Mine is fading with every passing hour tbh

What's going on ?

2 weeks. Thought it was coming days ??

Very underrated album. Not really an album, it’s a collection of B-sides. As much as I love it, it's not underrated either.... it often gets the plaudits it most definitely deserves The original poster should acquiesce. Listen up now, we could talk tonight about this, but theres no point it's going no where :lol

Chelsea have got progressively worse and their owner has lost interest so I’m not sure they are the best model really won 15 trophies in 15 seasons so whatever they do works Think you are being a bit shortsighted (too much masturbation), it hasn’t ended well for Chelski. too much masturbation? Your profile pic? How has it not ended well for chelsea ?

1 Keegan(1st spell) 2 Sir Bobby 3 Rafa 4 hughton 5 Keegan (2nd spell) 6 Roeder 7 Pardew 8 Daglish 9 Gullitt 10 Bruce 11 Allardyce 12 Souness 13 Kinnear 14 Carver 15 McClaren I think between 6th and 12th in that list you could swap around really, both equally as bad as each other.... Roeder got 6th because he took us from being in a relegation scrap to Europe even if it was via the intertoto cup and in the 06/07 season was so unlucky with injuries. pardew got 7th largely down to the 5th place season.... now whilst I'm writing this I really don't know how he got that high up... he is a knob head ..12/13 we nearly got relegated with some of the most demoralising defeats I've ever witnessed getting thumped 3-0 off the Mackems at home and the 6-0 home defeat to liverpool... With Daglish he did beat arsenal and liverpool to 2nd spot and CL football but he then dismantled Keegans side, made some horrible signings and managed to take a side that finished 2nd two seasons in a row, and in the top 6 four seasons in a row to 13th place finish. Cant believe bruce makes the top 10 with the football we have played this season but I suppose its take your pick between him ,fat Sam and Souness And McClaren beats licky lips and Kinnear to last place, with some of the players we had that season , some of the performances hammered 6-1 by city, hammered by the Mackems, thumped 5-1 by Pardew's Palace then after getting thumped by Chelsea 5-1 he came on for his interview grinning like a Cheshire cat.... if he didn't get sacked when he did we would have been down with 4/games to spare.

I genuinely had no idea before they started to make our kits now terrible puma are ? For a massive name in the sports industry every thing from the materials to the designs of our kits are fucking dreadful 10/11 was a basic design but the material was fucking shocking and the sponsor came off in the wash.... 11/12 people look back with in rose tinted goggles because we had a good season.... the design was fucking naff .... I liked the kit to cus of the memories.... but it looked like a waist coat and tie and the material was shite 12/13 was fine bar spikes Then from 2013 till 2016 was fucking ridiculous.... big fuck off capes and beaver teeth and splashes of blue .... 16/17-18/19 were good And this year was actually not as bad as people made out. As for the away/3rd kits they've all been meh bar 11/12 3rd and last seasons hooped effort.... I think puma and there jerseys completely suit and sun up the Ashley era, horrible, cheap and tacky.... I mind when I was a kid I couldn't sleep when ever we where releasing a new kit out of pure excitement....I think if/when the new takeover takes place and they get a new kit supplier itll help kick off a new era

Seen that yesterday.... got a lump in my throat watching that....even when he used to work on the bbc always came across a very dignified man and always talked sense

Where has ashley leaked hes had doubts?

In the positive thread some saudi Arabian boy with a tick by his name put on twitter that it's done ??

I really liked the one we won the championship in aswell bar the wonga sponsor

95/97 93/95 03/05 99/01 01/03

It's my birthday on Sunday would be class if this gets done before then... just so I can sit out in the back yard and get stoving

Reported by Henry Winter, but if they are and their interest is genuine, they're well late and could have come forward sometime in the past twelve years really, couldn't they? Cheers lad

Just continue drinking stella. Too much Stella makes you a bad speller Says the man who spells dazzler "dazzla"

Sorry for torturing yese but tried to stay away from this today spent the day in the garden all day drinking stella.... seen some one on fb now saying to yank firms are interested what the fucks going on

I'm the exact same.... wish I was working so I could escape it for 8 hours at least....

What's going on like? I thought the deal was agreed fuck sake

Won't be criticising Ashley? What was this absolute embarrassment about then? God Steve Wraith is a thick cunt That photo is hilarious :lol:

That's how I feel too... bring rafa back he has unfinished business here... hes a proven winner, hes honest and dignified and understands the club, fans and city.... he would have a plan and giving the backing I believe would establish us as a champions league side, and would possibly add a trophy or 2.... if rafa didnt come I would also love to see poch or allegri here.... some of the names on that list though Gerrard, dyche and Howe.... fuck me

I like right next door to them and honestly they're not half as bad as the media tries to portray them, what many people in the UK think of them is quite far from the reality. They literally kill journalists ffs Next door to them, in what sense? Currently picturing Bin Salman tending to the garden of a quiet semi-detached. "Aye, canny lad, keeps himself to himself. Media blow that whole beheading journalists stuff completely out of proportion, was just a misunderstanding." I live in Bahrain and have work in Saudi at least once a week, by all means no country is perfect but when you see how people perceive them in the UK you can't help but laugh, my wife is from Ponteland and was absolutely terrified from even going near the boarder thinking something might happen to her now she regularly joins me whenever i go there, the people are great and the new government led by MBS is creating massive positive change. you can always dig out articles about how its horrible and dark place but - in my opinion - the reality is just like any other country they have their good and their bad, the only difference is they are foreign so it's easier to target them in the media. That's the end of it now they're doing good and changing the country for the better.... I'm deffo in now let's fantasize about bringing rafa back and signing the best players in the world ??

