200 pages in a month? Fucking hell, I'm not reading all that.

I love the SBR Foundation on the shirts idea. I also think there should be a minute's silence, followed by a minutes applause.

Either means: 1) sale is close 2) sale isn't going to happen and Hughton has a bit more control

It devestates me how Bobby has passed whilst the club is at it's lowest ebb, well really since he was the manager.

Has there been any extra news on this since last night? I need a last hyped-up report from someone before I depart for the sun!

I wasn't going to come online this morning as I'm leaving for the airport in just over two hours, but having heard this mornings sad news I felt compelled to come and leave a tribute. Sir Bobby Robson was one of the greatest men in football - not only a gentleman, a funny man, a great manager and a husband, but also an icon for football. Without a doubt his tenure at St James Park was a blessing, I feel honoured that Bobby was at our club. This mornings news has deeply saddened me and I shed a tear on seeing Sky Sports News as it broke. He was also a great player, capped 20 times by England, and had the honour of managing his country, with the best record in a major tournament since 1966. As someone on SSN said, the word "legend" is overused, but Sir Bobby is certainly a legend of the game. RIP Bobby. Best wishes to your family and close friends. The game has lost one of it's most interesting and iconic characters, and you will be sorely missed.

You just know there'll be some knob dancing around outside SJP with an inflatable nuclear warhead. The thought of that just made me burst out laughing. Cheers.

Followed by an "urgh..." quick change of subject, class.

Why the fuck is everyone so sure this is a wind-up? I'll be the first to step back and admit I got it wrong if it is indeed bollocks, but at the moment we have no proof either way. Let's just wait until we get news one way or the other before we jump to conclusions.

now Yorkie has joined in, although I'm not sure if its him or someone on the windup?

"GeordieMatt" has already made a thread and tried to find out, I've asked for some confirmation whether this guy exists or not.

I spotted the hidden joke btw. Get in.

A one week rolling contract might be more appropriate.

You realise that his name is only Sirous Mahjoob in the Western alphabet, and if his dealings have only been in Arab nations thus far then there is no reason for him to be on English google? Precisely. You lot must be smoking some serious shit when James is the voice of reason and logic.

There's about as much proof that this is bollocks that there is for this being truth. 50-50.

3-1, another goal, great too from Delfounseso.

2-1 england, delfouenso rebound.

This had better not be a fucking hoax.

class header but correctly ruled offside. Looked lively since coming on.

1-1, 15 mins to go. Ranger replaces Danny Welbeck.

Maybe it's the leader of the Movementarians?

Anyone else think that this is just a cunning ploy so that Dave can win the admin sweepstake for number of pages this thread can accumulate before a sale? He actually knows we're being sold to Shepherd next week and needs some filler before he can hit his 280 page target and win a bag of crisps off the rest of the admin teams.

Oh one more drink and then I'll go But there's one more thing I've got to know Does he take you places that I don't? What happened to the story that we wrote? You just say you don't know, you don't know Oh no you don't know, you don't know Oh let's just get this whole thing straight I don't wanna kidnap the truth and negotiate Or miss the point that they met you Just wanna hear you say something that you believe to be true You say you don't know, you don't know You just say you don't know, you don't know What it feels like What it feels like And so I'll go before I fall to pieces Yes I'll go before I fall to pieces Now I'm just waiting for something that might never come If it's a million to one shot I'll make sure I won Seems that nothing is safe, except the truth turns to lies Never figured it out, I figured out why So I'll go, yes I'll go Yes I'll go, yes I'll go Oh baby I'll go, oh yes I'll go Yes I'll go, oh yes I'll go Before I fall to pieces Before I fall to pieces Yes I'll go before I fall to pieces Yes I'll go before I fall to pieces
