open a beer and I'll send you one.

WE'LL SMASH THESE WORTHLESS WANNABE CHELSEA COCKENDS!

that Dungeons and Dragons cartoon was canny at the time.

your mum will be upset about that Kev, take it down.

this poll without the 'Ashley is a mug option' telling a slightly different story to Stevie's which is about 50/50 does this demonstrate how easily influenced people are?

he got his fingers burned and the fans turned on him, it was then the fun stopped and the hard nosed businessing came to the fore, although I am sure they were bubbling under anyway.

in terms of ambition, 17th

It's not that is not a good price, it's that we all know we are highly unlikely to replace him with anyone nearly as effective.

Carroll would have stayed I reckon for 60k pw

people said £15mill was crazy when we bought Shearer. Was he poor value?

time will tell, it'll be interesting and possibly desperately sad to see him on Liverpool's all time list in five years.

I've only just seen (and voted) in this poll, soz for the repetition

just for the avoidance of doubt; I am FUCKING disgusted and still furious at this sale, and yet unsurprised and tragically resigned. Doomed, just fucking doomed. Impact on lost morale seemed to have been managed following Chris's departure, but this will rebound the Hughton affair and Pardew will now have no credibility with the players. His best hope is to try and establish a 'them and us' seige mentality by backing the players and agreeing they are all in the same boat - steered erratically by a porcine megalomaniac fucktard. but I think Pards is an MA lacky, a dishonourable brown nosing guttersnipe. So it won't happen. Just avoid relegation thanks to some old heads who do it for the fans.

Yeah, that's it in a nutshell for me and ties in with my belief there hasn't been a plan in place since the KK debacle plus the notion he changes his mind like the wind in regard to the club. and has learned through disaster to only employ people who greedily suck his micropenis.

Let's see what you think then? I appreciate to keep him we would have had to increase his pay etc, but just in simplistic terms. Right or not?

do the majority say that?

taken from 'United for Newcastle'

sums it up really, he's a hardballing opportunist.

Perhaps not but let's see how many renew next season. An empty St James park is looking more and more like the only voice we have, and it will never happen. We deserve what we get until we stop going imo. Gate revenue don't touch the sides mate, Sky have seen to that. It's not about revenue, it's about a unified FUCK YOU, WE ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE. But it will never happen, so we'll have to suck it up ad nauseum.

This stable financial footing Ashley claims to be putting us on. 1. Do you believe it? i.e. that MA is working toward making NUFC more sustainable? 2. Will it be a platform to challenge or is it merely to engineer profit? 3. If the football bubble ever does burst (I don't think it will) will we really be in a better position to exploit the post-bubble neo-prem? 4. Once he has this stable footing, how many years of that before we will compete again, if ever? I mean how many years of uncompetitive stability before even the MA backers realise he is never going to show ambition or win anything, or will we actually push on and how long may that take? 5. What price do you think he would take for the club now? You have to factor in the ££££'s free advertising his company is getting too....how much for his international billboard? Is Sports Direct expanding internationally? That would make his continued 'sponsorship' highly valuable and very cheap. 6. And so we can have a laugh in September, what amount of £35m will be spent on transfer fees in the summer?

Of the ones worth remembering something like this...seeing as no one else is sticking their neck out. Shearer Beardsley (not strictly a striker I know) Cole Ferdinand/Carroll Tino Ferguson Owen/Martins Sibierski Who am I forgetting who actually means anything? I never thought Fegurson was that good for us. Carroll is more mobile and did more for the team - this is why he is up so high after a short spell in the top flight. I truly think we have lost a potential international superstar and remain gutted about it.

Perhaps not but let's see how many renew next season. An empty St James park is looking more and more like the only voice we have, and it will never happen. We deserve what we get until we stop going imo.

you leave town tonight, right now. And when you're gone, you stay gone, or you be gone. You lost all your Gateshead privileges.
