  1. I'd wager he'll be 'injured' for that one. Gutless little wanker.
  2. Hardly the end of the world tbh. He's not a good player and will be replaced easily from what I've seen of him. Probably go to Burnley and get relegated. We'll see.
  3. Don't really think we're in any position to have a pop atm. We're a shambles on and off the field and they've just appointed a decent manager and given him £50m to spend. Let's get our own house in order before taking the piss, eh?
  4. 76/77 Although the white one from 79/80 also looks nice.
  5. It DOES seem very planned and premeditated. Everything he has done. It almost CANNOT be anything other than deliberate - if it were not (also) so unbelievable. And yet . . . If he deliberately wanted to take us down then he would have let Allardyce stay on. Or at least appointed Kinnear instead of Keegan to replace him....
  6. As horrifically bad as it's turned out I refuse to believe Ashley's thought this through and planned to get us relegated. He's just got in way over his head and panicked. The people he's left to run the club day-to-day have been inept and we're in the shit until he fucks off. But he never planned any of it.

    RIP sale thread.

    Doesn't matter if the pricks running the gaff take it seriously or not - fact is that if they bid £100m then the club's going to be sold. Money talks and if they've got the green then they've got a chance.
  8. It's a fantastic day, what more can I say.
  9. Don't have a problem with it myself. It's there as a choice. Was one Sunday where I was totally hungover and couldn't move from the couch all-day and watched Goals on Sunday, a live Dutch match on Setanta followed by the two Premiership matches, a French match, and then a La Liga match. Better than most of the sh*te on TV on a Sunday. Fair enough, but how many people will continue to pay for the privilege of having the option to watch football for 18 hours a day? The choice is fine and the coverage/range is excellent but it's got to reach a tipping-point soon. First it was itv digital and now Setanta are about to go the journey. A lack of competition means Sky will not need to outbid everyone else when the contract is due for renewal and it'll ultimately be worth less for the clubs. We'll see I suppose.

    Some poor bastard is actually going to have to wade through all of the shite in that inbox looking for any sensible ones in there. Fucking hell.
  11. Sunday's are just fucking ridiculous now. You can get up at 7 on a Sunday morning and watch highlights on a morning, journos talking football at noon, 2 live games on the afternoon and sometimes 2 Spanish games on an evening. Talk about overkill. The bubble's going to burst soon for football.

    It's got to the stage now where the embarrassment barely even registers anymore. The club has lurched from crisis to crisis and we've given the whole country so much ammunition over the past 2 years that this fucking shambles just doesn't matter. We're already a laughing stock and the sooner we're shot of this prick the better.

    RIP sale thread.

    That's an unbelievable statement for the club to make. Aye, it's clarified the asking price but to sell the club to any interested email parties is just unreal. Absolutely staggered at the lack of class and decorum. It's crass at best.
  14. Don Hutchison. A geordie proud to play for the mackems and an Englishman who played for Scotland needs to be pelted with shit every time he sticks his head out of the fucking door. Prick.
  15. Thats just it though Ashley is not going give Shearer the job he wants to sell so he wont be doing any deal with Al, all we can do is hope the club sell fast and at thos pont I really don't care who buys it as long as its done fast. That's what a million Newcastle fans said 2 years ago. The same fans were over the moon when they heard a billionaire was the new owner. The same fans have just seen us go down for only the 5th time in 117 years. Oh I know mate, its just a sign of the sate we yet again find ourselves in, fact is we have no way of knowing how good or bad any new owner will be, byt the longer it takes to sell the bigger the mess we are going to be in. It's a shite state of affairs. It needs sorting and quick. The annoying thing is that if all this shit is dealt with we could fucking piss this league. Easily. With a new owner, new optimism and Shearer as boss, 40k+ crowds and a influx of fresh players we could wipe the fucking floor with most of the teams in this place.

  17. He'll sign if and when he's good and ready to sign. The club is in limbo at the minute and needs to be sorted before any important appointment is made. The whole thing needs ripping apart from top to bottom and if it takes a month or 2 to get sorted then so be it. As long as it's done right obviously. If Shearer wants to be the guy that oversees it all then he'll bend a bit in negotiations. I've actually managed to bore myself with this post but fuck it I'll post the twat anyway.
  18. OK then, fucking 85+ then.
  19. The target should be automatic promotion which is probably 75+. So much is still in the balance though we won't know how accurate or achievable that is until we know what's what.
  20. Is it Sunday again? This week's flown by.
  21. That Everton one isn't too far from looking good. The triangle is way too big but that's the only fault. The club badge is nice and big. The blue is the right blue for Everton and the sponsor blends in well and ties it together.
  22. He's a black & white twat and always will be in their eyes. The pressure on him to do well in the transfer market and to keep the fans off his back will be immense right from the off. It could well work out well but if he ever loses about 4 or 5 in a row the knives will be out sharpish.
