Can just imagine that background to that statement. *bring bring* GS: Hi, Mr Llambias? Geoff Sheard. I was wondering if we could finalise the details of the bid we tabled at the end of our meeting. (Llambias rolls his eyes and bobs his head side to side, making a "blah blah blah" gesture with his hand. Ashley giggles.) GS: Good to see the team get a good start to the season, they can go two points clear at the top if they win tonight, can't they? DL: Uh-huh, I... Wait, what? (Llambias grabs his copy of Shoot! magazine off the table and flicks to the championship table. Ashley bats the magazine up into his face, Llambias gives him a dead arm) MA: Ayazz! That was my TB! GS: Mr Llambias, we think the bid we tabled was quite resonable and... DL: What bid? GS: The bid we made at the meeting. DL: No-one told me anything about a meeting. GS: You were there. DL: You were there. GS: That's right, I was. DL: That's right, I was. GS: Mr Llambias, this is childish. DL: Mr Llambias, this is childish. GS: Listen, I was under the impression we were close to reaching a deal. DL: Ah, you have to provide proof of funds. GS: I gave you a letter from the head of Omnicrom's bank. You said that was adequate proof. DL: And what day was this? GS: Thursday. DL: Wrong! It was opposites day, so I actually meant that wasn't adequate proof. MA: Ask him if his refrigerator's running. *click* (Llambias texts you're on Sky Sports saying there's been no meeting and no proof of funds provided)

Few injuries and a stomach bug going round and we'll end up unable to field a squad.

How the fuck are we in a position to loan players out? You loan players when they're surplus to current requirements so they can get some experience and lighten the wagebill while they're not needed. If we're gonna get rid of him at least fucking sell him, it might leave us with a shit squad but you can see how we'd be forced into it if there was a decentish offer and could try and use the fee to get a replacement.

You forgot about the reverse vampires.

My concern would be that in the current climate there's no such thing as a definite return on anything. I'm not even too sure I trust Prudential to invest my pension stuff without things going horribly wrong, so they'd have to do a lot to convince me it'd be in good hands.

The more I think about this... Fucking hell it's heart wrenching enough to watch Newcastle plummet anyway, imagine if it had the added bonus of "Fucking hell, there goes my pension money." On the plus side, it would be one of the few pension pots not to be effected by the pensions crisis, seeing as none of us would get past 60 before an inevitable heart attack.

No chance, think it's doomed to failure and I'd end up living my final years in poverty.

nufcblog's take on it

Nope, after four seasons of doing it I now always try and use my wildcard in the first month. You quickly see who the big point scorers will be and you can get them all on board early and watch them rocket in value. The later you play your wildcard, the less games you get the benefit of it. Usually at one point later in the season I'll make a whole load of changes again and just take the points hit, but the points you get from your early wildcard play make up for it.

You get 2 free transfers per week. Any more and I think they dock 2 points off per transfer. You get one free transfer a week, but they roll over if you don't use them this season. Just used my wildcard. Any glaring errors or better options anyone wants to suggest before the 11:30 deadline? http://img133.imageshack.us/img133/8076/capturet.jpg

James heel!

His followers have gone up from 9 to 17 in the last 30 minutes

Yeah, twat him or whatever it is.

Quite the opposite of the deluded lot the media portray us as, supporting the toon makes you incredibly pessemistic. Even if we get taken over by rich yanks I'd be wary of celebrating because of the sneaking feeling it'd come back and hit me in the face, like when Ashley took over, like when we signed Owen, like when we were 12 points clearat the top of the league. When Newcastle score with Lady Luck you just know she's going to whip out a cock.

Have thought for a while that we'd end up with some Moat-Ashley hybrid mind.

Exeter City are the only prison case I can recall. Ah, this is what I was thinking about http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2009/jul/22/david-conn-derby-county

Was that when someone bought Derby for £1 and later went to prison for some bizarre money laundering thing or what that another takeover?

Real Madrid? Oh, from Spain. Thanks.

Why are we making Jonas play on wtih an injury?

Fucking bobbins

Come on Krul, be kind.

Yellow card

Pen to them, Krul may be off

Oh for f...
