£5000 and you can post them. £250 per club, and it doesn't even get passed onto them! Amazing isn't it.

I'd love to see the figures backing that up. van Nistelrooy (₤19m), Veron (₤28m), Ferdinand (₤30m) and Rooney (₤27m) Carrick (₤18.6m), Hargreaves (₤16m), Nani (₤14m), Anderson (₤18m), and Kuszczak (₤4m) 9 transfers which already make the claim bollocks.

For twice as much.

January.

At least there's zero chance of us ever playing against him. Unless of course we play them in a friendly.

One of Crouch's mates says that Redknapp will be putting in an increased bid. Or at least that's what Redknapp has told PC. Is Crouch's mate a friend of Bentley too?

Haha quality, here mate lighten up im only having some fun, quit yo' powertrippin! Sounded pretty serious to me, would others agree? I agree with him to be honest, despite being offended. You bloody moderators, spoiling our fun all the time

I'd get rid of him if I didn't think we were going to struggle to attract quality players this summer. I'm pretty certain we'll be starting next season with at least 9 of the 11 players we finished last season with, so getting rid of Viduka isn't really an option, even though he's always injured.

Are we doing lookalikes based on someone's hairstyle now then? How does Henderson look like Hulk?

I've heard that Boro are linked with him.

I've watched him play 3 or 4 times now, and I honestly can't even remember him being on the pitch. Is that a good or a bad thing?

Agreed, except that I do rate Milner. I honestly don't understand why so many people don't, but I won't get into it. Its easy really isn't it, we sell him and we buy his replacement who will be better but cheaper. Then we sign all the other players we need for the squad, we only need about 6. Never played Football Manager have you!? Loser! They're offering double what he's worth. It's good business sense to let him go. I honestly can't see why you rate him so highly. Is it something to do with your love of Amdy Faye? Good young versatile player who won't let us down when we need him. They may be offering double what he is worth but the squad is low and we could end up replacing someone who costs us double what they are worth. What does that actually mean? You mean he'll turn up to matches on time? We've needed him on plenty of occasions to put a decent cross in. Generally, he lets us down. If "not letting the club down" is all you need to do nowadays, we may as well give Dave a contract.

From the stats ... Modric has been the far better player. You can't even compare the two. How have you worked that out? Without comparing the two, clearly.

I might be able to sort you something in way of tolls mate, leave it with me. I'm with you on the second part though, I'd rather pay the £5.40. Do tell. I pay £5.40 a day just to get across to work, so if you know where I can get some free tickets I'm all ears A mate of mine used to be able to get them off his Dad as he had been doing work on the bridge. I'll see if he still gets them. If he can, should be able to sort you out with some, not sure on how many though. Just spoken to him, he reckons he will be able to sort me out with some for you. Nice one. I'll be looking at humber bridge for pick up anyway. I'll confirm how many of us there are by the end of the week.

Richard Money is an absolute legend. He's a friend of my dad from the time he was at scunthorpe. Top bloke.

Interesting one this. If I travel to Hull, which was the original plan, I end up paying £5.40 in bridge toll, as well as petrol. I could however drive to Donny, but I wouldn't want to leave my car there

Newcastle's league position during the last season of the previous board: 13 Newcastle's league position during the first season if the new board: 12 That's an improvement, despite having to put up with Allardyce for half a season. Like most realistic Newcastle supporters, I realise that we're unlikely to challenge for the top 4/5 for a long long time. This is nothing to do with the board, or who is managing the team. It's to do with the fact that football has changed considerably since Keegan last managed us. Even he has admitted that. His point about not breaking the top 4 had nothing to do with who owned the club. NE5 - you're a big fan of Keegan, yet you seem to disagree with him about this "little" point. Do you think that secretly Keegan would rather be managing the club under the old board? I seem to remember the reason for him leaving in the first place was something to do with a certain decision they made.....

Or not... Had a few requests from people hoping for a pick up at Doncaster Station and after a bit of research, it's quite possible without adding a great deal of time onto the journey. What I'm going to do is compile another route and see how popular that proves before confirming things. Hmm. By the end you're gonna end up taking 9 hours to get to the game. I see your point of keeping everyone happy, but I think if I was setting off from Hull I wouldn't want to go back to Doncaster before starting up through Leeds. Whilst you're at it though, rather than me travelling to Hull, how about popping through Scunthorpe to pick a few of us up? I do see your point. It's difficult, I really don't know what is best. I've found a route that would add about 25 minutes on but allow us to go via Doncaster. If this is to pick say 10 people up for example, to me that 25 minutes would be worth it. I remember earlier on in the thread Doncaster being touted as a pick up point but it didn't really seem like it would work. I'll look into some options now. Which way are you planning on going to Newcastle from Hull which involves a 25 minute detour to Doncaster?? Even Leeds is 45 minutes away from Doncaster. This route you've planned - what time have you got it down to?

What?

Exactly. Hull to Doncaster takes about an hour, and it's in the wrong direction!

In the event of a draw, a randomly selected team that was eliminated earlier in the tournament then gets through, or even crowned champions. Well it'd stop the Italy tactics anyway

I still don't understand why HTL leaving this board has any relevance to the current regime. He quit the forum before Ashley was around tbh.
