This. been on holiday and just got back to reading this message board and can't believe this at all. Incredible. Forgot to text you yesterday.

Willie McKay's as big a cunt as Ashley. Don't believe or trust the pair of them. Wonder if he's protecting his client's interests by attempting to justify his Twitter shit last night? Maybe he's not in quite as much demand as they first thought?

There would be no point in sacking him since they would just replace him with as even bigger cock end or bring JFK back. That's the point - he'll walk. Everyone's got their breaking point.

Lose the first 2 games (not a bad bet either tbh) and he'll be under massive pressure from the fans already annoyed about the lies about the investment and seeing good players leave. Might seem knee-jerk to outsiders but it'll happen.

Ashley's NUFC - one step backwards, two steps back. The stunning lack of investment has caused all of this shite. I'll admit Barton was stupid to make his criticism public but he's obviously been as frustrated as the majority of the fans. Every penny goes back into the team we were told. Fucking lies man. This club will never move forward under Ashley's reign. It's a shite state of affairs and I'm genuinely worried how many more of our (few) quality players will just give up on us and move on to a club with ambitions. Unfortunately we'll still be here after they, and Ashley, have slung their hooks. It's fucking shameful.

Bet he's not still doing things like this in 10 years time.

If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem. Barton's comments are causing unnecessary aggravation. No idea what his motivation is for some of them - is he trying to divide the players? Is he undermining the people who pay him circa £50k a week? Is he deliberately drawing outside attention to this unrest? Is he trying to force his way out of the club? Is he just sticking up for his mates? His stupid comments certainly aren't helping the club and only ensure that the media microscope will be focused on the players even more. We all know what Ashley and Llambias are all about and they've (mis)managed the club for the last few seasons. We know about the lack of investment and ambition off the field but Barton's creating even more pressure for the players on the field now too. He needs to shut the fuck up - his comments are helping no-one.

They'll have already been informed that if the correct bid comes in they'll be sold. Don't see what use handing in a piece of paper will do, other than appeasing the Nees. So that neesy can have the opportunity to slag them off for being disloyal and greedy and being liers. When have I said Barton has lied? Its fucking you saying that people are lying on here, wanker. How many more people are you going to have a pop at? Not fucking many. Calm down and stop calling people names.

Never going to be in favour of airing this type of shit in public. He needs to stop slagging the club on Twitter and do it in person. Keep it for your book Joey.

Result means nowt. I'd have said the same had we won 3-2 anarl.

Going to the carnival like? Nee way Haven't trusted those gypo rides since I went as a bairn and I got on the ferris wheel. It was going round like a fucking wind turbine. I was sure it was going to pop off and roll us all down onto featherbed rock. I meant Stevie. Never mind.

Going to the carnival like?

All depends on how quickly Blackburn sack Kean imo. Bin him early and they've got a chance to get themselves out of it. Harsh as fuck reading that back seeing as a ball hasn't been kicked yet and already I've assumed they'll be in trouble early and will sack the boss.

Didn't sell anyone last summer I don't think but spent a few million on Tiote and Perch.

No Enrique... hmmmm

When was the last time we didn't make a profit during a transfer window? Must be a few years ago now is it?

Still the Enrique cash to come in yet...

Marveaux in, Routledge (eventually) out. I reckon we're about a million up on the deal at a random guess.

Or they fucked the paperwork up when signing him and are now spinning it into it being 'routine'.

'Pre-decided' and 'routine' my ballsack. Can't remember Drogba, Kalou or the Toure's (or anyone else for that matter) having to jump through all of these hoops.

Ferguson will do as he's told. Might be a case of Pardew thinking - 'He's a natural left footer and works hard up and down the wing. Fuck it, he'll get us by at LB 'til January.'

This is my take on it: The club identified Tiote as a player they wanted last summer. The invited him over to discuss a contract and become an employee of the club and he agreed to join. I presume they arranged is flight over here, his accommodation while the talks were ongoing, his medical, his registration being transferred to us, his visa, his registration with the tax authorities and so on. I'd also like to think they gave him advice as to where to buy property and so on to help him settle quickly. As far as Tiote is concerned all of the stuff the club sorted out to allow him to play for us should have been done properly. IF it turns out it wasn't done properly then the buck stops with the club and the officials whose job it is to make sure that red tape issues like this don't happen. We wanted him. We should have bent over backwards to make sure everything was sorted. All imo obviously.

surely if its with his visa or passport its tiotes responsibility to sort it out, not the clubs? Wonder who sorted out his visa to pay for us when he signed? I'm presuming it was us because he became one of our players/employees and we took care of it so he could actually play. His passport would be a different matter, that's Tiote's responsibility but I've not read that this was the problem - it was the visa. The person(s) organising the tour should have sorted all of this stuff out before we even left.

What's he said this time?

What's the context of said phrase mate? Never heard it. it's said by commentators when what they really mean is "on goal". "so&so needs to do better in that situation & at least get his shot on frame..." they think they're being so innovative with soccer jargon--- arrgh! Ah right, frame is such a shit word to use in that situation.
