it's pointless being a good player if your always injured and never play. end of story.

I heard the FA were planting those kids there to encourage more Watford fans to follow premiership teams and give up supporting Watford. All part of an elaborate conspiracy to bring the club to its knees.

There's a bloke you should go and see lad, he's a specialist at curing the fear of public toliets. He uses a revolutionary treatment that involves tooting on a crack pipe then tooting on his pink pipe. His name's George Michael.

I said I thought it was a result of problems with both management (training, physio etc) and recruiting players who are injury prone and / or lazy skiving bastards. And Martins may recover from injuries fairly quickly but he also seems to pick up injuries a lot. I don't have his injury record to hand though so am just going on gut feel. Look at someone like Ronaldo. Has surgery on a serious injury and is back ahead of schedule. Compare to someone like Viduka who only bothers his fat arse to play about 1/3 of a season.

I don't have a problem with foreign fans but I know I could never just pick a side and then follow them. Personally I'll never understand how people in Surrey, Hertfordshire, Beijing, Manilla, Sydney etc can just make that decision. And I'll definitely never understand why people would choose the shitheap that is NUFC ! But credit to them for not just going down the Man U route. when I lived in Australia I followed the Roosters and Sydney Swans cos they were my local sides. Same happened in Argentina with Boca Juniors too. And I support NUFC cos I'm a born and bred geordie.

as far as I'm concerned the injury situation is not a valid excuse for our shite side. it happens season after season and normally involves the same players (Viduka, Enrique, Martins etc). it's poor player management and recruitment that is to blame.

3 nil to Blackburn our defence struggle to gel, the midfield have no creativity and the strikers get no service. ground half empty with 15 mins to go. Kinnear watching from directors box but is sacked on Monday morning. we are sold to Robert Mugabe on Wednesday and he installs the Chuckle brothers as joint managers For the everton game the team wear red noses, massive flapping shoes and green curly wigs. Nicky Butt and Steven Taylor have a custard pie fight halfway through the first half. Just before half time Duff squirts the ref in the eye using with water from a plastic flower.

No. we have a small sqaud and many players who are regularly out with injury season after season. it stinks like a fishwifes fanny.

total gash. it's going to be a long, hard season.

The two investors that we've heard are wanting to buy a club are the injuns and the arabs.

totally spot on that.

agree with every point made there. and Ashley can harp on about £20m a year of his own money on transfers plus reinvesting revenue from players, Sky etc all he wants but he's had 3 windows to invest his money in strengthening the side and we've spent fuck all in net terms and the squad is still too small. so I can deduce from the evidence that he's talking shite.

the security thing is s****. he's a football club chairman, fan hostility is in the job description. difference between hostility and assault. he wan't assaulted. he wanted to be one of the lads but in his position you can't do that. It is a job where you are in control of the emotions of hundreds of thousands of people. if things go wrong then people will be pissed off and you will have to face the consequences. if you're a chairman you will face the wrath of angry fans. you can't have your cake and eat it.

the security thing is shite. he's a football club chairman, fan hostility is in the job description.

He should have been open with the fans about his "vision" at least 12 months ago. He has fucked up royally by hinting we we were doing one thing when in reality we were doing another. He's now feeling the backlash that his web of lies has created.

Ashley was an idiot for working to the deadline, he was told that the deadline was imposed to prevent news getting out which would cause the club problems. Sir John imposed the deadline, not Ashley so whoever told you that is wrong, fact. Sorry if that appears arrogant but it's true. Not getting into a row about the deadline. I have my sources, you have yours. Agree to disagree. But if Ashley was willing to buy the club without appropriate due dilligence then he's not fit to run the club and deserves to have his fingers burnt by losing money on NUFC.

most owners / chairman will have been through this. Whether it's right or wrong it's part of having power at a football club.

Sir John gave him a deadline which didn't allow him to go through the books. well Ashley was an idiot for agreeing to it !!!! We're talking about spending hundreds of millions of £'s and he wasn't able / willing to do due dilligence ?!?!??! And the version of events I heard from people who work directly for Mort and Ashley was that it was Ashley who laid down the deadline and said "there's your offer, there's a deadline, take it or leave it"

"I accept more players in would have been better, but we've brought in 6 players this summer (1 on loan) and the only significant leavers (If you can even call them that) were Emre, Carr, Rozenhal and Ramage. People talk about the squad getting thinner but to me that's the reverse, both in numbers and in terms of quality. It's early days but I think the DoF system has proven that it's working OK so far." Given the side we fielded y'day I have to disagree with your point. How can the squad be getting stronger when we have players out of position, academy level kids on the bench and Shola starting ?

That shouldn't be overlooked but I'm sure it will by some. Just to balance out that argument shouldn't Ashley have sussed out the debt situation before buying the club. So if he found more debt than he expected then it's his own fault. Who spends hundreds of millions without thoroughly researching what they're buying ?

"why the f*** did he not put this statement (minus the selling bit) out the day the keegan thing started. This is all it would have taken for the whole episode not to have happened." this is the question all fans of NUFC should be asking the club. He's waited till the s*** hit the fan before being honest with us. That's the most infuriating thing

the bloke had the right idea in general and had he been in charge in 1994 then maybe scouring the globe and spending £20m a year would have done us right. however this is 2008, when average players like Milner cost £12m. plus we have a piss thin squad with a lot of injury plagued individuals and have to spend some big money just to catch up to our realistic rivals (Pompey, Everton, Citeh, Spurs, Villa). On the plan Ashley has unveiled we would have been a bottom half side for the best part of a generation. And it would have been nice if he'd been up front and honest with us in May 08 rather than spending all summer talking shite about how the money was there for the players we wanted. It's called "managing expectations". The reality is its needed an absolute shitstorm before he has finally been honest about his vision and the state of the club.

Houghton was forced to take control of the side today. Shola has been masquerading as a premiership footballer for at least 3 years and we are pig fooking sick of it.

WE ARE A FUCKING JOKE. THIS IS JUSTIFIED BY HOW OFTEN SHITPILE TEAMS COME UP HERE AND TAKE 3 POINTS.

HE IS SHITE. the lad is a geordie so he gets some leeway but for fucks sake if you deny he was shite today and against arsenal then you need you head testing. he is not good enough to lead the line for a league 1 side but gets a start for NUFC. that says it all.
