I don't care if he's called Wanky McStains as long as he provides the funds. So, Keegan then

Jackanackanory!

It's on the Chronicle website: http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/nufc/newcastle-united-news/2009/07/30/bidders-claim-nufc-buyout-offer-ignored-72703-24276301/ For some reason I can't copy and paste from that page but 3/4 of the way down page one. Sorry about the turbo link

It'll be there 'Just in' at about 2pm.

KK is no guarantee either though. Shearer at least has a steely determination which suggests he will fight for the club til the end, no matter how bad it turns out Keegan also as a player (like Shearer did) had a steely determination about him. Time machines not withstanding i know which i would prefer now though. Me too. If we re-appoint Keegan me and you are sinking some wrays

They're saying the same thing, technically. Conspiracy: Derek is telling them Shearer isn't coming so the players will stop hanging on waiting for him and leave.

Ok we know who your contact is and he was right about...when he was playing the next day. Maybe he just reads the Sun

BlueStar's fkn dolphins!

But...his direct quotes are usually shite anyway Agree on the Manboob thing, they've made a guy up and his spokesperson is therefore also made up. What are the chances of the Sun getting a takeover exclusive from Llambias and magically managing to track down this guy's PR man all in one evening.

I think you're over-estimating our reserves/under-estimating the Championship. Southampton's kids got relegated, and a lot of them are very highly rated.

On the one hand, the fact that nobody can find anything on him makes me think he's not looking for publicity, and the fact that there's quotes from his spokesman makes it even better. Then there's the fact he's called Serious Manboob, nobody has ever heard of him and he has a ridiculous name, it's probably a prank. Also the fact he's spoken to the Sun and that he's spoken at all makes it seem even less likely. It's really all or nothing with this guy, he either exists and we can all get excited or it's a prank and The Sun look like tools again. It won't be another Profitable Group scenario.

I wouldn't be too surprised to see us play Kazenga in a free role off Shola or Carroll, he seems that sort of free spirit. Not that I'd want us to play that like

So 11:10 for the first week then presuambly just after MOTD from the week after when the Premiership starts again. Sounds good to me

Probably. He's called Serious Manboob ffs. And not even Skirge has managed to find him on the internet. Throw in the Keegan jibe and that's it really, more chance of me buying it.

Llambias says next week? That rules that out then

That's a good point actually, if we ever get sorted we might be relying on Shearer to pull in some favours with his premiership pals. Ah yes, all his friends that turned up for his testimonial

Yep, unable to provide proof of funds http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11678_5456939,00.html Well, that surely puts a different slant on things - when I saw the headlines, I thought they'd withdrawn because they couldn't agree a price with Fat Mike. The fact that they don't have the money to buy the club in the first place should surely have the headline "NUFC withraw interest in Profitable bid" It's like the mackems with Crouch. They withdrew their interest because Crouch wouldn't move north, i.e. he rejected them. The Profitable Group have withdrawn their interest because they have no friggin money, and to me it seems like they were never likely to.

If it makes the idiots decision any easier then this is good news. Unable to provide proof of funds, so what the hell was McMahon hoping to "hear by Friday"? "Oh, Steve, we've seen you haven't got enough money but GOOD NEWS!" More lies and shite.

Txting Hughton. "Sign me pls. Love Al. Ps. Dowie 2" noticed Dowie was on the pitch at the start, hhmmm Aye that was a bit odd. Maybe Dowie just feels he has to follow Shearer or else he'll be forgotten

Txting Hughton. "Sign me pls. Love Al. Ps. Dowie 2"

I thought Ant & Dec had signed up to play in this?

2-0, good finish Samaras

Watching the goals on SSN, Forster looks at fault for 3 and 4 at least

Yes we've been fucked by a team a division lower than us and yes it was the youngsters for the last 15/20, but the sad thing is those players are on the fringes of our team now, a few injuries/sales and they will be playing as it stands.
