Christmas Tree

Is that the sum of your ambition? Would you consider 17th a good season? We were miles ahead of Villa and Spurs not so long ago, but now we should be satisfied with their cast offs? Don't forget Dr Ken... there's no 'long term' damage.... Precisely. CT, do you believe that we'll even be able to compete with the likes of Everton, Birmingham and Fulham for good players signatures, never mind Villa & Spurs. yes

They've said sorry.... get over it. Didnt Shepherd call Newcastle women dogs and laugh at the fans because he could rip them off with £5 tat shirts and then slag off Shearer???? When? And even if they did a snivelling, mealy-mouthed, insincere apology hardly makes up for the long-term damage they've done to NUFC. Dodgy, untrustworthy, classless liars who've made a packet selling sweatshop-made polyester tat to chavs, with no connection to the area? No thanks. Long term damage has yet to be proved and could infact be quite the opposite. So you will only settle for Geordie owners? So getting relegated is good for a club? That'll be a comfort to Hull and Portsmouth fans. Given the choice, I'd rather have owners who had an emotional connection to the club. You said long term damage. I dont yet see any long term damage. Infact a lot would say getting back up leaner and meaner is a blessing. But please tell me what the long term damage is? I am trying to understand some of the doom mongers, honest. Are you naive enough to assume that if we're back in the Premiership next season, it'll be just as it was at the start of the 08/09 season and it'll be like the period September 2008 - May 2009 never happened? Christ almighty... I simply just asked what the long term damage will be. Fucking simple question really

Is that the sum of your ambition? Would you consider 17th a good season? We were miles ahead of Villa and Spurs not so long ago, but now we should be satisfied with their cast offs? Get fucking real ffs Most fans would take survival in our first year back. Ofcourse its not the sum of my ambition but you sound like one of those deluded fans on talk sport (who'll will be on the radio throughout the summer) saying how we are going to take the league by storm. Survival next year is all that matters.

A picture paints a thousand words I'll have the same bet with you. I'll pay £40 to a charity of your choice if I lose. You stop posting for 6 months if I win. I don't believe that's the same bet But instead of paying both £40 an account of Pud and I, why not just agree with Pud's £80? Incidentally why do you want me to stop posting? Sick of the fact that I won't agree with the complete bollocks you're preaching? As for January being 'rebuilding' we bought Leon Best for fuck's sake. So I've got to agree to Puds bet but you dont have to agree to mine. :icon_lol: :icon_lol: Says it all really Craig I'd match the same said terms that Pud outlined to you. I have no problem with sticking £120 in the SBR foundation. In intrigued as to why you'd want me to stop posting mind... Im simply showing your gobshite up for the gobshite it is. You mocked away because I didnt agree to the exact terms of puds bet, but you are doing exactly the same to the terms of my bet. Very sad

So stop whinging (again) and just tell me what the long term damage is. We (hopefully) will be back up in a few months on a much stronger financial footing.

January? I'd love to know how he successfully laid foundations for the club to survive the Premier League next season in January. What I see is a bunch of average players who will probably look out of depth and ineffective next season. Now thats a totally different question to what you asked now isnt it? What I asked was what is bolded which is pretty much what I was getting at in my second post (as well you know). In January, promotion was still very likely and as a result, we should have been signing players with some upside for the Premiership rather than whatever was available (Leon Best springs to mind). This season is still clearly part of the rebuilding process with regards to the squad and we're still a weaker side than we were when we were relegated; Not that I was expecting bona-fide Premiership players but when you're signing Coventry City rejects and whatever Portsmouth couldn't afford to pay, what makes you think that he's going to spend £15 million in the summer on real quality? I'm expecting some more Portsmouth exiles and whatever we can get from the likes of Villa/Spurs, certainly not the 5-6 first teamers we'd need, on top of assured back-up. The bit in red is also what you asked which I answered. January was about assuring promotion The summer will be about surviving our first year back up. Villa and spurs cast offs may be just what we need to survive.

Fast having very little to say about any alternative or a decent counter argument. Just the usual wine wine wine. TBH

Manager appointed to gain promotion Manager backed in January window Major players not sold in January you've overstepped the WUM marker CT. Tedious in the extreme now. Talk about the Halls and Shepherd ffs, now THEY gave us something worth supporting. Im talking about the current Leazes , not fucking history. Hall and Shepherd are as relevant to today as Malcolm McDonald.

stop harping on about Ashley man. Talk about a board who gave us a good team and signed top players..... <_< :icon_lol: :icon_lol: :icon_lol: Pot and all that

Someone who mouthed off left right and centre about how good Ashley was for the club but when put on the spot by Pud and asked to put his money where his mouth was (for charity) he suddenly didn't seem so confident.. Very confident but money is money for some of us. £40 to charity seems fair to me.

Ok, lets cut the shit. Fuck off bleeding hearts, fuck off FM2010 and fuck off Freddy Shepherd. The 60th RICHEST man in the UK currently owns us. The 60th RICHEST man in the UK currently owns us. The 60th RICHEST man in the UK currently owns us. The 60th RICHEST man in the UK currently owns us. Most enjoyed his ownership under Mort Most revelled in his decision to appoint Keegan Lots took his money in the big market And............Then he fucked up. Most reasonable people realise a lot of this was down to his faith in Llambias to run the show. Ashley was busy trying to stabalise his retail empire during the worst recession in living memory. He fucked up. Get over it for fucks sake. We were heading for the rocks under Shepherd, regardless of what Leazes would have you believe. Too much debt Too many journeymen Too many spent sponsorship deals Too many players on rediculous wages. Regardless of all that has gone on......He is still the owner and still the 60th richest person in the UK. It is time to stop the childish abuse It is time to stop trying to second guess every financial decision It is time for the minority to grow up and get behind the club, owner and all. He has apologised for his mistakes. He has stabalised the club. He has been proved right in his decision to appoint Hughton He has backed Hughton in January We are on course for a return to the premiership. Stop fucking moaning you miserable bunch of twats.

Tell us the best lower league player and your best trick on FIFA 10 or you'll be next. Never seen it, dont know what it is or what you do so i guess im fucked.

Younger than you , you old fucker

your problem is with me? Who are you?

Another poster hounded out by the FM2010 committee no doubt?

Like I say, now that you deem us good enough to get your custom back then give it a go, fiver says you dont sit in the same seat twice. NUST????? NUFC. Now that youve randomly decided to end your self imposed boycott (just in time for the promotion party). Nothing random in it. You asked me too and as I always do as you say I agreed
