Figures 1-0 Football

Carragher has talked shit all of his life, I wouldn't listen to anything that annoying scouse prick says or writes.

Exactly my thoughts.

Presumably trying to find a loophole so that Rafa doesn't have to do it.

Out of interest, what proactive action are you taking now he's ran out of chances with you? Can't wait for the day he's out of our club, but enjoying a Rafa Benitez led Newcastle is a lot more appealing to me than whinging in the shadows. What can I do from 200 miles away? It'd make me feel better if it always pissed it down with rain on you and we had glorious sunshine.

He'll be sold for £8m-£14m in the summer to a team in a shitter standard of football who can afford to have players waltzing around doing fuck all. Dutch football was perfect for him. Good player but absolutely no conviction in his talents and he's quite happy to toddle along.

The only times I've ever seen the lad in a Newcastle shirt, he has looked absolutely dogshit. But they were under a crap manager(s) in crap situations in crap games. Will be interested to see if Rafa rates him if he stays, as I absolutely trust his judgement. Personally after watching a few Cov games this season, I think he's probably found his level with Cov. Would love to be wrong like.

When do we need to buy his wife flowers like?

"At the top" is what I said meaning anywhere from 1st - 6th imo he'll be top scorer, or very close. Don't see what is daft by that statement. Everyone who is claiming that he is shit seem to think he's incapable of scoring, so if he was our main striker and we were at the top he'd still be shit and not scoring, no? People have written this bloke off for no reason at all and a lot of people on here love to be dramatic and see everything and everyone negatively. He's a much better player than people give him credit for.

The defenders in the Championship might be "bigger and stronger" but they are also shitter than the defenders in the Premier League, which is why they play in a lower league. Mitro barely played consecutive games all season, he was in and out of the team constantly and still managed to end up with 8 goals. Also playing for one of the worst teams in the division. Yes he missed chances but Vardy, Kane and Aguero all missed chances this season. His conversion rate is actually quite good. If he is our main striker next season and we're at the top of the Championship, he'll be one of (if not the) top goal scorer in the Championship next season.

Exactly this for me. You can't hound out an owner unless you have a willing buyer. Make no mistake, if someone offered Ashley his asking price he'd sell in a heartbeat. Said this all along, spot on (both posts).

The bloke is clearly an astute (bit of a cunt) businessman but he literally has no fucking meat between his ears for this football club. All he needs to do this summer is sack the likes of Charnley, give full control to Rafa, keep him in charge and take a step back. That's it. Simple. Fans will calm down, we'll win the Championship at a canter and he'll be able to take steps forward to progress us.

Had no idea the Adidas deal was worth so much. £75m a season, man. How much do Puma pay NUFC per season? Knowing our lot, we use Puma as a backhand favour for some agent.

Is that what football boils down to these days? A good first half of the season (way above expectations) automatically means you'll get booted if you have a crap second half? Would Ranieri have got the sack if he only won 1 or 2 games after Christmas? We are the 'deluded Geordies' yet the likes of Southampton, Watford, Leicester, West Ham, Stoke can all aim for Europe and top whatever finishes and just be portrayed as 'ambitious'.

Ridiculous. What did they want him to do that he failed to do so?

Will not believe he's taking us on next year until he's completed 30 games next season in charge, even then I'll be doubtful.

I like Barton I do, would definitely have him back here next year if needed.

Is he not out of contract again? I thought he only signed a 1 year deal. Aye, he's out of contract this summer.

de Boer to Everton, will be confirmed before Sunday to cheer up their whinging supporters on the final day.

He made Titus Bramble look like a competent defender.

This.

Peter Ramage 2h2 hours ago Peter Ramage ‏@peterramage83 Woke up in a sorry mood, but still alive, kids healthy... It's a new day, time to stand tall and fight thru tough times together #Nufc Old Peter Damage back next season?

"Absolutely gutted! We have to come back stronger and put things right! #Nufc" Elliot not planning on jumping ship then.

Sting, Ant and Dec, Brian Johnson and the whole NUFC fan base couldn't come up with enough money. The forum raised a couple of grand in a few days to pay for a server man Do we not think that the fans trying to organise a consortium would possibly bring in additional interest from wealthy folk? Some Thai chap sat at home wondering what he could spend his £40m on. Except Mike Ashley would probably want more than £300m (including the £127m loan to himself). Wonder how far Barclays will let me go into my overdraft

Ajax boss Frank de Boer has left the Dutch club after six years in charge. de Boer now odds-on for the Everton job. Rules out Rafa.

Sheffield United are expected to appoint Northampton boss Chris Wilder after sacking manager Nigel Adkins. Adkins available
