I cannot see the problem with us putting a value on the player of GBP35kk or even higher if that is what we value him at. Why on earth should we sell him to another team for less than he is worth as a favour to the player? He feels he needs to go and play somewhere else, that is fine, the new team has to pay what the going price is for a player of his obvious abilities, I saw it myself at the Euros, he is pretty good when he wants to be. If he wanted to be sold for cheap he should have played crap in the Euro final and then his value would not have elevated..... Given the prices that are quoted for top players these days 35Mil is very reasonable, come on - if Pogba is worth 100Mil then I would say 35Mil is a bargain for Sissoko.

Mackems appear to be bracing themselves for Fat Sam to leave them in order to take up the England job. Clause in his contract that he can leave for England should it become available. Apparently......

Could someone please post a picture of the queue at their box office for new season ticket sales for the upcoming season? Assuming it is wrapped around the stadium 2 or 3 times over.....

Hmm not sure what to do now.. How much did you end up paying? For me and my son together in Level 1 of Leazes Stand I paid 473 for me and 137 for him (610 in total).

I was told that there was 100% sell out last season and they couldn't sell tickets in that area until after the renewal deadline. I could be placed on a list though.... I just bought Cat 3 tickets instead ... not much extra to be honest and probably a better view. Definitely lower.

I just rang and got through straight away, Family Area not on sale until after the renewal deadline date due to it being sold out completely last season. I just bought 3 together in Category 3 Leazes End for me, my dad and my son! I am ridiculously happy all of a sudden, I chucked my East Stand tickets in 4 seasons ago and actually swore I would not be back until Ashley was gone. I think the Benitez factor is almost as good as having Ashley gone, at least Ashley appears to have given complete power over football matters to Rafa! Oh, you can only book tickets on the phone if you pay with a card.

Wiltshire and Henderson barely kicked a ball all season yet they are going?? I was at the match on Friday last week in Sunderland, Henderson was absolutely shattered by the end of it. It will take at least 10 full matches before he is up to full match fitness... Wiltshire has every chance of breaking into 1000 pieces (along with Sturridge) leaving the squad depleted and completely lacking a plan B.... Gutted for Townsend, if anyone deserved a shout it was him.

Like.

Steve McLaren You clueless cunt. Hope you are proud of your handy work

They play like they played against Arsenal last weekend and Stoke will struggle to score! Especially with the injuries that Stoke currently have. That said Sparky has them playing to achieve their highest ever Premier League position and points tally so maybe they are still up for it....

Lovely quote.

If ever there was a 120 Million Pound match....

Between the London Eye and Blackfriars there must be 20 pubs along the South Bank. Plenty of choice... not sure which, if any, will have the match on.... You will find it somewhere I am sure.

Finally, guess Rafa is over the line!! :cheesy: :cheesy:

You just described Pardew....

I think there would be a number of managers who would take the role on a temporary basis - until the end of the season. If the wages are good and the "stay up" bonus is adequate you could see practically any - out of work - manager jumping at the chance to give it a go. I do mean ANY out of work manager! It is whether the club has the balls to approach some of the top men who are currently not associated with another club with a decent proposal to work for Newcastle...

He absolutely has to go, if we are to stand any sort of chance of survival it is going to be with a manager that the players will respond to. The squad is good enough - just needs the correct leadership and someone who is clearly not a bumbling buffoon of a man with no clue of anything. Watched MoTD 2 yesterday and Martin Keown was pretty scathing of him. Said he was a decent coach but, a hopeless manager (in not quite those exact words). It has been said many times before but, why is Ashley pumping money into the team and setting up his expensive asset to fail with the worst kind of leader? In any business football or otherwise strong and quality leadership is a must for any sort of success.... Rodgers for me but, I would accept Benitez happily, Moyes nope!

Please win this!

I once had to go into Frankland to do a little job, very strange feeling inside a jail - as an innocent coward.... I saw Albert Dryden, the guy who shot a council official that was trying to get his house knocked down after he built it in the middle of nowhere up near to Consett without planning permission. He looked very sad and lonely....

I was 16 in the month of September yet I was not eligible to leave school until the following summer. What a stupid statement for him to make regarding asking the girl about her age...

Are Sun'lun still going to be allowed to distribute free tickets to their matches at local primary schools now that they are exposed as being paedo-sympathisers?

They warn potential suiters that Berahino's value will not drop even in the final months of his contract.... I see.... I wonder how much he will be worth when he is completely out of contract and free to walk away.... I believe players can start to negotiate a deal with potential new clubs once their existing contract is inside the final 6 months, is that right? All the player has to do is sit tight, carry on getting paid, and then he can go to any club that makes him a suitable offer once his contract with West Brom is fulfilled.... Idiots!

Are you sure you are ok, your eye seems rather pink? Well played.... I took my user name from an albino rabbit.... My eyes are steel grey, like my soul.

I got poked in the eye by my son the other week, I was OK after around 3 minutes.

That is a fine tashe...
