In the discussion of footballing mentality I would think the nations N. Ireland, Ireland, Scotland and Wales would fall under the umbrella of "domestic" while Spain, Italy, France, Netherlands, Portugal et al, would be "foreign". Granted there's differences on the various "domestic" nations, but as a whole they're remarkably similar when compared to the "foreign" tag. But then I'm treating the argument as an approach to football or footballing mentality and not birthplace so ...

Then he pulls a Doug Ellis and haunts SJP through cycles of promotion and relegation for 30 years, skulking about in the shadows, wearing half a mask and playing organ music at night.

No I meant increasing his "pain" in hanging on a bit - nothing violent but affecting SD sales as a fair alternative. Right but it's complete speculation as to how much he's selling at. 300m? 200m? 450m? All figures that have been reported and probably the truth is in there somewhere, but why take action given such incomplete information? Put another way, if no buyer is found could a group be so certain that it was the asking price -- barring of course something like quotes from a sheik.

Mike Ashley's not daft. He doesn't want to be here anymore, and if he can't sell at the price he's quoting, he'll lower it himself. Protesting and boycoutts won't affect that decision. How would it even go? "Mike, the supporters group got together and we've decided the £475m figure in all the papers is way too high and you should lower it."

Whatever keeps butt out of the middle of the park tbh.

GET IN!!! THE MIGHTY WEST BROM TOPPLED

"impression of a stumbling bambi"

it'll be repeated as FACT on here in another couple of months, just watch.

Don't be an idiot.

Because every phone call, letter or thing shouted at him isn't documented with a wikipedia entry it must not have happened right? I'm inclined to believe he really did receive serious threats that people on here have no idea about, given his sudden and complete willingness to abandon the club he'd bought and system he'd set up. There's no way to take that lightly. You can't.

I've got a peaceful, easy feeling and I know they won't let me down. 3-0 to the toon.

Days of? Never occured to me it was that big a fad or that more than a handful at a time ever had one.

Well 10 pages later are we confident that Mike Ashley is indeed happy with the way things have turned out?

No.

I'll go on record as saying Shearer will be Souness v2.0 were he to come straight into the Newcastle job. Absolutely, without a doubt in my mind, should not be him.

Someone will try it again and they might get it right. We sure as fuck didn't. Spurs looked to at the beginning with 5th and 5th under Jol with one but it went up shit creek when Arnesen and Jol were replaced by lesser counterparts. Parkys bolded bit sum up what I was going to put in the rest of this post.

It's amazing how many things we have to straighten at this club. It's disheartening to know that all that will have to wait until we're eventually bought, and even then, piecemeal.

This team would walk over some of the ones Souness put out.

Well, there's my cue to leave. Enjoy the next 98 pages folks.

Ultimately made to look like a bit of a dick, then. What's the point in doing that, really? Incenses a little cluster of opposition fans. More of a personal battle than anything, that. I know, he's not done anything atrocious - but just, what's the point? made to look like a bit of dick? how? He put on more effort in his 15 minutes than 8 of his 10 teammates had all game. Or did he kiss the badge and say "I'll get a brace for my beloved Newcastle"? I'm not understanding how it made him look foolish at all. If it riled up the crowd so what? I'm leaning towards netural on the whole thing but if I had to pick a feeling about it I'd be happy he pissed some of them off.

Duff seemed to pop up about once every 10 minutes, demand a pass, proceed to give it away and then disappear again.

The Enrique sub was the worst one I've seen in months Agreed. Either Xisco for Ameobi or Zog for Duff.

Even if I knew this thread was a bump I wouldn't have been surprised to see 6 pages of it after the final whistle Quite agree btw.
