  1. Kinnear still working in 1994 prices, clearly.

    James Perch

    Three years in and at his age, is he not able to buy out the remainder of his contract if he so wishes? That would reduce the amount we could realistically ask for him as I doubt he is on massive money compared to the rest of the squad.
  3. There is nothing prestigious about Oxford St, it's an absolute dump.
  4. Yup, for all their action, it was the angry creditors who made things happen. We don't have any creditors, Ashley is answerable to no-one.
  5. Just wait round a corner and jump out at him.
  6. Good shout on the NUFC TV subscription, that was due to renew in a few weeks.
  7. I reckon we've got no chance of getting Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang now, sadly. Let's just hope he doesn't write the names of players on the back of a box of fags and we end up with Benson and Hedges Ricky Lambert nailed on
  8. Sir Clive Woodford? It's contagious!
  9. Did it for a season but then cancelled it.
  10. Which is why the deal was structed that way in the first place. If you think about it, why would the club voluntarily charge less for tickets? It's because they can guarantee a high renewal rate with payments starting mid-way through the previous season.
  11. Ah well, at least you can cancel the season ticket. Oh wait, you've already paid 1/3rd of it. Rinse Repeat

    So, Watford will be in the Premiership after all.

    Interest is charged on loans in effect, but it is done in a roundabout way (not sure on the details) so as not to technically contravene some religious laws. Clearly, there has to be some return in there otherwise no-one would offer the service!

    Alan Pardew

    Or this has been released to test the water and see what kind of reaction it generates.
  15. Trevor Francis unaware of the concept of the indirect free kick.
  16. I'm fecking struggling. Seek solace with Mrs Bimpy. Solace, hmmm not a word i would usually associate with her tbh. Solero, maybe.

    Heard through Blyth Spartans' forum that Steve died this morning. RIP.

    Why no playoffs?

    How do playoffs make it more of a meritocracy, if one team has a much better record over 38 games but comes off second best in the 39th? The ultimate test of ability is a season and not a single game. The FL has a playoff system to increase competitiveness of the league, but it is at the cost of some meritocracy, all the teams know the deal at the start of the season and even then the top 2/3 are promoted directly. A CL/Europa playoff could make things very interesting, but it still depends on where the 'break points' in the league are. Larger point gaps are more likely over a longer season, there is nothing to say 5th and 6th could be wrapped up and as they are both in a playoff game already with nothing else to play for but interchanging league position. It's a trade off and playoffs undoubtably make for thrilling viewing when the big prizes are at stake, but they shouldn't be deciding the ultimate champions.

    Why should it?
  20. He's always absolutely hates us, he was horrific whenever he commentated on us for Sky Sports.
