David Icke - Son of God

You'd have think they'd have just bought him by now. It's been almost 18 months with this clause.

I know the club have been working on trying to get more tickets out of Brugge for the away trip. You'd hope/expect that any increase in allocation is done on the proviso the gesture is reciprocated.

I like the way he's numbered them. Must've been a fan of Thunderbirds.

We're going to end up with the football kit equivalent of this.. http://onscreencars.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/TheHomer.jpg

Till Thatcher flogged them off. Sorry to ask, but have you swallowed today's Daily Mail by any chance? no! wether thatcher did or didnt it is the truth. and anyone on the dole is just lazy and feckless. most single mothers just pop sprogs out to get a council house and most disability claimants could work as normal. thats not really what i said! But it's basically what you suggested.

So basically they're paying for the shirt sponsorship and to upgrade the academy to C1 status? I like the sound of schemes to get the fans involved, however they should never need to be ran in conjunction with a sponsor.

Preferred the Wongadome tbh. I find this moralising over Wonga being our new sponsor pretty pathetic, especially as it is only being done because they're not a fashionable brand name. Would there be the same outcry if Nike, with their history of exploiting children in the third world, or Coca Cola, who have been complicit in terrorising and murdering union officials in South America over the past few decades, were our new sponsors? Would there shite. In a perfect world we could watch the game without being battered by advertising messages from the litany of corporate partners that sponsor the team, the league, the ball etc. but we don't live in a perfect world. We live in a society built on commercialism and as a result we are going to have to swallow this shite. Now if you don't mind I'm off to listen to L'Internationale.

The thing that really saved us during the 4-4 is that once their fourth went in most people in the ground just seemed to think "fuck it" and started having a good time. There's no way we'd have got anything from that match if it was a tense 1 or 2 nil at HT.

My overriding memory of the 5-1 was being convinced we were going to get spanked until kick off, then I became supremely confident. Oh and Strawberry beer. I got absolutely fucking ratted on strawberry beer.

It's definitely not Nike then.

Nah, there was a clause written into the deal that allowed either party to end the deal at the end of this season.

I imagine this means the club have found a title sponsor who is going to chuck cash at us for the stadium name and shirt sponsorship. Either that are we're going with Sports cunting Direct.

I think they did an interview with Guthrie and the Sun took some of his quotes out of context to create a story. He doesn't seem to pleased about it.

Did he slate him for his absolutely ridiculous plucked eyebrows?

I can see it now - Pards takes us to the CL final in 2020, a 38 year old Shola leading the line after star striker Adam Campbell forgets to put on his factor 150 sunscreen and gets very badly burnt, his ginger skin just not capable of coping with the Mediterranean heat. The match takes place in the Nou Camp - the venue to one of Shola's finest hours. He nets a hat trick in what the media describe as one of the most staggeringly brilliant performances ever seen. At the end of the game Pards and Shola lift the European Cup together. Newcastle fans go wild. But what's this? A tear begins to roll down Pardew's cheek. An official hands the visibly choked Alan a microphone. He then begins to explain that when he signed his new contract back in September 2012 there was one clause both he and Ashley insisted was written up - come 2020 Pardew would step down and Shola Ameobi would be given the chance to manage his boyhood club. Shola pumps his guns, eats an apple and cycles off into the sunset with the European Cup strapped to his back as the fans roar. Or something like that, yer kna.

This deal gets a huge thumbs up from me. Stability is a key factor for any successful club and this deal goes some way to achieving that. Furthermore I like the fact the club is thumbing its nose at this current trend to get rid of managers the minute things get a little bit rocky. And as many have already pointed out Ashley is almost certain to have littered the contract with clauses that mean if a time comes when we do need to sack him we'll not lose out financially.

did this ever happen and if not why not seems to be the obvious thing to me at least he'd get some game time We loaned him out to Deportivo and Racing Santander. I've been told by people who have the inside track on this sort of thing (Look at me, look at me...I'm ITK!) there is a clause in his contract and if we play him once more we stand to lose out on a few million. That, coupled with the fact he's not actually very good, means he's more or less been frozen out.

Good to hear Pardew praising him. He's on the verge of being very potent, not just there yet. Need to start converting his raids in to crosses and shots. Very hard to handle. That'll come with time. He gets into positions, but he just holds onto the ball a little bit too long.

I've met him a few times and as you say, he's a lovely bloke. Made up for him.

Classic Tiote. Brilliant and ridiculous at the same time. God love him.

Murray basically marked himself as an utter prick when he threw a hissy over Barton gesturing towards Torres during the 3-1. He acted like he'd fucked his dead gran in the centre circle.

I absolutely love the roar that goes up whenever he gets the ball in any position. It must give him a huge lift to hear 52,000 shout "G'wan Hatem, son!" the minute the ball arrives at his feet, knowing that everyone in ground wants him to do what he enjoys doing himself. Having the freedom to play in such a way and know that if it doesn't come off you'll not get a bollocking from the stands must be great for a player like him.
