread is this bloke wanting to be remembered for being a team that looks like it’s really going places.

Aye, I liked his sulky “they’re just sat in their rooms playing video games so don’t have any team chemistry” nonsense. If he listened to Athletico Mince he’d hear exactly what is going on in the England camp as Mortimer has someone giving him info from inside it.

Nothing I said is hysteria. He pushes through things with no regard for the implications and often on a whim. For example, the tax reform in the US was written and pushed through the houses in about 3 months, so quickly in fact it still had hand written edits and gave the opposition mere hours to read it (does that seem like something a rational and good leader would do?). The thing is so badly written we have been reeling ever since. The US gives a foreign tax credit for foreign taxes paid on foreign sourced income to avoid double taxation. You bucket your income based on the type of income it is and match the foreign tax credits generated to the bucket based on the tax law. Trump and his band of idiots came up with a new tax called GILTI ( I’m not kidding here) and in their rush to write the new code wrote that GILTI income is its own bucket but the credit that comes with the income goes in the general bucket, this completely contradicts the general rule for no reason whatsoever, creates a needless issue and gave companies massive headaches to the point the IRS has came out and essentially said bucket the credit with the GILTI income and we won’t disagree with the treatment. It’s this sort of haphazard inattention to detail that ripples through his regime. Simply calling people hysterical doesn’t score you any points, you asked for a reasoned discussion I gave you plenty of points to discuss and you gave that ridiculous retort.

https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-looking-continent-no-10-14764549 While I hope we are looking for a number 10 I can’t believe how bad the Chronicle is. This article is so badly written it’s pathetic, for a start his subtitle is “Rafa Benitez wants to lure a sign a No 10 for Newcastle United” just proof read your work ffs. He also completely refuses to write number 10, instead using the short cut “no 10” I could just be being a prick here but that just seems needlessly lazy. The article also says absolutely nothing of any note, just that Rafa wants to sign a “no 10” and could be looking abroad and the domestic market . If he couldn’t be arsed to write out number 10 he should have just not bothered his arse writing that nothing of an article. I thought Lee Ryder was bad ffs, that Waugh makes him look competent.

Aye, even if he could potentially be good for the UK (as you’ve pointed out a few times he won’t be but just suspend that for a minute) he’s shown himself to be completely erratic and unpredictable on numerous occasions in just one year so tying the cart to him is fucking mental. Even if there was some brilliant deal that worked for both sides there’s always the potential for him to just rip it up at the last moment because someone from the UK had a pop at him, no doubt done by tweet “People should learn their MANNERS deal was rotten I say NO”. To push the EU away due to its flaws in favour of Donald Trump is mental, completely fucking mental. How do people possibly think he could be good for the UK? He’s clearly cosying up to Putin at a time Putin is becoming more assertive and aggressive towards the UK than before, that alone should show he can’t be relied upon.

Doing what he promised during his campaign? Like the ‘beautiful’ tax reform that was going to help the middle class and create job growth? Instead it’s burdened the middle class more as the cut from 35% to 21% for corporations created a large shortfall, this was supposed to create jobs but instead the large corporations plowed money into share buy backs. The share buy backs drives the price of stock up which means the C-suite get even bigger bonuses, essentially putting the tax windfall right into executives pockets. The ripping up of the Iran deal was a distraction from his court cases (fucking plural) since NK had cooled. He then tried his fucking best to undo the hard work of South Korea and China by simply abusing Kim Jong Un for no fucking reason. I don’t even think the Iran deal was discussed during the campaign, there was no reason other than the fact Obama happened to be the President that signed it to rip that deal up iirc it took 3 terms to get that deal done. He’s still planning on spending essentially all of the money brought in by the mandatory deemed repatriation (aka “Toll charge”) on a pointless wall. We’ll also just ignore the fact he’s a fucking embarrassment, he asked Trudeau if they had burned down the White House (that was Britain in 1812), he suggested he “might” pardon Muhammad Alli when he was already pardoned decades ago, he’s going through multiple court cases, one showing he’s Putin’s lap dog and another showing he paid off a porn star, he has started feuds with multiple American sports teams doing pathetic thinks like uninviting champions to the White House after they said they wouldn’t go, he also has said he might just give a presidential pardon to himself. I rarely feel this way but I echo Gemmils sentiment on him tbh, he’s needlessly destabilizing and causing potentially large harm to people’s lives (if you think this is hyserical just look at his stance on guns for a start). The man is poison, and regardless of if he really is some hard right racist himself (He’s definitely a racist but he’s more just greedy than being far right) there’s no doubt he is giving these people a voice and they seem to be growing in confidence by him. Even fucking knuckle draggers like Tommy Robinson are encouraged by him.

Spunked a load on the front line and midfield so had to cheapen out at the back I still might swap out Dembele for Mitro so I have more reason to cheer him. No clue who the players on my bench are.

He’s too good for them tbh.

I’d be more inclined to believe it if Karius hadn’t been a dodgy at times throughout the season.

ESPN done a series of short episodes about him and his son, as his son was a American Football player at what was essentially an academy for high school athletes in Vegas. The school is called Bishop Gorman and one of his team mates was Nicco Ferttita the son of one of the owners of the UFC. It was basically Snoop putting immense pressure on his son . I think the kid made it onto a college program and then basically jacked it in.
