http://www.toffs.com/Newcastle-United-1980-1983-Home-Shirt/productinfo/1596/ Did you get one of these in the end Davey?.....a month of night shift is leaving me with a slighlty surprising cash surplus in late January....

Someone on a blog has done a comparison of the signiture on the letter and an authenticated autograph from him and lets just say its enough to cast doubt on the letter itself. Fuck knows whats gone on really but he'll likely be off in the summer iyam.

Welcome to the forum btw musty, I'm a miserable bastard. Have your kegs dried out from the formation thread yet? In the words of The Wolf "I don't think we should be sucking each other's dicks just yet".... no one knows how this is going to pan out so a premature build up of over confidence, although to be expected, may be mispaced. Chill the fuck out, no one has seen these new lads cross a white line in anger with a black and white shirt on.

Aye, both. Good point about the team having about 10 minutes to learn how to play together. So fuckin short sighted all this. I'd honestly love it if we pulled clear of the bottom in the league and did well in Europe now this season but when the world and his wife knew this was all required in the summer and 4 months later it appears we do have the money for good solid investment then it just shows yet again the way Ashley will go out of his way to try to save a few quid. He completley failed to build on last seasons good work. If he cares about NUFC as a "project" then he has a funny way of showing it, even if he has, eventually.

Including wages for 4 new contracts its got to be a 20mill+ window......fuckin hell....was Ashley on drugs and forgot to do all this in the summer?....

Is the fellah on the right also a TT poster then?

Is/was Rafa a doper?...is he suffering for it now?...

Won the last set 6-2. The final will be epic. Great to see him starting to fulfill his potential as a player.

I see your quote, fair one. But normally you cant be suspended from your graft for being charged with an offence. Possibly something footballers have in their contracts to stop the err "good name of the club" being tarnished. I think thats rocky ground legally mind.

If you're charged with an offence it doesnt automatically mean you're suspended from your job though. See Titus Bramble for details.

Fed wins 4th set tie break....hell of a match!

why? he's been charged with nothing. Unless the lass works for the club why would he be suspended?.... Am not denying he's a waste of fuckin space as a footballer. No club is going to take him on his wages though so it looks like we're stuck with him. But he's also a human being with the same legal rights as the rest of us.

Murray about to serve for the match....he's beasted Fed tbh, so much power despite a couple of lapses in concentration.

Such as what?....he was found not guilty of assault a couple of months back and, whilst this is undoubtedly an unsavoury incident by the sounds of it, it should be noted he's not been charged with anything and woman+hotel room+footballer = no doubt one persons word against the other. And a whole load of women "at it", see the present court case involving Brighton players. Hes been capreted for being late for training...thats about it iirc.

This may be concentrating his mind on us...from the Guardian... Florian Thauvin, Bastia's 19-year-old attacking midfielder is another player on Newcastle's shopping list and is likely to arrive at either St James' Park or Arsenal for around £4m before the end of next week.

Ignore me. A week of nights, got in at 5, cant get back to sleep. But crowd chanting at Tennis is just wrong, they sound fuckin ridiculous. Meenzer, ask David Kelly about the Cabaye song in Bruges. Him and his mates invented it and sang for 6 hours non stop. Bastards. I told him at the time Billy Ray Cyrus was about as cool as wearing a mullet. Murray breaks Federer....if he wins this service game he does anyway...

So how long did Goufran have left on his Bordeaux deal? is that why he was cheap? We wouldnt have signed Goufran if the Remy deal hadnt fallen through iyam.If we were that keen why try to spend 8 mill on Remy? Definetly a second choice. The Remy deal wasnt cheap, so in bringing in a striker the first thought wasnt "who can we get on the cheap?" Good money was avalable for Remy but I doubt if it is now seeing as weve spent over 15 million this window. We paid the same money or very similar to what we were quoted in the summer for Debuchy. We didnt get 3 or 4 million knocked off a for a player with 5 months left on his contract. I think it was just another roll of the dice for Ashley in the summer and it failed spectacularly. He tried to wing it and it blew up in his face. Thats why we've signed 5 players this month rather than trying to be canny about players' contracts at the selling club. The only one you could have possibly said that about is Sissoko but weve ended up paying money even for him becauae his club told him to fuck off for trying to sign a pre contract so he could walk away for nowt in the summer.

Crowd chanting players' names at tennis.....why don't they all go and fuck off? Its just embarassing. "lets go murray lets go" lame as fuck.

Dunno....have we saved a million on Debuxhy? is Gouffran anything other than 2nd choice after Remy? Sissoko fair enough in a way, looks like he didnt want to wait till the summer to join. I think it was was a case of "there ya go Awl, if it aint broke why faakin fix it?" from Ashley in the summer. Chronically short sighted with a Euro campaign ahead. And if we're so keen on the money side, how much do we lose by finishing in the bottom six as opposed to the top 8?...

If the next 4 months are a distinct improvement it will be disappointing in a way, a huge missed oppurtunity to keep in touch with the top 6. Got to agree though am looking forward to seeing the new lads play

Am not giving any praise to any fucker for all these signings as they shouldve spent the money in the summer....we might not be 2 points above the drop zone if they had....

This was reported before christmas wasnt it? That he'd be signing a pre contract deal with us this month...

Bit gutted we missed out on Bong meself...
