Dave from Cardiff tier 1 when?!

I do think it's strange that we've yet to announce a new contract if he was going to be staying on. I do think that Ten Hag's positive reinforcement of DeGea in recent months was mainly to keep his confidence up for the run in, if he really wanted to keep him, we would have signed off on it wouldn't we? Or maybe I don't understand multimillion pound contracts. Which is likely.

Got myself a ticket. Will be nice to see United in my home country, haven't been about the last couple of times. Just so happens I'm in Scotland for their Edinburgh game, so I'm gonna have a good Summer!

No worries. Seems like all sorts of outlets just went mad with it. Decent article on the athletic on the whole ordeal.

Can't pretend to be an expert on Hojlund, but from extensive youtube compilations to despacito, he's likely to score more goals than Rooney and Charlton combined. get it done.

Follow up to what I just posted, tweet from the editor of the paper: https://twitter.com/fahedalemadi/status/1668574524391018497?s=46&t=9VaAnKpRpp3Ftvhr0VtiUQ

"For more clarification "Contrary to certain media and social media reports overnight, Al Watan is not owned by Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani, and Al Watan's media report yesterday speculating about possible movement in the Manchester United takeover process was based on international media reports, as stated in the article itself, and with such news widely circulating periodically in international media for many months.""

No worries. Same sort of rubbish we read every day about United signing every player under the sun.

I don't speak Arabic and I don't trust google translate to get nuance, so I'm going to copy and paste a comment from a different forum I frequent:

"the entire thing is a joke. Al Watan never reported anything. Any person who properly reads Arabic knows that the tweet itself started with “news reports:” and that it indicates the tweet was aggregating, similar to the bbc rumors page or a filler article that says “reports in Spain suggest…” with no info claimed of its own.

the editor was retweeting fake Fabrizio Romano accounts. He was simply fooled into thinking there’s were substantive reports elsewhere that the deal was done, and made a tweet indicating that “News reports:”The paper has tweeted 3-4 times in the past few months doing the same aggregating on Guardian articles, and even the Sun staying sheikh Jassim would buy West Ham if he failed at United.

It is a joke that it even made it to the stage where questions were being asked and so many misled, there never was a claim that it was done by the Qatari paper, period. "

Hopefully this preferred bidder nonsense is announced this week. Sooner it's sorted the better.

Late 90s for me. Found WCW Worldwide on Channel 5, then Sunday Night Heat on Channel 4. So I mainly got to see the jobbers & a few highlights. First proper memory was Royal Rumble 2000 which was on free to air tv in the UK, I had it taped and to this day Cactus Jack vs Triple H in the Street Fight is one of my favourite matches ever. Randomly flicking about channels on TV I found some very indy wrestling, FWA. It had CM Punk vs Colt Cabana on it, which showed me there was other wrestling than the big companies on TV. From that the Wrestling Channel Launched in the UK so I watched NWATNA (weekly PPV days were crazy), ROH and MLW as well as some Japanese wrestling, but it was all Japanese commentary, so I didn't have the brain power to concentrate for that long. I've dipped in and out over the years, I mainly stick to watching AEW at the moment as there's just too much to keep up to date with on a weekly basis.

He scores goals galore. He looked decent (but slow) for his wee cameo. Pity he didn't get a customary yellow card.

Shambles how long this is taking. I was hoping it would be sorted by Pre-season but that feels unlikely right now.
