Nolan would've had no choice, he was here for 2 years and was a model pro. I've yet to see a post from you that doesn't attempt to snarl at or goad LM. You're one of the most pathetic excuses of a Newcastle Utd supporter I've ever had the mis-fortune to hear from. Are you familiar with the saying "a cynic is someone who knows the price of everything but the value of nothing" (Oscar Wilde) No? Thats 3 of you including fat Mike and Dekka then Forget his age,ability,recent record,influence in the changing room/around the club,legs,length of contract, inside leg measurement or his nightime drinking habits..its all fuckin irrelevent to what sort of message this sends to his (former) teamates and other clubs who may be circling them. Pardew comes out of this looking like Ashley has his hand up his arse and is fuckin operating him. Someone said a lot of managers would walk over this and thats spot on. Not this one though, who knew he'd never get the chance to manage a club as big as Newcastle United in his career ever again when he was offered the job and will spout mealy mouthed bullshit to cover for these fuckers as a result. Until we're in the bottom 3 at christmas when they'll sack him. How will you feel then Alan?....team matters taken out of your hands by the footballing genius who seemingly rated Alan Smith so much as a player he the useless twats name printed on his shirt. A really great captain if you ask me. One of the best I've seen at any club. Spot on, mate.

I tell you what it is, People like Deno/tiotenutz/whatever would have been twatted for coming out like shite like this at the match when I was younger. That, really is a fact.

Fuck me, I'm starting to be pleased the chubby one has evicted me, now. What happened to our support? I fucking give up with some on here.

We signed a French international who took his place in the starting 11 too. Agree with Brenner ahbout him regretting it, think Gold and Sullivan are total mugs and there is no way on earth West Ham will find life easy in the championship. I wish Nolan all the luck in the world but it sounds like he has moved to get a pay rise this coming season. If they dont come straight back up, its a fucking awful move. Ah! But Nolan might not have played as much because we've got Cabaye. Well lets just hope that Cabaye can lead his team, can get 12 PL goals, can adapt to the PL like a duck to water, will never get suspended, homesick, be mis-quoted in the French press or get any injuries. Some fucking hope there, then!

That's a shock. You two being all for it. So a bloke that gets 18 goals two seasons ago in the 2nd division, gets 12 last year in the PL and a player who was one of, if not the best captains I've seen in my lifetime at the club is sold. A player with 2 years still on his contract who absolutely did not need to be sold, regardless of any unwillingness to give him another contract, he was here and he plays/ed a massive part in the new work ethic to our players. There's no other way of looking at this without shaking your head. He didn't have to be sold. Absolutely pathetic decision, in fact, the best I could possibly say if I was one of the fucking jokers who, rain or shine, blow smoke out of the regimes arse no matter what, is that it's a gamble that could pay off. It's a totally unnecessary gamble but there you go. Being a supporter though I just look at an influential player being sold when he shouldn't have been. Pathetic decision.

Thought Batty was a cracking player for us, like. Completely disagree with anyone suggesting he somehow spoiled our chances. The players who started feel the pressure or lost a bit of form were unfortunately the players who got us flying in the first place. Saying that, Tiote has huge potential which if it comes to fruition wont be in a black & white (nearly said striped) shirt.

You know on a programme when they go in someones house who aren't expecting it? You know when one second they're outside the house the camera trained on the person knocking on the door? Well how come they're filmed from the inside of the house when they enter the house? How did a camera mysteriously find itself there? I think you may have stumbled onto something big, here.

That same holiday it was my turn to get stick on the return journey. The lads kept blowing raspberries and pissing themselves. I didn't mind at first but they just wouldn't tell me why they were doing it* and being, young, hung-over and irritated by the long coach journey I got in a right strop, started shouting and balling on the bus, told them they could fucking whistle if they wanted any tabs at the french service station, (I was the only one who had a bit of french money for this reason) and in this radged up mood started giving verbals to some German lads who had pushed in front of the queue for some bait. I was 'howman ye fucking arseholes, never heard of a queue' etc. They just gave me a daft look and walked past. I told the lads this as we/I now had a common enemy. I get round the corner and the Krauts were practicing some martial art moves before getting on their coach with 'Duetschland Tai-Kwando, Barcelona '92' banner on the side. I let them off. *After a few weeks back it was because I was dirty dancing with a lass who wasn't a supermodel, the fucking tarts! Now if they'd just told me on the bus I wouldn't have nearly chinned the Germans or vice versa.

What year was this? We used to go to Estartit laste 80's early 90's to the campsite you're on about. No word of alie one night me we're going back to the mobile home and there's some kid lieing on the grass pissed and asleep. I only remember this as my mam and dad had a massive barney over it. My mam was a nurse at the time and wanted to help him while my faffa's opinion was 'sod him, let him sleep it off, nowt to do with us.' He was a caring man at times. Was 1992, mate. There was six of us and I was the youngest, oldest was about 22. Unless my whole timeline was out of scale you must've had a late night for it to have been me. Then again, I've no actual memory of the event, just waking up the next morning.

