Ah, balls. Fair enough, there'll be no purples. We're going down.

Despite the fact its pretty obvious he and Cisse don't work? Great player but if the partnership didn't work well before why all of a sudden would it work now? So you'd honestly at this stage turn down Demba Ba? Yup. He's history. /copyright Ozzy

Balls! Think we're in for a surprisingly good season if we can get in two purples.

No thanks. Yer'll gets what yer given.

Weight loss, my arse. His knee has three chins.

Getting ahead of yourself a bit there fella. We haven't pulled out. We are 'set to' pull out.

Bobby Cowell 327 I reckon. Frank got one in the League Cup. I'll get me anorak. Ah, bugger, so he did (19 League Cup appearances, 1 goal). Fair play. Still take out the fecking League Cup, and no goals in 437 League, FA Cup, and Euro games is still pretty impressive.

Welcome to the club. Hope he makes it.

If that was the case, Perch wouldn't have gone unless we'd actually paid for and signed Kone? So what you're saying is... WE'VE SIGNED KONE!!

Frank Clark has to be pretty high up there. Whey, higher than Smith and Williamson at least.

Exactly.

Football, like fashion, is cyclical. If we did sign Bent, in many ways, we'd be style pioneers.

Why? Pardew's already far enough out of his comfort zone IMO. Just like most people prefer the mystery box. Unknown quantities are always potentially more exciting than multi clubbed English players. (the 'barely seen' was supposed to hint at that line being a bit tongue in cheek tbf)

Would be surprised if we spent much on getting Bent, but could work out well if we get him. Would prefer a player I've barely seen from overseas who hasn't played for the mackums though obviously.

Yup, fail to see the reason for much anguish. If he's not replaced I suspect Anita may play a larger role and we'll get to see whether the younger lads like Bigi can step up this time, rather than last seasons aborted experiment. Good luck Perch. You'll get a warm reception if we see you back one day.

Yes. For either failing to be able to stump up financially, or failing to get us into a position where we're an attractive proposition for him as a player. Tbh we could offer what we want and sell the club as much as we want, but Borussia are simply more attractive. It's if we've got no alternative that's the problem. Oh absolutely, but my point was that it's the clubs fault to some degree that as things stand we are indeed seen as considerably less atractive.

If we're going down the Phoenix Nights route, here's Kinnears interview in full. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=5k7wlSHXdv8

The blue is a delicious throwback to the days of yore, and goes to show that you can indeed evoke the magpies spirit via the medium of premium polyester. Must feel it before I commit, but if it my skin responds to it's touch, I hope to god they cannot restrict the number I can buy in a single transaction.

It's almost as if you always manage to be behind whatever Ashley's up to at any given time, without ever going to the trouble of criticising any past decisions in any detail. Is Mr Mort your dad or summink? I think you'll find the times people feel the need to look at it from the other side (which apparently grinds your gears something rotten) is precisely because someone hasn't gone to the trouble of criticising past decisions in any detail beyond 'he's a nonsensical cnut'. Oh, and I'm proper loving his latest stunt by the way. Totally behind it. I just find the comment strange, how come you weren't crying out for a Director of Football when the lawyer was in charge, or when the casino owner was in charge? Err, probably because (outside of the rare occasion a manager actually wants one like AVB at the spuds) I'd never normally cry out for a director of football. If we must have one, then I'd rather even Joe 'fackin' Kinnear over someone who has practically no involvement in actual football.
