The vast majority of our players couldn't give a shit and would/will happily milk the club dry

One things for sure, i'd much rather have gone through the last 2 seasons with Shepherd.

Aye, should have played the otehr fella, Joe Lewis. Pearce made a big deal over them both having the same ability, and playing this guy infront as the experience would be more valuable. Whoops That said, we're non existant upfront without Agbonlahor and Campbell

Not a good start to the second half

If you don't laugh you'll cry

Fuck, I wish I had a spare £606,464.92

Wanted a Brazil vs Spain final tbh

Yes, I remember it well.

Dundee away on August 2nd http://www.nufc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsD...1696356,00.html And Two more friendlies for the reserves. Blythe and Whitney Bay http://www.toontastic.net/board/index.php?...20&start=20

Getting some experience for when we're in League One, I see. Hopefully we'll have more pre seaons fixtures against someone remotely good

I like a bit of Gogol Bordello every now and then, they remind me a bit of System of a Down. Wouldn't want to listen to either of those particularly often, mind

Totally worth it.

"would me nominal"?

There's clearly some exaggeration/lying somewhere in this story. Well he has a plaster on his thumb, maybe it just whacked that (pretty fucking hard, admittedly). I guess its like if someone shot you and the bullet only graced your shoulder it wouldn't blow your arm off, just scratch it. Would have been much better if it had knocked his head off or something, mind.

Four in frame to take over Newcastle United Jun 11 2009 by Dan Warburton, Evening Chronicle FOUR potential buyers are in the frame to take over Newcastle United. A consortium represented by former chairman Freddy Shepherd is believed to have staged meetings with investment bankers Seymour Pierce yesterday. The group headed by the former United chairman are currently combing the club’s finances, in a period known as ‘due diligence’. But it is believed they will face hefty competition from an as yet unknown wealthy South African businessman. The Chronicle understands he lodged a serious bid yesterday afternoon and could be set toenter a period of due diligence today as he checks Newcastle United’s financial footings. Those two bids are at an advanced stage but the Singapore-based Profitable Group fronted by former Liverpool Player Steve McMahon remain serious contenders. The group, whose interest was revealed by the Chronicle on Tuesday, issued a statement via their own website confirming their efforts to buy the Tyneside club. It read: “The Profitable Group can confirm that it has expressed an initial interest in acquiring Newcastle United. “A preliminary discussion with the representatives appointed to handle the sale of the club has been held, but contrary to some reports no direct talks have been held with either the wwner, Mike Ashley, or the chairman, Derek Llambias. “The Group consider the leaking of The Group’s interest in this matter unfortunate, and as supporters of Newcastle United seek only to serve in the best interests of the club, the fans and the local community. The Group will not be making any further comment at the present time.” Also still in the running but yet to make a firm bid is an Omani consortium, Sultan Oabood bin Said who is reported to be worth around £1.1bn is said to be involved in the potential offer. The 68-year-old’s family control the Gulf state and it is understood he could provide any future United manager with a significant transfer war chest. A source close to negotiations said: “The Freddy Shepherd consortium and a South African businessman appear to be most advanced but others remain serious contenders. The Shepherd consortium are going through the books.” Commentators in South Africa believe any move by an entrepreneur from that country could be stalled by Newcastle’s £100m price tag. Kgomotso Mokoena, a sports reporter with Johannesburg-based newspaper the Sunday Times, said: “Everybody here considers a move out of reach for many South African businessmen. The club would not come cheap and it might be a long shot for anyone here. There was speculation around six months ago of a South African buyout but that disappeared.” Also says Hughtons in stand by for next season 3rd time lucky?

Wasn't there some stat a while ago about how Liverpool won a higher percentage of games without Gerrard? Without Gerrard Won 43% With Gerrard Won 71% Without Geremi Won 23% With Geremi Won 13% Can't believe I just compared (or even contrasted) gGeremi with Ronaldo and Gerrard. At a point in the season both were the case (maybe Geremi was last year, not sure)

Wasn't there some stat a while ago about how Liverpool won a higher percentage of games without Gerrard? And that we were better off with Geremi in the team

They claim to be no nonsense yet they bullshitted about being in contact with Ashley from the off.

I don't think hes doing degree level physics, I think its GCSE? He made some thread about GCSE ICT ages ago (not sure why I remember that) and its unlikely you'd be studying French & Physics Physiques. Hoheehoheeho (as they say in Paree). Close without the s. Aye, didn't want to spoil it for him though

I wonder what the odds for having a +50 goal difference at the end of the group stages were

Aye, according to SSN today was the last day anyone could buy them, else they went into administration - so they had little choice.

Expect him to put an official statement about it on the website with an email along side it some time soon "Closing down sale, all stock must go! 80% off"

Even if you were a massive racist you'd be an idiot if you voted for the BNP. Their stupid policies aren't just stupid because they're racist
