Colos Short and Curlies

Can't believe Roeder's comments 'A point is the target away from home'. No its not, its three points every game, even away to Chelsea, Arsenal, Manu etc. Go for one you will get nothing most of the time. 4-5-1 at best next week then. If thats the managers ambition its no wonder the players won't kill games off or be adventerous. One goal and sit back. Rubbish

Isn't his injury the same as Kevin Kyle had - didn't he have a year out of the game with it as well?

If it's an existing shareholder with a significant stake, they have to disclose their purchase to the Stock Exchange. So it may not be the "mystery buyer" you're thinking of after all! Reckon it was Macbeth, destory from within when I win £100m on the Eurolottery I'll offer them £30m for there shares, take it or leave it, while changing my name to "Geordie Abramovitch", how can they turn it down ? What ever is left after my wife and daughter get the shoes and frocks they 'need' I'll use for investing in the club, I believe shareholders are allowed to put money in as well as take it out :winking: Tell Fred that! I've got the missus to agree to £50m going in once I win tonight. I'd even keep Fred there and just buy out SJH or Douggie. First policy, no dividends until a trophey is won. Second policy, Fred keeps his mouth shut

If thats Peter Ramge I'm Titus Bramble. Lovely smell of crisp burnt fifty's here

The 3 amigos on after 65 mins to inject a bit of pace

not really. Just showing you how dumb and stupid you look when you post that shite rather than join in with the discussion like someone with something worth saying, whether people agree with you or not. I did "join in with the discussion", I was talking to T27, and he said I won the argument. Next please! I'm not arsed son. You posted it and edited peoples posts, you're just an idiot More double standards. So why didn't Shearer - and other major players like Rob Lee - not want to leave the club like Waddle, Gazza and Beardsley did As you know everything, being a long term supporter - cough cough .... Wages. Wages. And more wages. Perhaps Lee and Shearer played for the club, the likes of Duff, Martins, Bellamy all play for the wages. funny. Why didn't Gazza, Beardsley and Waddle play for the club ? And why didn't they pay them bigger wages ? Did you see this periold, or are you guessing ... Bellamy was desperate to leave the club due to lack of ambition, :roll: yep , if you don't understand the current period you certainly won't understand previous ones. Zoggy may well want to play with his current Frenchman, the other 2 are no great loss and if you compare them with Gazza, Beardsley and Waddle, in ability as well as affinity they should have with the club, it does nothing other than confirm you haven't a clue what you are talking about. Appointing Souness showed ambition? Surely if less talented players want to leave now it makes the situation worse. Have you any experience of football clubs accounts? Have you reviewed and critiqued sporting business plans? Are you aware how transfer fees and sponsorship deals are worked out? If you want to get into discussion about boardroom politics and finance. I'm your guy.

Funny how in the last few years we have seen Bellamy, Kluivert and Jenas all desperate to leave. We now have rumours that Parker is unhappy with how its run behind the scenes, Zog wants out, Milner too. And who will we replace them with? Sibs? Bernard?

Yes our money. Unlike buying goods from the supermarkerts, most fans don't just buy tickets to watch the game, they fork out the money because they see it as an investment towards the club so that the club will have the finances to do well and improve. That's the only way to explain why people keep on buying tickets despite the extortionist prices, its definitely not for the entertainment value! Similarly reason why fans buy tops from the club shop when they can get the exact same product from normal sports stores for 10-15 quid cheaper. Paying OUR money towards NUFC is not just like buying a packet of condoms! your choice is simple. If you aren't happy, don't pay them your money. Like 30,000 others did when they weren't interested for years, when we sold our trophy players and replaced them with players from Oxford etc And selling Bellamy to replace him with Rossi/Sibs Looking likely to sell Emre, Milner and/or Zog in Jan to fund a couple of full backs Seems very similar, only this time its not just established internationals who are going to jump ship

If you had a voice like Scotty would you do TV interviews? I wouldn't

Do you reckon Fred is factoring in his Owen Compo fund? He's been down to injury lawyers for you, no win no fee and is coming home with 15 big ones. Beckham in January. Thats my guess, not my hope but my guess. Personally I'd go for 2 decent full backs and look for a big striker on the cheap.

Do people not realise that we aren't in the 1980's anymore? Back then we sold our best players because we had no ambition. Now we have a forard thinking board who always make money available. Why would a young star want to leave the club at this point? :roll:

Would rather Houllier and Keegan tbh

added No, I was just letting people know

Will pay for sex

Even if the Man United player was significantly better? Makes no sense tbh. How do we know though? One of the reserve boys could take to the premiership like ducks to water. As at the 31st August I'd have rather gone with our reserves than a short term fix in a Manu reserve. Rossi may or may not be better. Until they get a chance we will never know

To be honest I'd rather give Carroll or Triosi match time than a Manu reserve we've only got till Jan. Woul dbe different if he was here for the season, but he's not - pointless transfer

Here's the big worry. when Glenn goes, our caretaker is a toss up between Terry Mac and Clarkie. Gulp

You set the standards when it comes to being boring, do you have to practice or does it come natural? -18 places and £millions to prop up Cameron Hall and the Shepherd pension fund, care to comment? Why did our best players and managers want to leave the club ie Cox, Lee, Beardsley, Waddle, Gazza during your golden era and now they don't - care to comment ? I see you still don't answer the earlier question from begbie etc, its because you don't know isn't it I think thats quite a simple one really, we pay overinflated basic wages. That is NOT good management from a boardroom. Where is the incentive for players to bust a gut to (a) get in the first team and (b) give 100% every minute of every game. Answer, there is none. And because no other team will pay these wages we are stuck with said players for a 4-5 year period or have to sell them off at bargain prices to compensate for the wages.

Pav Taylor Bramble Moore/Rampage Bernard/Rampage Parker Emre Milner Zog Rossi Luque If Pav plays and we keep a clean sheet it will be 3 clean shhets with 3 different keepers in a row. Can't be too many teams managed that one!

Irregardless. Sorry like, but this has just given me a flashback to when I worked in America and my boss used to use this word all the time. The word irregardless makes no sense, what you actually meant was regardless. Irregardless has a self-contained double negative. Lots of Americans seem to use irregardless. Sort it out. See? You come on here and you get educated in how to speak PROPER English. Oh my god sad and bored?

Look at Kruls Pants/Shorts, shouldn't the padding be on the knees and not the shins?

Like Bobby Robson deciding to sell Gary Speed, for example? Just looking at the steady decline in the value of the club's assets, posted upthread, it's clear that this is nonsense. Although you are correct that Fat Fred's decision to appoint Souness was a characteristically terrible one, as was Fat Fred's decision to try and redeem that mistake by splashing out too much money on the wrong players. The main reason for the fall in net assets is the dividends being taken by the directors the depreciation on the stadium and the wages paid. Excessive transfer fees may make the cash position look bad, but as MB said above, doesn't really affect net assets

Yesterday Fred gave the vote of confidence, today he's denying the Sven link. Gone by Sunday

Ramage up front?! Glenn's team. He's played Rampage out of position enough already. Why not upfront to stop Luque from playing
