The Independent: "These stories are absolute nonsense," said a Newcastle spokesman, "and we are growing increasingly tired of having to respond to this sort of story." Once again there was no direct response from Ashley or from his new managing director at the club, Derek Llambias, and in part their silence fuels the rumours emanating from the City of London that Ashley has let it be known that he would be a willing seller should a purchaser offer sufficient money, in this case around £400m. mackems.gif So it actually has to be Ashley himself, in person, that comes out and denies these "rumours" (i.e. fabricated bollocks). Perhaps he should do a gig at St James' or write a book to get his point across?

Go to bed and sleep off the shandy ffs.

Love how Pompey were supposedly willing to pay £8m but getting him for peanuts is bad business. I'd never heard of Dimitar Berbatov, Pascal Chimbonda, Morten Gamst Pedersen, Habib Beye, Kolo Toure, Robin van Persie, Eduardo da Silva, Luis Nani... I could do this all night. But he was cheap (for reasons that were fuck all to do with his actual value) so he must be shit. Oh and he's also shit because he's only the right winger from a club who have finished 7th in one of Europe's best two leagues - I reckon we should go after Bentley instead.

Harper miskicked at White Hart Lane, straight to Defoe who was in on goal and scored, I was there, shit game. I think after his slip at Anfield, Harper conceded a header in a cup tie at the Leazes End, just a consolation but a header that went straight at him but slipped from his grasp and under his legs, I think that might be what lovejoy's thinking of. However, the only time Harper's made ricks has been in the two or three games after coming back into the side - when he's had a run, he's generally been very solid. You can't blame a guy for being rusty, there's no replacement for match practice. Why some Newcastle fans have something against him is totally beyond me. We have been spoiled with Shay though - error wise, there are not many keepers in Premiership history that have made less ricks than Shay - goals where you can clearly say "that was the keeper's fault", which makes the last season or two look worse for Shay because he's probably made more in that time than his entire career.

Apart from anything else, he's not and has never been the chairman. Clueless.

Any word on these?

This is the problem, to your average man on the street who's not an internet geek like us lot who see so much media bullshit, this is real news and really does unsettle the club by creating distrust between fans and board.

This non-story is actually on the front page. Dear me.

James might write shite but at least he doesn't put it to music and call it art.

Does anyone want to buy my nissan micra? I can't wait to get shot of it, i'll take 35 grand just to get it off my hands. Anyone?

That from Verlaine's best mate again?

26 is not that young.

I hate this 'time logged in' thing. At least with my post count, I can change it to make me look like less of a sad bastard.

Disagree. He was great as the lone striker, holding the ball up really well and a real goal threath. Looks really strong, yet blessed with good functional technique. With clubs like Barcelona interested I can't see him coming to us however.. Misses too many chances. Only looked good because of Russian creativity. Michael Owen would have looked like Pele in that team. For once we agree. He missed a load of simple chances.

I think this bloke is the most overhyped from the Euros. Not convinced myself.

NUFC Blog is the worst site the internet has produced.

I thought little clarence was class. I've got his autograph inside the front cover of a dilbert book somewhere.

How the hell did you both come across that article?

Was Keegan misquoted and he actually said: "South Americans and nothing but. They're the boys for us."?

A keeper. Hmm...

I hope we do have to pay full whack for him. a) it means he's better and b) James is boring the tits off me with this Webster shite.
