Not allowed out after a game is how I understood it. After or before? before would make more sense if he wasn't boozing i see no issue, given the things shearer is supposed to have put in place i'd imagine they'd be alcohol testing players these days - if not they should be

Absofuckinglutely. This is key, there is just so much work to do, there is no time for sitting back mauling things over, having a break, then finally making the decision on who will be the permenant manager some time in late June early July. But why do I get the impression that that's exactly what will happen ? aye i want our team to be signed at the start of the season in time for the 1st game, none of this before the transfer window shuts shit, really players should be signed so that they start pre-season training, that gives you better preparation no, no, no, don't you know it's haaaaaard to sign players these days? it can only be done right before the window, apparently

Last 10 matches: Newcastle United - 6 points Aston Villa - 7 points That's not a huge gulf like.. Especially considering we had the much harder last 10 matches. aye righto, we're almost as good as villa

i don't fancy this one little bit, some people's attitudes just don't seem to fit in with reality - villa have been poor for a few weeks, maybe months but there's still a huge gulf between us and them that will only close if we lift our performance somehow a 50% villa vs normal newcastle is not gonna end in a win for us i'm sure of that

But why do I get the impression that that's exactly what will happen ? 'cause that's what always happens with us, pre-ashley and now you can fucking guarantee it, i nice break then fart about sorting the manager which delays any transfer moves and "we all know how hard it is to sign players these days " don't we? feel like i'm back to last summer when i and others were saying we should have key deals sorted ahead of the window opening and was told patience was a virtue, worked out well that time

it's called booze

arsehole of death tbh Maybe so. But he was/is an unbelievably gifted footballer, though. absolute arsehole of death tbh tell the kids

The Thalidomide Arms is the best pub i've been to if you want to get legless! weeeeak

Plymouth fans absolutely hate him. He's funny, but he's not a man of his word. No morals. football & morals? i fail see your point

bingo, our priorities will be smith, duff, butt, martins, geremi, jonas, colo etc... who are all earning a fucking fortune - get shot of them while offering bassong an extension with a view to him leaving in a year if it doesn't work out someone offers 10m and the manager wants it then sell he cost fuck all and probably gets paid relatively little - we've seen with ashley already the false economy of selling players with "marketable value"...maybe we should get shot of the ones no-one wants for a fucking change (although i realise that's harder it will make us a better football team)

time for a websiiiiiiiiite!!!!

in our diabolical squad bassong = one of a few decent players who we should be determined to keep and i said bent over and fucked, not that him leaving would leave us fucked but i suspect you know this - i was getting at player vs club power i for one see more wrong with NUFC than is just on the pitch and this is part of it, we need to make the club take priority over the players and let rot the ones who don't buy in

nah agree, lets get bent over and fucked by more footballers eh? it's largely what's brought us to this point

least someones getting what i'm saying

why is it suddenly unrealistic to reject a bid? tell arsenal to beat it, he's not for sale? or whoever else it's how you work the player that matters, man-management - again people are acting like he's an established international for whom it would be unthinkable to play a division down, bollocks Reject a bid? Ashley? in the event of relegation & shearer staying i'd imagine ashley will have to let the club be run as a football again - what's the alternative? keep reducing the value of his asset as we go down the leagues? doubt it

me, pretty poor tbh he's achieved precisely nothing in the game and appears not to be particularly willing to stick around for a season to help get us back up, can't recall there being a queue beating a path to his door when he was relegated last season myself he's a symptom of the wider disease in football, they think they've made it before they have - i was hoping for more from him, at 22 or whatever he is it's hardly like it'd be his last chance of a move is it? As the article states though, he'll probably want to try capitalise on this season. Stay with us in the lower leagues and it won't be long before he's forgotten about once again. And that might be it for his chances of playing at the very top level. he performs in the first division he'd get his move, same difference - i'm suggesting as fans we shouldn't be so easy in wishing the lad all the best to have to watch him shine for someone else i understand why, he's been our best player through a season of s***, personally i'd like to see a player want to play for US for a f***ing change & not act like it's the end of the world when a setback takes place This is wrong, as if Bassong wants a move abroad, it is almost unheard of for foreign teams to buy from Championship clubs. A move to a Premiership club, perhaps, if he is deemed good enough (the jury is still out on this), but Dave is right imo. er, yeah, it's likely wrong if he only wants to move abroad but since when has that been mooted like? i've only heard of the arsenal interest and wenger would buy from the championship no bother Not being awkward, but how many players has Wenger bought from the Championship. I've not heard anything from any Premiership clubs bar speculation. It's no surprise that Wenger has been linked, as he gets linked to every young French player going. And I didn't say that he *only* wants a move abroad. In any event, if he wants to go, we should let him. We might need the cash come September and need to buy players who want to stay with us. walcott? were southampton down then? the lad from cardiff also as your bit in bold i just can't agree unless it's a managerial decision to let him go for the good of the squad, the club are bigger and better than any player maybe it's time we remembered that a little more often 2 then. Ok, I was just checking. I genuinely couldn't remember. As for it being a managerial decision, I wish you were right. Players have more power than ever before, like it or not. Bassong could, for instance, simply refuse to play and the courts cannot force him to play. Sure, we could make him rot in the reserves, but he would become a depreciating asset, which is why players who want to move invariably get their move sooner rather than later. i know all that dude, this is what i'm saying: if we go down we say to bassong "give us a season of your best and if we don't go up we'll let you go for Xm. you also get a payrise of X p/w" he says no and refuses to play let him rot, chances are he'd say yes assuming it was shearer who offered the deal why just lay down like lambs to the slaughter, "oh you want to leave seba? righto then we'll look up you from the championship, best of luck son" fuck that

Sucessful top flight clubs (Everton, Lille) were after him after last season and even more successful top flight club will be after him if we go down. He has absolutely no reason to play in the Championship and if he leaves for that reason I will have nothing against him. joleon lescott...

Genuine question. I understand your point completely like; we'd all love to see our best players come out and say they're sticking with us (or say nothing) but it simply doesn't work like that any more. They hold all the power, and the club has to convince them to stay. good question, no idea, and they haven't bought bassong yet nor would i let them if i was in charge for less than 10m if shearer stays i think a few unexpecteds might hang on for a season, i'm hoping bassong is one but the noises aren't great already - we just need to make sure we get a ridiculous fee for him you see what i'm saying, i can forgive given personally 'cause he earned the "right" through some shitty times; bassongs not even played a full season in the first team and we're all wishing him the best and kissing him goodbye 'cause he did so well? fuck that someone used the term battered housewifes for a lot of people on here and i agree, why let another player walk all over the club when we need him and some loyalty? shearer stays and wants to sell him to boost the squad then no bother, it's time we stopped letting these fuckbags piss on the B & W shirt though
