I don't believe that Journal article at all, hopefully its just there to calm us down a bit because this is by no means a done deal. ashley is in hawaii?? what a total bellend. although this meeting today is to find a compromise, so its positive he hasnt outright rejected it and is willing to negotiate.

i'll believe it when i see it. west brom agree a fee for mattock..........this summer can hardly get any worse. I find it funny that West Brom signing random kids from League 1 is what is making this summer bad for you. a) he's in the Championship now b) i said it's making it worse

i'd be very disappointed in habib if this happens. partly because hull are guaranteed relegation, but mostly because he can do so much better.

big day then. will common sense prevail??

not happy with the fee, especially after the £10m bid had me dreaming of £12m+ figures. not happy with the club and manager he's signed for.....signing for spurs just makes him more dislikeable now not happy that its one of the players shearer wanted to keep, so how will he react to this? we could easily have haggled for more and turned it into a bidding war towards his market value, instead of caving in

oh by the way, if this goes through we're having a massive forum-wide piss up!!!!

he is absolutely thick enough. but there comes a moment when even he has to say enough is enough.....he's inflicted more than enough torture on us and all he needs is a moment of sanity. accept it mike, please.

come on thomo....

ARRRRGGGHHH!!!! good news *must not listen, must not listen*. if i ignore it, it cant possibly hurt me!

Olofinjana is now going to Hull instead. Bet he's loving the change from Monaco to Hull

Don't know if we had one of these last year, but here it goes: Premiership Top 4 (in order): Man United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal Relegation (in order): Wolves, Birmingham, Hull (but Pompey and Wigan should watch out!!) Dark horses: Sunderland to be 9th , Michael Owen, Nikola Kalinic Top Scorer: Fernando Torres Championship Promotion: Middlesbrough, Sheff Utd, WBA (Playoffs: Reading, WBA, Notts Forest, Cardiff) - Newcastle to finish 15th Relegation: Plymouth, Blackpool, Scunthorpe Dark horses: Notts Forest, Derby, Bristol City, David Clarkson, George Boyd Top Scorer: Michael Chopra League One Promotion: Leeds, Millwall, Huddersfield League Two Promotion: Notts County, Shrewsbury, Bury, Rotherham League Cup: Chelsea FA Cup: Man United Europe La Liga: Barcelona Serie A: Juventus Bundesliga: Stuttgart Europa League: Dinamo Moscow Champions League: Chelsea Other World Player of the Year: Messi Who'll be NUFC's top scorer?: Shola Ameobi How many will Nile Ranger score?: 7 First Premiership Managerial casualty: Paul Hart (closely followed by Alex McLeish) Where will Man City finish?: 5th (very nearly 4th) Will Gareth Bale win a match?: Yes

i dont know how mad this sounds, but at the moment i'd rather ashley took the club off the market and got a proper manager in, players etc. than let this charade fruitlessly go on and on. because at the end of the day its what happens ON the pitch thats important and that needs sorting ASAP.

for the first time in years, liverpool were genuine contenders and then they throw it all away. by virtually standing still this summer, chelsea are closer to the title!

Agreed with Bristol City. I also like the look of Derby and Forest.

i feel sorry for granero. real madrid bought him back after "giving up" on alonso, he shined in a recent friendly, and now he's being shunted down another place.

their predicted table is probably the best ive seen.....maybe swap leicester and QPR and put bristol city a bit higher. only at newcastle can FFT and the independent predict you to finish 1st, yet the times say 20th. when are we gonna have the NO predictions 2009-10?

is stephen appiah still on a free?

Realistically it'll be either O' Leary, Venables or Hughton......but I'd like Lee Clark, Steve Clarke, John Carver, Paul Jewell, Iain Dowie or Darren Ferguson. Or in fact anybody that'd dare.

the thread title is wrong, its not been proven to be bollocks. thomo isnt wrong yet, so theres no need for all the depression. however for those with no hope, the samaritans hotline is 08457 90 90 90 thomo mate, is it possible to have a word with your ITK and get an update?? we're becoming savages

Thomo, Obi, Supermac, The Chronicle's earlier than normal news, some transfer market movement..........the stars are starting to align. if this doesnt happen there'll be a riot.
