1964

Reminds me of a shit Michael Carrick. I'd settle for that.

I suspect if he hadn't spoken out in support of Ashley there would be more saying it wasn't a red

I'd take him actually beating a defender at the minute. Unfortunately he couldn’t beat a defender with a sock full off snooker balls

Rinse and repeat

All of the shite rags getting the EXCLUSIVES now. Daily Star saying the same thing as the Express. https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/748091/Newcastle-takeover-EXCLUSIVE-Mike-Ashley-300m-Peter-Kenyon I note it doesn’t say which Christmas or new year.

Remember 'the Sparrowhawk'? Wasn't he Paraguayan and touted as having a promising future till he came to us

Yep, we can play in 4 quarters, have an advert break every 5 minutes and change the goal to the net-zone if it means Ashley and all his works are purged from the club

Agreed, but perhaps that’s why talks are at a more advanced stage, Stifler has given his blessing.

Tredz do 0% apr and free delivery. Owned by Halfords so a natural competitor to evans

What a great idea, cheers for the link. I’ve done this and I will be doing it again after his takeover of evans as I’ve bought loads there. I will be exercising my right to be forgotten after I get a response. If you do that I think they have to purge their systems of your data.

I don't think it's anything other than a Bishop PR excercise to try and get a bit of good publicity for Ashley....the meal, the sudden reapperance at games......he can't be accused of being the absent owner anymore. It proves beyond any doubt that the protests and the negative publicity against him is definitely working, time to take it up to the next level Are there levels of escalation here?

If it is total fabrication then Kenyon would have issued a statement plus he is savvy enough to have more inside info on Ashley’s intentions so there is a bit of hope....

We’re getting well beaten by bang average sides

Does Salah count? Firmino? De Gea? Pires? Vidic? Lucas Moura was quiet before the end of last season. Off the top of my head. There's loads man And one of the greatest players ever to grace British football, Dennis Bergkamp

If only he'd said he was grooming underage girls he'd have been ok for 12 months. Still you live and learn

KPMG presumably stands for Keep Protecting Mike Group

That Teresa May frame with Cech’s skull cap on :lol: brilliant

Another question is, does he really need us as an advertising vehicle or even the need to advertise? Sports Direct is the largest sports retailer in the U.K. it is the only real national chain which sells it’s goods at it’s price point (JD being priced higher). He has a clientele who turn up to his shops as a first point of call. Advertising would be like saying Orimark needs to advertise. People who want £3 t-shirts (or £30 trainers in Sports Direct’s case) just don’t need advertise as the majority of their customers know that other shops won’t be selling that low and price is the most important factor for them. He has SJP decked out in Sports Direct advertising, but how many people actually watch an NUFC, see his advertising in the background and think that they should go in and buy some trainers and cheap socks? His customers are likely automatically thinking of getting their purchases from SD, and other who shops there do so because simply put theirs not another store on the high street selling what they want. Same reason why Costa Coffee is now advertised prominently in Coronation St, they don't 'need' to but brand profile and image are an important part of any business.

Unless you are the player when it is anything but. Worst feeling in the world and worse than childbirth. I’ve never heard a man say I’ll have another one of those

It was never mitro' s style of play that was the issue, benitez didnt trust his temperament

Find somebody who looks at you the way Rafa looks at Ritchie. Find someone who can photoshop Dummetts cock playing keepie uppie

Genius

It isn’t like

I won't, we will have wasted the first month of the season bedding players in. Leaving it to the last minute as usual just creates unrest and turmoil

The use of the phrase 'trade in the market' is so disingenuous, its literally correct but masks the fact that we haven't actually spent much money ad raked in about 40 million
