Disagree. No way of advancing the next level without selling.Sadly, Its all about money. Thats the next step. If we do sell Cabaye say, could we pay a better player more with what we generate from the sale?...it seems unlikely, but thats the way we've got to go, in the short term at least. Ashley's wallet is closed.

Wigan away attracts the sort of bell end that invaded the pitch at Darlo....lots of tickets available, relatively short travelling distance. Twats

No. I thought you were stating that buying music through itunes is the way ahead. Apologies for any misunderstanding

I'm not clinging to anything CT......Ashley's already shat himself once financially during his time here. After that he made changes; "we wipe our own mouth" etc...if thats the case the income has to be generated. Outside of selling the very good players we have, how do we steal a march on the other clubs with a similar income? If we do (when we do?) start selling to increase revenue for other hopefully better players, perhaps on bigger wages, then we may kick on. If not, we'll probably stay mid table ish. Doesn't take a genius to work that out, which is good news for you..and Mike

70p a go though, thats the point. Theres more than one way to skin a rabbit, young(ish) Jedi

Cheers for the replies re music gents. Still dont know wtf to do

Cost isnt a factor really as I'm getting the ipad for nowt. Anyone got an opinion on the Samsung Galaxy S3?

So obviously everthing on your itunes is available through the icloud?...and I take it that you cant use google's cloud service on an iphone/pad?...grooveshark/spotify ok on ios?.. Thing is, I've got a laptop as it is. If I'm sourcing music from other "places" I get the option of putting it on to itunes if I wish to. Does this get round the problem or is my IT moron brain missing something?

http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/massadio-haidara-tackle-ref-mark-1967777 Halsey sent to Coventry as punishent....doesnt mention the lino...

I'm about to get a brand new ipad mini....for free!...scratch that, am getting 4 of the fuckers for introducing new customers to the accountancy firm I use I'm also in the market for a new phone...what are the pros and cons of going completly apple?...never had an iphone, been using a nokia lumia for 15 months and it needs to go away for its 3rd software re boot so fuck that. Phones4u said theyd pay my contract up (till next Jan) if i trade the lumia in with them, there may be a charge depending on what phone I pick. Am looking at a Samsung S3 which a lot of folk say is the nuts, but am unsure...going to Lisbon next week need to do this Saturday...

Well yeah we could get a better coach in, but Ashley likes someone who "owes" him and if they dont jump to his tune and accept decade long contracts in lieu of a shorter but better paid one, there may be problems. The list of better coaches than Pardew willing to accept this is short I imagine. And more than likely not English. It could work. But I'd be very wary. The other thing as you say is Pardew's role....he's the coach, part of the recruitment "team" but nowhere near the head of it. He's part of how a modern football club is set up. My mates dad has just retired from being Facilities Manager at St Mary's for Southampton FC. He says Adkins was seen as being on the same level as him, another "middle manager". For me, it looks like Ashley likes a similar set up.

And CT certainly didnt mention that the complete and uttter football genius that is Mike Ashley actually continues to employ a certain Mr A. Pardew....so everything in CT's NUFC garden isnt as rosey as he's painting it...he wants to break the most important relationship at the football club. We are where we are, and we'll be this sort of club for as long as Ashley is in charge. Unless FFP somehow magically cripples the 3 wealthiest clubs we'll be very fortunate indeed to win anything. We can challenge for the top 4 regularly if Graham Carr keeps on delvering the goods player wise. Am happy enough with that, but am fucked if I'm going to give Ashley any credit for it. Trotting along like this is the bare minimum we should expect. Competence doesnt = genius.

Who's better who would work for the money Pardew is on though?...

Why this week in particular?...end of the tax year?...are the latest set of books being made public?...

Been away this weekend, just seen that don't know if its enough to stop him being the next tory leader....we're getting more and more Americanised in politics so Boris may just seen as our George Bush junior... a laughably stupid establishment placeman with next to no power but nominally running the country,

Micky Flanagan tonight at the BIC....a lot, lot better than I was expecting... if the (tbf, entirely genuine) cockney wide boy persona doesn't grate too much hes a good story teller and "funny in between jokes", good crack tbh.

Look at Cisse's goals from last season and tell me he can't score all sorts of goals. That he hasn't done it as frequently as he did for 7 weeks last season is neither here nor there. He posseses that ability.

Put yourself in Taylor's shoes...would you be happy with a 34 year old with 26 caps playing out of posistion in your place, against a bunch of part timers, on what could be your first cap? Smalling and Lescott, ok theyre both centre backs not a lot he can say. But starting a midfielder in there?

Am I missing something here...Vigo? in Spain?...

These posts get to the heart of the heart of the matter. The FA think theyre being consistent, but applying a bit of logic and common sense to the thing and it is for all the world to see a fuckin ludicrous situation.

pick the bones out of that on google CT!

The penalty for the tackle (i.e. "serious foul play" in the rule book) is a 3 game ban. See Shawcross on Ramsey.

Did the OP use his buses in the past then?...

Thats a no then Stop putting words into my mouth CT. I've never made any claims on behalf of any government. You're the one making these claims then googling to see if theres anything to back them up.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2013/mar/19/england-michael-carrick-defence-san-marino Theyre going to play Carrick at centre back according to this Taylor cant handle the sub conference standard attack of San Marino then? What is the fuckin point of calling him up if you're to humiliate the bloke by doing this?
