Im ordering my ticket in the morning. However, it will be pretty pointless considering we have next to no chance of scoring now that Duff is on his way. Best we can hope for is a pen and Barton on the pitch.

Thinking exactly the same. It makes me sick to the stomach what they have put the club and its fans through this summer, and David Craig sits there in his Durham office arselicking them.

He wants to join them as well so I suppose he's off. No replacement I expect.

The puns below each pic are shocking.

Get away man. There's nowt in that article whatsoever. Hopefully, but there's clearly a lot of money gone on him being our next manager, considering he's now odds on (see other thread). When he was our manager I didn't hate Kinnear, it's the s**** he's come out with since that's moved me to that. I know he had a go at us fans, but does anyone have the actual quotes. I want to read them again to refresh my hatred for him. Actually, hatred is quite strong for Kinnear when the world has Mike Ashley in it.

It seems like the rumours are coming from him again. I just hope, really hope that he's spouting his usual shite.

By the way, one of our rivals were delighted with signing Paul Hartley. They would be creaming their pants if they signed Duff or Smith. We have to realise what league were in.

We can't afford to sell anyone (well maybe Geremi) until we start signing plays. Keep.

Damien Duff. :lol: Have you even watched him for the last few years in our strip? To be fair we didn't play in the Championship for the last few years.. Is he going to try harder against worse opposition or something? No he's going to be better against worse opposition, because, well... they're worse Its not difficult like Dave Not if he puts in the same pitiful effort he won't. I can't get over how split this is. It has nothing to do with effort when it comes to Duff. If anything he is one of the players who puts in the most effort. Thats not saying he's good, but in my opinion his effort isnt in question. Shearer wouldnt have been praising him at the back end of last season had Duff not been arsed. We can't afford to sell him by the way because we have no replacement. Duff would be one of the best players in this league, and looking at our pitiful squad, one of the only players I can see getting any goals. They're not going to come from our strikers or centre midfield (maybe Barton appart), thats for sure. Remember, we arent likely to sign anyone. We can't just sell everyone whilst sitting back bitter about last season. We would just be shooting ourselves in the foot.

People should even be comparing 1993 and now. Back then the gap between the leagues was tiny compared to now. We were loaning players to Premier League teams back then because they couldn't get a game for us in Division 1. Footballs changed. Go for what works now.

No, we sign players to get us promoted, then we worry about the Premier League.

Its not a sad state of affairs that he would improve our side atall. Its a sad state of affairs that we got relegated. I said at the time, we can't be arrogant in who we go for. Go for players who will get us out of this league. So fuck if he's not a 'name', if he will do a job, get him!

Ashame Beyes away. Haha

Carlisle away please.

Him that supports us has just come on for Norway.

Scotland getting ripped appart. 2-0. The Caldwells are shite.

How can nothing be happening, either we are going to be taken over or we will get a new manager. Well, he said 'no news' rather than nothing happening. Cards close to chest and all that shite.

Just said nothing is happening, but things change on a daily basis concerning Newcastle United. Mentioned how 'you have to feel sorry for Hughton'.

I agree SuperToon. I was speaking to someone yesterday and we were talking about Ashleys intentions. I'm coming round to the opinion that he never intended to sell and this has all been a smokescreen so he didn't have to spend any money. His value might have been deliberatly unrealistic to put off bidders. The only thing against this idea I can think of is that he's still been paying players and didn't sell players earlier in the window.

IF its only £10 million difference between Ashley and Moat, surely there would be someone who could stump up that to have a say at boardroom level. Obviously nobody buying wants Ashley yo be taking the piss, but 10mil ffs!

Surely he cant seriously be thinking about coming on Saturday! Its like Ashley is rubbing our noses in shit.

I like it now. Getting it after transfer deadline so I know whos staying to get a name on the back.

Wouldn't surprise me Lenny. Its well known in the media that we are all the thickest fans who only like Shearer and Keegan, whereas Spurs and Liverpool fans are 'the most knowledgable' fans in the country. Its all bollocks of course, but we love being told what we think and what we know.

Na, wouldnt know what he looked like either.

It's a joke, we're like a listed building on the verge of falling down without the neccesary repair work, with the owner wanting to hang on another year in case the price of bricks gets cheaper Couldnt have put it better.
