Gemmill 46673 Posted December 30, 2024 Share Posted December 30, 2024 Sounds like she was at least enough of a problem to Ashworth for him to want to leave. I'm not taking a side, I'm just saying that he's reported to have said that he'd have stayed if he knew she was going. As it stands, we lost them both.

ewerk 31321 Posted December 30, 2024 Share Posted December 30, 2024 Aye, I think the issue with Ashworth was that if a player wanted something then they were sufficiently close to Mandy to be able to go over his head and directly to her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also could be a bit of a history rewrite to make him look less of a rat. Especially since it went so deliciously badly for him at Man Utd 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was also in the farmers rest before the game for that. Sat in our usual spot in the corner underneath the horrible pottery fox. Spent the evening in the company of Wes Saunders afterwards getting lashed in the Grey Horse in East Boldon. He said after the Gary Bennet foul Kenny Wharton screamed at him, Stay down, the mackem bastards off 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5428 Posted Wednesday at 15:38 Share Posted Wednesday at 15:38 Not sure if this was brought up a few days ago or not but did anyone notice the Guardian did their player rankings for 2024 and had Isak at 90th? Behind, amongst others, Havertz, Walker and Cucurella. Meanwhile Harry Kane is 6th best in the world because ofc. Salah only made 11th. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 5428 Posted Wednesday at 15:54 Share Posted Wednesday at 15:54 I also think that if Bruno Fernandes is in there at 60 something, our Bruno should be a good 20 places higher than him. It's also worth reading Isak's little bio thing, written by Louise Taylor One part talking about how good he is, 3 parts trying to sell him to Chelsea and talking about how his head has been turned. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a rolls Royce of a defensive centre mid, the closest you can get to Busquets but bigger, stronger and better in the air.

The media is absolutely fuming we've got him aren't they Even more so that he's not chomping at the bit for a move despite their collective wishes for it to be that way. I know in the end football is about your team and club, enjoying the little moments and success if any that comes your way. When we win a trophy that'll be the main thing but I think there's definitely another theme now with not just NUFC but any club outside the status quo (Villa say) that's trying to achieve real success in the face of PSR and other barriers to entry into the so called 'elite' club category. A big feck you to the establishment of the red cartel, main stream media etc. that want anything good that happens to smaller clubs to be promptly disbursed to their darlings. It's imperative we win a trophy soon, for Howe and for the players that took a chance and believed in a dream different from setting up at a club already established with years of success behind them and roads already paved for future success. If it happens the media will no doubt try to brush it off as the richest club in the world owned by a state finally winning a trophy but anyone with half a footballing brain will know it will have been against all odds in modern football. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that one is going to wait till summer then a right winger this month may only be a loan? And Liverpool may be in for him regardless of where Salah is playing next season…seems like Hope has looked at Mitchell’s CV and made the most tenuous connection since CT claimed to be a close personal friend of yours when he ran into your folks 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTF 7698 Posted yesterday at 07:46 Share Posted yesterday at 07:46 On 30/12/2024 at 20:47, Gemmill said: Said this at the time when some people were adamant that someone at the club had to be to blame for the PSR situation, and June 30th: it was nobody's fault. We had to go big in that first January window, or else relegation would have meant "the project" was dead on arrival. There would have been a reasonable assumption that we could trade our way out of that hole with the likes of ASM, Wilson, Almiron, etc. But we basically had to out ourselves in a hole to get anywhere. We haven't done anything particularly mental in any window since then. Even in the Jan window before June 30 we thought we could get a good chunk of the PSR hole through selling Almiron but he refused to go. Wilson looked on his way out too but it didn't happen. It's a nightmare set of rules to try and stick to AND make any sort of progress. I think they've done a pretty incredible job tbh, helped massively by Howe and his team being fucking ridiculously good at their jobs. Since Howe's arrival we're overall fourth on the results table. Only bettered by Man City, Liverpool and Arsenal. That's incredible tbh. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
