Agree with Jonny. Spot on. and as for Wraith trying to say that this decision has led to class based discrimination (or similar) - 25 quid is a drop in the ocean.

The FA are investigating the Darlo carry on - that many people have aid was caused by kids who weren't usual matchgoers. Maybe the club need to be seen to be doing something and making a statement pre-emptively to avoid a big fine or other sanctions.

I kind of posted it thinking of him as a CB - but yes, I would pick him over Simpson. Not sure there is a huge huge amount in it though. Just what we need - good player, not too expensive and can cover those 2 positions. Is he on tour at the minute?

Ah the mystical 'apologists' who don't actually exist but can express concern and frustration without wetting themselves.

And I will be there as well. If anyone wants to come down, The Celt is in the heart of downtown Orlando and a $5-10 cab ride to the Citrus Bowl for the match. The address of the Celt is 25 S. Magnolia Avenue, Orlando, Florida 32801. I'll be getting there around 4ish because kick off is at 730. http://www.dreamstime.com/bowl-of-oranges-and-lemons-thumb4175196.jpg

That South Wales newspaper that always gets quoted says that Routledge is stallling on a pay off from us - and that his wages are prohibitively high.

And you think that's not newsworthy? Nyron Newsworthy?

Was Erdinc

Yes. A couple of times. It was a best knock down and he reacted first to prod home. Looked well pleased

Playing for the third time in 3 days this affo

Fair play to you at least you are condoning it,some of the comments on this thread from other posters is embarrassing though.A "bit of fun" according to some,really don't know where to start with comments like that. condoning???

No - you must be utterly miserible about everything.

3 years ago Ashley said that he was prepared to put up to £20 million a year into the club. At that time his loans were £110 million, they are now just below £140 million so he still owes us £30 million. He said that before 'keegangate'. Afterwards he has said he's putting in cock all. All that notwithstanding we owe him over 100m quid. Now I'd like a take over as much as the next man. But the hum of ennui off this dull patter is starting to depress me a bit. We've made some canny signings - I'm moist at the thought of Ben arfa et al. i'm pricing up train tickets for the Arsenal game and you twats are spoiling it!

Check hubris in the dictionary. You are it personified.

Yip - supply and demand and all that. Should get 2m at least

Is it going to be HUGE?

What is a "proper midfielder"? Ask Souness

This is one of the other things that puzzles me about accounts to be honest. The whole ammortisation thing has became come to the forefront whenever the accounts are published during the time that Ashley has been in charge as a major loss area. However, in his first year we were told that a) players were being bought outright, without installments over the players contract and that b) prior to the January transfer window in that first year we were told that they had 'discovered' a load of debt owed from transfers and paid that off so we were no longer in debt. According to the accounts from the Pardew thread, the player ammortisation loss has gone up year on year under Ashley. Tell me if I'm wrong but isn't this supposed to be based on the asset bought related to money owed on that asset over time. If we had paid outright for players since he came into the club and paid off the debt, how were the ammortisation figures not just increasing, but actually present in the accounts? I think that the value of player on paper decreases over the course of his contract. So if Jose was worh 6m in 2007 he is worth 1.5 now. So nowt to do with how we pay or what we owe. Very rudimentary stuff though - not sure if right

I'd deffo sculpt a quiff though

what are reatrds ? Tyres made from old tyres?

What about Tony Hibbert. A similar rennasiance http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu216/doyleboy123/HIBBOSCOREScopy-1.jpg?t=1260751344 http://dalystew.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/hibbert2.jpg Great stuff. i'll take that as a no. Colman looks the bollocks though
