  1. Casting the net further afield apparently. http://www.gumtree.com/london/30/40036330.html Edit:
  2. omg!1 arrogant deluded geordie!1 Been typecast bonnie lad. They better sort all this quickly out as I just had my Joe Kinnear tattoo partially bleached off by wor lass and replaced with Big Al, and to tell the truth, my cock, as behemothic as it is, doesn't have too much space left for another manager. Once we get round to Clarkie I'm afraid the poor lad will have to go on my nuts.
  3. we will shrug off all this nonsense and finish second.
  4. that last one looks photoshopped tbh.
  5. Add an 'oooooooooh' in there and that looks like a direct quote from Kenneth Williams.
  6. You're spot on Kitman mate, but none of us would've dreamt that was the macabre outcome of boyo's tenure. A fucking disastrous buy. Shit choice for captain too imho.
  7. Never underestimate the strength of a Lancashire donkey.
  8. Fucking hell man, perspective required. Aye it's nothing a good donkey ride wouldn't eclipse. Something we can all look forward to next season.
  9. Alreet man, welcome. How you feel about Bruce then?
  10. We's he's are these he's?
  11. Well an hour is long enough for this to permeate, I feel. SSN shit stirring or my colleague's parents on the mescalin again.
  12. I'd expect nothing less tbf.
  13. I'll spill me coffee over her if nothing by close of play Axe.
  14. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/foo...icle6456878.ece From Times OnlineJune 8, 2009 Mike Ashley brings more embarrassment on Newcastle, says George Caulkin Short of putting the club up for sale on eBay, it is difficult to see how the club could have handled this morning's sale announcement any worse Mike Ashley, the Newcastle owner, has confirmed he wants to sell the club What does the news that Mike Ashley has set the asking price at £100m mean for Newcastle? It doesn't mean an awful lot because we knew all this anyway. We knew the club was up for sale because Mike Ashley had said so, we knew Seymour Pierce, the investment bank, had been brought in to run the sale so that wasn't new. People close to the sale said immediately that £100million was the asking price so again, it's not new. What this announcement has done is simply add another layer of embarrassment to the club. Short of putting it up for sale on eBay, it's hard to see how this could have been handled in a more amateurish way. To give an e-mail address for prospective buyers to contact the club is a very ham-fisted attempt to communicate with buyers and it's clearly been handled very badly. What they are trying to do is draw a line in the sand, by saying we won't entertain offers for £75m or £80m. This is Mike Ashley naming his price and perhaps he wants to weed out those buyers who aren't serious or might not have that money. There have been a couple of stories doing the rounds that local businessmen might be interested in buying the club at that level. But this announcement is saying it's a £100m or nothing. Do you think he will stick to that price given his apparent desperation to get rid of the club? I was told in the immediate aftermath of the club going up for sale a fortnight ago, that he would be very lucky to get anywhere near £100m. It's all very well saying this is the price but if no one is prepared to pay it then he will be stuck with it. This happened when he put it up for sale once before over Christmas. The money he was asking was far too high and put people off. Again it wasn't handled very well and he had to take it off the market. It's just a very strange way of going about things. Yes, if you want to bargain with somebody then you do it in private, rather than public, but maybe this is just an attempt to sort the wheat from the chaff. Is there anyway you can see Ashley still owning Newcastle come the start of next season? His desire to get out is genuine, but then it always has been. It's impossible to sell something if someone doesn't want to buy it. Keith Harris, who is running the sale for Seymour Pierce, said over the weekend that there were a couple of very interested parties. You have to hope it gets done and quickly because as Alan Shearer says "everyday that passes, another Rome burns". Even if it was to go through tomorrow it could take a month to six weeks to get sorted out. Players are reporting back for pre-season on July 1, so the club is already up against it in terms of timing and getting players in and out. Speed is really of the essence. Is Freddie Shepherd a realistic buyer? I have been told not. Harris as of last week had not heard anything from him. There were more rumours over the weekend that he may come back into things, but people close to him have denied that. He wouldn't be able to afford it on his own, he would have to be part of a consortium, but it appears there is no truth in those rumours at the moment. What does this mean for Alan Shearer's future at the club? Yet more delays. He wanted it sorted out as early as possible. We were told there might be an announcement in the first week after relegation, then the second week, and last Friday was seen as a cut-off point. He is back from holiday today and as things stand still none the wiser. What we do know is that he is desperate to do the job, but not under any circumstances. He wants the best possible chance to get the club back into the Premier League. He doesn't simply want to be a figurehead for the Mike Ashley regime or anyone else. The club said straight after relegation that Shearer was 110 per cent their choice to be manager, but things don't look that way at the moment. Is there any prospect of Newcastle putting all this behind them before the start of next season? You get to the point where you think the club may have bottomed out, where you think that maybe the bad news is over and then something else happens. It's very difficult to look beyond the next few days where Newcastle are concerned. Newcastle have to appoint Alan Shearer as a matter of huge urgency. He's the one who gives them credibility with the supporters and credibility within football. He gives the club some stature with players who might come in and although it is wrong to talk about any kind of feel good factor after what has happened, he gives them something they don't otherwise have. Without him it is very difficult to see where they go.
  15. skinny, red hair. 5' 6" And I'm from Wbay, so fuck knows what she said.
  16. it was a colleague here from WBay and she screamed across the office, phone call from her Dad. Also said Shearer gone to WBrom, so bullshit detector now registering. But nothing at all would surprise me. If Mike were to asset strip would he get enough/more back? how much is the stadium and various sites worth?
  17. Friend just told me the whole squad is for sale, anounced on SSN. anyone seeing this?
  18. But can we afford to Hold out for a Hero?
  19. Shocked by this proposal, do we really want to Step Back in Time?
  20. You're a fucking calamitous conveyor belt Mike. Amazed he can still surprise me with how amateurishly he operates. He's probably busy going round the pubs in Canary Wharf, 'awight geeza, it's yawr lucky day, do I av a blindin' deal for you.'
  21. He burned a million quid. That either demonstrates or develops Grade A lunacy.
