I went into mental hibernation a while ago. Emotional hibernation has now followed. Wake me up when - and only when - the cunt has gone......

Can life get any worse? Seriously? I'm going to bury my head in the sand for a long time. We're all doomed - the end of the world is nigh!!

No.

God I read this and cry. What a glorious 12 years we've had. The only thing missing is the net spend over those 12 years and our dominance of the two cup competitions. I think I should go and support a decent amateur team.

I would seriously be so happy if every player handed in a transfer request today. Sell the lot. Don't care. Good luck to them all, they deserve a better club.

Jesus, man, don't even think about starting this garbage again... It's D.E.A.D

I've thought that for a number of years. It's a seriously interesting point. The Jarrow march? Where did all the bottle go? My grandfather worked down the mines. My great uncles fought and died in the great war. It seems we're a group of 'Geordie Shore' babes and impotent men. Or am I being cruel??

The latter, I’d imagine. He and Ayoze complemented each other really well. Be interesting to see if Almiron is moved into a more central role behind the striker, which is where he played for Atlanta, and Atsu given the start on the left wing, or Muto doing a straight swap for Ayoze and Almiron left out wide. With any luck, he too, will be sold for a tidy profit.........

I'm with you, as are many others. They can all go as far as I'm concerned. In fact, let's have a mass handing in of transfer requests. Every single first team squad member. Maybe the players can do what no-one else can - fuck Ashley up.

Perez going, Longstaff going.......I could add about another four or five to the list. Good business - let's sell 'em all. Bargain basement time! No serious offer refused! We've loads of deals to be had - come grab a bargain! I seriously don't give a monkeys - which is a shucking indictment of what FCB has done to our club. Sell it all. Burn it to the ground. Destroy any value in it completely. Ashley will lose all of his investment. Great news. Then we start again without him

This intrigues me. It would have been pretty nailed on for him to support Rafa, stick another knife in Ashley. I wonder why? He's never been slow coming forward, has he?

100% agree. Hope all the first team put in written transfer requests tomorrow. Let the best go for whatever price Ashley thinks is the best he can get. Let him pocket the cash. The club is dead. Maybe in a few years, or 10 years, it will, like the Phoenix, soar again. Until then I am in complete emotional hibernation........

My own opinion, cemented after the last week of take over garbage and the insult to a man like Rafa, is that ANYONE who gives so much as a penny to Ashley is complicit in supporting him in his vile treatment of our once great club. I don't care if you say it won't make a difference - it will. I don't care if you say it won't affect him - it will. A TOTAL boycott of ANYTHING to do with Ashley - this club, Sports Direct. Debenhams, Game, ANYTHING he has a share in, is the ONLY way to get rid of him. After nearly 13 years of complete shite with this man in charge, surely no-one believes anything else is the answer.?

This will be my one and only post on this. I seriously do not give a fuck. Totally lost interest until the fat bastard dies. End of story.

EVERY NUFC supporter should listen to this. Cry, weep, pull your hair out but never, ever give money or support in any shape or form Ashley or his minions. He is 100% Bang on in everything he says. RIP NUFC.

Is it a criminal offence to actively encourage, promote or assist in violence to an individual? Asking for a friend....

God, I hope and pray.......

Don't. Get a life. Stay away. For all our sakes. Please.

Biscuits aside......the guy seems to have absolutely no clear plan or idea what he wants to do with his growing empire of failed businesses. So many dirty fingers in rotten pies. I've held some very senior positions in retail and the retail groups he's bought into are all on their last legs. Ashley is many things but a retail genius he is not. Making them big again is going to take many hundreds of millions, if that's even what he wants to do. Assuming he knows what he wants to do. It's this that gives me hope about the takeover. If he is determined to make a go of them all (what's the point in buying them otherwise?) then he needs a very substantial pool of cash to invest in them. About as much as he'd get by selling us. Please let this be true because it means all this grief is worthwhile. Now, back to biscuits......

On a day of complete insanity, this has made me laugh the most!!!! My only real and legitimate concern is what happens if it rains? It could all get very messy???

What's this with a tea bag?? Tea Bag!!! Nothing, but nothing beats loose leaf Early Grey Tea, brewed in a proper tea pot. My Mums is the best, then poured into a big mug. Note I did not say china tea service. Biscuit of choice with this - absolutely has be Nice. Taste of coconut always gets me.... Tea bags should be illegal. Unless you're Mike Ashley - remember him?

Persy, you've lost me completely! Explain?

This has become the greatest thread in history! Got to believe that there is nothing like it on any other forum on the planet! OK< how about Twigelts? Or is that off topic? What is the topic? A crunchy chocolate bar?

Sorry, STM, but what's that got to do with biscuits?
