We got Ba PRECISELY because he had one of the clauses we seem to be keen on. We never paid West Ham a penny. Iirc his agents and Demba scored for £2.5M. We got him for 18 months, he did the business now we get £5M but lose his goals and cross our fingers that Cisse or his replacement can replace them. Course Demba held the cards when we pinched him so that's why we gave in to the clause. People should get used to this kind of shit with our owner, I can't understand anyone not thinking the club are a penny pinching shambles to be honest.

He'll not be getting paid today then if he said 'fuck off I might get injured"?

I prefer mine but it's up to you. Andrew needs 'Bamber Gascoigne' for a week while we're at it.

CT needs to be renamed 'Jackie Shiter' by the way. Get to it Admins/Mods.

No wind up, probably just a dream.

All the best, LTB! Is it Mackem folksingers nephew? "Ahll tak them dishcloth hondacrackas doon"

Not so 'Bashful', on his day off from 'Snow White and the seven Dwarfs' at a pantomime near you.

A typical Celtic wanker.

His Fatha?

I stayed in, only had a couple of beers and some party grub with Wife and kids. Around the early hours I was half asleep and thought I heard some metal coathangers rattling in the wardrobe. A few seconds later I heard what I thought was my wife getting up and saying 'happy new year, darling' and felt a kiss. I was still half asleep and couldn't be arsed to say it back/open my eyes. I asked her if she got up early this morning and she said no she slept like a log all night and she was in bed this morning when it got light. I don't know if I dreamed it or not.

Fucking hell!! I recognise that lad!

Most questions answered already but whenever a rival fan posts questions I find it interesting they always come up with a 'Mike Ashley, Forgiven now?' type question. I can't think of one NUFC chairman/owner who was popular going back to Stan Seymour Junior when I started following us, (I'm 39). John Hall probably came closest to being liked but there were always suspicions of him from the traditional support after one or two soundbites were less than true and he was a Tory gobshite with a known fondness for Thatcher which also didn't sit well, but he was ambitious and that's we cried out for so it got swept under the carpet to a large degree. This bloke now, Ashley. It would take a complete turnaround and sustained success for me to lighten up a bit about him but I can't forgive nor forget the insults and lack of respect for our club. The Stadium alone should've seen him strung up, he cheapens our club and de-values it. He shits on the traditions of our club such as big away followings by constantly asking for minimum allocations and charging fans a 'membership fee' to even have a chance of a ticket. I can't stand the cunt it's that simple. I don't expect any rival supporter to be up to speed on all his slurs/actions/attitudes so don't expect any sympathy nor need any. A season where we had a decent finish wont even put a dent in my distrust of the fat bastard with not a bit of black & white in his blood. It's such a shame that football is now financially doped to the eyeballs where Everton having a good season is such a surprise, by the way.

Not a musical but when I hear this music, (by accident now), I smile and can get misty eyed. My eldest daughter, Rachel, was completely into the Disney Princesses when she was really little and all the songs from Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Snow White, Beauty and the Beast etc were always on in our house. We watched a bit of her on an old DVD from a relatives camcorder a few months ago and she had all her dolls, 'Aworwa' (Princess Aurora), 'The Mad', (Little Mermaid) and all the rest with her. "Daddy! pass the Mad, Aworwa wants to play wiff her".

I think the club are just as happy for him to go. We didn't pay West Ham a nut for him as we were happy to take up his clause when the cockneys were relegated. Ba's entitled to play the same game again, as a club who search out these clauses to save the club paying the going rate we can hardly complain when it doesn't suit. (Well maybe we can but Mike and Dekka certainly can't.)

I somehow think Chelsea can afford the risk if they think they need Ba.

QPR look a shambles. Liverpool should have at least five by half time. There's one relegation spot tied up.

It'll be flawed if we go down for want of a couple of players.

Of course we can't pay £40M for Falcao but there always seems to be us checking the price tags and the best before dates in the bargain bin. "He won't haggle! Cahm orn! Five for that you must be mad!"

Chris Hedworth and John Bailey combined. @Gene Clark, I'm sure CT knows Stimma by his nickname of Jason Donovan instead.

Must be great cherry picking other teams top players. Meanwhile NUFC busy scouring the continent looking for players with clauses in their contracts as we 'wipe our own noses'.

He's like Mark Stimpson on steroids.

All the patter in the last week from pardew more or less tells you he's been told sign or fuck off. I'll be surprised if the club weren't involved. Another gamble by fatty.

They will not buy without selling. That's the deal with fatty.

The bloke on sky.

Makes your skin crawl the attitude the national media have with Man Utd and Liverpool although lately they're avoiding the Liverpool subject rather than give them too much stick. Didn't catch our game on MOTD but seen Linekar's summing up with a huge grin describing another Man U win, maybe nothing I suppose but it pisses me off, also listened to a stream for our matches v West Ham, Stoke and yesterday. Three defeats and two were unfortunate but the standard of the co-commentators have been nothing short of woeful with clear agendas, (if the Stoke one wasn't an ex-Stoke player or fan I'll be stunned). Think I'll knock the streams on the head and just listen to John Anderson and Mick Lowes.
