Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 (edited) Just stumbled across my copy of Joe Young's Little Book of the Toon for the first time in a while... Was a lovely thing to flick through when you stumbled across it during the Ashley years. Think Joe needs to add a few pages to it now.

LFEE Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I’ve mentioned this before but I find Simon Jordan one of the straightest and most knowledgeable people in the media. You might not always agree with what he says. He might not always be right and maybe he can be guilty of going a bit easy on people he likes. But surely that applies to us all. If you listen to his shows in full rather than the odd sound bite you’d of realised he’s been for the takeover from the beginning. Did he think at one point it was dead? Yes. So did many on here and confidence even dipped with the likes of Steve Wraith & Keith Pattinson along with many others. Never see him as a WUM and he actually goes to lengths in criticising his co host Jim White and the rest of the media for click bait and goading journalism etc along with all the bullshit and parasites that attach themselves to football along with not shying away from criticising fans and their hypocrisy. Also most importantly he’s quick to hold his hands up when he gets it wrong. Just my opinion like but you can tell he learnt a lot from his time owning a club. The good and the bad along with many mistakes he made ?♂️ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HTT II Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 (edited) @Teasyis sound man, the mad old racist… /Only joking RE racism For what it’s worth, I support the players taking the knee if that’s their way of showing or saying no to racism, but in overall terms I support Kicking It Out and Show Racism The Red Card far more, who collectively have and will always achieve far more than just the taking of the knee. I feel taking of the knee is more personal to the players right now and more their individual and collective way when taking to the pitch to say a big fuck you/fuck off to racist cunts. Either way, whatever helps rid the game and society of racism or helps tackle it is all good! Edited October 11, 2021 by HTT II Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
et tu brute Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 What is absolutely crazy is that the fact Ashley has practically run the club to the ground, has acually left the consortium with massive opportunities moving forward. Not only do they have quite a large flexibility with FFP in terms of what they can spend straight away, but they also have a huge platform to increase annual revenues all round in a big way also. It's really like starting with a blank sheet of paper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tends to be a strong positive correlation between having veneers and being a cunt. It’s like a way of people self identifying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Amazing watch fly on the wall footage of the people who are running the club engaging with club staff and fans. I feel like it's all a big practical joke that everyone else is in on, except me and that someone is going to go "suprise", like it was some big wind up. I'm like a wifey who's ex partner used to batter them and can't bring himself to trust the new fella. I'm mean, why are they being so nice? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo_11 Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Its an odd feeling looking back to July 2020 when the statement dropped from the consortium that they had pulled out. Everything has been a polarizing factor from the lows to the high throughout the last two years combined with a global pandemic - I'd actually like a bit of calm as things settle down and back to enjoying football again now this is resolved!

Yeah, miserable, condescending, loved Shepherd (who I absolutely hated by that point). 100% correct about Ashley from day 1, though, wasn't he Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 It's mint like and really weird. I've not thought about NUFC much at all for years. I've snapped back to my obsessed days pretty quickly though, shocking how quick it's come back. I'm over the moon for my little boy. He's nearly 6, just getting into football, couldn't be better.

Nobody Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Was it Simon Jordan who rescued us from Pardew? If so, he's an absolute legend in my mind, but also an utter lunatic who should never ever have an opinion on anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

While he did in fact turn out to be 100% correct regarding Ashley, he almost single handedly ruined this board. Literally every thread ended up being ruined by him because he kept making it about Ashley and ambition (again, 100% correct, but not the point here). And he didn't just "go away" , after many, many warnings he was finally banned for good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think I've seen you posting for a good while Venks, did you lose interest altogether? Good to see some of the old guard coming out of the woodwork, I see even Ronaldo has popped his (massive) head in one or two threads. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
