Yep, all utter ****e.

I do quite like H&J when I'm driving home on a Friday as they are anything but, and talk about the actual sports with knowledge.

Leaving early today though so will miss the most of it.

H&J is by far the best show on their station ... although Cundy and O'Hara can often be funny - but primarily because enraged (possibly pissed) fans phone in and go off on one ...

White is tedious but I actually agree with Pieguts that Jordan is often quite astute, albeit rather an egotist...

Goldstein thinks he's hilarious - but is rather predictable and one dimensional ... used to detest Durham but don't find him quite so irritating these days..

OK, my apologies if I misinterpreted your reply. I genuinely thought Jordan made some good points that would translate to any club looking to either redevelop or relocate.
And yes I do normally avoid talksport and White in particular.

Was amazed that they didn't mention that one of the positives of relocation over redevelopment (or rebuilding on the exact same site) was that they would be able to continue playing at the old venue until the new one is ready. Surely that's the biggest plus, as trying to switch 75000 fans to another stadium in the north would not be possible. Maybe just tell the fans that come up from London and Ireland, to stay home for a couple of seasons and then ground share with Salford City.

Ignoring your cliche, I see no reason at all why we couldn't use the Etihad.

You know, the one that Manchester council donated to City and they paid **** all for.

When he was the owner of Palace, the fans used to chant “the futures bright, our chairman is orange” on account of his permanent tan.

Sutton will het binned when he's in the Daily Mail for fingering the tea lady without consent or buying a jammy dodger first.

Sutton is predicting Everton to win 2-1 at ours tomorrow...

Now this is probably the first game of the season that the members on our board ate predicting a win for us from - and given how both teams have performed so far, that's understandable ...

Sutton could of course be right - but him trying to blag his rationale is utter bullshit - he will never get over Brendan Rodgers moving to 'a more ambitious club' ...

So far this season Sutton has got his predictions for us 50% correct ... having gone for a loss every time <laugh>

That would appear like you were the inferior club being allowed to use City's stadia.

I know it wouldn't be true but Utd need their own stadium.

If a new one was built and you both shared then it would be fine.

Not sure that would feel right United sharing City's ground, although having said that, Roma and Lazio share the capitals stadium and have a heated rivalry.

So on our board Jakarta often gets referred to as a Man Utd fan for reasons I'm not actually sure about. I'm trying to work out there's an underlying joke here which I'm just not seeing. Help me out @JakartaToon are you just making a genuine point? Seems a bit vanilla.

Well if he's living in Manchester he's not going to be a United fan is he? Could be that him living in a foreign country with no connection to Manchester that gives them the impression he's a United fan.

We’re playing Miilllllwall at 12:30 as West Ham play Chelsea. Newcastle in town at Fulham and Spurs v Brentford at 3. United at Palace at 5:30. The Met will be ecstatic- hope there’s a Hamas march planned.

Exactly, he could play for a less intense team who isnt in Europe and doesnt play 2 games a week if he wanted.
He could go play for QPR and earn 4k a week instead and play less games. 4k a week is still an amazing wage ffs
These footballers want the big payouts without the work that comes with it and its pissing me off.
Does he think the public, most of whom are scraping by on 30k a year are gonna feel sympathy for him? "Oh no I have to play 2 games a week for my 300k" like seriously go **** yourself.

And **** all the smaller clubs

18 would be the ideal amount for me. 34 league games is enough.

Bottom of the league relegated and champions promoted. A playoff at Wembley between 2nd bottom and 2nd in the Championship.

Cut the 3 football leagues to 20 too. 46 games is ridiculous.
