Zabeel Investments wouldn't have any ties to a certain Mr. Bin Laden, by any chance?

Don't you want anything this society's got? Are you going underground? Well the brass bands play and feet start to pound...

You know it, baby.

It may not seem justice to some, it will to others, there's not much point harping on about it. Fuck all we can do.

Can somebody with a bit more knowledge of the money markets, banking etc provide us with some insight as to what impact today's events with Lehman Bros., Merrill Lynch and AIG could mean for big football investment and the likelihood or otherwise of Ashley finding a buyer at the price he wants?

Avram Grant wouldn't come here.

A lot of the Hull squad were being deliberately provocative in their conduct on Saturday - Halmosi (sp?) and King also deserved a slap, tbh.

Can't believe people are actually enjoying watching someone's leg get broken. Shame. Just like that scene from Stephen King's "Misery" where Kathy Bates hobbles James Caan. I'm sure I mentioned that earlier in another thread.

Is it not the case that in this instance Guthrie's been more daft, perhaps venting frustration with circumstances, and been hot-headed and stupid and rash, rather than wilfully malicious?

He's a cunt. End of discussion.

Did anyone even foul him no Sorry no - I should clarify - i meant in terms of the injury. A better analogy perhaps would have been Keane/Haaland perhaps?

Anyone would think that football isn't a contact sport. Hysterical overreactions going on about this, really. We're hardly talking about a David Busst scenario are we?

WE'RE DOOMED!!!

It would be no laughing matter. Some might say that it's better the devil you know... Not me, by the way. Well, not in this case. not got much optimism regarding our potential to attract worthy investors then? No

This thread's turning out to be a beauty.

It would be no laughing matter. Some might say that it's better the devil you know... Not me, by the way. Well, not in this case.

It's a bit like Kathy Bates's Annie in "Misery" when she "hobbles" Paul... Mike Ashley's just hobbled the club. It's mental.

:lol: NUFC is the Amy Winehouse of the Premier League.

Would probably be a saner option than you'd think

Martins apparently wants away, N'Zogbia too and I'd expect to find that Given & Owen feel the same way...and I'd imagine the mood in the dressing room is way beyond shit. This feels just like watching a loved-one destroy themselves on a binge of drugs and alcohol - you can see what's going to happen, but you can do nothing to stop it, as this situation has now got its own unstoppable, terrible momentum... Feels worse, in some ways, than the darkest days of the Shepherd reign.

I think we're already teetering on the brink of self-destruction as a club anyway, mojo. We'll be firmly wedged in the bottom 3 by Christmas.

Don't blame him for wanting to sell up, bearing in mind that mob rule has always won the day at SJP, and he must feel there's no way back now,especially if his safety & his family's safety has been put in jeopardy by the idiot fringes of the fanbase. I suspect the current economic climate has as much to do with his decision to sell up as recent events have, though. So in summary I'm just worried for the club's future now. Very, very worried.

Some bloke called Westwood in one of these consortiums. Apparently.

Are you John Lennon's secret Geordie lovechild? "Imagine there's no Keegan..."

I understand why people protested yesterday - it may not all have been as eloquent or focused or well-judged as it could have been, but people are hurting badly. How anyone with any passion for the club, or for the game of football can fail to understand that is beyond me.
