Football Titbits

[seaside nipper]

With all the usual objections to SA/Qatar/Dubai etc, I think the most worrying part in terms of ownership is that these nations will end up owning multiple top clubs in Europe. There will be mass collusion in the future guaranteed.

Think football has backed itself into a corner by forcing these nations to improvise with their ownership models. Should just accept these as state owners and limit the amount of ownership to 1 club per confederation. What's to stop Saudi or Qatar making 20 shell companies and have them owning the whole of the PL.

Massive inevitability about this
Middle East Emirate states looking to publicly ingratiate with the west, how better than to buy into a historic iconic football club in the most popular and currently best football league in the world.
Eight American owned clubs I think currently, there’s enough of a worrying trend right there !
The purchase of Man Utd is about as sincere and honest as Rod Stewart’s faux love of Celtic and Scotland

Wait I thought he was found a few days ago?

His agent has confirmed he is still missing and that those initial reports of him being found were false. Apparently they have found some of his belongings and that thermal imaging has shown signs of five people (he has a wife and 3 kids) but he still hasn't actually been found.

Being reported that his body has been found, sad news .

RIP Christian Atsu

Loving it!

I feel the fireworks trick didn't work again last night.

Yep, we should have scored a couple against them with 10 men so Real were always going to piss all over them. I was too kind to Liverpool on Super 6 and only went for 3-1 to Real.

Total legend of football in this country.

Such a shame

Shame that, John Motson for me had an amazing infectious enthusiasm for football.
The man and his vast knowledge game was to be admired.
I would have loved to hear him talk about Newcastle after our cup final this Sunday.
Can just imagine how he would eulogise and enthuse about NUFC especially if we got through a final and won something
RIP Motty

He was to English football commentary what Murray Walker was to F1.

And Sid Waddell to darts.

The Ronnie Radford goal is getting a bit of airing again due to the Motson commentary. You'd think they'd have worn that tape through by now.

Bruno Fernandes definitely knew what he was doing when he belted the ball at De Jong on the floor.

Man U looking good in the second half, very quick and pressing hard all over the pitch.

[bodacious benny]

They’re looking very good

Hopefully tho if they win tonight they get brought back down to earth on Sunday…
