How does it look like Oliver was right?

I see a few of the papers today are saying Pompey are trying to offload Nugent.

Hope Boro don't buy Alves with the money.

God I hate people wrongly editing Wikipedia. What a f****** cock, whoever's done that. what did it say... or is this a joke i'm not getting I've fixed it.

Only way he'll be ready to play is game time. As long as he doesn't crock himself again, an hour or so will do him the world of good. And if he does crock himself, well he would have done it anyway, let's face it.

No, you shut up!

Why is that a concern while he's the owner? Who's suggested "figures like 5 years"? quoted as saying he has a 5 year plan for the club.. in which we'll be in the champs league. That said, i have no reason not to trust him Link? Took me ages because it's old as f*ck but heres an extract from an article: "Ashley is also expected to talk about his plans and ambitions for the club once he has reached the 90% ownership target. Initial suggestions were that he wanted the Magpies to be able to win the Premiership League Title within three years and be competing for the European Champions League within five years. That is a very aggressive plan to say the least" heres the link if you want it. http://nufcblog.com/mike-ashley-gets-closer-to-taking-newcastle-united-private/ It's on nufcblog, it might as well be written in stone as far as I'm concerned. 100% nailed on. knew somebody would have a dig.. he asked for a link and thats the only place i could find it... there were some direct quotes from the big man's representatives, but since its been ages the story's problaby long gone. Not questioning his intentions.. just responding That's the thing, I don't believe there were. "A club insider" or "a source close to Ashley" is not enough. If these people don't have names, they probably don't exist. Unless Chris Mort has said it, I'll take with a huge pinch of salt.

It's great for us to not be the ones fucking things up at this stage of the season. The way Spurs have handled this is shocking. Two games ffs.

Have you met kingdawson?

In a "do you trust your lass to stay faithful"? kind of way, in light of all these stories about others interested in buying the club. Quite a vague poll I know and a daft one but on sheer instinct, does anyone trust him? Your analogy is ever so slightly flawed btw. If I had a lass, I'd probably have met her. However, if I'd never met her or heard her speak, had only ever seen two pictures of her and then I heard she was sleeping round with Icelandic businessmen, I might be slightly sceptical about the relationship.

Quite a vague poll I know and a daft one but on sheer instinct, does anyone trust him? Well, do you mean "do I trust him to put a solid amount of money into the club and into transfers?" or "do I trust him not to sell SJP and turn it into a huge Sports World, while taking the club into the Conference?" I've no reason to think Ashley or Chris Mort has anything other than the club's best intentions at heart, there's my answer.

We'd be fucked in January.

Trust him in what sense?

Not just that but the mackems had a nailed on penalty turned down.

Will they leave 39 seats free in the away end too? Didn't think so.

Agreed. He's gone a bit 'Spurs' with all the cash he's been given.

Yep.

Isn't Oliver supposed to use his articles to pour scorn on what the nationals have written and tell just how wide of that mark they are? Oh that's right, not when it might unsettle Obafemi Martins. Oba should go round and egg his house.

I don't speak Icelandic, but as I speak Faroese I can make a hint of what it's saying, at least I can decipher the first paragraph - it says that Pálmi Haraldsson confirms to the newspaper "Visir" that they do not wish to buy NUFC. Yeah that seems to be the gist of it from the shitty internet translation I got. Says they're not going to "snuggle up" to NUFC.

Styles is a card happy arsehole though, regardless of Sunday. He's always been the same, another ref who thinks the crowd come to watch him.

I think he's been spot on.

The papers are pretty much rewording what the Icelandic reports have already said. One good thing about the rags over here picking it up is that hopefully NUFC will come out with some sort of rebuttal as they did over the Chinese reports. That's if there's no truth of course, which I hope and pray is the case.
