Honestly would have preferred the mackems to win.

I was just sitting there thinking "Arsenal will score here, 100% certain" lucky pricks ::

Arsenal losing again

Less fans IMO, they'd have upgraded capacity or moved to a new stadium by now if they had a huge waiting list of fans wanting season tickets.

The likes of the Spuds already flees there fans with crazy ticket prices (that's how they manage similar revenues to us despite less fans), so there's no real potential there.

People said that when Ashley brought him back tbh. So then it just comes down to wether the South Africans actually do what they say they'll do (if they take over), something I don't believe Ashley did.

So now those two are out we're left with a few blokes with very little wealth combined compared to other club owners. Add to that some bloke who's already been fucked off by Harry Redknapp when at Southampton to run our academy and it all sounds great. When did this Rupert bloke deny interest?

Milner FFS Common, would I have liked to have him in the team for the last few games?, yes because our injuries have been terrible and he could have filled in. Is he one of the players we've missed most in the last several games?, no, not even close.

I like that phrase as well, can't see where its been mentioned though so I'm not sure why you are?..

More like kids who want there Mam (Newcastle) and Dad (Keegan) back together after that slag Mike Ashley split them up with his whoring ways

Yeah, that was Ashley's mistake

Hardly fair to call him the best of a bad bunch, rather a very good defender in a defence with a couple of weak links (namely Taylor and N'Zogbia when he played there). Only Reading & Derby let more goals in than us last season. I know Taylor is shite & Nzobia is hardly Kenny Sansom but they cant take the full wrap for the horrendous amount of goals against us. Didn't say that Beye has never made a mistake that caused a goal, every defender does at times. Just saying that he's a very good right back and if everyone in our defence was as good we wouldn't have conceded nearly as many goals. Obviously a defence has to work as a unit, there's plenty of bad defences with one or two good defenders in them, but you'll be hard pressed to find a good defence with one or two bad players. Of course to solve the rest of the problem with us conceding goals we'd have needed to get a midfield that doesn't put massive pressure on the defence every game and also go back in time and give a condome to Mrs Allardyce.

He's strong, reads the game well and tackles very well too. Going forward is undoubedly his weak point but if a defenders going to have a weak point that's definitely the best one to have Also he's a very good professional, something that can't be said for the likes of Chimbonda.

Fuckin hell mate. You'll get some bites there. Bit too obvious to get a bite I think

Rather then a crysis it could be seen as an opportunity. A chance to replace what is in effect one top class striker (Viduka, Ameobi and Smith just don't count to me) with two very good none injury prone strikers on a fraction of the wages. Owen, Viduka, Smith and Ameobi combined account for about £14 million a year in wages, nearly 22% of the clubs total wage bill. Don't get me wrong I'd like to keep Owen, let Ameobi, Viduka and Smith go, and replace both of them with one very good striker. So we'd then have Owen, Martins, third top striker, Xisco, Carroll. But there is a very real chance Owen will decide to leave at the end of the season unless a new owner comes in now and sorts things out quickly.

No problem he can come back, on a £10,000 match to match contract. If we give that useless lazy fucking tit even a 6 month contract on anything over £5000 I'm going to freak out!

Everton have there own problems at the moment. Namely that they can't seem to win at home, they've won two and drawn one away but lost all three home games this season. We've got a couple of players back (hopefully Enrique is fit to play) and this is as good a chance as any to turn things arround, 2:1 win to the toon.

If the likes of Ambani actually bought a club I'm sure he would spend big on it. Especially if he was buying it to raise his profile, after all if you buy a business to raise your profile you're going to want that business to be as high profile as possible, in other words at the top of the league and in Europe. As well as the fact that he's got idiotic amounts of money (£20 billion or something). Not convinced he will buy anyone though.

As long as those players improve the team then less will need to be spent in the summer anyway.

Apparently their latest offer is £200m which Ashley won't accept. They say they won't go higher because that will leave them with no funds for transfers, development etc. Waste of time if that's true. Its not a £200 million bid, that's the bond they were supposed to have lodged with a lawyer to show they were serious about buying the club. A kind of "here's the colour of our money" kind of thing. Not that I know anything about it personally just saying that's what the papers have said. Always got to bring colour into it haven't you. Just can't help myself

Correct me if I'm wrong but Bill Kenwright doesn't own the club. He can sell Ambani his 33% stake but that wouldn't be enough to trigger a takeover.

The club's getting sold isn't it? That means he's making way for whichever next best leader who is willing to put his money where his mouth is. That's how it is, that's how it's always been. Not sure what your point is there? It means he's a leader who can't provide what you want. The next best thing is to sell to someone who will hopefully do it better. I just don't think he's a leader at all, he couldn't lead a lemming off a fucking cliff! No doubt after months of hearing paper rumours that Ashley wanted him to jump, but with no word from Ashley himself, the poor little bastard would end up protesting. At which point Ashley would sell the cliff for twice its actual worth

Players coming back and a manager to orginise and motivate the players will make a difference IMO. We'll get between 6 and 9 points.
