Its not unusual canny that players come here, and turn into shit players you know.

Didn't hear that, what did he say?

Now I am not for one minute suggesting the old board were anywhere near as bad as Ashley (they clearly weren't) but I seem to remember lists of reasons why "fat fred had to go" and obviously this billionaire fella was going to have us back challenging for Europe. I don't know all the ins and outs but the one constant I have read is Mort trying to get enough investment to take the club over which is what causes my worry. What if he does take over and we don't get promoted, will he be able to afford us running at a loss for another season, will he be able to keep the players and reinvest to push for promotion again next season? He might well be able to do all these things, these are just my concerns. I want Ashley and his mob out as soon as is possible, but only if its going to be an improvement. For all fat freds faults and there was plenty of them, he tried a lot harder to achieve something with the club than ashley ever will (alot of the current money problems are his fault). We can only hope that Mort and his backers do have a sound plan to run the club, rather than ashleys jobs for the boys method. Like has been stated already if we get taken over before January and a small investment is made by Mort's lot then the money we make from the prem status will help us progress and stablise. If we get promoted under ashley can you see any investment coming from him, or will he use the money to remove the debts and hope for prem survival ? Anyway this is all based on a huge assumption that mort will be the new owner. I have no faith in Ashley doing anything to take this club forward, I am just worried about someone else taking over who doesn't have the resources to take us forward (and maybe even slip further back) if we don't make it up this season. This is all assumptions based on what I have read in the papers but then a forum would be a bit quiet without the occasional discussion from an assumption. My fear is Mort as a fan is thinking with his heart instead of his head and gambling on us going up first time without a real "plan" on what to do if we don't. Am I missing something??

Wise is in the Sky studio for the Chelsea v Liverpool game, Richard Keys says he has promised to talk about NUFC, but not until much later (in the programme)

Timmy, Timmy Krul Timmy, Timmy Krul There's gotta be something better than that for our future No 1?

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Thats fucking awful!! wtf??

Great to watch, with the 3 lads recalling the great times at Newcastle, and reminding me of how good we were (long, distant memories!) Bit that suprised me, and which sounded like the point it all started to go wrong, was when we signed Shearer, and Sir Les had to give up the no. 9 shirt, which the lads said narked him, and then narked Clarkie, who, in turn, had to give up the no. 10 shirt for Sir Les. So Mary Poppins started the rot then. Never liked him as a person....(admired him as a player though)

Nail. On. Head. Great post.

An absolute legend. He used to sit behind me at SJP and always acknowledged me and my family. Met him at a reserve game at Kingston Park and he came across as a genuinely nice guy with no airs and graces (should that be hiers and graces?). Would love to see him as part of our backroom staff again. Also has a great sense of humour...as his clips on YouTube show, especially the Fantasy Football and the stand up clips (not sure if I can paste links here, so I won't). Couldnt imagine many of the current prima donnas taking the piss out of themselves as Pedro does. My all time favourite NUFC legend. Over-rated? nah....

Sorry like, but I thought it was a good piece....I can relate to everything that she says. I am as sick as fuck of this club, but I don't have the excuse of living in London as a reason not to come and support them. I just wished I lived near Manchester, not in Alnwick!

Dont you just love translations!!

Been reading all the stuff on here about him being a tosser who thinks he has made it, and I suppose I was maybe 'brain-washed' into agreeing with it all, so took the decision to start him with a bit of derision (even though I thought he did great against Juve in the pre-season friendly) But I was wrong, and thought he had a great game today, really putting himself about and holding the ball well, as well as scoring a good goal. Well done to him. I, for one, will be giving him more of a chance from now on.

I totally agree. Bet he will be at a better club in 18 months time though.....

Never seen that site before! Very interesting, especially the bad passes bit. I thought Jose had a poor game.

+ Peter Lovenkrands No, none of them http://www.rangers.premiumtv.co.uk/page/Squad/Profiles/0,,5~7178,00.html Work your way through the squad until you find a match. It was Lee McCulloch, but I was told he was only accompanying Boyd, NOT signing aswell Cheers Al. Who told you that? Scottish guy who sits along from me who had a Glasgow Rangers hat on, who had his photo taken with Boyd. I had to ask him who it was.

what did the other rangers player look like? I am not sure I just posted the above before MyPalAl did for the 3rd time. Seem Gers fans are not keen on Boydie leaving: http://www.facebook.com/s.php?ref=search&init=q&q=Kris%20Boyd&sid=9bf07afbbc10474af6d3a6294dc28bae#/wall.php?id=33475850142 Any need for that? I did put a on when I realised my cock up

You must sit in the Milburn Milburn/Leazes corner, just near where the players exec box is.

Have you tried the Kris Boyd thread yet?

Just posted this in the thread about todays game, but is maybe should be in here instead; Haven't read the rest of the thread, so don't know if it has been mentioned already that Kris Boyd was at the game today, and was sitting behind me with his dad, younger brother and another Rangers player (whose name I have forgotten). He was sitting just along from the mighty Nile Ranger, and the wonderful Habib Beye, in the hospitality box where the non playing players sit. He stayed right til the end, and didn't nick off before the end to miss any paps.

Surprised at reading this thread tbh, as from where I was sitting, it sounded as is everyone booed Geremi off, but cheered when Zog came on .

Is this not just a re-hash of the story that ran late on the last day of the last window, when we were supposedly involved in some threesome or other, with him going to Pompey then?
