hope they're filthy rich.. because we're gonna need it..

Damien Duff. You fucking retard. PASS THE BALL!
-
DIC to make an improved bid.
Just a pure guess, but i think they will.
-
Given
Geremi Taylor Colo Bassong
Duff Butt Owen Zogbia
Martins Xisco
4-4-2 with a diamond. Maybe a bit offensively but we have to play the best available players...
i'd go with that. good line up

Tell My Familiy that i love them, Im About to commit sucide in about 2 minutes.
Oh dear......absolutely no need mate!
I feel about the same way. Never been so thrilled about a season to start since fuck knows. And now all that excitement is gone thanks to KK leaving. (Not confirmed yet, but still..)
-
wasnt there a spanish manager, someone from mallorca or something thatwe supposedly had been in contact with in march or something?
-
what happend to that russian leftback, zhirkov or something?
-
mates texted me saying hes spotted arshavin outside my house!!!!!!
what the hell is he doing there? call the police!
-
tbh if we really sold Barton without a replacement lineup TODAY it will be a even worse transfer than Milner. We simply don't have enough central midfielder.
this.
-
but if we're letting barton go then surely we must have a replacement lined up?
-
could malouda be the possible replacement for Smith?
In the same way that a ferrari could be a replacement for a skoda, yes.
-
i'll be very surprised if owen is still here come 12 tonight
I'd be very suprised if he is not. Who offers a player 120k a week and sells him the next day?
As well as that KK was asked directly about Owen to which he replied "Arsenal will not be Owens last game for us".
However, things do change.
Or maybe our offer is just to show fans we "want him to stay" but we know he wants to leave?

ELTSACWEN // Sep 1, 2008 at 12:56jimmy briand is flyining to newcastle for medical
fee agreed
now thats a wow signing for me. Great player!

could malouda be the possible replacement for Smith?

Owen to Citeh for £10m+ , Smith to Everton for £3m and Ameobi to anyone for anything over £1m would some great sales to come through today.
Sack Viduka & Butt next year and sell Duff & Barton and we've nearly got rid of all the players holding us back in terms of age, personality, quality or wages.
Owen to City
Smith to Everton
Berbatov to Newcastle
Arshavin to Spurs
nailed on.
I'd take that, oh yes.
Everton would be the only losers in that sort of deal IMO. 
-
Mate in France reckons it's been reported we're in for Sidney Govou
that could be a good signing, could play wide out right or as a striker. Good player.

1125: According to the ever-reliable Wikipedia, Patrick Vieira has rejoined Arsenal!
Would be a huge story if it was true but somehow I can't see it.
he was sitting next to mikel silvestre in the audience when we played them.
AUDIENCE? I know our performance was a joke but its not the Royal Variety Performance you know. Its crowds in football!
..och det heter publik på svenska, publik rakt översatt blir audience, vilket jag då använde. Men du har säkert helt rätt. ...
..oh, sorry, you don't speak swedish, my mistake.
Sorry if my english isnt up to standards.
JAG be om ursäkt. JAG gjorde icke realisera så pass Engelsk slog inte din första språk.
Haha, good job there, mate. Apology accepted.
No problems. Remember that for the future football = crowds.
Will do!

http://www.nufcblog.com/2008/09/28/newcastle-news/south-afriucan-consortium-could-be-richemont/
One of our South African readers today has commented on the story of the buyout of a South African consortium, and they believe they know who the consortium is.
Johann Rupert - Anton’s son now runs Richemont
One of our readers, based in South Africa - Boktoon - has commented:
“I have lived in Johannesburg for last 15 years - I think this SA company could be Richemont - seems to fit the company business model.”
“They revamp brands and London based Johann Rupert is the head of the Rupert family and is worth $3.3B.”
In today’s exchange rate that makes Johann Rupert worth around £1.79B.
The Rupert family is a well-known billionaire family from Stellenbosch, South Africa, and we list some information on them in this article, but bottom line is they look like a very well founded and good family, and have already done a lot of philanthropy work in their time.
Maybe it’s time to do some of that work for Newcastle United.
From what we can tell, they would be terrific owners of the Newcastle United club - so we are now hoping this story is true, but yes it’s the NOTW we know.
Here’s some background on the Rupert family:
Anton Rupert (4 October 1916 – 18 January 2006) founded the family businesses. He and his wife Huberte Rupert (– 28 October 2005) moved to a home in Thibault Street on the northern banks of the Eerste River in the 1950s. Anton and Huberte had three children: Johann, Antonij and Hanneli. The boys attended Paul Roos Gymnasium, while Hanneli went to Bloemhof Girl’s High.
Anton and Huberte were considered philanthropists, supporting a number of projects for the preservation of the arts. The Rupert family is listed on the Forbes list of the 500 wealthiest worldwide, with a net worth of $3.3B..
Here is a short bio on Johann Rupert, Executive Chairman, South African, age 57
Mr Rupert was appointed to the Board in 1988 and has served as Executive Chairman of Compagnie Financière Richemont SA since 2002. He is Chairman of the Nominations Committee and of the Strategic Product and Communication Committee.
Mr Rupert studied economics and company law at the University of Stellenbosch, South Africa and has had an extensive career in international business, banking and finance. After working for the Chase Manhattan Bank and Lazard Frères in New York he founded Rand Merchant Bank in 1979.
In 1985 he joined the Rembrandt Group. Three years later he founded Richemont and became Group Chief Executive. Appointed as Executive Chairman in September 2002, he served as Group Chief Executive Officer during the period from October 2003 to September 2004. He is Non-Executive Chairman of Remgro Limited and of VenFin Limited and the Managing Partner of Compagnie Financière Rupert.
The University of Stellenbosch awarded him an honorary doctorate in Economics in 2004. In 2006 he was appointed as Chairman of the Peace Parks Foundation. He has been a Trustee of the Nelson Mandela Children’s Foundation since its inception.
