I can hear the Leeds fans fairly loudly through the radio singing "Your support is fucking shit" so obviously not very good.

Aye, someone just calld you a fat kebab-eating bastard. Two out of three ain't bad.

Is there Live chronicle text chat thingy?

The anti-Dyer. Looked brilliant thus far in pre-season, I hope he gets plenty of match time. Fortunately, I think that Hughton is fairly happy to play the young lads if they're good enough, unlike Kinnear who was happy to let them rot in the reserves in favour of the "old heads".

just spotted this. I'm flattered.

Aye, surely give it to Taylor with it being a friendly.

Indeed it does.

I think you can get Radio Newcastle on the web if it's just a friendly mate, its only the Premiership games that it stops at kickoff (I think).

I would really only label Harper, Taylor and Carroll as "loyal" because they're fans of the club etc, I dunno about some of the others and I dunno about most of the kids. However, even the "loyal" players would leave if someone in the PL matched their wages at least imo.

More chance of seeing Megan Fox dance naked in Fenwicks window.

The last few words of that article drive me fucking insane. "efforts are continuing". The thing that seems quite weird is that if Ashley was so desperate to wash his hands of the club, he'd be going all out to sell it. But to me, Seymour Pierce, Ashley, Llambias, everyone: they don't seem arsed about getting rid of it quickly. Surely a sale should be push and pull, not just one (pull, in this case seemingly). I just get this vision of them sitting in an office with all the fans on, shirts unbuttoned, with faces like smacked arses sitting staring at the phone, waiting for it to ring. Something is a bit fishy about this whole sale, there doesn't seem to be any urgency from Ashley whatsoever, which I find funny because he's a man who thinks in cold hard cash, and our players wages alone will be draining money from his coffers every single day that goes by.

Not bad that tbf. To Dave, not cp40.

He was fucking crap for the reserves at Hillheads the other week, if that helps.

Yeah, same here.

Had the spine almost totally ripped out of their side, I really do fear for Pompey next season. You cannot replace a central midfield of Diarra and Muntari with Hayden Mullins and Richard Hughes ffs, they are backup players at best.

Following the Ashley model tbh.

I'd sooner have Bent for £15m than Crouch for £10-12m. I disagree. Bent was always a one season player, not really that good imo, nowhere near worth £15m. It's silly how many players are living on the back of one very prolific season yet manage to get big money transfers - Adebayor, Santa Cruz, Bent, Andy Johnson, James Beattie etc.

You wanting it for a dartboard or something?

Bet we're giving away free home kits or stadium tours with every due diligence. Probably just fuckers looking to get those for nowt. Reminds me of that Simpsons episode when Homer takes a test drive in the expensive car just for the free spa tickets.

35 with Kinnear. 110 if a new manager comes in. 1500 if we go down. Almost.

Means very little does this latest news. Nice to have a title change though.

It was Ibrahimovic unless he's changed it very recently.

Kind of hope djmattis see's this Me too. fyp
