wow that’s ridiculous! did you factor in the fee for buying him too, because that should be divided into every year he’s been here, and we’ll never see any return on that. Well his salary is approx £3.2m a year, been here three years, so that's £9.6m, plus the transfer fee that's £15.8m, for three years of Alan Smith. I remember Alan Oliver saying value for money wise Big Dunc was the worst value for money we've ever had, what a load of pish he wrote, well Michael Owen for £40m definitely gave us more pound for pound than Smith even. Seriously he could honestly be the worst signing the club have ever made, because at least Xisco and Luque didn't impact on the clubs performances as much as Smith did, cos they didn't play as much. You don't need to be Miss Marple to spot that!

This summer could be a momentous time for NUFC. If LardAsh gets rid of these senior, Premiership-hardened, players and replaces them with too many unknowns, the team could do well, but it could also fail big time. If they did fail big time, then there would be no swift return to the top division imo. Team A Bit Concerned. Exactly. Like Paddocklad mentions, the thought of 4 or 5 players new to the premier league having difficulty settling and us needing points after jan or feb and I'd be very concerned.

I thought England were very, very average under Sven. We've been average under a few managers. Maybe England are just average? Anyway, blowing the trumpet for Sven and asking how people feel about a return by Sven to the England job is a bit pointless and on top of other posts you've started, is the reason you've had a bit of stick.

Apart from the fish.

No he's Polish. They'd love him on Talksport. Nick, phone talksport, mate. Honestly, you'd fit right in.

I feel like I've stumbled into an episode of The Apprentice. I've never watched it meenzer, which is why I'm on.........

And I don't really give a toss about the National side. Imagine my reply if I cared?

Yes. I just told alex you were, Nick. I know. I wouldn't have Sven back, mind.

Yes. I just told alex you were, Nick.

Yes he does Alex.

Team Positive? Bollocks! Team Nasty? Heap of shite! Tell CT he can join me on...........

You've had a few waxers as topics, Nick. You have to give people the benefit of the doubt, but in your case, it wore out. LM reckons you're the only person he's put on ignore. Now LM likes an argument, but even he can't be arsed. The feeling is mutual with LM, and as I have said, I find most of the first responses to this topic, utterly moronic. Maybe the topic gets the responses it deserves?

We had the makings of a good side the year we finished eleventh when Bobby got in Bellamy and Robert.* Now I'm not saying two good signings would take us to the CL but we could certainly challenge for the the UEFA cup, equally the shit could hit the fan were we to lose Enrique, Tiote, Barton and Nolan, (On top of Carroll going). *On the flip side, we had the makings of a good side the year we finished eighth under McFaul but sold Gazza, Goddard etc and ended up 20th the year after.

he's either blatantly on the wind up or just really dim An attention seeker or a thick cunt? He's doing himself no favours, either way.

Just made a lush omlette with some mushrooms, a bit of tomato, a few diced onions, a bit of grated cheese in it with a small chopped chillie with a slice of wholemeal toast on the side. Will be making Chicken Fajita for tea tonight.

Nick, are you Sven's agent? I just can't imagine anyone starting a thread about the England team, (tempted to finish the sentence there, like), and bringing up the idea of Sven Goran Errikson coming back.

Signs are to me it could go either way. We could lose proven performers and get even better in or, we could lose proven performers and get replacements in who are either not good enough or who may not adapt as well as Tiote did. Who will be our striker/s? Who will get goals from midfield? What will our options be like for full back cover? I need to be a bit more convinced to say things are looking good. Things might turn out well and I really hope this is the case but you're putting a lot of faith in the people running the show.

Dillon used to get a chance a game. Was a scoring midfielder but never scored that season. He was doomed as he was a mackem and also got into scrap with Peter Jackson a year or two before that when he was a Portsmouth player where they both got sent off. Rob Mcdonald comes to mind as well. According to the Chronicle he was an ex athletic sprinter as a kid when he signed! He was fucking shit.

There's always been the odd detested player. My mate almost goes purple faced when you mention a keeper called Steve Hardwick! (Just before my time). Mark 'Jason Donovan' Stimson was my first real loathed player that I remember off hand.

Was a joke signing from the beginning. £6M for a striker that cannot score or pick a pass or tackle, £60K a week as well? Thats not hindsight, I thought it was a terrible waste of money at the time and he's even surpassed what I thought of him before he signed. A model pro? I'd wash the tops, make the tea and sort out the half time oranges if someone was paying me £60 grand a week!!!

Ok, Boss.

Tiote and HBA are miles better than; Gillespie, Venison, Beresford, Lee, Sellars, Albert, Peacock, Solano, Dyer, Jenas, Robert, Bellamy, Parker, Hottiger, Dabizas, Acuna, Carr, Butt, Milner........... I thought Sellars, Acuna, Carr, Hottiger, Dabizas, Jenas and Butt were pretty shit. If you thought they were pretty shit then all I can say say is, wow!, what players you witnessed, they must have been fucking class!!

Howay then, Stevie, me and Meenzer are on fucking tenterhooks here, man. KBJ? Aye he's right that's what a KBJ is till pictoral evidence is provided, of course me and Craig are the only ones to provide such evidence, and till such time as anyone else does, we remain the only CERTIFIED two non-KBJ's on this board. Nee pictorial evidence, but let your conscience be your guide. I'm a johnny come lately or I've been around a bit. The choice is yours!
