The Mighty Hog

Mark Hollis. Talk Talk's later albums were essential listening for me during bad bouts of (not quite) insomnia, always hoped they'd pop up again unannounced.

Local time, 11 am here.

The club website have highlights up now. https://www.nufc.co.uk/nufc-tv/highlights/man-city-h-highlights-18-19

Tuesday 15th

It wasn't a case of selling either Mitro or Joselu though. I'm sure if he could he'd have flogged them both and signed replacements he would of. In fact people should be fucking fuming that Mitro was sold and no replacement was signed. It was on the cards for two or three windows that it wasn't working out. Not out of the blue.

Pretty much. In the transfer market he works without any idea what his budget actually is (just let that sink in for a manager of any caliber, let alone one who has won things), works with a MD who struggles to sign players with release clauses by trying to pay in instalments (Lejeune) and apparently fee's over a certain amount have to be approved by Ashley or some bloke who may or may not be employed by the club to oversee takeovers. It's a shit show. There's roadblock after roadblock after roadblock put in his way. That's not to say he can't drop a bollock himself, but it's way down on the list of problems the club has.

Used to do the post-match interviews for Metro Radio, back in the day.

William Goldman gone as well.

It's all part of the show man

There's a live Inside No. 9 on at 10pm tonight. Very much looking forward to it.

Some of this is eerily relevant right now

I'd wondered who his new nark was. Remi Street is no use now!

Ended up getting sued by both Ashley and Wise for various business deals, iirc.

The County Hotel in Hexham always seemed popular when I'd been in for drinks.

Saw that last night, cracking article but even then I think there's other stuff that could be added. Just shows how much of a shitty owner and cunt of a man Ashley is when you read that and there's still more dodgy shite.

I know, imagine giving some sort of responsibility to fully grown adults.

Nah Ritchie was subbed off for Murphy after the sending off. The players sorted out who was on pens this season with Ritchie being first choice then Kenedy second.

Silver Spoon sugar there too. Seems appropriate.

Rondon deal is supposedly nearly done, being brought up by helicopter too if one local journo is to be believed.

Mitrovic has flown back from Portugal, seems like the Fulham move is back on.

Sniffing around Lascelles too, if the latest gossip is to believed.

Saw an interesting thread on the topic just this morning
