Well done Jose son Nailed on to score against Arsenal

Agreed

what a wonderful post full of (man) love

And the fact he can't pass, run or header makes him an even bigger c*** in my eyes. Total waste of time, he should have stayed at Brum, that was his standard at the time and he has only got worse since! That's a load of bollocks tbh Spot on. Were "Taff" or "Kryten" at Hull, where Butt held things together single-handed? Were they even at the Everton home game, when he was outstanding? Did they watch the last dozen or so games of last season, when he performed well week in, week out? Yes, he's nowhere near the player he was, but the abuse he gets on here says far more about this board than him. My advice to him is to get a hair transplant and grow a bubble perm or pony-tail. Then he might get the same easy ride as Colo and Jonas (both vv poor recently) on here. Then maybe we should drop Colo and Jonas and see if that makes us play better football? It didn't seem to have much effect last season when Keegan had great lads like, Duff, Smith and Milner to call on as well as Butt and Geremi, but because Butt is saying all the right things it must be someoene else's fault that our midfield is s*** and SLOW. tbf mate no one's saying Butt should play because he talks sense or is a good lad. When he's fresh and not over-played, he plays quite well tbh. He just can't play week in week out, and can't play 2 games a week. Sorry like but if you watch the Hull game for example you'll see that Butt contributed far more positives to the team than Jonas did all game.

I fucking hate birmingham city though tbh. It's an unjustified hatred really....but I just think of really bad curry poo when I think of or read the name of the club

Wolves Birmingham Preston Few seconds too late

Money's on Wolves, Brum and PNE

Howay man, can you blame anyone for feeling this way? It's a fucking terrifying thought, and being positive is a lot better than being negative. Realistically yes we're a poor side, and we could easily go down if we don't pull our fingers out. But the reality also is that we still have games left with which we can save ourselves. Rather focus on that than on how shit we are tbh

IP ban-tastic

I guess that means you think we're one of them? I fear the worst, but I've been looking at the mackems fixtures. Every season for about 30 years I've put a 2 quid bet on with my mackem mate who will finish highest between us. Remember back then 2 quid would have bought 2 pints of beer. He asked me for my 2 quid last night and I said f*** off the season ain't over yet !!!!!

Is that a "no" then? It's a yes. http://www.bbc.co.uk/somerset/content/images/2005/05/24/jim_trott_203x152.jpg wow James, you're on a funny roll today

Massive pressure must be exerted on the club to thank Kinnear and Hughton for their services, and remove them from their positions at the end of the season. All the while using this time to search for and identify candidates to take over on the 2nd day of the close season. This is the only scenario that would allow me personally to continue to support and believe in Ashley's regime and vision for the club.

seems that it's been settled now from the BBC: West Ham and Sheffield United have reached an out-of-court settlement over the long-running Carlos Tevez saga. Tevez helped West Ham achieve Premier League survival in 2006/2007 while the Blades were relegated. The Blades argued Tevez was ineligible to play and an independent hearing ruled in favour of their claim for compensation from West Ham. A compensation figure has not been disclosed but the BBC understands it is in the region of £15m in instalments.

IMO their bigger mistake was hiring Keegan in the first place, and the situation we find ourselves in is a direct result of that mistake. The only way they can rectify this is by letting JK go in the summer and bringing in someone worth their salt to start the rebuilding and get us playing some good football getting the best out of what we have.

Thing is mate, for me it's no longer about relegation. If we get relegated, we deserve it as we really have been shit all season. If we stay up, then we will have done well. But it's not about that anymore. I'm more concerned about the future of the club and the direction we're moving in. I know I will be misunderstood when I say this, but I would prefer a scenario where we spend a season in the championship with a bright young manager with ideas than survive and spend another season in the top flight with Kinnear in charge.

probs KD and some mackem twat

But it's like us signing Andy Cole now, at age 39, and saying give him a full season to prove he's good enough! Joe Kinnear will never be good enough in this day and age. Agree ENTIRELY with the letter btw

:smitten: for the pair

My sentiments exactly.

This!! Must be made captain next season.

That's what I'm confident of as well. They never have an easy time up here, and hopefully we will prove it again.

I think Nile Ranger is one of those players who might go stale if not introduced to the first team early enough. IMO he should have been played while he was on that shit hot scoring streak. Players like Owen, Rooney and Fabregas may have never made it if they weren't given their chances as early on as they were. Must play for the first team before the season is out. I have a feeling he'd do well.

double :thup: for both posts mojorisin

The more you criticise the ownership of the club the more I become convinced what a set of twats the NUSC are, last week you were trying to convince us that you werent anti-ashley, yet every post is...Anti-ashley. Im not pro-ashley im pro-NUFC and moaning about ashleys running of the club isnt goint to achieve anything. Your a t*** and so are the rest of NUSC. What has this got to do with the NUSC? Let's not derail. I'm pro-NUFC. You think endorsing Ashleys actions is going to achieve something? You have been using this forum to promote NUSC therefore your comments are indicative of NUSC comments, on one hand your saying your not anti ashley on the other your using every thread to criticism him, I couldnt give a f*** who owns the club, I just care about the team out on the pitch that i pay to watch. Have i endorsed him? If i did what would it mean? f*** all. Have i set up an anti ashley supporters club and called it NUSC? and if i did what would it achieve? f*** all. What do you think of how we've performed on the pitch in the last couple of years then? What would have to happen on the pitch before you started thinking the people in charge were incompetent? Relegation? Weve performed poorly under sounsess, roeder, allardyce and Kinnear. Very well under robson and keegan (both times), honours even i would say. Success on the pitch would not convince me the owners were competent or incompetent, the two events are not as clearly related as you are making out. Are liverpool a well owned club? Are west ham a well owned club? theres a difference between well owned and well run, and an even bigger difference to a well managed side. relegation would kill me, as it would most NUFC supporters. Now ive answered your questions honestly, i would appreciate it if you did the same. Why have you decided to feed on the misery of NUFC supporters to form a so-called supporters club to feed the media hysteria surrounding our club? WHy are you charging people for this pleasure? Who gave you the mandate to speak on behalf of the majority of us who realise its about more than Mike ashley? I believe you saw a opportunity to take advantage of the fans misery to form a group where by you could appoint yourself chief mouthpiece to gain a little bit of noteriety (sp)and cashflow to enhance your sad existance, and again you are a t***. We're in a worse position now than we were at this point of the season under any of the managers you mention. We've not been this close to being relegated in 17 years. Cheers for the character assassination. But I have nowt to do with the organisation of the NUSC. I've not been to a meeting. I've not been to the rally. I support the people giving their time and energy, usually with no recognition (it's been the likes of Lee Ryder naming the most active members to have a pop). You think I'm a t***? Fair enough. I prefer to think I'm one of the few people who'll take the time to even debate you and others on this subject any more. It's no wonder good posters like Alex, Parky and Tooj have stopped bothering though. Any discussion of Ashley's running of the club decends into an exercise in NUSC bashing. Ashley-bashing....NUSC bashing....there's always bashing of some type going on it just depends which side of the fence you are sitting.Anyone who stops posting on the site because they don't want to hear a different POV is probably more comfortable on TT where there isn't even a debate and good posters like Baggio are ridiculed as WUMs. I wasn't so much Ashley bashing as answering another posters question factually. What this had to do with the NUSC, or why it makes me a t*** still hasn't been explained. Anyone asking questions of Ashley and his people are seen as being NUSC members. Shouldn't be that way. But then again, anyone answering questions about Ashley, or asking questions about the NUSC is seen as an Ashley sympathizing glory hunting sky fan. Both are wrong imo, but that's the way it is.
