I am sure it would be agreed between Ashley and the relative investors, prior to any money chainging hands, about where their boundaries were and who makes what decisions. I have faith that they would make sure that any investors wouldnt try to start rocking the boat at a later date

Thinking back to 12 months ago and the Austrian Training Camp thread, the optimism at that time was incredibly high. I think everyone this year is a little hesitant to be as optimistic just in case it all happens again and that huge balloon gets burst again. Personally cant see it being anything like the first half of last season as I have every faith in Kevin but I can understand why people are hesitant to get their hopes up again.

To be fair, if thats what he said to Golfmag, he is hardly telling us anything we probably didnt know already. If he didnt give names out then I am sure he is probably telling most people the same thing. He has hardly given much away

yup... another slow news day so its roll out the anti - newcastle stories. As sure as night follows day. Seriously tiresome now. Cant believe even they arent bored of it.

Dont know why, but the final comment of " with Manchester United monitoring the situation. " really made me laugh for its total stab-in-the-darkishness

Oh for fucks sake. How basic an error is that

Bit rough on the fans though when all of the bastards who are to blame for it all have fucked off from the place As ever, fans are always the ones that suffer

and bang goes a thread reminicing about one of our best ever former players

Didnt see it but am guessing Brian Kilcline

He gonna get Facebook Pow Pow Pow !

Quality of journalism in this country must be he lowest that its ever been. Would I be right in thinking that this story has appeared just days before the players return for pre-season training. Call me cynical but would they be starting as early as possible this season to unsettle the club and its staff ??

Agreed mate

Excellent cut to Lehmens face there

Another team playing in red wins something. Can we get rid of the black and white

I wish Ballack would Fuck Off. Always in the ref's face

Game is coming to life now

How can Podolski complain when he runs up to the guy and puts his forehead on the other guy's. Not condoning what the spaniard if but if Podolski hadnt done what he did then the thing would never have happened. I always think that looks such a childish thing to do.... run up to another man and put your forehead on his.. what is it meant to do ??

If their luck is in yes but on performance cant see it. Motson was right when he said Spain were coasting it

Did think it was a goal it was that quiet. Great finish

Luck with the germans tonight ?

I picked up on that... what a knob

Having read through the 3 pages of very much spot on comments I ask myself... who at ITV and the BBC employs these useless arseholes ?? There must be better people out there with intelligent or genuinely witty things to say

As opposed to David Pleat, Andy Townsend, Robbie Earle and Sam Allardyce? There proves how difficulit a choice it was but it came down to commentary (I just channel hop at half time to blank them all out) and of them all, I decided Lawrenson and Bright (in particular) boils my piss more than the rest.

Cant believe that I am the only one so far to choose ITV. I have based my decision on the commentary side of things and I dont like ITV much either but they win over a channel that thinks Mark Lawrenson, Mark Bright, Garth Crooks and that woman are valuable members of their team.

I can't fucking believe it! I missed Lahm's goal! I have done exactly the fucking same
