Happy Face

I'll be elated if it happens, you'll be disappointed if it doesn't. You need to recalibrate your expectations, not me

Fucking hell thought it was bad here, have you seen the snow on the M40?...its about as white as John Terry's fantasy football team! Chubby brown

Is this not embarrassing.... http://www.blackcatchat.info/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=371

If we can't do it, then its a terrible value bet. ...and we can't. CTs from the mackem end of shields, so he starts some mackemesque threads. It shouldn't be taken seriously.

Still a couple of inches of snow in cullercosts, but not snowing. Supposed to be 5 degrees today. So it'll be alreet

Don Draper must be shitting himself.

seriously? (o_o) we won... eh ... shit... i think you may be right... i did never notice that ... Almost half the games we won last season (and so far this) were against relegated (or relegation placed) teams.

Had scathing reviews. Put me off.

Watching hoarders. Fucking animals.

I was on telly applauding Ben Arfa's come back when he came on as sub. Well, my clapping hands were and all the other lads

"I was a drum major for justice, peace and righteousness" tbh

Nope

Lot's of "One Tim Krul!" for me on Sunday. Wouldn't want to give Shay stick, but he could do with a bit of indirect nose rubbage. Zoggy on the other hand, I'll tell he's a cunt.

Sod the players, they get tens of thousands for running round in the cold for 90 minutes. We're paying for the pleasure of freezing wa tits off. Long Johns oot for the lads.

It better not snow

No

Ooooh, close but no cigar. I want to change it for you, really I do, but I need a link If I'm £2.5m out on every tranfer you'll be able to produce a contrasting list to show how Ashley actually has a net spend.

So you're absolutley certain it was £10m cos Luke Edwards said so all the time (which he never).... and cos Sky said £9m? Tell you what. Post a link to one paper dated after the 19th quoting £9m or £10m and I'll go with that, just for you. I literally do not give a single fuck beyond a ballpark figure.

Don't forget Ameobi. He's scored in the Champions league.

Again, failure to show your working. There's one (Shearer) article I can find where Luke Edwards refers to £10m - from the day he arived, hardly a consistent insistence, and the £10m mentioned is not even in the body of the article and does nothing to contradict the multitude of stories that say it's an ultimate incentive based total. You are the one cherry picking, every single story out there contradicts your number apart from the two from the same day in the Chronicle. Why should i prove that every single media publication includes this, thats ridiculous? If you think that the 7.5m figure persisted and was the reflected and considered opinion of anyone after the transfer date, then find the article and show us. Do i think you pick numbers that suit whatever point you are trying to support? Yes. Do i think you're intellectually honest? No. You're in a Leazesesque circular argument of dwindling returns, refusing to back it up with any sources whatsoever. You said only one report mentioned £7.5m. I produced 4 instantly that said it, not only on the day, but in the following days and in many publications. You said Edwards has repeatedly referred to £10m, and you can't show anywhere he's done that apart from the dubious one I mention from the same day of my multiple reports. I've even looked at his tweets going back a fortnight. Getting tedious.

"Some might say By the time the business was sold , it was in financial chaos. Financially, it was in a worse state in 2007 than it had been in 1990 when SJH acquirted it. I for one, am not one of those people." "By the time the business was sold , it was in financial chaos. Financially, it was in a worse state in 2007 than it had been in 1990 when SJH acquirted it. But then, in 17 years football finance on the whole had gone mad, having bigger debts in 2007 than in 1990 is true of just about every club in the league, and NUFC were one of the few to make something of that increased expenditure." Must be one of those two, right?

I don't give a shit what we pay for who. I'd be happy to sell 11 players a season, raking in hundreds of millions if the free transfers we brought in to replce them were better. This thread was started years ago though. At a time when Ashley and his odious mouthpiece were harping on about the money they were pumping in to bankroll the club Abramovich stylee. It was interesting then, to note the totals when you couldn't believe a word they were saying. Now they've stopped spouting bollocks I'm not so fussed. I'll keep it going though, cos they could always start spouting bollocks again.

Agreed Our players shouldn't need any motivating at all. Like Pardew says, 15 cup finals and they shouldf be busting a gut for the champions league place. Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal have the burden of expectation and players with a divine right complex.

Aye You'll see we aren't in a champions league place. Thought you wanted to discuss the improving and worsening form though.
