Incognito

Dateline April 1st 2007: Venue:A Casino,somewhere in London. At a private booth,2 men are in deep discussion,both are prominent businessmen,1 is Mike Ashley,the other could be anybody,in my scenario.They are discussing a phenomonenal wager,500 million pounds worth,in fact.The unknown man is suggesting it would be a challenge to get one of the top 3 most supported clubs in the Premiership relegated.Ashley,never one to turn down a wager accepts and puts his plan into work.

We've gone from 259 to 294 on the Sky text page.

Who can add on?

just great timing..my thoughts is that this is a trading places scenario,and Ashley has had a wager that he could get Newcastle relegated...I can see no other reason for this farce.

I would have fancied Liverpool to beat Barca if im entirely truthful.

Post Redknapp there was some coughing and spluttering by Mort that Arry hadn't actually been offered the job but it seemed pretty f*cking obvious that he had. I'm just curious where the appointment of Wise came from. Redknapp wouldn't have had any of that surely, so was Wise just brought in to handcuff Keegan in the transfer market because they didn't trust his judgement? Also how would a cheque book manager like Redknapp have handled a net spend of next to nothing? Perhaps that's the reason Redknapp said no. Maybe - but you would think they had sorted all that stuff out before they went as far as signing any sort of Heads of Agreement. This is Mike Ashley we're talking about.

Course not...The Coca Cola Championship is.....

Well, after having watched Xavi and Iniesta orchestrate the barca midfield tonight it's clear that Kinnear saw an English equivalent in the willy Nolan... FYP mate.

The Villa fan handing out the medals isn't as nasty as the twats isat by on Sunday.

Wonder how Lee Stewart is feeling?

Really happy for Henry!!!Great player and pro.

Congratulations Barca!!! Fuck off Manure.

Worse than Barton's tbh.

Watching this shit makes me glad we have no connection to the Premiership

Carrick and Giggs have had shockers tbh.

Ronaldo tasting his own medicine there.

Taggart this is murrrrdddeerrrrrrr!!!you red faced prick!!

Isnt nice to see though,them wankers really getting outclassed.Make the most of it though,we know how jammy these cunts.

Sounds like a plan, seriously don't want to watch this at the pub with the hoards of northern wannabees chanting (the wrong words) Man utd songs. Im going to be in the pub singing Freddie Mercury/Montserrat Caballe songs/song...

Yep..my sentiments exactly.

My Toon shirt will be welcomed by some in Zante tomorrow..good news.

Utter brilliance.

Me too, i keep thinking about it and smiling to myself. My mackem mate who goes to every game home and away, says he actually misses the away days, he'd rather go to Cardiff than Wigan etc. I'd rather he went to Cardiff than Wigan too tbh.

Actually sickening btw, they manage to get themselves into ridiculous amounts of debt, unsustainably staying in the Premiership beyond their means, facing deserved financial difficulties which would probably see them ultimately relegated as they sell their squad........ then they get taken over by an Arab. Doesn't help that I despise the club either. Yep it's a little unjust, if these arabs are of the man city ilk then they be in for a great ride at Portsmouth. So much for the value of financial prudence. Look where that's got us, in the fizzy pop league. The guy who's brokered the deal was the same one at Man City. He was initially chairman and wanted to go crazy with money, then the moneymen realised it wasn't a prudent proposition and put the more reasonable Khaldoon in charge. So I reckon Al-Fahim's found some other backers, obviously big-money, and will go crazy at Portsmouth. Wouldn't it be fill a fat man's incontinence pants with piss funny if Redknapp,now devoid of money at Spurs went back there to a fat transfer budget?
