Typical NUFC to barely spend any money for 4 years, then spend tens of millions all at once on a wide variety of internationally capped players, and bring in an extremely high calibre manager, and we end up staring down the barrel of a gun in the one year Premier League relegation is financially ill-advised.

If Charnley and Carr stay it might well be time to plan for League One. But can imagine next year we'll be like Fulham or Blackburn even with them gone - masses of player transactions, no gelling process, end up stuck going nowhere in the middle or worse.

Shelvey was immense for us in the Championship tbf.


That was Charlie Adams

It's happened the last two times we showed #Ambition. - Souness and the Fat Controller spending £50m to secure us as midtable dross for the forseeable future, and Allardyce spending £50m on terrible players to put us on an inevitable path to relegation.

It was defnitely Shelvey. 6 goals in 10 games. Would take him over Charlie any day. He'll do you well next season down there.

Shelvey has said before he's staying if we go down.

Can't think who else will though. Although frankly if Sissoko wants to leave now then good fucking riddance.

So, by that logic, we'll invest as little as possible each year, finish in continual midtable and be stuck with Mike Ashley from now until the end of the world. Scuse me while I go watch paint dry instead.

I honestly reckon the whole leagues on juice.

Anyway, the doping allegations are about 150 athletes apparently. So thats the whole of Team Sky, hopefully Paula Radcliffe as well, the bare faced liar.

AFCamden is probably the closest to an itk we get at our club and Vardy liked that tweet, very strange. Think the guy is defo dodgy as fuck and could be doing it to drum publicity but it could kickstart an actual investigation.

It will probably be investigated, they'll conclude there's no evidence and nothing will happen.

Honestly, I have no idea why the Sunday Times have run with this story. They're supposed to be a proper investigative newspaper, secretly filming a crackpot quack who provides absolutely no proof of anything he claimed isn't journalism, its bullshit rumour mongering.

Even if absolutely everything he says is true, this story should never, ever be published unless they can verify it in someway.

I think it'd be naive to believe there isn't doping in football tbh. I mean Mahrez did pull up from a full sprint holding his hamstrings and fucking ran it off loooool

I said as much above.

But its one thing publishing an article exposing PED use in football, and its another publishing hearsay from a quack and pretending you've done some actual journalism.

They simply don't have a story.

The Sunday Times makes it clear it has no independent evidence Dr Bonar actually treated the players and only has his word for it.


Absolutely staggering, The Sunday Times ffs. Even the Daily Mail would be embarrassed of this 'journalism'.

Great strike that from Martin Olsson to win it.

Not sure how Sunderland didn't win their game, did everything right but time's running out...especially with Norwich's upturn in form. Pulis though, harping on about getting to 40 points in his interview. You're 11th and 13 points clear of the bottom 3! Which is decent for West Brom but show a bit of ambition, talk about trying to finish the top 10 even if it is nosebleed territory for you.

That was never a red for Kouyate either, didn't have his studs up or anything. Unreal free kick from Payet, so accurate.

As for tomorrow - come on Leicester!

I think this is the first ever time I've felt sorry for Sunderland. They deserved to win that game. West Brom are arguably the worst team in the league to watch right now, even Man United are more entertaining. Tony Pulis can't be safe come the end of the season surely; sure he kept WBA up but that was their 7th or so game that they didn't even have 1 shot on target. Dire.

Its naive to think there isn't some kind of doping stink in the BPL, and maybe this enquiry being commissioned will help, but you need more than one potentially unreliable source's claims to back up a big investigate journalism piece. This has the potential to make The Sunday Times look pretty amateurish.

Then again it was expected that Leicester, Arsenal, Chelsea and Birmingham City (the 4 involved in this) would deny involvement.

I still like the idea of it going to the final day just so the league title is handed over at Stamford Bridge. But yeah, they'll most likely win it before then. Still pretty fucking nuts its seemingly about to happen - not least given they were 7 points adrift this time last year.

... maybe there's hope for Newcastle after all. Ha. I wish.

All they did was remove the word "Prepared" ? Plus they think that was a bargain at around £80,000?!
