Happy Face

Exactly what the Swiss Ramble has done in yesterdays article.... 4. What difference has Ashley really made to the club’s profit?

LM'd your post, this thread has gone on far too long without derailment.

Exactly, so where has the Swiss Rample plucked these 11/12 numbers from... The only mention In the accounts is the one I referenced above of £8.5m spent since and £7.25m pulled in.

Seals it for me, there's clearly a catastrophe on the way.

He's not saying owt people in here haven't. He was on motd2 saying the same thing. "Quarter of the season to go...." Quarter 1 - NUFC 3rd, LFC 6th Quarter 2 - NUFC 10th, LFC 5th Quarter 3 - NUFC 9th, LFC 17th Quarter 4 - ?

"Life in a Northern Town" The bloke's a mug!

If another statistic were needed to emphasise how well Newcastle are doing financially, try this for size: they made more money than any other club in the Premier League last season with their profit of £32.6 million. This was ahead of the cash machine known as Manchester United (£30 million), the low spending Blackpool (£21 million) and the widely admired Arsenal (£15 million). Three clubs (Liverpool, Sunderland and Birmingham City) have still to publish their accounts for 2010/11, but there is no chance of them emulating Newcastle’s performance. Pocketed!

severance payments made to departing managers, including Graeme Souness, Glenn Roeder, Sam Allardyce and Keegan amounted to a staggering £14 million between 2006 and 2009 Ouch!

Interested in this one..... The 10/11 operating loss was £4m which became a £32m profit after player trading...which suggests £36m earned. The accounts that just came out also say that subsequent to the balance sheet date we've spent £8.5m (including associated costs) and and earned £7.25m...which I work out as a £1.25m net spend. Where am I going wrong?

Any way to make the pictures bigger without going all pixely?

That's the nub of it. The illusion of being able to do something when you're totally and utterly helpless. More about comforting ones self, convincing yourself you're now an active and contributing member of his recovery. I prefer the hashtag #donatetohttp://www.c-r-y.org.uk/

I like him. Hope he starts on Sunday. Brap.

As long as it's not in the 'Other Games' thread.

That's why it's a "faith".

Atheists should be clever enough to turn the other cheek, set the christians an example.

So Tiote's fake account is saying it's all lies. Ah whey that's it then. The facts are these, Tiote is going to Chelsea for £23m. Krul is going no where. Why do the club follow Tiote's fake account? EDIT: Aha! They don't any more

Of course. Not a religion,are they They are in the US. Not here though. Who decides?

Cheick Tiote All lies about 1 hour ago from Twitter for BlackBerry®

Absolutely. He's seemingly crawled up his own arse lately. I don't have a problem with anyone practicing their religion and keeping it to themselves or sharing it with people who ask to get involved. Anyone that does probably won't get mocked by Ricky Gervais either. But if someone says to me "Pray for Muamba" I think it's fair to respond to that request with whatever level of scorn I see fit.

Can we still mock the Scientologists?

Buffon, Neuer, De Gea, Peruzzi, Muslera... http://en.wikipedia....l)#Highest_fees Gordon was £9m and Krul is twice the keeper.

Like Spurs

Surely short termism is whats required when you have injuries and loss of form? No. Not unless it's a cup final. Anyway, it's not that kind of short termism (x is injured/out of form, let's play y) it's in the sense of both players are fit and have had good and bad games recently, but you're basing your view on the one previous game. 3 months ago you were saying... Hopefully Williamson will come in for Perch http://www.toontastic.net/board/topic/32066-newcastle-v-west-brom-wed-21st-kick-off-745pm/page__p__1013439#entry1013439 I've no doubt if Perch came in and had a shocker at CB against WBA/Liverpool you'd be clamouring for Williamson to come in again. Battering both lads' confidence in an ever spiralling descent into unsettled tag team defending.

I think war precedes religion. I've not checked, but I think it does. Certainly the 4 current major organised religions.

That's spot on like. No doubt there will have been many people who say grace before dinner that will have included the lad in their prayers, but it'll be a tiny minority of the people that have actually said "pray4Muamba!". The vast majority are just conflating 'pray' and 'hope'.
