Don't know. If you're right then superb! We need all the positive things we can get atm:) I added that mostly because of the Newcastle dialect: ‘Why aye man’, ‘Canny lad’ and ‘Alreet pet’ I've never used the words canny and whenever I see you guys write it, I can't stop thinking of a hermetic can with something in it...

Second that. Still though, if Ashley's staying he needs to learn from the Spurs' chairman, and he needs to invest superheavy. I can't see that happening. It's such a tragic situation... I'm lost for words. So I have to stick with my "Ashley out"...

I know it's The Sun, but.... Link: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/article1880119.ece

disaster!

Ruth! Ruth! Baby Ruth! Choclit hurrrrrrr Jimmy Bullard and him... mackems.gif Oh... Pakistan is no better : http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12343_4378995,00.html

I wont as long as they make over 100m worth of bids in one day like Man City did. I certainly hope we don't. It's a stupid idea to flash your wallet, cause it'll only result in greedy persons and clubs demanding ridiculous money for their players.I'd much rather have us put in some sensible bids. You know, one of the reasons we've blown away good money on shittty players comes down to the lack of a proper scouting and long-term managers. And I certainly don't want to see Kinnear spend big money on the next Ali Dia. I'd much rather do what James suggests.

Agreed!

Howay the lads!! For those of you who are attending the game, go get them! I'll be watching the game here in Norway, but together we stand!!

SSDD

Desperation, surely!

Robson = Legend "

Stabæk won Tippeligaen in Norway today after 2-1 against Brann...

Past: Chris Sutton (playing for Blackburn with Shearer) Now: Torres, Ronaldo, Martins

but why NUFC? this isn't having a go,just curious Glory hunter. mackems.gif I became a fan when Shearer signed, because I've always been a Shearer fan. So when I got to know that he was from Newcastle and that Newcastle was one (if not his most) favorite club, I didn't have a problem with supporting Newcastle when he retired Why would I ever support Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal or Liverpool? (Ok, got to admit I like the way Arsenal play - fucking love it) but other than that, we have the greatest (and strangest) fans in England. We have the coolest kits too... (except Everton's 3rd kit, which is pink?) haha... We have passion, and you know.. once you pick your favorite club you can't change it... you can add other clubs, but they won't ever be your first favorite ever.... it is easier to break up with your girl and find another, then it is to quit supporting your favorite club and find new favorite.

foreigner here... Norway... look at the map in the link... look for North Cape http://www.scantours.com/Maps/images/9_N_Cape__Lofoten.jpg

maybe a bit hyped, but I think there are some valid statement in there. Go back, what(?), 11 year or so and we almost won. We had a very good team with Batty, Ginola, Les, Shearer et al. the Keegan "haters" can call me naive, but I support Keegan for walking out. Arguing he could have walked earlier is just as true (in many ways) as if you were to decide when to have the flu (so, for most of us that would be never). I hope that some rich ass people buy us, don't have to be that rixh necessarily.. but enough to have at least some transfer budget to work on, next to a manager in full control of incoming and outgoing players. Bringing Keegan back is (in many ways) a good thing, unfortunately he has got this "quitter" reputation haning over him like a dark fog. But if Keegan gets back, I'm sure he can life the club up, cheer the local people up and even bring in decent players to build a similar sqd. to the 90s.

Enrique ain't that bad. Like one guy above said, he's only 22 years old. Despite the fact that some will say this comes down to professionalism, one can hide the fact that playing under (what?) his third manager in just a year might have some effect...

True. I don't get it, how this guy has managed to survive for so long in or squad by the way. At times he prove to be useful (to the extent that well, he is there - we are 11 men (in terms of human beings) on the pitch... but for the most part he does not live up to EPL standard. On top of that it seems like he snubs every opportunity to leave and play regular first team football elsewhere. I just don't get it... When we get new owners in, along with a new (and hopefully more permanent) manager, I hope they make enough money available to replace the remaining deadwood...

