I'd have thought NUFC would be able to attract a better paying, (and more reputable) sponsor than Wonga especially considering we had this year and next years sponsorship already in place so time wasn't of the essence, and again, does an association with Wonga add to the NUFC brand or de-value it? I'm going for for the latter although there's sharper corporate minds on here than mine who could enlighten us a bit more. However if people want to talk about giros........?

The teams are out early! must be getting warmed up.

'Ah but it's just this', 'Ah but it's just money', 'Ah it doesn't really matter', 'Ah but it'll always be St James' Park to me' etc etc etc. They sell our souls too cheap, they cheapen and nasty everything about our club and when the 'Wonga' runs out another blue chip company might think, 'Do we want to be associated with a club sponsored by 'Wonga'?' £8M a season for sponsorship and stadium rights is very generous on the clubs part for a club of our size, tradition and last years PL finish. When you're shopping you don't always buy the first thing you see, maybe a little patience was required from Ashllamb when it comes to sponsorship as they already had the guarantee of the Virgin money for another twelve months. Instead it looks like we got 'I'll 'ave sam of fahkin that!' instead. Anyway, we'll wait and see what happens and what does and doesn't get confirmed. They don't inspire confidence.

Goodbye and goodnight. It's one big laugh at us all.

This bloke is hilarious/awful. Steve Curry. The face of British football journalism in my opinion.

Richardson was great on CH4's 'football Italia', thought he tried a bit too hard the odd time I saw him on (I think) setanta. Agree with Neville, the odd time I've heard him he's been the best around for a while. I quite like Marcotti out of the journalists even when I don't agree with him.

I think they've got that base covered with Savage, trouble is he's shit.

I'd love to know who decides what ex-player to invite onto these shows, Keown ticks the ex-Arsenal box so the rest of the country get to hear his monotone patter. Lovely.

Ok, Fish, a yes or no answer only regarding Norwich, seeing as your mate supports them. Delia, pissed in a lift with you. She offers a nosh. Yes or a polite refusal? Take your time.

Neil Sedaka was on, played a slower version of 'breaking up is hard to do' on the piano and showed the rest up.

You are B, Bohemian You are R, Really impatient You are A, Always angling You are V, So Vivacious You are A, Such an Arsehole You are D, Super Dave You are O-OOOOooooooo!!! (But thanks anyway, Fish)

That's two old boys so far put the ball past Sunderland, Is MoN trying to be us?

Cheers, Andrew!

What was the final score in the mackem game?

Watched a bit of Jools Holland's show last night, Jesus was there some fucking atrocious noises on there and Lisa Marie Presley was no exception, (looked rough as a badgers arse as well).

Elvis was a hero to most But he never meant shit to me you see Straight up racist that sucker was Simple and plain Mother fuck him and John Wayne (Blame HF!)

Oh dear, and here was me going to leave it. Tooj, take way the adult bit then the point still stands. I take it nobody will mention taxi drivers when speaking of CT from now on or spring water and pinball machines when talking about J69? Andrew, you had a little bee in your bonnet over Stevie and PL which I found a bit amusing and a little strange as you seemed fairly unassuming and not withstanding the fact they've probably forgotten more about NUFC than you presently know or hazarding a guess ever will. (Got to say I also found you running around Leeds paying a company money to basically play tuggy with people pretending to zombies very amusing but that doesn't mean I don't like you). And that really is my last word on this thread, SMB questioned the free travel for the police, you could've answered him as you did me or as the fish did, that was my main point. Enjoy the rest of your night.

Ok, I'm out of this one. (Especially as I've no real bones of contentions with it). Members of my family have had to put with some right sectarian shit in the police force as basically all sides hated them, one side despised them as the enemy, one side thought they were traiters. They just wanted a safe community, my dad served in the armed forces for twelve years so I'm not anti-services at all. SMB is more worked up about it than me but he's entitled to ask a question about who funds it without being told to fuck off by a mod just getting used to being an adult in the real world. Andrew, I get things wrong from time to time, (no, honest!), explain to me why I need to apologise to you as I really cannot see where I've abused you other than this post? I'll get back to this later on when I'm not on my phone.

This.

I'm begrudging them fuck all, if their perfectly normal feelings of empathy stretch to them attending the funeral of a stranger and a Rail Company decides to foot the bill then good for them. My heart goes out to this young lasses family who is missing, it's truly heartbreaking and as a parent myself I can't imagine what they're going through. If she turns up dead shall I travel down to her funeral or just let her family and friends grieve? If it's the former will the East Coast line pick up the tab?

NO!! THIS IS A BOLD STATEMENT, STEVIE. Anyway, that's me off. Play nice with each other.

SSSHHHHHHHH! It was a light-hearted joke. Carry on, mate.

We give Man U a good beating every few years before waiting a few years for the next win so I'm not too optimistic. But we'll just blame Barney as it's easier.

He doesn't smoke or drink to be fair, he needs to let it out somehow. (Linekar is a bit of a cock it has to said, though).
