we? indeed, speak for yourself 69. i thought it was utterly laughable that so many claimed Keegan wasn't to be listened to as he's just being bitter. he was just telling the truth as he saw it, and had a hell of a lot more insight than any of us.

you're all mental. he's certainly not shite and we'd definitely be a better team with him playing.

i can list 5 years worth of other ridiculous decisions if you like, but you probably wouldn't view that as evidence.

very much doubt he's leaving any time soon

Santon will play and rightly so, you've got to be bedding him in as early as possible given that our fixtures look pretty reasonable in the short term future. I think hopes of Tiote completely dominating Barton are a bit premature considering how poor the former has been so far. I think Tiote and Cabaye between them should have enough to see off Barton and Tarabt, but it'll be closer than some are predicting imo.

all valid queries, unfortunately, a fair few people have taken your concerns and ran straight off the deep end with the anti-Ashley rhetoric. I think the proof, either way, will become clearer in the next set of accounts. I appreciate you're using the information/graph supplied by Swiss Rambler, but if quayside can't see the debt reduction in the accounts, then where is SR getting his figures from? At least Colocho wasn't here when the thread was started...

Gyan sounds like a right cunt.

for the record i've never called him shit, i actually think in general he's a solid PL player. this is my thinking though, having two natural footed full backs who can get forward would transform our attacking play even more than a new forward (imo). now that we've got Santon it shouldnt be too much of a stretch to go back in for one of the LB's we missed out on and make this happen, Simpson would obviously lose his place.

Has anything happened like? Are you for real man??? Yes, as far as I know they've taken down some of the letters but nothing new has gone up. Sorry if Imissed something, I haven't been reading every page of this thread. You do know that Sports Direct one is made up, right? awwww ian man, you're tops like but come on - what do you think is gonna go up like? they're not cleaning the letters ahead of putting them back or something Well we'll see, if it happens I'll be as angry as anyone. All I've seen so far is a photo of some of the letters take down, and others left up out of order, and nothing else. Oh, and lots of people on a forum going mental over something that hasn't happened. As far as I can see it's just as likely to be maintenance as an evil plan to destroy the heritage of NUFC, but as I've said if something does happen then I'll go mental too. i'd say it's more likely to be maintenance than an evil plan to destroy the heritage of nufc like. even more likely than both though is that it's a plan to put even more sports direct advertising in the ground with no considerations whatsoever about the heart and soul of the club

agree, personally have no problem with us upgrading simpson. it might actually be foolish to give him a new contract at this point. if you look at out strongest 11 on paper he's clearly the weak link imo Yeah, it's clearly foolish to give him a new contract. Who cares about having 'back-up' players or having genuine 'squad'. fans do, club dont. we haven't got one natural left back at the club, we're never gonna have two specialist right backs. Tavernier. It was you who said it "might actually be foolish to give him a new contract at this point....." So, you aren't a fan, but the club then? yeah mate, i'm the club. dear me, i'm merely saying that we're not gonna have two senior right backs at this club in the near future. so having said that, i'm not keen on danny simpson being our first choice right back for the next 5 years. of course i would like more cover but we're not gonna get it while ashley's here, i could moan about it (which i do everywhere else) but i decided to be realistic, give it a try. I agree with you. We won't have two genuine senior RB's in Ashley's time here. I just thought that it was your very own opinion that it would be foolish to give Simpson a new contract, which it wouldn't be. if we can bring in a left back or someone better than simpson at right back then imo, it would.

Ashley and Llambias both give a damn and the singing section was only disbanded this year, that was done to try and shut up people who were slagging Ashley off. They will think that they have done enough in the transfer window and the shitty statement backs that up. They are clueless, the criticism still hurts them even though they don't want people to pick up on that. I have no doubt that they would have wrongfully thought that they have done enough but that is different from the conspiracy theory floating about that we are just pretending to make bids in an effort to appease fans. First it is completely unsubstantiated and just based on wild accusation by the usual suspects and second I don't see how any fans would be appeased by just bidding. I've yet to see anyone on this forum who have taken the "aah at least we tried" position. Like I said, football is an all or nothing game who are the usual suspects? George Caulkin? Jeff Stelling? Malcolm McDonald?

you can do both?

couldnt care less tbh, it's pretty funny in isolation. just like downing the pint, rumours of the conga in the mackems board room were both funny. it's the way he's running our club i've got a problem with, it's bad enough to not need anything else to slag him off for.

we wont offer him another contract that's good enough to keep him here for various reasons that dont need going into again. fwiw i have a gut feeling he'll go back to italy or spain if it's possible

If you play with HBA, Marveaux, Jonas ans Ba, i don't think you'll see a lot of defending from them... Unless Jonas has some defensive capabilities (i don't know him very well) that i ignore. Mimi, If you were getting married, what kind of floral display or ring would you like? Totally unrelated of course. Bore off man Caught a few fish, Le Excellent! Yeah it looks like it went really well for you Shhh, be quiet. Stunning lack of self awareness,you've succeeded in alienating a good contributor to the board by talking s**** just because they happen to be female. Why on earth you're telling me to be quiet when all I did was suggest you pack it in,I'm not sure. Read the above man! I've apologised! Well,fair play for that

I'd also consider santon at rb with Simpson at lb,depending on marveuax's defensive capabilities,I realise it won't be a very popular view like

Agree nut,really wanna see natural right and left footed wingers,seems like it's been so long since we've had an attack that can get in behind defences

I didn't see the coverage but yorkie kept me upto date. Did Craig actually admit to making stuff up or not, i mean where does he fit into all this? telling everyone we've bid 12m (i think) for n'zogbia with ten minutes to go in the january transfer window? for pardew to then say it was 'an enquiry' later on. that doesnt add up?
