I refuse to believe we are still going to be going after has been cloggers anymore. Tell me this was just unsourced press speculation or will we never learn. Guessing it's a name Joe wrote down which Wise promptly crumpled and threw in the bin. Probably been telling poor JFK ever since that Liverpool are being real bastards about it and playing hardball, looks like we might not get him in. I'll ring them again right after today's game, I promise Joe.

Lots of Money Yes but it's incredibly vague and unhelpful.

what the fuck is lots

She's having a laugh.

Have to say the more I see that picture the less happy he looks. That doesn't look like the face of a man relieved to be leaving chaos and turmoil behind.

I know it can't be right, but still.

I thought the whole thing was that keeping him around, especially after the events that had occurred, could have been a major disruption. City knew this and it looked (and still looks) like they tried to take advantage of it with a derisory offer. We played hardball and probably got the best we could given the circumstances. How things may or may not have turned out had we kept him around until summer we'll never know.

That fee better be double fucking digits.

Yeah, brilliant. Man City have confirmed it is completed. Yep, just saw it. http://www.mcfc.co.uk/default.sps?pageid=115&pagegid={DBD12D53-8346-431D-A04F-5D0F8664DE80}&newsid=6626298&siteid=&pageno=&newscategory=&frommonth=12&fromyear=2008&tomonth=2&toyear=2009

Only if he plays until he's 55.

Fair enough his crossing needs work but how many times was he the only person looking like running at their defense? Taking on 3 or 4 scum and still coming away with the ball. For me, one we can't afford to let go. Slightly pissed at how he seems to be targetted for shitty fouls. Has had almost twice as many committed against him as anyone else.

Fuck me FUCK ME I just about had a fucking heart attack watching him run up

Well done Seba.

Fuck.

Wow shola. wow.

I must be super cynical as i pointed this out a few days ago, until ashley recovers his £100 mi he cant sell I'm confused. So how's he going to recover his £100 million, then? Easy. Every season he sells our best players and buys some inferior ones with the money this generates. The unspent cash goes into his pocket. This season for example we look like funding the £10m purchase of Xisco, Nolan and Taylor by selling Milner, Given and N’Zogbia for about £25m. A possible profit of £15 million on transfers would only cover just over half the clubs yearly losses (based on the last lot of accounts), while reducing the pot of future players who would bring in a profit if they are so inferior. Easy my arse. While not taking a penny, he would still need to subsidise the club. Sounds a great money spinning idea. The question was how is he going to recoup the £100m he lent himself, not the £135m he paid for the club. Ashley needs about £240m to break even. He almost certainly intends to do this by flogging our best players and then selling up. Asset stripping isn’t complicated, you just need a complete lack of morals. He should be able to get £200m for a struggling PL club of Newcastle’s stature. So if he keeps us up for four or five seasons he’ll be quids in. If we go down he’s f***ed. So where does this endless stream of world class players come from that he can make a 20m profit on selling for 5 years running? You said yourself he'd be replacing them with cheap, inferior players ... I said best, not world class. Martins, Jonas, Beye, Guthrie & Taylor would bring in a few quid +any of the young kids we’re buying who actually make the grade. Wouldn't total 100m. edit: you know what, nevermind. You're just a WUM. I'm not wasting any more time.

Steven wont be in the team.

fanfucking tastic

bad challenge by SWP on a stoke player, delap revenge kick, red card for delap ... swp uncarded so far

N'Zombiea Could have sworn that second mumble from JFK was "M'Bison" or "M'Bosnia" both of which are also acceptable.

I've got colon polyps with more credibility than The Sun.

If I see the fucking phrase "... before the transfer window slams shut" one more time I'm going to kill a journo.

holy balls
