Does 'Nicko' still spend all his spare time stringing along those Blackburn fans with his utter bullshit?

Even three years ago the idea of Bournemouth or Huddersfield breaking our transfer record would have been utterly absurd. Bournemouth have spent eight seasons above the third tier in their entire history ffs.

I love this. Even if it was just The Chronicle airbrushing out his logos in their photos it would be a start. I sent an email to the editor years ago pleading with them to do this while they were banned, never got a reply.

Rattled.

Can't be doing with that Alex after the slagging him and his mates on there gave to the Sack Pardew business. Not interested in a word he says.

You cannot criticise people for going to the match - everyone has their reasons for going, some taking their kids, some it's a form of escape (good or bad) from daily life, others (like the guy I sit next to) have been going since the 70s - it's in his DNA to go. I honestly don't believe he would care if attendance figure dropped as the TV is that much these days. What I think he would/does care about is bad publicity - he even dragged himself in from of a House of Commons committee to defend himself. We need coordinated protests - in numbers - like Liverpool fans did. It needs to make the national press - not the likes of the Chronicle for him to care. And it needs to be constant until he's gone. And stop shopping at SD in Northumberland street. All I stated was a fact. Ashley is laughing at you, and everyone who turns up. He definitely bought the right club. German fans will boycott games if they put €5 on the ticket prices, we've had the absolute piss taken for more than ten years and the place is still packed. That man thinking "What mugs this lot are, I take a shit on their lawn and they pay me for the privilege" should be more than enough reason to walk.

Ronaldo's gaff must be like a fucking ball pool.

Depends what competition, English football doesn't use multi-ball so it's generally the same ball unless something happens to it. Obviously I know the above post is about the World Cup.

Dunno what sort of team Marseille have put out but they're getting absolutely smashed at Bournemouth. Currently 5-0.

Meanwhile Ashley's laughing his cock off at you. Money for nothing. He does what the fuck he likes, even when it deliberately makes the team worse, and you keep piling cash in his pocket for it.

"A decent team against Braga" - 100% of the outfield made up of players from the Championship two years ago.

Keegan had it in his contract, came out in the court case. Think every manager has had it. He doesn't want an asset walking away.

Because he'll owe them a significant amount of money if he breaks the contract. Only reason.

The mind boggles at how little self respect those who still put their money towards this must have. I know there's loads of you on here but please, for fuck's sake, STOP.

Aye there's a thread on here along the lines of "who's this fucking no-hoper we're after from Arab Contractors SC ffs?"

The assumption as always with these things is that the player would have been as good under the tutelage of the brains at NUFC as they were elsewhere. I don't really remember us being seriously in for Griezmann but if we'd signed him from Sociedad, he'd probably have made a few sub appearances, looked a bit lightweight, gone down as a flop and ended up trying to drag his reputation back up again for Celta Vigo, at considerable financial loss to NUFC. Meanwhile Remy Cabella went to Atleti instead and just scored 3 goals at the World Cup while we rue missing out on him.

It'll be creative accounting. Italian clubs are always at it and Milan are ran by a group of shysters n all. I thought Milan were supposed to be on the bones of their arse financially? Didn't realise Bonucci was going back the other way.

Jesus wept “When I sacked Julen I immediately called Hierro and told him I didn’t want to make any changes. Two days later a letter arrived from Newcastle saying ‘Are you interested in our coach? He’s at your disposition.’ We said thanks but no,” Rubiales told Spanish radio station Cadena COPE on Tuesday. “We would have never done that, we couldn’t hire Benitez because it would have been acting in the same way for which we reproached Julen.”

Depends what you mean by purpose. If someone feels some innate desire to say write, explore, make art etc how do you know that is not something deeply within them that they simply have to play out in this life? What reason do you have to discard that as an illusion of purpose? This is not the exchange I expected to see upon opening this thread.

Aye Sissoko ran down the wing past a couple of players in the Euros final and it genuinely added about £10m onto his fee. Very odd.

I reckon he'll score freely once he gets going fwiw.

Bloody hell.

Not really like. If we had any intention whatsoever of playing him sometime then maybe but we clearly want rid and Fulham know that. Surprised we even got £22m tbh Spurs regularly get fees like that for players they clearly don't want and don't rate. They bought Kevin Wimmer for £4m, played him 15 times in 2 seasons and sold him to Stoke for £18m. They'd negotiate an enormous fee for Mitrovic given the last six months.

Spurs/Liverpool would be getting £30m+ easy.

I posted most of those already you cretin. Almost all the extra ones you've added are nothing other than perfectly reasonable replies to a football post on a football forum, and not in fact "like a pack of wolves". God yes, I can see what you mean, sorry. Totally uncalled for. Retrospective bans for the above.
