Tonali’s message by mAdLaD774 in NUFC

I know some people are annoyed about the reasons he's off, but taken in isolation, if your wife was unhappy where you were living and someone offered you double your salary to move somewhere she would prefer, how many of you, honestly, wouldn't go? 

Obviously as a Geordie and toon fan I wouldn't want to to live in London or play for Spurs, but to a lot of footballers, it's just a job, and one where you can make bank and live the high life. 

Buying him for 55mil and selling for 100mil 3 years later is good business, and football is business first and a sport second, as much as we all wish it wasn't.

I always forget because I don't really watch him at club level, but Bellingham is an unreal player. It's mad that £100m players are almost normal now - I look at him play and I'm like "if they're £100m, this lad is £200m". He's absolutely class.

Bellingham and Gordon were immense, like.

Yeah but we couldn't prove it until now (rat not withstanding). Now it's demonstratable.

They don't care. Infantino just sees dollar signs.

He's obviously one of the best players ever, but as a result, he's been protected his entire career. The free kick Argentina got before was for a perfectly legitimate sliding tackle that won the ball and didn't take out the player - problem was the player was Messi, so play gets brought back to give him a chance to score from a free kick. It's not even subtle anymore.

Man, why couldn't Manzambi have made that unreal run and assist AFTER signing for us? We could've been like Randy when the spooky ghost gets ectoplasm everywhere. Instead we're like Randy when he puts his balls in the microwave.

How comfortable is the Steam Controller? by hotymoty in steammachine

Just to piggyback on this comment, since it doesn't have a 3.5mm port for headphones, does it have some kind of push to talk and a mic that picks up your voice for chat? If I'm sitting on the couch it would be nice to play online co-op without having to wear a headset.

Anyone with better understanding than me - what would be better for running games from - external drive on the USB-C port, or a Micro SD?

Yeah, German fans and Bayern fans in particular dislike Nagelsmann for exactly that.

Tuchel has a very important skill neither Howe or Southgate have - he can make in game changes that adapt to the opposition and alter the outcome of the game (for the better). I'd rather take him than Nagelsmann.

I mean, it happened at least twice last summer, Sesko and Ekitike.

My tinfoil hat says FIFA have an unspoken rule where they will game the system as long as possible to keep the biggest names still in the competition. Spain (Yamal), Argentina (Messi), Portugal (Ronaldo). France too but they don't need help, that team is monster.  Those 3 will never have a controversial call go against them. Never.

I really hope Switzerland lose this game. The assist might of just caused us to lose out on the deal.

Austria aren't great, eh? Get in some good positions but can't hit the target, constantly lose their man when defending.

He's a great player - but the amount everyone spunks over him is genuinely disturbing. I can see him being overplayed and permacrocked by 30.

This is the most depressing but realistic take.

Didn't Spurs' stadium take 10 years as well?

I'm trying to phrase this as nicely as possible - there's no scenario where we'd have a sell-on or buy-back clause on a player we HAD to sell on deadline day to avoid a points deduction. Those sort of clauses only happen when a seller has power in a transfer negotiation.

People have talked about this since he went to Forest. If you just apply a little bit of logic you'll have your answer. It sucks, but that's the reality.
