Rio deserves his place imo. Even if he is a thick twat who misses drugs tests.

Where did you find this boob?

light-colours kits in general, I suppose. Probably why this one is two dark colours.

Whether the bid being rejected is Ashley's doing or a sign of a takeover, I can only applaud whoever is responsible.

Well, at least this one sounds plausible.

I'd be suprised if that cunt has any family. If he does they'll hate him i'm sure. Nah, they're all spurs fans, too.

Iraq is current Asian champions.

I'm not sad. I've got that warm glow you get when you just turn that final page on a good book. We all have to go some time, and Sir Bobby is no different. The only thing different about him is the dignity and class with which he lived his life and displayed right until the end. I'm sure as he left us this morning he was a man contented, having led a successful and fulfilling life, earning the respect of thousands (millions?) of people around the world. A football man through and through. He won't be forgotten. Let's have a drink to him tonight.

Are we any further forward on whether or not this guy actually exists?

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? Yes, I'm well aware. Again, what is the likelihood that this 'tycoon', rich enough to buy Newcastle United, has never had anything written about him in the Latin alphabet. I still say it's a wind up until something more credible materialises. There are hundreds of people in the world who can afford the £100m, and you don't have to deal with the west these days to be rich. Someone in the UAE can make stinking loads without the need to be recognised in the West. Clutching at straws. You also don't have to do business with the the west to have something written about you. The original article claims he's mates with the Iranian David Beckham. He's not exactly a low profile bloke by the sounds of it... yet no one in has written anything about him in the latin alphabet? Ever? I'm not saying it's impossible but you have to concede that it's very very unlikely. Could Mike Ashley be found on Arabic google before he bought NUFC? I reckon not. http://www.google.ae/search?q=mike+ashley+sports+direct+news+2005&hl=ar&sa=2 Mike Ashley in an Arabic news source in its Arabic form? If you do the leg work and get "Mike Ashley" put into Arabic then we'll test it out. Otherwise we'll just put you down as talking nonsense, deal? I think it works the other way around kid. "kid" You haven't a clue what you're talking about. You want to believe it so you're adjusting your logic to fit. Nothing you've said is anything other than opinion. You have no idea whether or not Mike Ashley was known in the arab business world before he took over Newcastle United. You have no way to prove your stance. You're just spouting shit. If you're not willing to engage your prefrontal cortex then we have nothing to discus. All we have are the papers - who have been far from accurate so far - reporting on a dubious source. Yet you're still unwilling to concede that this is anything other than gospel. Your stupidity has me trembling with rage, tbh.

I want to believe it... BUT... This guy didn't exist until 7 hours ago as far as google is concerned. It's a wind up. It has to be. How many 'tycoons' remain completely anonymous? Even our reclusive Mr. Ashley had had a fair bit written about him prior to taking over at Newcastle.

Gypsies?

Family are all from the toon. I didn't have an option. Bastards.

Where is James, anyway?

James is a bit of a toontastic.

Dunno why anyone would bid for him at the moment tbh Horribly unprofessional fat mess of a footballer. Agreed. It will probably be us.

Is that prison slang?

Won the ball on the edge of our box, dribbled through their midfield, dodged a couple of tackles, chipped the ball up and hit a volley on the turn from 45 yards. In off the post.

Decent signing.

Same as always. We have no clue. The media are guessing and everyone is getting themselves wound up about it.

Hughton looks like he's aged 20 years overnight.
