Realistic Transfer Targets, Unicorns and The Tooth Fairy - Summer 2014

We should sell Tiote then. His new 5 year contract was paid out of the Carroll money apparently so get rid of him now and we'll get an extra £10m or so on top of the actual transfer fee that we can spend on new players. What? Oh, it only works that way when we're spending money apparently, never mind.

Seriously? Is there any other club that budgets like this, including future costs in their current net transfer spend? I think we're the only club that announces deals in this fashion in order to deceive the fans and get away with spending as little as possible.

I'd like to think they were budgeted for separately like Must be paying the tea lady a shitload if the player wages are included in the transfer fees, our salary bill is quite large. Maybe Mike is on facebook and bought into the soldiers/mums/dinner ladies/anyone except footballers should get footballers wages bollocks.

And we thought the Pardew thread went to shit.

Agreed, we could be looking at a Leeds-esque farce when Ashley sells and he sells it to a literal criminal. Most likely be picked up by some rich Chinese dude or corporation. Sweet, I'm really looking forward to playing in red because that's some lucky colour over in Asia or some stupid s****. Yes, cos thats what would definitley happen if some Chinese investors took over. IF. Red and gold stripes The Peoples Republic of Newcastle PRoN? Would throw up some interesting google results for us....

Good man, Ian. Always nice to see one of our own step up for the challenge. Square it with your bank manager tomorrow and let us know when you've signed Messi.

He's an intensely private man by all accounts. You want to fuck with him start publishing pictures of his house, his address etc etc.

Un-needed apostrophe too. They don't grow on trees you know, BG, we expect better.

Aye, me too. I'd gan proper radge if we won a game.

You would hope it might inspire him.

By far the best football journalist out there imo. Writes passionately and knowledgeably. Compare him with some of the other twats working for the nationals.

Sammy's looking a bit bulkier in his upper body.

but no manager would ever come here while Ashley has a boner!

A crushing defeat would be far better than a 2-0 because it piles the pressure onto the manager and owners. I don't think Chelsea will do it but we might get an embarrassing defeat at home to Spurs. We've properly gone mental. You're not wrong like. Getting anxious because we think Chelsea might not beat us enough and pinning our hopes on getting thrashed at home by Spurs. Think i'll just back away from this one slowly.

I was careful to be specific... "If our crowds dropped to 20,000 off the back of being 8th" Not finishing 8th. You also misread what I said, or took at face value what others suggested I said. I never said it would be wrong to pack in when we're 8th, nor would it be if we were 10th. But that the media and supporter perception that lasted in 10 years time, would be the same as the myth that has built around us booing Bobby Robson and wanting him sacked for finishing 5th. No context or understanding would be afforded of any frustration the fans had been feeling after years of mis-management. The headline would be that we got half the crowd Sunderland did after finishing (say) 8 places above them. I don't give a fuck what other fans say about us either now or in 10 years time.

Look back through this thread. He goes from being the next Zidane to the next Carlton Palmer and back on about a 2-3 week cycle.

Just a happy coincidence this clever little scheme involves not spending any money just as we're safe from relegation.

I think he's saying Chelsea are a good team.

Get a hotdog and a photo with Monty the magpie to round off a great day out for all the family.

Why do you even ask? Just wondering about the motivation for cancelling and then paying for certain tickets. As I said, not criticising, just wondering because there seems to be a bit of a conflict there. I mean, if you hate Ashley enough to stay away after a lifetime of going it seems odd to buy tickets at all. Really? Does it? After going to the match every other week for god knows how long it seems 'odd' that he might fancy it now and again without paying hundreds of pounds for a season ticket?

The fuck? Why not Sammy Rooney or Sammy Smith or something. Racist imo, always suspected you. that makes me a racist idiot. Yes

That wasn't for what you said, they were just laughing at you.
