Battered.

Battered or breaded, sir?

Not sure why, but this reminds of someone running into a Chinese takeaway round my neck of the woods many years ago, bollock naked, wearing only a tache, a manic grin and off their fucking nut and jumping on the counter, laying their knob across it and shouting 'Here! Fucking batter this!' 

[Monkeys Fist 42459]

When did you shave the tache off?

As a few of us have said, the hypocrisy stinks. The real issue here is NUFC getting all this money

That and the fact that the Saudis murdered a journalist. Maybe Holt thinks that covering a sports washing boxing match in SA last year and literal criticism of the Crown Prince by a Saudi national in a globally syndicated publication are the same thing?

Going to have to get thick skins I think. Once it goes through it will be everywhere.

 

The amount of bites Holt and Delaney etc. are getting on Twitter is the exact reason they are writing the articles.

 

It will make it even sweeter when we win everything and they all have to kiss our arse for access to our players and manager.

Edwards will be seething when Rafa comes back and gives Caulkin all the exclusives

Yes, I won’t believe it until it happens. And possibly not even then.

Aye, there’s only De Bruyne, Cancelo, La Porte, Sterling, Mahrez, Mendy, Stones, Walker, Sane, Silva and Mangala who cost more.

So 12 players in 24 transfer windows since they took over the club.

 

They’ve paid fees for 86 players in that time. 
 

12/86 = 14% of buys cost more than Joelinton 

 

Leaving 86% of buys costing less than Joelinton

So they’ve over a full team that cost more than Joelinton?

You say they are doing it differently to other clubs yet Barca have only signed seven players more expensive than Joelinton, Real Madrid ten and Juventus four.

When you come at the king you best not miss.

And yet their most expensive transfer is 24th on the list of the worlds most expensive transfers. Which suggests they are doing it differently to other clubs?

I think it's fair to say that the journalists aren't winning hearts and minds from our lot on this.

 

We're going to have a club-wide siege mentality at this rate. As Strawb says, thick skins from here on out. The fact that they're going for the fans is what gets me in particular. We live in a country where the government won't stand up to Saudi Arabia, where the voters don't care about it enough to change that, and where a series of businesses fall over themselves to absorb Saudi money left and right anyway. But no, it's a bunch of long suffering football fans who have to take the moral stand and who will be pilloried for not doing so.

 

Fuck off. Have the balls to change the whole fucking system or just fuck off. As far as I'm concerned, this is our late stage capitalism dividend.

Your point was that they were buying lots of mid range players of similar or less costly than Joelinton. I was simply pointing out that wasn’t the case.

The last 13 years have shown us that nobody - whether our owner, the press, the pundits or other fans - cares what we think. Why does it matter now all of a sudden?

Breaking news.

I’m a bit concerned the sun might not come up tomorrow - can someone ask the Knight Ryder what his scoop on it is? 
I’m happy to wait until Wednesday for his exclusive.

No thick skin needed here mate- I didn’t give a particular fuck what the majority of them thought before, and I certainly can’t see any great change in that approach from me, come what may. 
The hoop-licking once we start getting good again will be funny to see, though, in the same way watching kids fall over is
