Consortium of one

I've the feeling that at this point in his career, Rafa is more keen on building a squad rather than walking into something already made. I certainly don't think he would be interested in a stress factory like Chelsea and I'm not all that sure he'd even like to manage in London. I really think that Newcastle is the apple of his eye and even a cunt like Ashley may not be able to drive him off.

Climbed on the bandwagon summer of '07. Go me.

Rafa is, quite simply, one of my heroes.

I thought he was stupid and scatterbrained runnung NUFC. It appears he is the same way with all his other holdings, as well.

As long as there is hope that he will stay, I am content. If MA screws this up...

4/10. Started too late. We'll probably stay up now.

Dummett could be cover for the back and LWB.

what the.... please, please, please don't add 10 min. of extra time...

"Shit! Who unplugged the fax machine?"

If Ashley owns the club, God, himself, as manager couldn't help.

he's my gyro

Rafa has to know that no one is coming in.

no signings, Rafa not staying, all is lost.

BOOM

have we touched base or are we just monitoring?

Nothing is going to happen. No last minute transfers. No multiple loan options to sort out out. It's bullshit.

Dennis Wise? Is that slimy piece of a hairball really back in the picture?

As the old saying goes (here in the states), some managers are better off driving a Chevy and others are better off driving a Cadillac. Warnock is Chevy guy, Moyes is a Chevy guy. Mourinho can only drive Caddies. Benitez? He can drive anything.

Ashley will drive the club right into the ground. Cunning and stupid is a bad combination.

who's got a number for Peter? I can spare $500.00 from my emergency savings.

This is the part I don't get. How can SD advertise in SJP without creating a taxable event? Nothing is free when taxes are involved. If SJP is giving away free advertising for non-charity purposes then that means another company is benefitting from that free advertising and that advertising has a value so that value could be taxed. If it could be taxed it has to be recorded as income (for SJP). Granted no money is actually changing hands but...

I don't have any money to spare but I certainly do exist.

If Fat Mike sells players, does it reduce the price?

PLAN A: no PLAN B: no PLAN C: no PLAN D: no PLAN E: NO PLAN F: NO PLAN G: NO! PLAN H: NO! PLAN I: NO, NO, NO PLAN J: Joselu? YES!
