No wonder they're taking such a f***ing long time in that case...

And any appeal will fall on mutton ears... (One for the cockneys in the audience)

So.... This evening marks a full week (one whole f***ing week) since the appeal ruling, and since the club / owners last uttered anything about the situation... I have just one question m'lud.... WHAT THE ACTUAL F**K IS GOING ON???!!! (Aaaaaand.....Relax)

Depends on whether there was any consent or not, surely? #consentingsheep

That was 21 hours ago.... Alex's view will have changed c.18 times since then...

Just need them both to keep a low profile during the World Cup first...

Cheers for the heads up... My imaginary cricket team were looking for somewhere to stay in the north east next month as it happens...

I assume we're not yet up to the "when it's done" point on @LeG's timeline, given we're still waiting for the club to deal with the fallout....?

Probably not the best turn of phrase in the circumstances....

A competent owner will obviously take all this into account.... ah... erm.... yep, on reflection, you make a good point....

Please promise me, as head of the forum thought police, you've got your "unhinged" and "pony" pelters lined up for those of us that have the temerity to question the FA's decision if they decide to impose a ban? Pretty please?

Maybe 'inside info'... Although if someone has asked any of us to summarise the likely current position in a couple of sentences, we'd have probably come up with something similar, despite not having a clue what's occurring...

Even Gary Barlow's started to take the piss now... P.s. first post on this thread for 11 hours... 'spygate' fatigue kicking in at long last...?

Yep, congrats to Larin, but at the same time, we need you to have a shite world cup please!
