Can we just get something clear. Toontastic.net isn't like these other forums where you can just waltz in and suddenly make friends with people. We're snobby, rather perpetual and overall cliquey. Most of us have known each other for years, I went to my first piss up when I was 16 and that was 16 years ago. Don't get excited - those numbers add up to 32. We've filled our quota on contrary twats and that quota is one and we let him stay out of sympathy or something. Basically we don't want your 'different opinion' or your 'take on things'. I want opinions I already know well in advance and agree with. We don't want to be your friend, fuck off. Signed, The Staff

I don't know about you all, but I think this could be the week when Mike Ashley can rightly say he is getting the hang of this football lark.

And to top it off he wants to keep control of the club shops and advertising boards even if he does sell the club. Which effectively means he won't sell the club, cos anyone worth having as owner would laugh in his face at those demands

The fat bastard needs taking behind the bins, and given a good shoeing.

Ah, so what you’re saying is that because Ashley has made loads of mistakes in the past and has shown no evidence of changing the way he operates, even after having a world class manager land in his lap, you think he can be a success going forward because the transfer window doesn’t close for another 3 days? Thanks for clearing that up

I’m beyond that even. Total apathy on my part.

Can't remember a time when I've been more miserable supporting NUFC. 3 days of the window left and we are scrabbling around for a LB and CM on loan when a blind man on a galloping horse can see we need a CF and a No.10 to create some goals. We are potentially 4 months off being managerless in the Championship. And our handful of decent players won't be hanging around this time.

It’s also disappointing Benitez isn’t spending any money on transfers. What’s going on Rafa?! We’re crying out for investment in new blood and our manager is doing nothing to bring new players in! Sad!

The group I work for bought a company last year, it’s merged with the part of the company I work at (employed by the group based at this specific company). The company we bought had a H&S director who has quit and is doing his notice, they have offered me the job which sounds nice cos it’s a big pay rise/company car or allowance etc. But I’m not sure I want to take it, the company we bought don’t have a great reputation and from all the information I’ve been given their H&S management system is completely shite and I would basically be starting from scratch, my head has been up my arse with work anyway since I went back after treatment. I would have to wear a proper shirt and trousers and probably never get out on site anymore either. Aware that this is a humble brag and you couldn’t give a fuck, just taking my head for a shit.

D’you not think it’s a bit too perpetual, Tom? ‘Mean, all he wants to do is come here and talk about his beloved underage girls football club.

He typed, left-handed

Certainly, he wouldn’t miss the chance to sign Modric, Mertesacker, Aubameyang or Salah this time...

This is what annoys the piss out of me, and he seems to have got away with it. By selling off the clubs non-football assets, no doubt via St.James Holdings or whatever cover company he’s created for it, he’s reducing the clubs ability to generate income, which in turn reduces the amount of money we can spend. Combined with the lack income from stadium advertising, he’s quietly fucked us and has his ready-made excuse not to spend ” Can’t go against the FFP rules, Penfold. Tell the Spaniard he’s got nahfink!”

I love how the whole Brexit process is such a monumental self-own that we've even managed to choose a leaving date that falls right in the middle of when we hardly produce any food.

Looking forward to the summer when Ashley and his little stooges are all shocked Benitez has left. Articles come out about how they’d based all their plans on giving him a new contract but he’s walked out on them and now they have to start a manager search. We’re down this season or next season, when we do go down we’ll not be going back up. Hopefully it’s the thing that gets rid of him, I’d say it’d be nice to see him lose money but he’s been siphoning assets out of the club for 10 years so he’d likely still break even at least.

By bringing in decent players instead of flops / making bad choices (Llambias / Wise and co). If we had bought a better striker than Mitrovic, we would not have been relegated. 2 or 3 decent players would do wonders. We seem to do business right on the last day. This is what I'm clinging on to.

I’ll never accept that stupid fucking “he wasn’t convicted so they were fine to act how they did” it’s utter nonsense. Iirc he was out on bail while the CPS was gathering evidence, also no one here is saying the mackems should have been booing him but as Rayvin said they chanted “he fucks who he wants” and gave him over the top vocal support. What they did was abhorrent. Also that stadium is a fucking joke, PL standard Aye keep cracking them. It’s a soulless, flat pack stadium surrounded by nothing, the facilities inside are on par with koko’s in North Shields. It’s a League One club playing in a championship standard stadium with a fan base that quite happily backed a sex offender.
