So is fucking Phil bastard Neville.

Paid by ITV to do do.

Yeah I saw him make a couple of runs with the ball against Norwich that really reminded me of Gazza.

Guess they would argue based on the January dudes. Again this is connected to last summer's inactivity. Sure, I don't even know how much weight I give to it. I do think it deserves some credit, but obviously it doesn't entirely make up for the two quiet summers. Did the club/Lambsarse/Pardew admit last summer's frugality was a mistake and that January would go someway to rectifying that? Pretty sure I recall some bumph of that nature. Now they're saying that this summer's frugality is down to the splash out in January. Cake and eat it merchants.

Looks a hell of a player, Gazzaesque even.

Boycotting SD is actually probably a much better way to hit him, if that's what you want to do. No it wouldn't. How would Ashley know it was Newcastle fans boycotting Sports Direct? In fact how would he know any group of people was boycotting Sports Direct?

I've always liked Hansen. As a player and as a pundit.

Greg Dyke is talking a load of rubbish. Our lack of success has been a feature since England became seriously involved in competitive international football in the 1950s. It predates the Premiership by a long way, and is primarily down to the lack of technical ability in English players. At the very top level, we get found out. If anything the gap in technique between ourselves and the rest has narrowed since the Premiership was formed, even though it's still there. And the current England team are better than the vast majority of England teams I've had to watch over the last 40 years. The early Sir Bobby teams, say 82-84 when the old guard of Ron Greenwood had retired and Sir Bobby was floundering somewhat, which incidentally he did quite a lot of as England manager, we had some awful performances and one in particular against Russia in 84 when he selected Steve Hunt and John Gregory in midfield which I can never forget. But even those days fade into insignificance to when Graham Taylor was selecting Geoff Thomas and Carlton fucking Palmer. That's the worst England times I can remember.

Sooner have Carlton Banks.

Doesnt kick it high enough or far enough for our manager.

Left backs are in the side foremost to defend and Domi wasn't very good at it. Plus his attitude knocks points off for me , certainly rather have Bez in the trenches beside me than Domi, who we all know what unforgivable thing that he did.
-
Bernard? Domi? Are u serious? They ain't better than Bez. On-par maybe but even that is stretching it. Domi certainly wasn't. Bernard maybe.

It is - but only up to 30th June 2012. Well that's all we can go on really, what is in the accounts. If he pockets all the new TV money than that's a different matter. In the accounts there is £111 million of loan that is long term - i.e due after more than one year. That has now been there for several years. As at June 2012 he had loaned the club an additional £29 million during 2011 and 2012 to buy players and meet short term cash commitments. This additional amount was short term, repayable within one year.. The accounts show he had already received £11 million back, and we can probably assume he's had the remaining £18 million back by now. He's not going to get his loan back anytime soon if that pattern continues The additional £29m from Ashley came in the 09-10 Championship season and was required because the bank wouldn't allow the club to continue to have a £36m overdraft outside the Prem. Player sales on relegation (and income from previous player sales) covered the revenue fall in the Championship season so there was practically no increase in the net debt, it merely transferred from the bank to Ashley. He certainly didn't put in any money during 2011 and 2012 to buy players. The entire debt to Ashley is in the accounts (and was pre-relegation too) as payable within one year. Whether Ashley regards the £29m as special and will stop using profits to pay off the loan once this is recouped is speculation. Unfortunately for Ashley, I think the unanticipated, forced January spend will have put paid to any plans to pay off any significant amount of the loan last year. You're certainly right though that the way he is running the club, he is going to be unable to pay off much debt anytime soon unless very little of the additional TV revenue gets spent on fees & wages for the foreseeable future, or we pull quite a few more Milners & Carrolls out of the hat. I'm not sure that qualifies for a smiley though.

Only the Stadium loan was repayable on change of ownership, which was around £45m. Ashley chose to repay the other loans, and he also chose to move to a system of paying up front for players brought in while receiving payments in instalments for players we sold (part of the reason the net debt rocketed in the first couple of years). He had the money to take on the debt, and it benefited both him and the club. It's pretty obvious he would have paid off the stadium loan regardless of any clause. Wasn't most of what we spent in January offset by the Ba fee?

Similar squad strengths but they don't have Pardew. So yes.
-
Whilst being content with abject mediocrity. I can only put it down to jealousy. For my take on Bez, there weren't many better English left full backs around. I always thought only Pearce was better despite Le Saux being called up ahead of Bez. He was definitely better than that cock.

Spacebar fucked neesmeister?

Because as I said earlier, Ashley, for once quite rightly, was fearful for our Premiership existence. Merely existing in the top tier is enough for Ashley to advertise his tacky sports shop to the masses. And merely existing as opposed to targeting the top 6 costs a lot less.
-
The statement proves to me what we've known all along. Pardew, whose remit ,as we were told by Golfmag, was to reduce the wage bill, is a patsy. He is complicit in all of this because he's known since day one what is expected of him. Ashley is simply happy with Newcastle United being a Premiership club, as it is being used by Ashley as a corporate advertising billboard for his company. The only way we'll see investment is if, like January, Ashley is fearful for our Premiership survival. In short, he'll only invest if we're shit.

He doesn't HAVE to do anything. He doesn't have to lend his name to that and he doesn't have to accept it. He can walk at any time or break ranks. We aren't in a good position, we are 2/3 injuries away from being f***ed. Jesus Christ man Walk and just let JFK win? Actaully you are happy for JFK to come in aren't you because things can't get any worse apparently. Our squad can barely get any better according to you, what with being in a better position than most sides out there and all. Find any quote where i've said it can barely get any better? Made it clear i was disappointed with lack of a striker/midfielder. I do think our squad is better than most, i've asked someone to pick one of these other sides squads that is better than ours, obvs bar top 6. We aren't in major trouble like people make out. We've had a good start to the season and our players are starting to come together and get fit. We have Ashley as owner, he's a cunt, we've just got to deal with it and move on to get results on the pitch even though he hasn't made it any easier for us but we still have the talent available to get results. Like has been said to you before, you Pardew sycophants have no ambition for the club You say we have had a good start to the season when in fact it has been results wise bang average and performances wise average at best. Some of the vomit inducing bilge you post is so over the top that I'm not sure you even support Newcastle United .

Nat's knockers aren't what they were . She has definitely lost a bit of timber in the mammary postal code.
