I don't see how one is more valid than the other when it comes down to trust, I can't really think of any reason not to trust anybody yet as I think our only known bid so far this summer was the right thing to do. Was taking the piss, nice bite though.

Great post. very well put and sums up my thoughts concisely. I'll be one of the first to criticise those that need criticising if things don't go as planned, but I'll give them as long as possible to get things sorted. At the end of the day, I do trust in not only Keegan but Ashley as well and everyone in between; they have still got a lot to prove granted but believe they've only got the club's best interests at heart and I'm sure given time we'll be in a better place. I don't trust any of them bar Keegan. What reasons have you got to think that though, Parky? On the same note you could ask me why I say I trust them... I've just seen no real reasons to doubt them as yet. I guess it's time really. Haven't seen anything in particular to make me start thinking I trust them...Although trust is a big word I guess. Your position is as valid as mine tbh. Apart from yours has more validity.

The stark reality is, until we get some players through the door we simply can't afford to sack him (from a personnell point of view not financial). That as well. I'm only bothered about my club, tbh it would be fair enough to see the guy get his legs broken in prison and not be able to play football again and we receive insurance money. But that won't be happening, were not that lucky enough. People will bleat on about damaged reputation, well the only rep in football that matters is what you do on the pitch, our poor performances over the last few years are a bigger deterrent to potential fans and players than Barton will ever have on the club, keep him or sack him. End of the day he's worth money when he leaves, we need to keep hold of that stock especially since Ashley is doing his best impression of Scrooge.

Why should the club sack him and lose £6m? Can't wait for these total cunts on the news to demand it so, great if it only effected him, but it doesn't.

His attack in full glory is on News @ 10 oin ITV in the next 20mins or so.

The club off the pitch has certainly improved greatly, perfect situation for a sale. On the pitch utter trash and little support to prove its going to turn itself around.

------------Casillas----------- Boswinga------- ------------Senna------------- --------Xavi----Sneijder----- ----------Arshavin--------- ------Torres----Villa------- Can't really think of the defence, nothing stand out apart from Boswinga's attacking ability.

Ashley will make some coin though, strip the club down to bare minimum, get it financially stable at whatever cost, run away with three years takings after he sells the thing on at a profit to some oil barren who wants a play toy, or the next lying fat shite we happen to get bum fuked off.

Talking Heads - We're on the road to nowhere. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQXsuAey-NE Well we know where were goin But we dont know where weve been And we know what were knowin But we cant say what weve seen And were not little children And we know what we want And the future is certain Give us time to work it out Were on a road to nowhere Come on inside Takin that ride to nowhere Well take that ride Im feelin okay this mornin And you know, Were on the road to paradise Here we go, here we go Chorus Maybe you wonder where you are I dont care Here is where time is on our side Take you there...take you there Were on a road to nowhere Were on a road to nowhere Were on a road to nowhere Theres a city in my mind Come along and take that ride And its all right, baby, its all right And its very far away But its growing day by day And its all right, baby, its all right They can tell you what to do But theyll make a fool of you And its all right, baby, its all right Were on a road to nowhere Don't really have to change any lyrics either.

We should have a poll on this thread with the following options: Q: Barton's Future?: A: Back B: Sack C: Crack

Yes! Shame we couldn't send Luque back as a part ex. Hopefully Sam Allarshite is the new manager and Smith becomes his 1st signing, part ex with the geezer.

Is this the geezer who plays for Mallorca, soon to be Shepherd Mallorca?

We'd be lucky to see 30 starts for Viduka in his entire NUFC career.

He was terrible. The amount of times he'd leave gaps at the back in the most basic attacks were just about comical. Going to disagree on that completely. His positioning and reading of the game were top notch as far as I'm concerned. Would love to pull up a load of YT clips to prove otherwise. I wish you could as well, apart from that nightmare against Portsmouth which everyone appears to be judging him on, his position and reading of a situation always looked bang on to me. He just wasn't up to the physical side of the English game at the end of the day. Easily a better reader of the game than the other centre halves who played there last season. What situation did he read that Stevie Wonder couldn't have last season? That article on the current state of Zimbabwe and it's foreign policy situation in The Times. We'll get the old man a desk job reading the rumour mills next season then. About all he's good for. Just thinking back at some of his clearances, jesus wept, the guy was clearly on acid.

mackems.gif mackems.gif Not all that difficult a standard to aspire to tbh. I'd rather have Bramble, at least he had one stand out quality, Cacapa failed at everything while he was here. Slow Weak Shit in the air Crap positioning Can't tackle Indecisive Inconsistent Injury prone Old Mentally weak He has nothing going for him, nothing.

And anyone who doesn't take those points into consideration and realise he's not for us is officially insane. NEXT!

For insurance purposes only, i reckon so.

Villa out, poor lad, must be gutted.

He's a dead man, simple as.