I legged it home mortal over about two years ago and did the same but I must've jolted something in my back. My backs never been the same. It'll be fine for a few months but will just 'go' and I'm fucked for a couple days. Your pissy story reminds of an old mate who'd been out all day on a bender and got back in his Mothers house and whilst his old dear was watching the end of 'heartbeat' he pulled his fathers slippers in the middle of the living room floor and started to piss in them. He had no idea when she told him the next day but it cracked us up when she told us.

The £132M should be discarded. It wasn't a debt, it's what he agreed to pay to own the club, the club's owners didn't owe £132M to anybody else for the right to own NUFC. The mortgage was a no brainer, if he had the funds available then it made pure business sense to pay it off and save interest, just as you and me would do if we had the funds to do likewise with our house. (This is one of the reasons he got a bit huffy as he never knew about the mortgage in the first place and being followed by the ill feeling the KK episode brought him made things worse). Manager pay offs? Were the club still paying SBR or Roeder? If not he never inherited any 'pay-off' debt on that score. He sacked Sham and he sacked KK and got stung. We owed a fair bit out for Owen but we were still owed, (IIRC), approx £7-10M from Real Madrid for Woodgate. This I'm sure played a part in Shepherds thinking when paying way over the odds for him in the first place.

Happy birthday! You share it with my youngest!

Going down the ramp at Wembley way for the charity shield game, the queues were massive so I climb over the fence and jump on a van and from the van to the ground to save some time, (probably about 2 mins, but I was well served). The van was a police van, which I didn't realise when I jumped on it and a copper who was on the ramp was looking down telling me to 'come back here' in a rather effete southern way. I replied that I definitely would.....after the match and I crossed my heart so he knew I'd keep good on my promise. I got lucky or maybe not as the game was pure shit.

Well to be fair, I never knew the Directors had actually "assured" him on this point. We know they'd never mislead or lie to anyone so we can breathe easy now......so.......I also presume they "assured" him that the quality of the players and their affect on the team would enhance us and not make us weaker and that we'd keep a hold of our better players. Why do I not feel so "assured" as Cabaye. (first day in the job, every company seems great etc). You old cynic you. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.

Cheers, Nick.

I think it's what would need to be paid for Ashley to break even. Just got it from the link in robs delloite thread and they don't go into detail. Purchase price £132 Million, repaying pre-exisiting debts of £70 Million (of which £45 Million was the stadium mortgage, the rest was "other loans") plus £27 Mill owed on transfers, whatever else since has been injected working capital. Did we not have any transfer fees owed to us? It's just I've heard the fact that we owed outstanding amounts ad nauseum from different sources defending Ashley, but rarely hear of any amounts that we were waiting on and as the football world largely pays in installments I find this a bit odd. Just saying, like.

Theres only one sad cunt in this thread and thats you, billy no mates and a water drinking, grassing wanker to boot. Every now and again you let your guard slip and show what an arrogant prick you really are. Its sad to think that one day you'll have children and bring them up the same, bitter, arrogant and miserable as fuck. The patients you treat will be better company than you, that I don't doubt. You posted your wedding photos on the internet to share with people you don't know, what the fuck is wrong with you?.......if thats not a definition of sad I'm not really sure what is. "There's something........I'm getting.........Yes........there's definitely some kind of tension here!"

I can't look forward to the future as the cunt has kicked me out of my seat.....AGAIN!

I remember Paddocklad saying he was banned for the most ridiculous thing on there, (N.O). No warning, no tell off, just a permanent ban. Never been tempted to even have a look after that tale and their apparent fondness for our current owner and mate.

I tried to kick a family out of their caravan in Estartit when I was 18 and full of beer and vodka on my first night, telling them it was my caravan. They let me crash on their sofa and I thanked them by spewing in the middle of the night before walking out the door and falling asleep on the grass. I woke up and couldn't remember any of this until one of the fathers daughters spotted me a week later and told me about it. I felt a bit bad and took them round a bottle of wine as a 'sorry'. Didn't get into the lass which was no surprise when you think about it.

Climbing on the bus stop just outside the old 'Apollo' cinema at the bottom of Shields Road on a sunny teatime and smiling serenely and waving at the people on the top deck of the buses. I was fucking blotto that day on cheap 8% abv cider (and I don't even like the stuff).

Would we notice?

Woke up on the roof of an old works building, it was tiled and obviously slanted. I'm in no way religious but I sometimes wonder about the old belief of God watching over a drunk.

;) Who 'foisted' Shearer and KK on him? For that statement alone he loses any cedibility he may think he has. Another point, everyone who insists he's cleared us of debt and there's a few, can you just point me to the press release where Llambias or whomever has said, 'he's paid up all your debts for you, you're now debt free, you owe nobody a penny, me included'. Of all the people who are either pro-Ashley or just willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, (which is fair enough in its own right and they're entitled to their say), some put some good arguments over and then there's bell helmets like this knob. He is the one who really doesn't have a clue. Nothing personal, fact, etc, etc.
