best LB on FM that'll be good enough for some of the 'tards on here.

yes it did. I've not changed it. least i don't think i have. NAh, i'd remember if i'd done it yesterday. The mentals haven't kicked in THAT bad yet! Play safe. either way, we are NOT going to be challenging for 4th, or being 4th, so its moot.

Was 12 last season I think. Changed from 13 to 12 when Andy Griffin changed from 12 to 2 in his last season for us. yeah exactly... some very odd changes I must say Why Nobby would suddenly revert back? I'm sure he has first choice to keep his own number.... and Harps going back and forth... footballers have too much time I guess. :idiot2: why would Nobby have first choice? He's not a first choice player any more, clearly.

The irony of that big pile of donkey shite having shirt 23 still makes me chuckle.

I must have missed the bit where Shepherd launched a counter bid and stopped the takeover from happening but you have missed the bit where I said shepherd woulc be involved in a future ashley set-up. something I do believe stopped him making a counter bid. Or are you that naive that given the nature of all the other recent take-overs there was absolutely no-one willing to back shepherd against ashley? so you think he'll be here at the end of the season, Shepherd?

Bond was sacked for no official reason, as per employment law re. unfair dismissal within a year To be fair to Vic, he's got that bit spot on I wouldn't even bother Liam, these fuckwits won't have it tbh soemone get a hanky, there's goign to be tears soon.

eh? even if he's done nothing wrong, Ashley will sack Fred without grounds because no-one likes the cops banging on the door? that's some excellent analysis there he won't get sacked, he'll just be shuffled out earlier than planned. What does he do, Vic? the manager doesn't report to him, he isn't leading the strategic review, he's not in charge of the money. He's on borrowed time and he knows it. as for Ashley, i can't see him being happy about the police thing, can you? it's already been explained what he does by Mort himself FFS which was? go and find out, it looks like you need the education You don't know, do you??! Brilliant. Vic trying the junior school approach. "If you don't know, I'm not going to tell you!" why should I tbh? I've posted the truth on here many times, yet people still continue to post in error. As if fuckingnorthernmonkey would change his opinion if I put the information in front of his face (the fucking laugh is it's on here already). Like I said, half hoped he wanted to find out himself, but instead he'd rather talk bollocks and make jokes pure laziness tbh "fuckingnorthernmonkey" You've got the talking bollocks thing almost totally sewn up, mate, so i can only do my best.

I don't think that's what most people feel. For myself, I think that SA, pending Ashley's review, is proceeding with the kind of budget he would have had under Shepherd. More money will probably materialise, and some kind of "trophy signing" may be on the cards. Or not. If Oba's release clause gets triggered, for example, I imagine enough cash will materialise to buy a top-quality replacement. We may well splash out on a fancy playmaker. And more money will definitely be spent on the defence. What he said. I like the idea that we aren't running round with our cocks in our hands, throwing money at crap like we used to. I just wish we could get a true top class player to partner Owen long term, instead of the fat convict, and stop pretending that Babayaro is anything other than a big heap of jizz. Just going on the poll. Most people believe we have £10-15 million to spend. By my reckoning that is at best no more than most would have expected from the old regime, which strikes me as a little odd. I think there is a lot more available. I'd say £25m would be closer. Based on your ind-depth insider knowledge, like your "Roeder will be here next season", or your ability to make up shite, like your "Roeder will be here next season"? Don't know where you're getting that from I'd like to see a quote. Others on this site know I was one of the few that said Roeder wouldn't be here. It's clearly a total guess right as is seems we are thinking of £58m for Ronny. I see you've changed your sig to "challenging" today. Stick to your guns man....Don't be changing shit everyday. my sig has always said that. We'll never be doing it, so it means fuck all. thinking of £58m!!! Christ, this gets funnier.

Brilliant. I do, but if you're happy not to go educate yourself, it hardly makes me think it's worth the effort to do it for you now does it? hahahaahahahahaahaha!!!! Excellent. That really is excellent. whatever. like you even want to find out tbh if i didn't want to, i'd not have asked, you genius. and i'm still waiting to hear you impart your wisdom on how long the fat man will be with us.

good, now we can all stop pretending the cunt is a better manager than Brian Clough and SAF's love child, and that he's got the Board whipped into shape, and accept that he's a strong-willed employee of the club who uses the media to his own ends, and doesn't mind whining if it suits him. i don't particularly care if "Big" Sam is spooning Ashley under the duvet, or if they have a cold, business-like relationship. As long as NUFC are as successful as possible.

he's always supposedly injured before big events, though.

it makes perfect sense to sack someone without grounds? yeah, sure this thread is defamationtastic btw Bollocks. Please explain how long you think Shepherd will still be at the club, btw.

i don't think he needs to tell us jack, frankly.

well done, thats the stupidest comment of the week so far. Which takes some doing.

Anyone who thought Shepherd would be hanging sround for long is a mug. This can only hasten the pace of our distancing ourselves from him. Whether or not he or anyone else has done anything wrong, no-one wants police raids and inferences of corruption diretoed at their business. And thats what this is - Ashley's business, his club. Shepherd isn't in charge of the manager, or the review, or anything else as far as anyone knows. And i very much doubt Ashley got where he is today by keeping people like Shpeherd around for long.

he lived in egypt for about his first two years, about as long as I spent in germany FFS, and I'm no German, and he doesn't class himself as Egyptian he's nearer Egyptian than Geordie

i'm sure he does, i just like the way he hasn't wasted it yet. He's clearly a man who knows what he wants. no questions asked is what he wants I would guess allegedly.

<shudder> No, the fat man.
