N'Zogbia, because he's acted like a total prat. Although, it might be Abdoulaye Faye or something because we'll both be playing in the Championship.

Brilliant David Edgar.

I can't believe I had to fetch this from the second page! (actually, I can, it shows the state we're in ) Is Robinho playing?

But putting aside Ashley's personal wealth, should a club of our size not be able to fund transfers of its own accord? These latest figures don't make good reading and show what a mess Shepherd left us in but they do show a club shorn of debt (other than to its owner which we can ignore for the time being) which makes us one of the very few in the league in that state iirc. Seeing as much of the "loss" is this amortisation business, which is a paper loss rather than cash, these figures look to me (as someone who knows jack shit about it so please put me right) like we are one of the few clubs who can actually afford to spend rather than the other way on - especially when they don't include three season's worth of ST money from at least 25000 people (my guess). Can someone explain to me: if we can't afford to buy anyone, how the fuck can anyone else (obvious exceptions, Villa, City, Chelsea apart)? I'm not sure that the three years worth of season tickets will make a huge difference. If the club is smart, that will be going on their accounts per year, because it's stupid to put it all on one year, meaning that in one year we're going to have lots from season tickets, yet in other years we're going to have nothing. Plus, with the stadium hardly selling out these days, there's somewhere between 5,000 - 7,000 tickets going spare, which at 35 quid a pop (on average) is somewhere between £175,000 and £245,000 each match that's not getting paid in, that would have been in previous seasons.

You couldn't make it up.

The problem with Owen is that he's lazy and doesn't give a fuck. That's what it comes down to really.

Because he's an idiot.

Why is he captain? He cares absolutely 0% about the club. There's one thing Michael Owen cares about, and it's how much he'll get paid.

Need to get rid of him ASAP. Sick of his lack of effort, lack of heart. The fact that he is CLUB CAPTAIN is a disgrace. Please come in for him Man City, I'd give him to you.

It's 3 in the morning here, and I stayed up to watch. Why?

Fuck off everyone.

At least we might get half competent referees in the Championship. Is there even such a fucking thing?

If we manage to get to around the 75 minute mark at 0-0, we wont lose. Sam would be more than happy with a 0-0 draw today.

*yawn*

My guess is he'd be enjoying it a lot more if we weren't so shite as well.

Pictures on .cock of both him and Alan Smith in training.

We need to clear out all of the overpaid 'stars' that don't care about the club. Michael Owen, Mark Viduka and Geremi, if they all go, that's about 220k a week we'll be saving on wages. We need more Bassong's.

He almost never scores from outside the area The goal on the weekend was the first goal he'd scored from outside the area since November 2002. It was just outside the area too. Thats not true he scored a goal from outside the area for England last year or the year before. I remember it because everyone was saying how unlike him it was I meant in the league.

4 of them have been at home though, which isn't good enough. It's going to be a fight til the end.

Lots of nice play but we lack the finishing instinct. We'll get done here.

It's basically what he's done with 50% of the Milner money. Where's that £6million? Surely that could be used to buy at least one or two decent players instead of us having to sell first. It'd be 4.5m once you've taken away what we had to give Leeds. We spent more than we brought in last transfer window.

He signed for Gold Coast United, a new A-League club.

Where did this come from? My understanding is the same, however I'm trying to make a point on another forum and I'd like to know where it came from. Cheers.

It's quite hilarious that these media outlets keep getting the rules wrong. Anyone who plays Football Manager clearly knows the correct ones
