@andrewlaniganla@LukeEdwardsTele 15 goals for a £130m striker in a team targeting top 4 or better would be a pretty poor return, 20-25 minimum or he’s got to be considered a flop!
@TheRealJamieKay A few come to mind:
Duke Nukem 3D - played mass multiplayer on networked PC’s at Uni
Goldeneye - lost hours playing that with my bro as kids
FF VII - PS1 version
@stanly14@HLTCO Maybe, but wont see any change until the 29/30 season at the earliest as uk broadcast rights are already in place until then & nobody is likely going to agree to exit those contracts. Tender for the next period is autumn 27 so would need to be very confident by then on delivery!
@BMJYorston Boxing day it would be ‘was £80, now £40’, customers buying a 4 or 5 year old ‘bargain’, company still making a 3/400% markup. Took all ‘sales’ with a pinch of salt ever since!
@BMJYorston I worked in a mens fashion shop as a teenager (late 90’s). The company would buy in (very) old unsold warehouse stock from brands like DKNY, YSL etc for dirt cheap (i.e. £8/10 a shirt) then put it on sale at ‘full price’ £80 for a week before xmas…
@CharIieBennett@MickyC_NUFC@Bob_Helpful If i send you a stamped self addressed envelope will you send me a photocopy of your weekly newsletter?….
To old/niche? 😜
@richenergyceo@BetVictor Funny #nufc also 4/1 to finish top 6, which is MORE likely than relegation in the bookies view… meanwhile the Mackems are 11/4 to go down, we ain’t having a good season but the hyperbole is dialled up to 11 on here 😂
@HLTCO Blackburn 2 - 1 Newcastle in 96, Newcastle were 1 up and conceded 2 in the last 5 mins, killed our title challenge. What made it worse were the Blackburn goals being scored by fellow Geordie and boyhood Newcastle fan Graham Fenton 😭
@SkySports_Keith Arsenal apparently treat the transfer market like a middle school playground, their approach for Bruno so far appears to be “my mate says her sister fancies your mates brother… find out if he’d hold her hand if she asked?”. Make a bid or f off!
@eap101@OliverKay I said they’d deprioritised us, not looking to sell up so why would they ever go for a ‘dyche’ before the season has even started? Jaissle is young/‘exciting’ but also unproven in any top league, and moving from another PIF owned club so i take the 9m with a pinch of salt.
@OliverKay PSR is a factor, absolutely, as are the rules that were changed/introduced post takeover to stifle progress… but PIF have also been too slow in decision making, naive in their overall approach and showed their inexperience time and again.
@OliverKay The ‘buzz’ of the initial takeover after the many low’s of the Ashley era, and then the cup win feel like very distant memories when looking at what has happened since…
