I actually didn't really mind Monaco's ludicrous spending, but now I fucking hate the bastards.

That's the thing that annoys me the most. We won't see half this fee going in to the squad. A big fee only means we'll make a profit this window, which is scandalous after last season.

I hate shit like this, and people on here are guilty of saying it as well. Cabaye doesn't show up in some games, of course, but if he was as good as he can be every single week he wouldn't be anywhere near Newcastle bar once a season on an away game. Clubs like ours in our current state just don't have players who play quality stuff every single week, but I'd rather a player like Cayabe who is capable of special performances than some mediocre player who puts in one or two good shifts a season but starts most games.

If Cabaye goes do we expect Debuchy to be wanting out too then?

People will mock this but it's completely true. Pardew's mismanagement last season is now costing us our best players, this is what we feared after finishing as low as we did. I just get the impression the Pardew factor is going to hit us with full effect now and we're just going to build a woeful side. That might be me being over negative after last season but we'll wait and see.

Fucking devastated. This better be for big money. I can see us replacing him with some fucking clobber too.

Dropped his arse when Lua Lua gave him shit though.

Yep.

I don't think Wonga would be too happy with Cisse in a sponsor-less shirt, especially if he is banging them in and becoming the face of the club next season.

Fuck that man, Darren Bent. His record hasn't exactly been great in recent seasons and I'd rather we didn't look for players in other relegation battling sides.

Why do they all look computer generated?

Shouldn't we all be emailing the club flat out expressing our disgust at this? I know that kind of thing falls on deaf ears at NUFC these days, but stuff like that has worked at other clubs.

I hate people like Bellamy man. Everything boils down to who can knock who out in a fight, so utterly pathetic. Cracking player for us, but I've always thought he was a total bellend. Wasn't he in bars in Newcastle burning money in front of working class fans before too? I'm sure I read that on here before.

I think they tried to tell the fans the most successful clubs play in red, so they're changing to red to be more successful. It was some nonsense along those lines.

NUFCFans shared this on Facebook, I don't even like their page and it's on my newsfeed. But anyway, just incase they're still reading this thread, NUFCFans, you are shit.

Of course it's real man, it was leaked with the away tops and one of those has been released.

That's rank.

Happily eating my words really, I thought we'd be hammered. Having said that I thought Ireland were very hot and cold. We played well but our passing and movement on the ball was shocking at times.

No. It's impossible, you can't even attract professional footballers to the league over here, well, bar Keith Gillespie.

I've thought about this sort of thing before. Imagine the likes of Newry City when they still existed. If I were a billionaire and was willing to spend a large chunk of my fortune on the club, what players do you think would realistically come and play in the Northern Irish league? How far would it actually get them like. I can remember Shelbourne holding Deportivo to a 0-0 years ago. Imagine getting Newry into the group stages of the CL. I smell a Footie Man save brewing up... Every FM player in this town has tried that shit.

How so? At least Monaco have some sort of history to them, while Man City, Chelsea and PSG were big(ish) teams before hand anyway. While Anzhi are paying big money so their players can live and train in Moscow and just fly in to Makhachkala for their games (a distance equivilant to our players living and training in Florence) while being surrounded by large amounts of security. Anzhi's home games in Moscow are usually hilarious, they have all the feel of closed-doors friendles. I didn't watch the EL game you played there, but I might wager a chance NUFC fans actually outnumbered the "home" fans. I think we only had about 50 there. The rest of the stadium was close to empty though, it was hilarious watching the teams coming out of the tunnel to so many empty seats.

Forget about Deportivo, Newry played giants of European football Hrvatski Dragovoljac and MSV Duisburg! (thank you Wikipedia!)
