Is "The Fish" - if that is his real name - simply a double agent that's got away with it for far too long? If you're REALLY a Newcastle United fan "The Fish" you'll know this - Brian Kilcline has a nine metre metal sculpture at his home....what creature does it depict & what is its name?

Worst thread ever. From HMHM as well. Unbelievable stuff.

Stuff.

As long as he doesn’t curl one out, you’ll be grand.

Apparently he asked to be recalled I really wish I wasn't banned on RTG tonight

Looks like Grabban is getting recalled because Bournemouth want to sell him to Wolves. By the sound of it, he's not even getting offered to Sunderland

“Planning”

He must be even more fcuked off not knowing the budget

I hated Luton Town tbh. ID card scheme, placca pitch, away fan ban, Tory MP as a chairman, managing to win a cup while we couldn't despite them being a set of cunts and having Steve Foster wearing a fucking stupid headband, ginger Hartson and kerb crawling David Pleat knocking out one of the few teams we've had that should've been easily good enough to win a trophy. Fuck em. (Also, isn't that little scroat 'Tommy Robinson' from there? If true, still cunts. Fuck em some more).

Explain to me how FFP would restrict our spending.

Yes you're wrong. It's likely to be the same people that wanted Liverpool, so have a lot of money to invest in a football club and lofty ambitions. They seemingly want Benitez, and unless they're thick as pig-shit they'll know he won't be content with not being given the resources to challenge. There's barely any value to be added by taking us from where we are to upper mid-table... so what would the incentive be? The woman fronting the bid was involved in the takeover of Man City by a megarish oil state to make a play thing. They are the circles she moves in, so slim-to-none is a stupid thing to say. 100% of her history of takeovers consists of what you're suggesting is unlikely. Hope that helps correct you, marra.

Batter him would be more fitting.

Our Rob, or Ross.

Any mackem would have known that. We'll be keeping an eye on you Fish.

And the Ashley comparison isn't apt given their net spend compared to ours over recent years.

The Boss arrived yesterday. Very pleased with it after an initial play around. As usual a lot of the presets are a bit cack but setting up your own patches from scratch is a piece of piss and the ability to be able to move things around in the signal chain with the turn of a knob is great. Should have a chance to have a better play around with it over the weekend.

Watch him bag 15 goals now

Troops man, you have got to relax, you're going to give yourself a heart attack at this rate. There is no reason at all to think he doesn't want Rafa here because Rafa wouldn't be here if Ashley wanted rid, he doesn't back him because he doesn't back anyone usually, the last manager he backed wasted his money (cheers steve). Rafa is a smart bloke who does his research and knew who he was signing up to work for, he puts it on in public to pressure for budget or players in because thats the way to do it. You talk about the way Ashley treats Rafa like hes an abusive spouse. The reality is, Rafa is a manager working on a limited budget for his department, this happens in workplaces the world over and hes doing a fine job. Ashley isn't going to invest because he doesn't see value in doing so and because if he is wanting to turn the club over to a new owner he wont see a major return on investment for any long term purchases, we're going to see some loans and maybe one permanent signing if a couple of players leave (mitro and colback particularly). More to the point, whilst we are indeed on a discussion board, you're melting down about this on a daily basis but you can't actually affect any sort of change so just sit back a little and calm down, its only the 4th.

No doubt the Quiff has his obsessions with taking shots at certain posters, but he's not the one looking silly here.
