Meeting tonight to open initial sale talks Selling the club to KBA

Enrique in goal

She has but Ashley will hide behind the fact that Labour aren’t in power. I would like to see Chi invite Jeremy Wright, now that would truly rattle him.

Can we please stop chasing HTT around the forum for daring to write more than four sentences. It’s getting quite pathetic, borderline bullying really, its not constructive at all and shows who the real idiots are. This forum is to give people a voice, HTT loves to write, its his voice, his opinion, that’s great. By all means say if you disagree but otherwise if you don’t want to read it don’t read it and scroll through and shut up. We need to stand together. Let’s embrace all fan’s voices, not try to silence them!

Ashley aside our opening fixtures were terrible and it was disappointing and possibly corrupt that the Premier League let that happen. So it’s 95% Ashley, 5% Premier League, Benitez blameless

Can see it now. Tenant urgently needs replacement boiler. £1000 a bit to expensive. Buys a mini fridge from Argos instead

BBC say he’s been accused of trying to collapse Debenhams by blocking asset disposals. Is there any point where the U.K. government can strip him of all his assets?

2 pages!

They’ve bankrupted several pro cyclists over the years.

Struggling to elaborate on what I mean but I think long posts are good for both the poster and the reader as they can both sharpen the mind and open more ideas. A demonstrably more intelligent fan base who can elaborate on their thoughts, properly debate and agree to disagree is a positive thing really, it gives us more Caulkin’s and these are the type of fans we need right now who can discuss issues in a positive and thoughtful way and not get stuck in the mud. I’d quite like to see a new highly moderated thread called ‘The NUFC Debate’ or something similar, all posts must be a minimum of five full lines (PC format) no personal attacks, no going off topic, respecting others opinions but still being allowed to disagree if you have different ideas or different evidence. I think such a thread would be a slow burner and a bit marmite but done right it could really strengthen the wider debate over the club, and allow fans to find a voice.

What does not PL standard even mean? There are so many ways that we could define that

thats amazing Shame about the rogue apostrophe F'u'c'k' o'f'f' Don't know what you mean . . . . http://i66.tinypic.com/2r2y5xt.jpg Needs Mike Williamson dressed as a ninja trying to sneak in somehow

No club can survive without its fans ... 75% of the clubs in the prem can. BBC reported it the other day. It's all down to the TV deals. I think if even where we got to the point of all the fans vs Ashley, so long as he keeps hold of that PL ticket I think he’d be happy to move the club to Shirebrook if things ever got that far and he had enough of us

He’s making millions of pounds to play football, his partner doesn’t have to work ever, he can even hire a whole army of nannys and servants to look after the whole family. Or else just use a f***ing condom the babies can likely come in his mid-30s once he’s set for life. It’s a poor excuse. It doesn’t matter how much money a person is making, if they’re a good father he’ll want to be close to the kid. This includes waking up numerous times during the night.. Newcastle is just a job to these players. Work will always come off second best to a newborn. But we mere mortals do think about our career when planning a family. My work comes second to my kid but I made damn sure that I had progressed up the career ladder in my 20s to the point where I now in my 30s I had all the necessary promotions so that I could work my job doing flexible hours etc so that my work life balance was not adversely affected. Kenedy is still very young. This year is his big chance to cement his position as a credible Premier League player and create opportunities to either get a new Chelsea contract or go elsewhere either way doubling his salary and creating better opportunities to be successful. At this moment (well 40 weeks before) he decides to have a baby. It’s pure stupidity.

He’s making millions of pounds to play football, his partner doesn’t have to work ever, he can even hire a whole army of nannys and servants to look after the whole family. Or else just use a fucking condom the babies can likely come in his mid-30s once he’s set for life. It’s a poor excuse.

Regardless of the agreeable reasons for Rafa not signing a new contract, any sensible well run club would have contingency for a worrying dip in form, in this case money unspent in case an early pay off is needed, and transfer budgets set aside until January. Looking at it from a PR perspective as I’m sure Ashley will be speaking to Bishop, the best moment to give Rafa the boot is within the next three weeks. Personally I think Allardyce or another KBA associated shithouse manager being in place for Palace on 22nd September is now a very real possibility

Yep. The next manager will be chosen by Keith Bishop. It could be Allardyce. It could even be another one of his associates like Souness. It will be a train wreck and the opportunity to unite unanimously against Ashley will be gone.

He's not helping himself playing centre backs at left back with Sterry on the other side. Good luck trying to play football with them bringing the ball out. We've got some fucking horrendous footballers in those positions. Who the fuck else was he supposed to play at full-back? Yedlin and Dummett absolutely cannot be risked, as evidenced by the backup brigade on show tonight (and at Cardiff). Aye, I suppose we need to keep them fresh so we can wheel them out for the hammering against City on Saturday. I think I'd rather have won today tbh. Resting players for a game we are gonna get beat in anyway and for the big relegation battle and we aren't even out of August. No aim other than to exist in the pl and then we get 11 years of wank and knocked out on purpose runt he cups. That's rafas hat trick now oxford and forest twice. Shite Remember the slaughtering Pardew and the rest of the shite used to get? Genuine question, do you think it is best for the club to get Rafa Out or get Ashley Out if you had to choose. Because if you say Ashley you are undermining your own point of view by focusing your ire on Rafa. Getting Ashley out needs to be the utmost priority. We can worry about Rafa if still underperforming under new ownership (in the unlikely event that we even get that far)

It’s the same old story whoever the manager is, if the board/club owners do not back the manager then the players will eventually stop playing.

Two seasons with Robson and I think he would have been a much better player. While he’s done pretty well I think he wasted his early years at us and Villa.

Him and Cahill haven’t retired outright they have made clear they are available for selection in the event of say Kane and Rashford missing a qualifier due to injury. The door is open

Anyone remember when we played for a point against hapless Derby Coonty?

Well regardless of no ban we have Forest and Chelsea next. Play fairly well and Murphy or Atsu will be entitled to command his place in the team for the coming weeks and Kenedy will have to fight for his spot back.

I’ve calmed down a bit now but this was without a doubt one of the all time bad performances in the Premier League. A game statistically that bad is extremely rare so you can see why this was justified.

This club has lost all self respect if Kenedy and Hayden are allowed to ever play again
