The drinking was heavy there, for sure. I could absolutely not hang. I was at 50% or fewer drinks than most guys there.
My first time in London the couple I was staying with and I met a friend of theirs for a lunch of meat pies and mash in West Ham. When in Rome. Stayed on after in the pie shop playing bumper pool and got rocked on Brown by like 3pm. Then went home and ordered pizza, which came with a six pack. Then went bar hopping in Piccadilly and they finally left me at a club (with an address for the cabbie stuffed in my front shirt pocket) while I danced until closing with a lovely lady from Norwich who had been poured into her dress. She rebuffed my Anglo-American Unification Plan, so I made it home just in time to meet the gent of the house getting up to watch the Australian Grand Prix. After the race, I went to bed until like 3:30pm local time, which, since it was November, meant it was basically dark. Waking up after dark completely horked my internal clock for the rest of the trip.
needs that Boateng postering to make it go to 11.
They better not split it. I try not to complain about the current mess we have, but if they split the EPL between two or more streaming providers, I’m going to flip to Serie B or some league from South America.
An outright ban seems dumb to me. I don’t think it’s that hard to value these deals to keep them at FMV. That’s what FIFA does for FFP break even analysis and it’s done all the time for tax purposes. Also, I’d think more than just City and Newcastle would have a problem with this. LCFC and King Power comes to mind and I’m sure there are others.tariq panja@tariqpanja
At emergency meeting of Premier League today there was an 18-2 vote to ban related party transactions (sponsors related to team owners) for a month while permanent rule changed discussed. Newcastle and Man City (who’ve always claimed Abu Dhabi deals are market value) opposed.
LOL at Bruce admitting it got to him when fans called him a “tactically inept cabbage head.”
“By the time I got to Newcastle, I thought I could handle everything thrown at me but it has been very, very tough,' he added. 'To never really be wanted, to feel that people wanted me to fail, to read people constantly saying I would fail, that I was useless, a fat waste of space, a stupid, tactically inept cabbage head or whatever. And it was from day one.” - Steve Bruce
it gets more dumb by the minute.
Radio guys talking about how the last game was Bruce's 1,000th and maybe that was why it was delayed?
That's speculation, yeah. I think the takeover just got approved so suddenly that it's taking a little time to get everything ready. I suppose it's a nice thought that they gave him a chance to get his 1000th but they're in a regulation scrap - can't be getting all sentimental.
Seriously. Every 4 years is perfect. FIFA needs to push for and promote the other federations to match their tournies with the Euros. Want to keep interest? Make the Gold Cup and Copa Libertadores and all the other ones go every 4 at the same time as the Euros. Promote them. Don't kill them for a watered down world cup, esp one that may not have big teams because they have to skip after playing the last one.
They'll have a caretaker before the Palace match I think. My guess is they wanted to stick with Bruce until they nailed down the caretaker prior to the January window, but they (and Bruce) just saw how untenable the situation really was after the Spurs game and mutually decided he had to go immediately.
But you would also think they would have had a plan beyond "Hey we bought Newcastle, now what?" Now they have an interim Manager (not even a caretaker manager) and still no plan for who's taking over long term.
