Barton's a liability. Smith, Nolan and Butt is more than enough quality in the middle for this league. Honestly, I don't agree - I think with Guthrie back + maybe 1 more, we have BETTER quality. Having enough to me means 1 or 2 crocks or red cards and we are stuck putting LuaLua and Geremi in the center and will be overrun. We lack depth all across the pitch minus GK to be honest. Its blatantaly obvious that if a takeover happens, we need to bring in 2 strikers (Loven & Beckford would do perfectly well), 1 or 2 midfielders (A CM & Winger would do for me) and with Campbell coming in that would shore up the CB needs. All IF we get the takeover...

I'd love that info from macca to be true, although I'd like to have Barton stay - I can understand why he'd go if he did, esp if Shearer was in charge. If we brought in: Simpson, Campbell, Beckford, McLoven, + 3 more that would be fantastic. I'd imagine that means we'd keep Tayls if Shearer comes aboard.

Are they counting terrible crosses that the keeper catches???

I do not believe this, not until we have seen photographic evidence. Oh lord, I can't wait foranother Marley exclusive...

Ideally, that would be brilliant. I'm literally crossing my fingers that Taylor someone will come out and deny that theres any move to Everton.

Haha, that smoking gun celebration those bums created during the Robson days, haha - classic. I thought the same as well. I had a good laugh at that.

perhaps a sigh of releif and a bit of tears that we FINALLY PLAYED WELL? clutching at the largest of straws here.

100%

Yep. bring them on.

He said "well done" to Ashley, then something else that Ashley laughed off...

Worried about Joey Barton's injury.

nolan chasing ball, jonas taking shots - what the hell am i watching here!?

absolutely briliant effort, workrate and teamwork. I havent seen that in YEARS from our lot.

Ain't that hte truth! Ack, fixed, sorry!

Ameobinho is the only player that makes me laugh when he's got the ball at his feet or is making a run, guy is a comedic genius.

Ameobinho - he seriously cracks me up, he scores the goal and his confidence sky rockets and hes trying to beat blokes to the by-line. Jonas playing extremly well, wow.

I've really lost my love for the game over the course of 2 years. The influx of all this money has ruined the premier league, ruined hopes. When we were barnstorming the league with Sir Bobby, there was a genuine feeling that "Hey maybe we can do this!" and the title was up for grabs. I posted a while ago, how unattached I feel to the game in general now. My love for NUFC and every bit of pain and joy that comes with it will never die, even way out here in sunny Florida. I still have found my ways to show my support as best as I can. But like I said, the money, the fakeness, the stirring in the papers, its all finally just nearly reached a breaking point. I've found myself follwing the MLS more, trying to find some attachment to a team out here and following the USA National Team. My friends joked about how unexciting it is to play Reading today, me, somehow, in my madness - absolutely pumped to be able to watch it - I guess I'm just thankful there are mediums for me to get access to follow. I agreee with what alot has been said up here. Roman Abrom has ruined the Premier League, and I'll stand by that. I don't know when or if it will ever be the same.

Hah, you see what this is driving all of us to man? We are going mental. Re-reading waht I wrote earlier, I'm even face-palming my own posts.

If Tayls goes, can he go mental and beat the crap out of Llambas and Ashley please?

If he does it the way I think he could... He's selling every player with value and then selling the club to Shepherd, Shepherd will then have a skint squad full of youth players and Geremi. Shepherd will then have to pump more money in to bring in players in January to save us from going under again. Its so plausible, think about it. Based on everything you've seen since his time here, could that not be the most plausible thing? In Ashley's stupid mind, he is probably thinking "You left me a club in debt, now you'll get it back, but a debt in the form of a lack of players, good luck" http://themallorca.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/freddy_shepherd.jpg If he does sell the club to FFS, I hope Shep comes in with a cricket bat and beats JFK senseless, with that stone cold smirky ugly mug of his.

Man, that day we had Shearer as boss, and even after relegation, I thought well - we have our Shearer, he will help us climb out of this. Gosh, Mike Ashley, Keith Harris, and Llambas and co have really ptu a dagger in our hearts.

Ashley sees our youth team performing well and assumes they are better than the Championship, so he sells all of our senior players thinking that the championshop sides are no better than youth/reserve teams from the premership. I finally get it....

My excitement for this match has no turned to utter worry. - Takeover obv. not happening - DOL "no longer in contention" awesome, but that means Kinnear. - KINNEAR. - Tayls may be sold - KINNEAR.

Obv not. His Doctor who said "you can manage in 3-4 months" is obv. a Mackem, its clear to see that his doc has it in for us.

I agree - but im afriad that he'll be announced today. That possibility has my sick to my stomach.
