A poor man's Bas Dost? It's the Ashley way.

This is still one of the worst myths peddled on this board. explain. Stay up - he wouldn't sell us. Go down - they wouldn't buy us.

Bobby Robson says in his autobiography that he sent his scout up to Glasgow to watch Bobo Balde and Boumsong just after he'd joined Rangers sounding them out as replacements for Woodgate Jesus, I never heard that. Bobo Balde! Would be like replacing a paint brush with a sledgehammer.

As we feared at the outset. Newcastle United is just a massive billboard for Sports Direct. That Ashley never had any intention of selling. Rafa could threaten to walk but Ashley just say bye bye. The only thing we can do is stop going to games and stop buying merchandise. But that's never gonna happen, so he's here indefinitely.

Where did you get that £320M figure from? Media reports in December of 300mil then further reports of an increases offer.

Staveley needs to get some on SSN tomorrow and say regardless of what she thinks of Mike Ashley the £320 million is still on the table. Just to clear it up for the retards who believe Ashley.

From the start I said I couldn't believe he wanted to sell. Why would he, were invaluable to sports direct. But as things went on I honestly thought it would happen. Oh well, bye bye nufc.

I'll add, I cannot fathom you lot getting all stressed out about this. The only time my arse will start nipping is if the takeover drags into next summer and I have to decide on risking another £1300.

If it doesn't, and it becomes apparent that PCP have pulled out completely, then I'm going to be very conflicted. Really? I won't be conflicted at all. Obviously I want Rafa to stay and the club heading in the right direction. But if the takeover doesn't happen Rafa is on his way, and I am too. And anyone who says you're turning your back on the club can fuck right off. Under Ashley it'ss no longer my club, or a club I want anything to do with.

I think the takeover will be announced this evening. I'm not itk, not even gonna pretend I am. So it's not based on information as I don't have any. It's just a feeling, which could just as easy be wind.

Holy fuck I've just had a look at that Firmin bloke. He looks like he was in the year above Oba at school.

It's about maintaining your identity. Man City certainly haven't kept theirs. They didn't have much of one pre Mansour. I'm incredibly biased, but I think we're different in that regard. I'd say we're at lot like city of old. They were perennial under achievers, spectacularly mismanaged. They had an outstanding side 30 years before the takeover, remembered fondly cause it's all they had to cling on to. Oh and they were pulling in crowds of 30,000 when they were in the 3rd tier of English football. Twenty years ago there was maybe 2 or 3 clubs in England that could have done that.

In the next few days, maybe this time next week, there will be an announcement right out of the blue. Big yellow bar on SSN - Newcastle United sold to PCP capital partners. Just fucking relax!

The streaker had a pipe in his gob!

Really? It still boils my piss! Gary Monk had just been given the Swansea job. The media were all over this success story, played for the club for a decade and was gonna step up when the club needed him. Carra and co were so far up his arse. Newcastle United in the exact same situation were literally laughed at.

Honestly lads, do yourselves a favour and put the phone / laptop away. Pick it up every few hours to see if the thread titles changed.

Michael Knightons running on with a football isn't he?

I'm sure not one person will agree but I think they all look shite! I'd hate it if we moved into something similar. When I first seen the Vikings stadium I thought it was pretty cool, from an engineering stand point. I suppose they all are tbh. My favourite American stadium would probably the Buccs old one, which was by all accounts damn near a death trap it used to get so hot inside. It was a bigger version of the stade velodrome which is maybe why I liked it. Old school and simple though. In fact fuck that, best stadium in America is Fenway, down with all this new shite.

If Ranger had started 14 games for us this season instead of Joselu, he'd have 7 or 8 goals and we'd be mid table. He'd also have threated Penfold with a firearm and raped 3 of the matchdays catering staff.

He did well like to "win" the penalty. Our lads are crap at cheating so we're picking up yellow cards instead.

Manders will fly into London Saturday morning so she can give David Luiz a lift. He'll be paraded before kick off. Relax lads, it's all taken care of.

If the company is nothing to do with us it's one hell of a coincidence.

Watford are gonna be 4 down by half time. We showed everyone the way and got pelters for it.

Arse.

Worst side in the league by some distance.
