Interpolic

Ronaldo-esque

Proper fucking ironing board.

I miss drugs

Personally I think it if it was 100% dead in the water we would have a leak from somewhere saying so or even a statement from seller/club/buyer. But we have had a statement from the buyer. They stated "we have come to the decision to withdraw our interest in acquiring Newcastle United Football Club". I don't see how much more explicit they could be? This hasn't actually been made public. What's been made public is that Ashley has engaged QCs to potentially pursue the Premier League over the legitimacy of their non-approval of the takeover. These are two very, very different things. The latter does not require the consortium to still be involved or interested. Again, there's been absolutely nothing to suggest that the Saudis are still interested or pursuing this. Genuinely not a single morsel of evidence. The takeover attempt no longer exists, and there's no good reason beyond blind optimism to think otherwise. IMTTS =Is Mightier Than The Sword? Can't imagine who this is. Jesus, what a spot

Yeah, we'll pay again.

The guy's an utter wanker and always has been. My last memory of him before this was him sitting in Brazil co-commentating on an entertaining World Cup, moaning about literally the whole experience. The painfully unfunny cunt was sat there in any football fan's dream job, picking holes in everything from the defending on the pitch to the breakfast at his hotel. I'm glad he's so clearly very miserable as he deserves nothing better than that, the prick.

That's all downside tbh.

That the one on “France day”? Would have been ruled out for offside in the VAR world, probably would have caused a riot. Was that match aye.

Had forgotten that Cisse's 2nd against Chelsea prompted these weird noises from Steve Claridge I really liked Cisse's the following season at home to Southampton, gets forgotten as it wasn't amongst his initial flurry of goals but was an amazing hit and certainly in his top 3 or 4 for us I'd say.

love owt like that, me

Whoever Money Mike Ashley is, they seem really comfortable on social media - my money's on it being Mark Zuckerberg.

Ah balls, this isn't on PPV.

A big caveat on that data is that the figures are guessed. BT, SKY or the PL havent actually released the figures "These figures come from BARB viewing estimates, with 5,300 households sampled and the figures extrapolated for the population." Ahhh didn't realise it was BARB figures, cheers for pointing that out.

True but a couple of million quid a game week across all clubs for all that dreadful publicity isn't too clever tbh.

39k is the average so far. Still crap figures, mercifully.

Was the same with Kinnear, Pardew and McClaren - we were the only PL club that would have gone near any of them.

Career best of 10th Fucking Glenn Roeder, Peter Reid, George Burley etc have done significantly better than him, and in far less time.

It's a fun theory but this guy is nowhere near deranged enough for that to be the case.

I swear to fucking God

Start the week as you mean to go on, lads

Every game's like that Andy, and you and your mates tell us he's doing a great job and we should stop moaning. Accurate comments from him, mind.

Dyer said something along the lines of us being a club in transition and hopefully Bruce was given enough time to get it right, so he's clueless.

"We missed Jonjo today"

Nah, if someone wishes to not believe you then they should just choose too, instead of segueing why. This forum has started to develop an atmosphere where people get on each other’s backs too often in the last few years. I think you should continue to keep us updated as it’s appreciated by a lot of members, if it makes you feel better how about putting your updates in the takeover optimism thread instead? This way people can clearly avoid it if they wish too. Mimms[/member] Sorry like, but that’s fucking bollocks. If you don’t believe something, you’re entitled to question it and put your opinion in. The vast majority disagree and believe him, that’s fine - but I’m entitled to have my own opinion on it and voice it. End of
