He's not a fan, he's another fuckin wum. Wouldn't know the Gallowgate End from his own bell end.

""You can look at naming rights - a strong, brave decision, because we know it's such an emotional subject. "So why do it? Because we need to bring in more income, more commercial income This is where journo's fail miserably...why didnt Simon Bird ask him how much SD are paying for the privelige? I really don't think he's going to get banned from the ground for asking that. Apart from that, we've heard it all before, and to be fair its largely posistive.

all these long contracts are very fishy iyam. Is this another cost cutting measure from Ashley?....are they on half the money a premier league coach or manager should be on so theyve doubled the length of a normal contract?.... This means if they leave for another club, NUFC have saved a fortune. If NUFC sack them, theyd have to pay the full 8 years money up. Which doesnt make a lot of sense for anyone tbh....its not an incentive to do well, but there will almost certainly be huge bonuses for success. Ashley does beleive in rewarding employees who have done well for him.

Theres been a lot of people on here pre judging Merveux as being a very good player too, and lets face it,as we speak he's been shite ....has Merveux played any more or less than Ferguson in the last two seasons?.....its far too early to judge either tbh so get your hand out your pants and put the kleenex down CT. Fergie may be the next Nile Ranger, who came on and changed the game v Liverpool no more than 18 months ago and looked for all the world like a skinny Emile Heskey, only 3 times as good. I admit thats unlikely, but you really cant tell with younger players. Ferguson has got to break into the side first and whether we like it or not Gutierrez is one of the first names on the team sheet and is likely to be next season as well. That may see Fergie disillusioned, and he might even leave to get first team football elsewhere, which would, it appears, mobilise suicide watch UK into action in the Boldon, Tyne & Wear area. If you ask me to I'd say we're looking at a left footed Wayne Routledge. Undeniably talented, but far too small to make a big impact due to the hugely physical nature of the league he plays in. I hope to be proved wrong on that.

Hmm...doesnt say how much they have paid for Bates & co's shares...

De Gea, Vermijl, M Keane, Wootton, Buttner, Fletcher, Cleverley, Anderson, Rooney, Welbeck, Chicharito back four looks a bit...unknown?...very experianced apart from that. Tiote will have to impose himself on weak-ish (all things considered...Fletcher over his dicky tummy?) midfield.

Its not about transfer fees as such, its about paying champions league wages to attract champions league type players. Buliding up a kitty for that is very important. We've got 4 players here of that standard who got huge increases on what they earned on the continent when they joined (Cab,BA,Tiote and Cisse) but to get to the next level we have to continue to recognise that Ashley isnt putting any more of his own money in and everything we spend on players including their salaries has to be generated.Not all players are going to accept what we pay atm and those who have will want more next time round. Premier League type prize money is going to contribute hugely to that (500k a place?) so in that regard its right to concentrate on the league iyam.

My sisters eldest girl spent so much time with my mother when she was a nipper she strarted pronouncing her words with the same Manc accent as the old dear....she now speaks like all the rest of the her Scottish classmates. So its not really an issue iyam CT, but am sure it will remain one for you

Yeah but how many now agree that we didnt need Europe this season?...thats the point, the squad was never going to be good enough under Ashley's recruitment policy. Theres so many moaning about not giving Europe more of a bash after doing well to qualify. So you've got to balance it some way. If finishing in the top 7 is 5million minimum then the club may prioritise the league, which is what appears to be happening. Anybody know the prize money list is?...I've looked everywhere, can't find the fucker..

Anyone seen him play?...is he a poacher or has he more of the Pedro about him?....is he able to create for himself and others? if its the latter then he should be playing in the likes of this game. If he doesnt get involved further back in the build up then its a bit more tricky to include him iyam.

So would I. How much is the prize money for the BPL placings?....my google skills are shit, I cant find it anywhere. Is finishing say 5th-7th worth more money than finishing 10th and getting to the semis/final of the Europa?

Is anyone of the opinion that there are better tablets out there for ipad 3 money?...mrs pl's laptop is fucked and am encouraging her to go down the tablet route but have heard theres stuff the ipad wont do that others will for less money?...

If we had a season or two's finance from the champions league would we increase our chances of winning trophies in general?....my heart says trophy but the head says champions league. Thats if Ashley opens his wallet of course. The Debuchy saga showed how he works, but if it was suggested last season that >5mill was too much for a 27 year old full back then I think many would have agreed.

Sounds a bit strange to me, unless its just a refurb of the exisitng (empty?) ones at th Leazes End. The article only mentions full boxes in the Milburn and South West Corner.

Wolfy the Wummer

Thats astonishing. Thats the first time theyve gone into print and dared to criticise Eddie Mitchell and his Russian money laundering mate. Thats a banning for the only local paper from the ground, which may be either an inspired piece of attention grabbing from the Echo or suicide for their circualrion figures as their football coverage is about the only reason to buy the fuckin thing Bournemouth have always been somebody's cash cow, haven't they Harry?

She likes Sheldon

Wait till he see's what Mrs PL has got her eye on.....as seen on Big Bang Theory...

The true cost of an iphone 5?.... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/apple/9563637/Apple-iPhone-5-sales-overshadowed-by-riots-at-Chinese-factory.html

Getting to the final would ensure one of the greatest piss ups in the club's history so I think Pardew is right to prioritise this one If we got to the semi's some would change their tune am sure..

The present government are cutting in a way that makes Thatcher look like she had a light touch CT. Google what the benefit bill was last year.

Are there any figures of what was saved in the 80s when publicly funded industry was shut down v the cost of benefits in those communities affected now?...it would make an interesting comparison,. Reap what you sow and all that...

If she knew of the cover up, and did nothing to prevent bullshit evidence going to the inquest, that wouldnt necessarily mean she or any other ministers of the time were culpable in the cover up?...ok, fair enough. Not how I see it but there you go. I don't live in hope of anything, I think theres more to come out, possibly when those still alive from SYP start getting fingered again after a possible new inquest, which some bereaved family members do want. Far be it for me to defend Jack Straw, but are you referring to this?... Mr Straw wrote to the then Attorney-General, John Morris: "I am certain that continuing public concern will not be allayed with a reassurance from the Home Office that there is no new evidence. I therefore propose that there should be an independent examination of the alleged new evidence by a senior legal figure." At the end of June 1997, he met Lord Justice Stuart-Smith, appointed to lead the review. He told him that his officials had already looked at the case and concluded that "there was not sufficient evidence to justify a new inquiry". That was in June 1997, a decade before the Hillsborough panel was even thought of. The only new evidence came as a result of the panel's findings. But I do accept the panel's findings did paint him in an incredibly poor light, he certanly appears to be sweeping the whole thing under the carpet: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/ios-hillsborough-exclusive-revealed--the-critical-role-of-jack-straw-8165990.html But he didnt let the original bent evidence through to the inquest, which may only be morally bankrupt as well, equally perhaps not, plainly am not a lawyer. We'll see.

Thats what I was thinking....whats happened to the Christmas "Dr Goodvibes" Tree we used to know and love tolerate?
