If "he left for the money" isn't libelous then I don't know if there will be any Suppose it isn't really. It's an opinion and technically Rafa left for a higher paying job so can't see the grounds for libel.

My mate who works through the Newcastle United foundation and knows a fair few staff at the club told me the 42k figure is right. They have to have the official head count figure for health and safety so it's pretty well known from the staff as this stuff spreads like wild fire.

Nice one Rafa Comes as no surprise but good for him to get it out there. Shame it will blow over soon enough. Just listening to Talksport and David Moyes has said he was approached to manage us, fucking hell man

Only seen the 1st half, he looks promising but very raw for a £40 million 23 year old. Could go either way. Reminds me a little of Emile Heskey.

Decent shout mind and, you know, Chelsea.

Class thread. Be more interesting then the game ones which the majority know how they will pan out.

These cunts are everywhere not just up here. I often get slagged off for going out socialising with my missus from people who never do with theirs. It's like being in a prison for them but I'm a freak for having a laugh with a woman I chose to be with for life. England init.

Ah well glad we lost, so sorry for the wives girlfriend and family haters who rocked up at the Sports Direct arena. Chelsea Man United is a good un on the positive front.

Turn it off then. Why are you watching it just to tell people how much you don't want to watch it. Pretty weird man. As I've had the pang of opening day interest. Within about 2 mins I felt nothing. Enjoyed the Spurs game yesterday and looking forward to the next game. Stopped watching at half time to play with my kids and just checked the score. Get in.

Actually feels like a chore watching this. I feel nothing and couldn't care what happens.

If Carroll looked after himself he'd be an absolute beast and would be a top 6 striker. He doesn't. His lifestyle choices on top of reoccurring injuries will forever hamper him. If he stays off the gak and puts his all into training there could be a player and a half there but we have a soft touch for a manager and a club that has no hope so there's a good chance he'll end up doing an Amy Winehouse.

From the lads I know who are going, they see it as a day on the piss and a bit shout Fair enough at least it's something and not going to watch the match. I'm that lethargic about the club I can't even be arsed to rock up. Just staying away from the ground until Ashley goes. Didn't even think I would watch the game on TV but now it's approaching I probably will with morbid curiosity. I won't actively want Arsenal to win but will have a wry smile if SDFC gets a hammering. However, sadly, I have a feeling it'll be a decent result and the drones will keep on turning up.

4 season tickets please.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and predict he will be absolutely shite.

Yup, we are living in a highly sensitive age where people want to be the most offended in a race to the bottom. Stupid fucking cunts.

He must be loving Bruce being here, tailor made for each other. He'll be the first name in the side when fit. As a player I don't actually mind him but he is mediocre and limited. One of the players that should have been improved upon if we were a club who wanted to improve. Decentish back up as a squad player and he does seem highly motivated but as another player there you must get pissed off seeing his angry mush screaming at you all the time especially when he is hardly perfection alot of the time.

Paying for football in this day and age man.

DJs in Cosy Joe's every weekend. Staggering that he's never been wiped out considering how anti NUFC he is! Most of our fanbase is anti NUFC

This window has been awful. We've lost our player of the season and possibly the most pivotal player in Perez and in doing so also lost the majority of our goals and assists. We've replaced them with unproven players from inferior leagues with a view to make a profit on them in a year or two. I'm actually surprised we haven't lost any of defence or Longstaff but they is still time for a nice firm kick in the balls yet again. We've also lost our hope and guidance in Rafa. We've replaced him with a mercenary yes man who doesn't believe in tactics and was playing out of date football 10 years ago. He also has the lowest win percentage of pretty much any cunt who has ever managed in the top flight ever. We've also lost our fan togetherness even more so despite being fragile since the fat cunt took us over. Such strong opinions either side of the divide. It's almost hilarious the position we're in.

Dubravka. Then to be sold for a tidy profit.

Refuse to watch that shite from the still alone. Is that Wee Phillie? The fucking toucher ;D

Dalian is possibly a bigger project than Newcastle in terms of setting up infrastructure, staff and getting a good team together. Challenging the big 3 in China would be a huge undertaking assuming he has the backing of the owner. Already turned them from 11th to joint 5th 5 wins in 7 games. Only lost 1 in 7 games. 18 goals in just 7 games. And into the Semi Final of the Cup playing one of the bottom sides. He might win a trophy before we even win a Premier League game Stop it

Gayle is stereotypical too good for the Championship too poor for the Premier. Might have it wrong but didn't he do okay for Palace though? I'd sell him and let Ashley keep all of that lovely money.

It's all relative really. The Premier League is the richest in the world and with revenue rising it's better it goes on and too the players who make the game what it is. I fucking hate the money in the game though and hope it hits the ceiling soon but can't see it happening for a good while if at all.
