it's too bad that he never took my suggestion a few years ago that his people should buy newcastle united. but he made some disparaging remarks about the weather & it being a factor.

no this is him: http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/13952293.AFC_Bournemouth__Could_Jay_Coppoletta_be_one_of_Cherries__new_investors_/ his wife & mine are friends & our kids go to the same school, which is where i saw him yesterday. he knows i'm a big newcastle fan & asked me how eager i was to get rid of MA. i told him my strong feelings & he said that the people he knows weren't that convinced by amanda stavely & that she was more interested in the attention... he did think that Ashley wants to sell & would probably take less than 300, maybe 250...

so, has anyone heard that amanda stavely simply didn't have the money? i heard this last night from casual, but credible friend who might be in a position to know something.

I agree on the politician thing. I know 'its only football' but he's the kind of wilfully brazen fatcat who thinks nothing of shitting on the little fella to make a fast buck. Up there with the rest of them. If only our political representatives didn't spend their time encouraging the kind of behaviour. i think it's because MA has a far more directly perceptible effect on my day-to-day happiness. i can shake my fist at/about my mayor/gov/prez, but, really i expect them to lie & be greedy and that is what it is: steadily depressing. Fat Assley on the other hand ruins almost all of any joy i take from football: he's the reason we're shite & can't compete & lose. And even when we win i know it really only helps him.

i simply just don't get the man. he's SO disagreeable & must suffer from some kind of inferiority complex. He could've been an absolute over-the-top, bar none legend in Newcastle AND still made money, but has chosen, what? pettiness & spite just to start the list. I detest him more than any politician in my country. may his fortune crumble, his relationships fail & karma blast him into submission!

Think this nailed it. https://www.themag.co.uk/2018/01/mike-ashley-logic-empty-bank-account-wont-spending-january-newcastle-united/ "rather than allowing the club to spend what it earns to survive, the club is being forced to hold in reserve enough to finance a season in the championship. Only funds available after that can be invested in the squad." am not sure how to interpret this bit from the article. is it smart planning ahead, or bitter behavior from a man who's had his fingers burned? or...what?

apropos of nothing, i still get furious when i think about that De Jong tackle on wor Hatem. the 'what if' scenarios i conjure up are, well... you know.

love that What's he saying before this part? --> "I'm not sayin' it's goin' ta be better on the whole"

is it a catch-22 that we're in? i.e. we won't be bought unless we avoid relegation/ but if we avoid relegation MA won't sell? this thoroughly confuses me anyway, i still have hope!

how did Woodman do overall?

Ritchie to get his first today

out with a thigh injury?

Merry Christmas to all & a very Happy New Year!

Gone but not forgotten. RIP you legend!

Nothing to do with luck when you've a yard on the 18 yard line and you don't hit the target, as happened on Saturday. And I'll not even mention his performance against Stoke. yeah, fair enough. am not trying to defend him--more a comment of the 'it's a funny old game variety'. He's like the anti-Sibierski

how should i frame it, dirtiest players in football by position (so, a first 11 of the dirtiest), 10 dirtiest full stop? help a brothuh out, Kaizero!

seems like he literally inches from being decent. how many times has he hit the woodwork or missed putting the ball just inside it? not saying he's talented, but with slightly better luck he'd have quite a few more goals and this thread would be different.
