And the premium they pay will of course cause yet more inflation to further cripple clubs outside the top flight (or even outside the top 10). Football needs less billionaire owners not more. It was fun when Chelsea did it, it was a bit a novelty but now it's just boring and ruining the game. It's a bubble that is going to burst at some point. Look at barca, I think it's just a sign of things to come.

Glass houses, remember Ronaldinho 🤣 The sleeping giant who hasn't won anyone since 1950s. Its not sleeping, it's in a coma. I don't normally like Jaason Cundy but he said something along the lines of they're a big club in Newcastle, not England

Debt free as well.... I've never understood what their problem with him is

Fingers crossed Shebby Singh is getting a call with a job offer

Cant stand Newcastle fans. One of the last clubs I wanted taken over!

Nice one! Smart choice I reckon. Having £0 when you could have had £10k is far worse than having £10k when you could have had £20k. I'd have done the exact same. I only got 80/1, i don't have cash out available on it but if I did, for 800 I'd ride it out. If I got in at 250/1 + I'd be cashing out instantly. Surely someone at sky bet is getting a telling off for letting 1000/1 happen

You have absolutely no historical data to support that... oh wait

One step closer to 20 goals for diaz

Absolute nosebleeders

Just watched the highlights, people weren't exaggerating about Magloire being out jumped for the first goal. Had someone strapped breeze blocks to his boots or something?

Like a child playing football manager "must use all my subs now"

Concussion sub

Some got in at 1000-1, think Claytons son had a tenner on that. I got in after the odds had tumbled to 80-1 which I lumped a tenner on. Seen tons of people on the Facebook group have put 10-20 quid on at various odds from 50-1 to 1000-1. Would be interesting to see how much stands to get paid out in total on that bet.

12 to go!

Surely edun as a make shit right back is better than Buckley at wing back?

My mind hasn't changed on mowbrary and I fully expect a collapse at some point in the season but I'd be outraged if we sacked him now while the team has some momentum. Whilst the team is doing well he has an opportunity to change our minds

Just seen the first goal, we're surely going to get sanctioned for swapping out Gallagher for berbatov?

I only got in at 80/1. Still worth a tenner mind

Is that 6 for the season? Aka 14 more till a lot of bets pay off?

Might explain why attendances are so low...

Dislocated ankle that got put back quite quickly. If he's managed to avoid doing damage to his ligaments he's hopefully come out of it much better than expected

Thought he got the ball tbf, both feet weren't off the ground. Thought a red was harsh and based on the outcome rather than the tackle

Fingers crossed but I don't think its as bad as it looked. Hope it's a speedy recovery, great talent

Sterling proved me wrong a bit at the euros but is not world class. Too often he makes the wrong choice or fluffs his lines. Acting on instinct he is class but as soon as you can see he's thinking about what to do next, 9 time out of 10 it'll come to nothing. Rule of thumb is if I can see a pass you should make its already a second or two late but sterling takes another 5 seconds to make a decision after even I've seen the pass.

Good for Chelsea goes missing for England
