  1. What Have I Done to Deserve This? pet shop boys
  2. Seems honest enough answer to me. He would prefer to stay and get promoted, but if the club decided to sell him he might not have much option. Came across well in the interview I thought
  3. "SO lets finish by asking the audience who thinks Newcastle will get promoted" .. .. . silence lone voice yes
  4. I cant be arsed looking, but hasnt the wage bill increased by ~20 million a year under Ashley. It seems to be accepted wisdom that FFS was a useless businessman, and clueless with money. It seems to me that he understood that you had to grow turnover and generate income, and to my untrained eye actually seemed to this pretty succesfully. Plainly he got stuff badly wrong(Souness) and gambled unsucessfully(Owen, Luque) which had left us in a position that was far from ideal, but I have yet to be convinced we were seconds from administration. I would rather have his brand of failure than Ashleys brand of success for sure. And to be honest I think we would have fared better with administration, 10 point deduction and FS in charge than Ashleys moronic performance Firstly, I wasn't say saying one was better than the other; although FS looks better when viewed through MA tainted glasses. I don't know about the wage bill either. There's no doubting he's signed some players on big money, and we have probably gotten rid of a few but it's a resonable assumption that it's higher now than when he took over. All I was comparing are the facts we know about. I dont think we were seconds away from administration either; but if the reported figures are true (weren't they back up by the published accounts) we were on a slippery slope. When you compare our state immediately before MA took over to now, it seems we are more in debt than ever and we've been relegated. This means our current financial commitments are such that we cannot sustain ourselves and yet we still have some of the same problems we had when he took over 2 yrs ago, which were the same problems we'd had for the 3yrs prior to that. I was trying to work out just how we are financially better off under MA as has been proffered by others. Going off the hard facts, was are not. I was agreeing - the only possible improvement in the financial position under Ashley is he claims to have paid off the debt Whether that turns out to be true, and if true has actually been beneficial is yet to be seen.

  6. Fuck the European Super League, NUFC are joining the Axis of Evil
  7. Quite right. In fact when you think about it KK is actually the sensible choice
  8. The media frenzy on this is going to be awsome
  9. Baby let me be your ever loving fan give me a drink I really love a bottle or a can bock bock bock bwaaaaaarck Its frothy man
  10. You are what you eat That makes me a big fat cunt (my favourite chubby brown joke)
  11. Don't you understand - We now have a DEADLINE
  12. The Wire Twin Peaks The Sopranos Whatever happened to the Likely Lads Interceptor Highlander I am astonished nobody has mentioned Interceptor yet
  13. Apocalypse Now The Philadelphia Story The Blues Brothers For no apparent reason I can see The Blues Brothers is showing today at the Cineworld in Brighton, so I will be watching that on the big screen again tonight Mrs Spongebob has watched The Chronicles of Riddick more times than any person alive
  14. Second that. Nothing else makes sense. To paraphrase Sherlock H;"when all possibilities have been elimiĀ­nated what remains, no matter how imĀ­probable, must be the answer." I could have a guess at it......... gwaan then
  15. I've got an increasing paranoia that there is some method to the seeming insanity, and things are going to get a whole lot worse.
  16. Why not, worked a treat when Ozzie tried it.
  17. *****uninformed speculation follows****** Are we actually reaching a point where Ashley would get more money by winding the club up and trying to get paid back some percentage of his "loans" to the club as a creditor?
  18. As depressing as it is predictable. I reckon he thinks if he doesnt get the price he wants JFK will get us promoted and he wil be able to hold out for an even bigger wedge. I have real doubts he wants to sell at all. Its a nightmare fo shure