Sorry it was relation to HTT's ridiculous long post. Aye I thought the same. Going out and buying the best striker on the planet having just missed out on the title to Man Utd wasn't a move to help us win the league!? He seems a cheerful chap does HTT and I don't want to seem too critical but I've seen him compare Domi to Evra and Distin & Woodgate to Ferdinand and Vidic! The daft owld git. Of course the club would and rightly so expected signing Shearer would also help a team that had just finished runners up a few months before to go one better and win the league with his added quality. But at that time the real prize for the Halls, Shepherd and the board was the riches going public promised that took on the bigger priority for them over any success on the pitch. Which would come eventually either way with Kevin as manager, the squad they’d assembled and the way we played they thought. But where they were previously very forward thinking and almost leading the way and 100% focused on success, they become very shortsighted when they saw all those pound signs they could get in return for their efforts rather than what they could go out and give the manager and it’s no surprise one of the key men behind the scenes in the transformation of the club off the pitch commercially happened to be Freddie Fletcher. A man who previously helped transform Rangers’ own commercial growth while on the Ibrox board and indeed had worked for Scottish Newcastle, famous for producing Newcastle Brown Ale of course and who had a long lasting and commercial association with NUFC going back to the club‘s early beginnings. A relationship that they profited from the most when S&N pretty much funded the signing of KK as a player back in the 80s and paid his wages in part which commercially all three parties made a lot of money from. A percentage KK actually donated back to the club so high was the figure he was taking home and before any bonuses. Appearances, goals, promotion, England caps, a share of gate receipts the club topped up. The brewery paying his basic salary which was the highest in the country at the time, which he signed over any image or commercial rights over to the brewery and the club to profit from in return for his fixed wage. And profit they did. Even a hard nosed businessman himself like KK with no loyalty to what was then some tin pot second division run down dilapidated club his father supported having been born a Geordie, his wages embarrassed him and made him think twice about how much money the club and it’s partners should be paying out to build a decent side, improve the training ground, kit out the youth team and give the stadium a lick of paint. He donated back his share of gate receipts on the condition the club spent it on improving the training ground, dressing room, kit-wear for the youth team and on travel and accommodation for the senior team. KK was already a legend among his team-mates, one of the greats off-all time, but his gesture endeared him even more to them, which he doubled up out on the pitch giving it his all. Fletcher played no small part in that deal and despite popular belief, it was he who was instrumental behind KK’s appointment as manager too. Recommending him firstly and also putting trust into KK that the financials of the club would eventually grow and allow him to build a decent side. He was key to putting that kind of trust into SJH and co too, proving his worth over the commercial growth of the club which was unprecedented at the time, 6m in debt with a circa 2m turnover to a circa 45m turnover in 4 years second in world football to Man Utd only by a few million, who had a larger capacity, a bigger global fan base and were of course a PLC. Fletcher was always a business man and he had the business all systems go for an IPO which he actually made hardly anything out of, and in ways whatever KK was to loyalty to the club and fans and not himself, Fletcher was the same to the business. Shearer was his idea, S&N would finance the deal and part pay his wages like they did KK and the SE would see the club securing an asset, investing in the business as much as the playing side and proving capable of money spinning commercial partnerships with big business. When we floated, if I remember right at one point the club was valued at over 250m and SJH’s initial 2m or so outlay on shares give him a 30m + return plus a stakehold, gave FS who to be fair put in 100k of his own money in the early day ten times the return and also made S&N and indeed KK good money too who cashed in his small share holding. It made a few fans rich too, in terms of thousands not millions of course. It didn’t make the club rich though and the hope a major company would buy up most of the shares namely Sky never happened. Fletcher stayed on for a while and oversaw further expansion to the stadium and deals with NTL, which in particular soured relations with S&N and Adidas who were commercial partners on many projects/deals together, NUFC being the biggest. NTL of course collapsed and while Adidas would still supply the kits for a while, S&N were rebranding away from the famous blue star, the club was now worth less value commercially to either as a partner. Shearer in the Adidas grandad top with that blue star, however, unveiled to 15-20k fans, beamed live on Sky, radio and across the world as the most expensive footballer in the world, was gold to both brands and gold to NUFC’s IPO. Shearer the signing signalled the end of the SJH-KK dream team and that whole era and brought in an era of a club managed by a two-bit-bob local businessman who actually put more back into the club (buying back shares) than be took out. Who despite his flaws wanted the club to succeed, but was a shit businessman who knew even less about football. Who ended up having to sell his share to someone even more shit at business, knew even less, wasn’t a fan and who is a nasty spiteful hateful bastard cunt. Btw for KK and Shearer, read Owen and Northern Rock and Adidas. The club would have needed a bank loan to buy Shearer and even if they got one, at almost double our previous record only a few months before splashing out on Tino, the club were thinking what will we have to pay to sign another top player the summer after, double what Shearer cost? Very interesting read that?

Actually dont think it looks that bad this year.... I've noticed over the last 5/6 years fewer and fewer people wearing the current Jerseys , I think its stemmed from when wonga was made sponsors... alot of match day goers seem to wear old/retro jerseys nowadays

This, were going out.... Chelsea would be worth sticking a tenner on to win the whole thing ? The last 4 times they've played Leicester in the cup they have went on to won it... (97,00,12,18)
