McKeag, Hall / Shepherd, Ashley are all as guilty as each other for using NUFC as their personal cash cow. The level of money raped from the coffers is commensurate with the money coming into the club over that time. Aye but Ashley is still worse than them, at no stage did they make me want to walk away from supporting the club, not how Ashley has. And he's doing far more damage than they ever did.

Lovely but a little bit insensitive, well in a few years.

Not sure how anyone normal with a functioning brain can think Shepherd or Hall were worse owners than Ashley. I would seek immediate help or a very high cliff, as they need help of some kind.

Pele for balance used to get the living shit kicked out of him, C.Ronaldo gets blown on and thinks it should be a free kick, can't see that fanny lasting two minutes with the sort of tackles put in on Pele back then. Comparing era's never works anyhoo, too many rule changes etc.

Dwight scores to put W.B.A two up.

Spuds

Great hit that.

Still provides that decent old joke though. 'Hoddle found god, what a pass that was'

Harsh on me that like

I can't see him selling because he needs the money, it'll be if he's had enough of owning us, which we can accelerate hopefully with the relentless attacking of his businesses, business partners and everyone and anything else associated with him. Peacefully of course.

Aye it's the make us back off, total made up PR bollocks. Best case, it's PR to attract a buyer back. Hopefully but as Gimp said, he can just pick up the phone. But we can have that little bit of hope it's the beginning of the end game.

We've not had a numerical advantage in a PL match since Boxing Day 2013. That can't be right mate, i think it was Stoke at home when they had two sent off, Ben Arfa was brilliant and got dropped by Pardew for the next game Unbelievable, wasn't it. The game prior he came off the bench and took the piss out of Palace at Selhurst Park, then took the piss out of Stoke. Then dropped for Arsenal. God it's been almost 5 years and it still riles me. It was utterly mental, the day he was dropped against Arsenal was the day i knew that was it. It didn't matter how well he played Pardew was just going to treat him like shit.

Yes, if only you had waited just a little while longer.

No you're are right, is it really that long ago

2-1, interesting.

Penalting.

Davy Pröpper has been proper plopper.

Love those skimmers, in as soon as he hit it.

Maybe it might help someone else, might make someone who's had a similar letter spot something like what Gary had, must admit it's a hard read

Never said you couldn't, I'm just talking from my perspective. You may or may not have noticed that Tubes does my utter nut in, with his trillionth post about how Rafa should be walking away, and me asking him to shud up already.

Footy and opinions, ha it would be boring without them. I find it hard to write down exactly what i mean sometimes, it gets lost in translation although to be fair to me I'm from Essex so i have a ready made excuse I've no doubt if we all discussed Rafa, the club, the football etc face to face things would be interpreted differently. Obviously there are knackers who can't see he's the best chance we have of winning anything (if we can get shot of Ashley) but then they're entitled to that view, mad as that is.

Rafa has been a cult on here for some time. It’s a combination of our situation and his ability which in light of the situation is incredible he’s still here (so all situation really) He’d be under far more scrutiny if we had a proper owner I’m sure, but it seems you can’t say anything negative as all you’ll get is that it’s the situation and Ashley is to blame...which is hard to argue with as he has created it, but sometimes you can do more with the hand you’ve been dealt rather than just keep blaming the dealer. Rafa has been screwed left right and centre any fool should know and see it. I get the 'just keep blaming the dealer' argument, and the obvious and perfectly correct his squad isn't good enough because of Ashley, so what can he do. My point and i reckon others on here is, even if Rafa had spent £100m i would still comment on a sub, the timing of one or a certain tactic or approach, a poor starting pick etc as that's football. And what i love to talk about, scrutinise and study more than anything else.
