Interpolic

And in theory, the best case scenario would be the club getting sold for 1p to a rich buyer with good intentions who's willing to take on the debt, the losses, the wages, and all the other shite that's connected with NUFC. Any sale for big money just benefits Mike Ashley. God, the idea that we should not be sold for less than £100m just to keep up appearances, I give up.

I don't think we should sell for £70m either. Its about status and pride as much as anything. If Ronaldo is worth more than our whole club than what does it say? One player for god sake. That's why Ashley holding out for the 100 is important for the club IMO. Don't wanna get on your back or owt, but that's one of the most mental things I've ever, ever read.

Premiership = wife material, Championship = dirty slag.

Yeah, it's part of the reason we're there, isn't it?

It's called trying to influence the game. If Newcastle win, we go home happy.

Swap Duff and Jonas round for a bit so that they're not repeatedly cutting inside.

I still don't get why everyone's going mental for him at Notts County, he's not even the manager and they haven't exactly splashed the cash. I think it's just because it's such an unusual appointment, given that he managed so many big clubs and England not so long ago. Also there's the general (justified) cynicism towards whether DoFs work in this country. It's just an unusual situation - I got the impression with Notts County's manager there it'll all end in tears.

The lass's mam is staying over so I couldn't hear Football Focus for the bloody hair drier, annoying as fuck.

Brilliant clip, that.

Aye right. It's difficult to take to a sycophantic yes-man gobshite who has no discernable qualities other than that he wouldn't look out of place at one of the greasy burger vans outside. Course you did, Jesus Christ. Stop speaking in the present tense you delusional fuckwit. And it's not about glamour - it's about putting a shift in because that's your job, a job you get well paid for and you're not better than. Kinnear defending Owen man, fuck's sake.

Bloody hell, Clem's approach to this evening: list every NUFC-related cliche in the book and ask people's opinion on it. Talentless prick, if he lives in this area then his lack of understanding is criminal.

This Clem bloke's a fucking gimp.

Most touchy religion ever. If that's an uninformed, throwaway comment on my behalf, so be it.

Absolutely agree, but he's a moron so he's bound to make his mind up on September 1st (but not before selling a good proportion of our players from a paper-thin squad). Ah well, at least we'll get to see some of Wise's youngsters first hand, eh.

THAN WHO?! Fred West?! Be careful there mate, you might start an internet rumour. Fred West with Harold Shipman backing. Press conference tomorrow at 3pm ITK It's ITV mate. Not being funny, you'll just have to get this sort of stuff right if the rumour's gonna take off.

I can see the sentiments but that's fairly crass.

how many are rated higher by the bookies to go up ? Only West Brom. Mental isn't it. That's the point isn't it, it could be shit or bust.

If this drags on until September and we sell a good few players and get none in, it could be interpreted as the most elaborate way of avoiding flak for a shit transfer window ever.

Football's getting utterly tedious now. It's a case of constantly putting up with and humouring useless, delusional, rich-beyond-your-wildest-dreams fuckwits on and off the bloody pitch. It's far beyond the point where I can identify with any of these people.

Paying the wages of the cunts that got us relegated. Exactly.

Every time I see the thread title it looks a bit more sinister. Started out all jokey but I'm glad I'm not in poor Thomo's shoes!

Chinese investors now, bloody hell. Guess we'll find out at the press conference.

Ah bollocks, just booked a half day at work.

4pm, keep up mate.
