  1. Club Ownership | INEOS responsible for the football side

    This is a real insight into what has been going on and reflects things others I know who work at the club have said. As to those saying "good riddance" to staff not wanting to work flexibly then I say this. Do you expect that the ONLY people to leave will be the bad apples as described in the...
  2. Music Eurovision 2024

    Common sense has triumphed and Malta didn't make the final. I'm relieved I don't have to try and support it!
  3. Club Ownership | INEOS responsible for the football side

    Now you are just being very cynical! The recent "Ivy restaurant" meeting was just a more convenient location for a bunch of senior Managers to meet up and I'm sure none of that was expensed to the club. It's very healthy for senior strategic thinkers to get out of the office but the drones...
  4. Club Ownership | INEOS responsible for the football side

    Coming soon from Ineos... SJR leaves increasingly passive-aggresive A4 laminated requests in staff rest area to clean the microwave after use. Microwaves subsequently removed from canteens over "Fire hazard risk" Staff at Carrington left confused by new Japanese lavatory paper dispensers that...
  5. Music Eurovision 2024

    I've just looked up my songs in the sweepstake (Portugal & Malta) and if I win I will be as shamefaced as the United team after that farce against Coventry...dreadful performances!
  6. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    looks like we have reached the "tit for tat" briefing stage with Players, Manager and Club all briefing their point of view...We are in Endgame now!
  7. 25th May, city in the final: What could swing it in our favour? Scenarios?

    Our best chance is that in the run-up to the final at the press junket someone accidentally leans against a curtain switch and the curtain slowly pulls back to reveal the City squad getting a variety of injections administered by Pep (seen for the first time without his fake bald cap...

  9. Old Utd Fans, how was it like during 1989/90 season?

    I think it's very hard to compare with the modern Premier league. Liverpool had won a lot of titles with a few star players and a lot of journeyman professionals. For every Kenny Dalglish they also had a Craig Johnston. Also the general standard of the mid and lower table sides was way lower...
  10. The Rise of the Right Wing In Ireland.

    I think he's got the Eurovision entry for 2025 all sewn up!
  11. Television Feature length documentaries

    Thank you for highlighting this...it's amazing. The time lapse of the rug is a magical moment and proves his theory to my mind. It just appears out of thin air...I've never seen an artist do that!.
  12. Old Utd Fans, how was it like during 1989/90 season?

    I'm old enough to remember this time and it's hard to convey the sense of one step forward / two steps back that it felt at the time. You had stalwarts / fan favourites of the club like Whiteside, Mcgrath, Moses, Strachan leaving and being replaced by people like Mal Donaghy, Ralph Milne, Neil...
  13. Television Bodies (Netflix series)

    Yes I got to the end of the second episode and just felt like not carrying on with it. Reading about the level of content in the graphic novel it's clear they just decided to ditch large parts of the narrative here and whole bits just didn't make sense. Committee script writing I suspect.
  14. Ineos appointments - Who will they be?

    I predict a "resolution" will occur about 5 minutes before Newcastle have to go into a meeting room for the arbitration and divulge a load of company information in a forum where records are made public. What they WILL try and do is get the date of the arbitration meeting pushed back / delay it...
  15. Who replaces Ten Hag?

    The only way I can see Tuchel working is like how Red Adair used to put out fires at oil drilling sites. A huge paraffin soaked barrel of Dynamite that gets slowly moved towards the burning toxic cloud of hot air and gas. As soon as it hits the column of spewing fire it ignites...explodes and...
