I still think Trevor Sinclair's is better.

Yep, with Harry Kewell and Milan Baros up top. Fucking staggering isn't it

Liverpool were once 3-0 down at half time in the CL Final. No way has Salah's injury blown it for them.

Don't do it to yourself mate

Life at Derby must be pretty shit if Stoke is a step up.

WOW

Can only dream of enjoying a day like the Eintracht Frankfurt fans are.

Fucking hell

And that's the main point to consider when looking at the salaries figure. They've essentially brought forward £30m of future salaries costs and dumped it into this financial year inflating the 'accounting loss' Also worth noting that in cash flow terms we've lost £25m in the year, which is more of a 'real world' figure to look at. so what they've accounted for paying all of the salary costs for certain players up front in last years accounts, is that what you mean? Basically. Essentially said Tom, Dick and Harry are no longer part of the first team squad, their contracts are therefore onerous and they've provided for all future costs of those contracts in this financial year. Means they're accounting for full cost of them, regardless of whether they manage to get them off the books in the future, in this accounting period. They'll not have not actually paid out any of that £30m in cash though. that is fucking diabolical like, absolutely ridiculous It's standard accounting practice in football tbh. i'll bow to your superior knowledge but it's the first i've heard if it How many use it as an excuse not to spend though ?

100% correct.

It feels like Rafa is the last great thing that will happen to NUFC in my lifetime. I'm only 46. No way back for me if Ashley forces him out.

Sam Allardyce fans. Fucking hell

QPR bound, IIRC? He is tbf but just I thought it would be funny if they poached him. He has been successful in England and Europe after all

Could be Steve McClaren

100%. That's the stance Rafa needs to take. Hard to get people to agree to join the club when the managers future is up in the air though. As much as I'd love him to take the same stance. Ultimately, that still rests on Ashley's shoulders. If we can't sign players because Rafa hasn't committed, the finger still gets pointed at Ashley. No lose situation for Rafa as far as I am concerned. I want him to take that stance. But if he then stays he's screwed himself. He would, I agree, but only for a maximum of 12 months. He'll still be much sought after that time. I have no doubt that he'd have options available to him therefore he can be honourable to his contract and also fuck Ashley at the same time by not allowing him to get any compensation when he leaves the club. It's a shame that Ashley wont really care a jot

Ashley fucking Young

The man employed Joe Kinnear. Twice. Absolutely anything is possible.

The good news for Ashley is that David Moyes is now available.

Tragic news RIP

Pardew. Such a charlatan.

Being like that is what gets him erect so he isn't going to change.
