I don't think anyone is fine with the prospect of the stadium changing names but I do think an awful lot of fans would accept the sacrifice if it meant major investment in the squad. Ideally this cash would come in without the need to change the name but it seems inevitable really. I'll still call it SJP regardless of the name change anyway. Thats exactly it. How many called it by what the name was changed to last time which I can't even remember the proper format of it. Everyone carried on and called it what we always had, not even out of principle. This is just not true. Media outlets outright refused to call it SJP. A stadium name doesn't have to be used in the press very long before the previous name ceases to exist. I meant people on the street, mates in pubs etc. I listen to very little punditry crap that I wouldn't know if they used it or not so aren't bothered what they do. Not sure what your mates call it is really what's at stake tbh. That's when I hear it most and thats what matters most to me, what we the fans call it as opposed to someone sitting in a studio that I don't listen to. Kids across the country and the world don't listen to your mates. In twenty years time, St James' Park is lost to history.

Could say that about anything Ashley's done. If he changed the kit, the badge and the club name, the stadium would be full by the weekend. Agree with George Bailey from earlier that the name and colours are the lines in the sand (I've been through plenty of badge changes). My mate in the pub will still wear a black and white scarf so I don't care about the colours.

Why is Gary Speed on the Entertainers one? -
The best PFM moaning I've heard about this was somebody, can't remember who, last season complaining that the clubs at the top of the Championship were mainly foreign managed and why weren't English managers being given these roles, as if David Wagner getting the Huddersfield gig had been an example of Johnny Foreigner getting a big job ahead of Joe Bloggs, rather than them coming in and dragging a small club into the top flight on merit.

Equalise 90+4 for their first point of the season then lose 90+5.

Soccer Saturday say "better the devil you know", Mike Ashley's done pretty well up there.

For anyone with Sky but not Sky Sports, this game's on SS Mix (channel 121).

Wonder how many people there are left on here that even get that joke. I'm sure there is quite a range!

I'm sticking with BTTS in the first half on this offer until it wins. Got a decent chance tonight I reckon, odds reflect that like. I'm not bothering with correct scores anymore since cash-out is unavailable. Fucking giddy up, get in. Elsewhere I need 1 for Napoli (thanks Mertens) and 1 more goal in Madrid to win a double and 2 Dortmund goals to win an 8-fold. What a bloody shambles. Can't frigging believe there wasn't a third in Madrid. BTTS in the first half was 5/2 so £60 odd back.

He's full of shit. If I wanted to get the truth of what went on at NUFC I'd read John Hartson's book like everyone else.

What odds are your £1 accumulators typically?
-
I'm absolutely terrible for it. I make most of my losses when I'm watching a game at about 75 minutes and go for another goal or a couple of corners at evens or better, then when that loses, try and do the same on another game. Absolute stupidity more often than not.
-
£25 as usual for me.

Verona just scored a lovely goal, very similar to Shearer vs Villa.
-
Aye, this. Believe it when I see it. If and it's obviously a big if, but if a buyer comes in who will invest, give a shit and get NUFC striving to be the best it can be, would you get back into it, Wullie? Certainly hope so. I'd 100% be going back and hope to move on from there away from the not really giving a toss stage I've been at for years.
