Ah, sweet. Do they just print it on for you like the names and numbers?

Is it because it was so abysmal last time, Lee?

I'm amazed one of his cars hasn't mysteriously blown up yet.

Sigh... http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/nufc/newcastle-united-news/2009/07/21/hughton-may-lead-toon-into-new-season-72703-24203665/

Just showed it on BBC news zoomed in and highlighted, you can see him twatting the guy about 5 or 6 times with uppercuts. And dancing like a mortal twat.

Ashley's just going to continue completely udnerestimating the investment of cash and skill that's required to get a football club anywhere and think "Hmm, they're not offering me as much as I want. I know I'll just hold onto it until next season and then I'll get a load more money when it's a Premiership club." with predictable results.

I take from that that he's grinding against low-level Ukranians to gain exp.

I thought one of the virtues of capitalism was that there were no rewards for failure or incompetence. Ashley is either an exception which proves the rule or something that demonstrates that's a load of bollocks.

Same quotes from McMahon, but including some bits the Chron cut out - unless he gave two similar interviews, some of the sentences are reworded as well. McMahon downbeat on Newcastle bid

It's driven me to drink as well.

Dammit, seen load of Facebook statuses saying "Well done, Freddy" and thought something had happened. Fucking cricket.

Is he really 12 or are Bolivians reverse Nigerians?

My mate who was there has just text me to say it finished 6-2

At least the topic no longer says "Nothing". Sick of this dragging on, it's not good for my blood pressure. Excuse me while I have a heart attack. HNNNNNGGGGGGHH That's better.

Looks like she's fallen straight out of an Aardman animation.

I like the way the poll looks like someone giving the middle finger, Ashley must have been tampering with it.

Portsmouth. Southampton. The latter of those will probably appoint Shearer as manager any day now. Pardew announced as Southampton manager for an initial term of three seasons http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~1725046,00.html

He'll fit in well there, he looks like he's got some mackem genes in him.

Aye. When's it officially out so I can buy it?

NEE PHOTO!? Saw it in the flesh today and the first picture of Taylor wearing it is pretty accurate colourwise. Took a picture of it with my phone, but it made the stripes look white when they're not white in the slightest. http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/5289/dsc00289w.th.jpg If you look at it full size you can see the darker yellow bits are really pourous and have a little zig-zag where they meet the lighter yellow bits. http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/5289/dsc00289w.jpg

If Ashley isn't happy with the offers (assuming there are any) what does he think is going to happen after starting the season with Kinnear or someone in charge and no investment in the team? That a better offer might come along later? He's made the msiake of holding out before when he wouldn't sell and the club's plummetted in value, surely he can't make the same mistake again?

If Mike's found in a garage with the engine running, what happens to the club?

It's more than possible I've got vague memories of being lectured by a Villa fan when I said something about Villa playing in claret and blue, said something like "We do NOT play in claret and blue, that's West Ham. We play in (insert some very similar sounding colours)" But that could have been another team, it could have been the other way round (West Ham don't play in claret and blue, that's us) or I could have dreamt it. Actually, it could have been a team I referred to as just playing in sky blue I was corrected on. Could you have just been sitting at home playing FM after a big night out? It's more than possible

Sigh... Wish we've won something when we were good, the way I feel at the moment I can't imagine us coming close to any kind of glory in my lifetime.
