  1. One other element is this - Nottingham Forest have made a big song and dance that they think they would have been compliant if they had sold Brennan Johnson before the PL accounting deadline of June 30 because of the way homegrown academy product sales are calculated. However, they wanted more money than the only pre-30/06 bid they got and couldn't finish the deal until transfer deadline day 3 months later. So this does raise an interesting question as to whether multiple clubs will need to sell before then and if anyone will want to.
  2. This is quite the left field announcement indeed.
  3. Either it's a very big wardrobe or you can fold yourself up into a very small form.
  4. An excuse to repost the extended version:
  5. I suspect it doesn't work like that and that we'd probably get more than 6 off if we decided just to throw the GDP of somewhere like Vanuatu at our squad. I'm assuming that Everton were included because it's the only real precedent that they have to work off of, but there does seem to be a lot of room for doubt and confusion that the PL initially wanted to give 10 points and still have 6 while Forest have 4. Forest spending £250m on 42 players in the two years, to say nothing of the wages, since they got promoted is basket case stuff, and one where it doesn't seem like they can bring in stadium expenses like Everton, even if there is other stuff there. But pfft. Who even knows anymore. It's almost like setting up a big financial regulation without pre-written guidance on how to police it was destined to cause headaches.
  6. Well there may be no Glastonbury as it stands but if you do wanna spend a lot of money on seeing them...
  7. Never Gonna Give You Up was 21 years old when Glasto 2008 was on. So not far off Standing In The Way Of Control being similarly old, but not quite.
  8. Not sure if this is a one-off or part of a full tour.
  9. I assume they'll play England at Glastonbury, so maybe lob in that one too.
  10. Pair of other UK dates also announced:
  11. I think that'll help given that's still cheaper than most of these acts' own shows. Even if it'll be shorter sets if prior R1BW events are anything to go by.
  12. While true, it was the day after they'd played Victorious Festival in Portsmouth and a few months after doing a fairly large venue tour. My friends saw them at a club show in Milton Keynes a few weeks ago and said they were very good tbf.
  13. It's too easy to get sucked in to what people are saying there given it is pure reactionary stuff where you're seemingly only as good as your last game. I will say the only big name I'd like is Julian Nagelsmann, who was linked with us a month or so ago, given his record at building Hoffenheim and RB Leipzig was great and he was harshly treated by Bayern, but equally, it felt to me like an extremely unrealistic suggestion, plus the fact he's managing Germany at the Euros means he'd be available very late into the pre-season cycle. I certainly don't like the idea of Mourinho, which is one that seems to pop up quite a lot, and a few of the other big names just don't make me think they'd be an improvement. At the end of the day, this has been a strange and awkward season, but that's primarily due to our shocking injury record, and I think Howe has enough credit in the bank that he gets a chance to try again. We'll need to figure out how to manage injuries better, but that's part of the growing pains as much as anything.
  14. This was pretty impressive ngl.
  15. Presumably Man United and Liverpool will struggle to match the joyous lunacy of this FA Cup tie when they meet in the league in 3 weeks time. Indeed, Amad Diallo also has a moment to dine out on forever if he's scoring 121st minute winners. I'm also impressed of a final 4 of Chelsea, the two Manchester clubs and Coventry. And even then they deserve acclaim for scoring twice in stoppage time to turn a loss to Wolves into progress.
