Seeing as f*** all relevant to this thread is happening

 

Manchester United defender Patrice Evra says he wants to be a babysitter when he quits football. Evra would also like to do a television comedy with team-mate Park Ji-Sung. (The Sun)

 

:lol:

 

Fuck me, I would pay good money to see that. :lol:

What difference does it make whether Fat Fred was a moron or a genius? He sold his shares and left with a nice wedge. Is there really any point in dragging up these tired old arguments year after year? If Shepherd didn't want to sell at a high profit he could have bought the Halls out and took the club private assuming he could raise the cash. If he couldn't then it's pointless discussing his merits.

 

It needs to be said because people make rash statements such as it being easy to turn this club into a success and other daft comments such as they don't want to see "son of fred" in charge (whatever that means). The fact is it is not easy to turn a football club into a success, implying it is easy does a disservice to a group of people who did a decent job for most of their time in charge. I realise I'm pissing against the wind because their work wasn't appreciated (and still isn't) by a lot of members of this forum. They even take large crowds for granted, as though we've always had large crowds.

 

I don't think it's easy to make it a success as such, but I think it would be relatively easy to make it a moderate success (i.e. more than we'll achieve under Ashley).

 

Only because of the improvement that happened under the last lot. They turned it around from sub 15,000 crowds ( I could stand in the Paddock and swing a cat and not hit anybody if I wanted to ) to the interest we see today.

 

The irony is that Ashley is exactly what people thought Fred was. A clueless, inept nob.

HTL could you point to or name one person who thought that the previous board were crap all the time ? as i've pointed out enough times the vast majority see fred and co as doing very well for a good long while, the best and most attractive and most succesful we'd seen in our lifetimes.....but then it went backewards with seemingly bloody obvious stuff going a miss and not seemingly capable of being able to turn it. would the right thing be to say "hey they done it a while a go so we should stick with them" (even though the total ethos had changed....ie spend what we've earned replaced by borrow,borrow,borrow and hope)

Madras could you point to where I said people thought the previous board were crap all the time? I mean, now that you mention it, I think there are some who always hated FFS but I've never said that before.

 

In any event, I'm not going to argue because:

1. I don't care who the individuals are/were

2. I can't be arsed

3. You know exactly what I'm on about

 

Cheers

We should have a seperate internet for the paddies that go on here! :facepalm:

 

What like a whole new physical network across the UK? Would a paddy forum not be enough?

 

 

 

 

 

Probably not.  :razz:

 

An actual seperate network for the arguments, all users only allowed on via 56k modem.

Who the fuck has been sending Lambiarse dodgy emails

 

Derek Llambias, hapless managing director of troubled Newcastle, is now seemingly not prepared to accept messages from fans or media, having removed his address from the Newcastle email system. Llambias, who previously ran Newcastle owner Mike Ashley's favourite London casino, is best known at St James' Park for streaking across the pitch in front of witnesses and then denying he did it.

streaking through the pitch?

 

really?

 

really?

 

It happened a few weeks ago he had a bet with Ahsley. Been the first punt Mike has won in years.

 

Can anyone believe a word that comes out of Newcastle United when the club are being run by clueless managing director Derek Llambias? He ordered the Newcastle media lackey to say reports of Llambias streaking across the St James' Park pitch following the win over Reading were 'total rubbish', then repeated the same falsehood himself, adding the name of Freshfields lawyer Chris Mort, the former Newcastle consortium boss, to add some authenticity. Yesterday, Llambias finally admitted he HAD streaked after a bet but told a blatant lie because he didn't want his behaviour to be made public.

 

While hapless Llambias remains at Newcastle, the timehonoured journalistic practice of checking the 'facts' appears to be a waste of time.
