The team is just about the best we can put out, Perez aside. we dont have options.

After we got promoted, the attendance for the first home game against this lot was 43,546, and yet we know a substantial minority of those have chucked it in since. Absolutely baffling. Who the f*** is filling these seats? Stag parties from Scotland and Ireland. Town is full of them. Stag Doo's arent taking up 7k seats man

NUFC.com were saying over 50,000 had been sold for the Villa match by Wednesday morning. beat me to it, nearly a sell out apparently. I turned down a free ticket today as well. I'll stay in the bar.

underrated post Top class.

Just had a quick google, looks like they were paying royalties to a Sister Company, also selling coffee beans to themselves at a higher price so made it look as though no profit was made. A couple of other sneaky tricks too.

We haven't reported a profit before player trading yet. Operating profit for the last 7 years has been... -29.0m -24.7m -37.7m -33.5m -3.9m -5.1m -0.6m I'd expect us to spend in Summer. Conveniently ignoring the mahoosive tv deal Why discount player trading btw? Does that money not count? I struggle to trust these numbers. Remember that Starbucks reported a profit of £1.05m last year. They have 791 stores and that's the first profit they've reported in 17 years. Never underestimate the importance of a decent accountant. I'd be amazed if the numbers NUFC report are anywhere near indicative of the financial performance of the club and everything associated with it. That cant be right surely? Pre-Tax "profits" for starbucks in the last three accounts. 2012: -30,403,907 2013: -20,465,123 2014: 1,056,196 Fucking Hell I'd heard little bits and bobs about the Tax Dodging but didnt really pay much attention. How'd they manage to get away with that for so long?

I see where HF is coming from and agree with him to an extent. I think we will spend in the Summer simply because we need too. I've little faith of the amount being significant or the quality being good enough though.

It's because they sit and talk shite. 'Wheres marco', 'which players have middle names that sound like dinosaurs', 300 weather reports, ando spending 25 minutes telling everyone 'careful what you wish for' etc etc

Fuck, wrong thread.

One thing I despise about football these days is this 'we aren’t expected to get anything' attitude. It really boils my p*ss.

:lol: Hardly a slip when he does it all the time though. Never heard a manager refer to himself so much...'I'm an experienced manager', 'I've got a good record', 'I always bring young players through' etc etc 'I'd like to congratulate myself'

How the fuck did he not give that?

Stonewall that one.

He can blamed for his total lack of effort though.

I love watching Gouffran strolling around, must look even better on fancy white board in the tactics room. Instead of to the naked eye. The stats told him he had a great game.

They've scored the most in the league.

Why?

Kept an eye out for him today and what a lazy fuck he was. Stood watching most of the game, reacted to very little and made no effort to support when we tried to break. Will start the next game.

Perez breaks and gouffran just jogs along behind without a care in the world.

I know we're 3 down after 20 minutes but lets not forget the good work jc is doing behind the scenes. The kids are allowed to eat with the first team, we tape training now which can only be a positive and erm, stuff.