2-2 ?!?! I didn't have the time off to watch this game, just checked in here and at a live-update football page online once in a while. Obsessed with my master thesis, I forgot to see what happened in second half, so when I came back on I see we managed 2-2 away at Everton. Almost like 3-points So anyone care to just give me a quick sum up? Just read Colo had a nightmare out there.He'll improve though, I still rate him, and think he'll prove to be a good buy given some time. What's up with subbing Enrique with Bassong that early on, and what on earth does Ameobi do on the pitch? Taylor seems to have a tough time, right? Still scored a goal Haha, you guys seen that the SUN have had this guy up in Newcastle, apperently the ground/area is cursed?

We'll be sold shortly...each day passing by with the club in its current messthe bids Ashley recieve will only decrease...

In short: Yes! Welcome back, Kevin.

Second

You were wearing a man u top to a toon game?? I had Chelsea shorts on though? It is no way to treat a man in front of his wife in a public toilet. Excuse my bad English I am from Mumbai, it is hard to speak here. Surely this has got to be a joke? I'm not saying it's OK to have people pissing on you, but to me it sounds like you ask for some sort of reaction when you turn up at SJP in a man utd shirt combined with a chelski shorts. It's a pretty funny outfit to wear in the first place And tbh your situation has little to do with you the fact that you are a foreign supporter, different skin color etc. I'd be a fool to attend the West Ham - Newcastle match in April wearing my toon kit among the WHU fans or even show up with the Toon Army wearing a sunderland shirt. (god forbid that, what's sunderland's kit anyway? Do they have any at all? ) GOLD. I was following this thread and maze was making a really good point, everything he was saying was making perfect sense, the minute he posted this post i started to believe he might be wrong. Strange. Because this guy followed it up by saying: If however you find him to be serious, and IF he in fact is serious, then I think it's still strange to bring this up in this particular thread, because: quote author=Golden Glory link=topic=56648.msg1515067#msg1515067 date=1222629102] On the topic of other teams shirts in a complete different stadium, every other f***ing week at Vicarage Road, you see some little fuckers wearing Chelsea/Arsenal/Manure tops. I always see one little (or not so little, the most obese 10 year old I've ever seen) s*** with a Manure shirt with Rooney 10 on the back, walking up and down the front of the stand. Little t*** should stay at home and not watch Watford, plastic little t***. I also was going to make a joke about Saracens kits being worn at the Vic when it's a complete different sport, but an actual truthful anecdote is much better. Oh, and the linesman was wearing a Reading kit the other week, w*****. Of this you can clearly understand that other people do the same at other stadiums, but I doubt people are mind-readers and attack someone just because they are foreigner. Now that would be racism. And this thread was not created to discuss racism. In fact Alan Shearer 9 could have been from England or UK for that matter, and he could still have ended up in that situation. Noww, I'm not defending rude and bad things to against eash other at all. The way he brought it up with his replies just sounded like he was making a joke about it like.. "I was wearing a man utd top sitting with the home fans at SJP" .... people respond... and he follows it up by saying "I was also wearing Chelsea shorts" ... eeeh OK.... Thing is though, whether you're a foreigner or not (really doesn't matter) you have to be cautious. Hopefully most of the hooligan culture is gone, but the game is still struggling wih racism and people that lose control during the match. Dressing yourself up with other teams kit is a risky business. That is risky other places as well, not just in England, and risky at other clubs than Newcastle as well. We could easily discuss this till we die. As much as fighting racism and bullies is important, the whole point with this thread goes a long the lines of what musika,kaizero et al. has been writing. So, I'm sorry that you think I'm wrong, but you are entitled to think whatever you like.

Difficult question to answer without some more info about figures and numbers. However, it is reasonable to think In addition to some sort of profit/pay-out... that is by definition at a minimal the interest rate in the bank. Other ways of thinking of it would be whatever pay-off Ashley would have recieved investing his money elsewhere (that is what he does other than investing in football clubs).. it's simple academic word for this, I only know the norwegian word.. but in English it'd probably something like opportunity/alternative cost of investment.
