Got a feeling we'll twat them tbh. We've not given anyone a good hiding yet.

Gianluigi Lentini.

Bloke I worked with at the time nearly totalled the car we were in when it came on the radio. THE FUCKING WHAT??

Honestly think Messi will become the benchmark by which all players are compared. At the minute it's still Pele. Maradona and Best - in 5 years time it'll be Messi. He's untouchable and unplayable at the minute. He's a joy to watch.

I don't think it will change that often. I think if they're going to hawk it out then it'll go the the company offering the best deal. That'll change fairly often imo. Best case scenario is that we get bought by someone who gives enough of a shit to revert back to St. James' Park and sticks to it. We'll have to wait and see though.

The name of the ground will change over time, I still call the Leazes by that name, my kids call it the Sir John Hall because that's all they've ever known. I don't think it's going to be called the Sports Direct Arena for the next 15 years though. It'll change as often as the shirt sponsors do. It won't stay the same long enough to take hold. It'll always be St. James' Park to those who matter.

Neither would I. It would make it easier to deal with though.

Advertising is everywhere in football. It's on the shirts, on the hoardings, on the ball, on your ticket, on the concourse, in the programme, on your hot dog - it's everywhere. The next step is to rename the stadium. The official name has changed but how many of us use it? The BBC may use it, Sky may use it but I've not heard a single person use it in the flesh during a conversation. The change has made no impact on how I view things. Not saying I like it because I'd rather he hadn't done it. The hoardings look shit. The roof of the Gallowgate looks shit, no arguments there but if it wasn't Sports Direct then it would be another company being advertised in the same space. The crux of it for me are that we're getting no benefit from all of this. We've relinquished the name of our stadium for no benefit and that's out of order. Had Sports Direct coughed up £8m (or whatever) a year for the privilege of naming the stadium then it would have been easier to swallow. The fact it's being done for zero benefit to the club is the real sickener. If someone like Nike come in and offer real cash for the right to change the name of the ground then there would be a sea-change in opinion.

It's shite man. http://www.readytogo.net/smb/showthread.php?t=675233

Starts 1st March and it's £42.83 per month. Crazy.

Could be this, just a fiver instead. Snide. Was £558 for this season.

Can't understand where the £43 came from tbh.

Got one this morning. Sounds like it's going to become a rolling 12 month direct debit type thing.

Still maintain he wants the furore and controversy. The more fuss that's kicked up, the more articles that get written, the more people talk about it the more his company gets mentioned. It's free publicity and there's no such thing as bad publicity. Fucker knows exactly what he's doing man and he doesn't give the first toss.

The Arsenal one looks top notch. That little hint of black makes it.

How the fuck can £33,000,000 just 'go missing'? What the fuck is going on if the administrators come in, look at the books and find a £33m black hole? It's not a packet of fucking peanuts for fucks sake.

Never mind.

There's only 2 isn't there? Fucking deviant.

A guy called Gerald.

Voodoo ray seems pretty sure there will be no trains on like. He must know something.

Sounds like they've basically sacrificed a title they weren't going to win this year to wipe their 10 year debt out during which time they won shit loads. They need to be made an example of.

Rangers still owe Hearts about £800k from the sale of Lee Wallace this summer. Dunfermline and Dundee Utd both due about £90k each too from Rangers. All unlikely to get anywhere near what they're owed... Conniving wankers.

Is all of that legal?
