Let him go for peanuts, re-signed him for a world record 'official' £89 million (and the rest) and let him go on a free. The rags really know how to fuck up their transfers.

Almost looks like money laundering doesn't it? Just as well their books are open for all to see ;)

We are always covered like that , wio always says he wants us to lose, incredible that he is allowed to say that every time , disgraceful the way they treat us on big nites . Other english teams get fully backed and they are cheerleaders for them , stopped giving them my money ages ago

I hope he's on the panel if we lift the trophy in May. All the ex rags should be moved on sharpish, they are irrelevant just like their team.

If I recall correctly, we were first trying for Joe Jordan, who had a get-out clause in his contract at Old Trafford but was set on joining AC Milan. Fashanu's ill-fated decision to join Forest meant they had to fund the deal by selling a player and it was Francis they let go.

For a while in the autumn of 1981, with Francis and Reeves up front ahead of a midfield of Hutchison, Tueart, Hartford and Power, we looked like a side that, at the least, could finish high enough in the league to qualify for the next season's UEFA Cup. Unfortunately, Tueart, who was in fantastic form, ruptured his Achilles tendon and missed the second half of the season. Hutchison was shipped out along with others as we had to cut costs. And we suffered a load of other injuries including regular ones to Francis. A team that had seemed capable of much better ended up limping home in tenth place.

I remember that injury to Tueart well. Not a player within a few metres of him and he went down like he’d been shot.

The treble is on this morning according to BBC.

You'd think they are setting up a failure narrative.

All we're hearing is that the PL title is in Arsenal's hands. This is true but equally it's also in City's hands. Either team wins all their games and it's done. Come Wednesday night it'll only be in Arsenal's hands if they beat City. Any other result and it's solely in City's hands.

Hate the talk of trebles, there’s a lot of football to be played and it feels like the team is walking the tightrope. We may have a chance in the fa cup and league however we need to make up the ground on the games in hand to make it count. Real Madrid over two legs will be hard, they always find away to win and are clinical if you give them a sniff.

There will be some rejoicing across the world of football if we stumble at any point. What an end to a season though, every game is enjoyable and we have the Norwegian goal scoring cyborg breaking all records.

If we win two pots then be more than happy. Logically a treble like this is pretty impossible. Only done once by those twats. But if anyone is going to replicate it, then us this season will be it
