Reminds me of that angry mob a few years ago who turned up and vandalised the house of a known local paediatrician. I think that was also Portsmouth by coincidence, the UK one.
In fairness, people who have met up to go to a game might not have seen each other for a while, so its also an opportunity for a catchup. I sit next to my sister, and whilst 80% of our natter will naturally be taken up by events on the pitch, we do sometimes wildy veer off-piste and venture into...
I went into it knowing it was a novel written by Morris from the perspective of Lale, who was giving his account of events to Morris from some 70-odd years ago, so I can forgive the odd inaccuracy (particularly when it comes to a serial number), as well as perhaps a bit of artistic licence being...
It was being widely reported across the media, and not just the idiot red-top comics.
Yes as Wood says the clause was triggered, but it was triggered early and it makes sense. It was in the interests of Wood, Wood's agent, Newcastle and Burnley's owners (in short-term financial terms at least)...
Southgate is contracted till 2024, and depending how the next couple of tournaments pan out, he may well feel he's had enough by then. Do you think Potter will be looking to jump ship from the Premier League in 2 years time to take over England ? (He's contracted to BHA till 2025). Whats the...
Joining the dots, I'd say that Wood's agent probably made it known to a (desperate) NUFC that his 30 year old client might be receptive a move, and that the Burnley owners wouldn't be adverse to cashing in on him IF the buy-out clause was met, even if is was being activated 6 months early (being...
Yes, but that buyout clause didn't kick-in until the summer. So they didn't HAVE to take the £25m this month - but they decided to take it anyway, fully in the knowledge there was zero chance of getting anything like that type of fee for Wood from anyone once this window was shut.
That club has...
Well....not quite. That buyout clause didn't kick in till the summer, but Burnley decided to cash in their chips on Wood this month instead.
American owners, eh.
I don't see it. Potter is in his first PL job, and it clearly won't be his last. His methods wouldn't be easily transferable to International football either - he needs time with the players to instil his mentality and style of play, and you just don't get much of that running England. I think...
You seriously reckon GP would bin off this job (contracted till June 2025) for a CARETAKER job at Goodison, just keeping the seat warm for someone else ? ???
Would've been pencilled in months and months ago, long before the Chelsea game was rescheduled.
Well done to the OP for the heads up though. I have no idea how the cars and coaches will get around this little delight post-match, if they don't re-arrange it.
He's lived off his "lovable buffoon" persona for far too long. He's now become absolutely toxic - his incompetence, his lack of attention to detail, his laziness, his endless lying, the fact he's surrounded himself with 23 year old lacky's. Its all coming home to roost.
Without doubt by far and...
