I was thinking more Skeletor, tbh. If that is him, he's a reet ugly fucker in all honesty. It's always best to be honest my mother said.

Don't be so cock sure. Your case is still 'open', but merely lying in the 'to do' tray.

Removed. Just in case my comments were misconstrued as to think I thought lightly of the subject. Nothing could be further from the truth. Sincere apologies if anyone who read it was disappointed in me.

Don't know about that, like. If you were to ask me (I don't really give a shite about you asking me as I'm going to give you my opinion anyway) I would say I was surprised 69-er is carrying quite a lot of blubber! I think he may actually be from Norvege and been over indulging on the whale steaks. Posted with the bestest intentions, J69. You're only kidding yourself about your non weight issue

Thanks. Just wondering.

Just a quickie, SW. Out of interest, how much are they charging these days for a 'pint' in Norway?

Serious answer. I haven't the foggiest. I get the impression, though, that they don't care for each other much.

That was a great song. Dexy's Midnight Gardeners. Shame they completely lost it afterwards with that truly awful C'mon Eileen. Denim bib and braces?? What were they fucking thinking?????

Hats off to you though, you've got her well trained Anyhoo......back to Deano and his £50.

I told her it wouldn't fit, but she was determined to do it. She's got spunk your missus, I'll give her that.

To tell the truth, I haven't got a Scooby what the fuck is going on. Is Deano really a chef in a swanky London hotel? Does he actually exist? Is CT Saltwater? Is Rob W CT? Is TR really Del Llambias Yours faithfully, Lost in space x

Captain's Log. Star Date 7688/85. Do you know NOTHING, you buffoon?

Not on my part, btw. I assumed he was fully fit, but Newcaslte United, being Newcastle United, something like an injury to a new player was waiting to happen. It's really Ashley's fault as he should have known this was likely to happen and bought TWO left backs, one for a spare

And I answered, haven't moved anything. What exactly did I say about 1st September ?? I believe I said "it would show what Ashleys intentions were" either he'd be backing us or recouping. I have said I believe he is recouping. Is that "judgement" enough for you ?? and "his intentions" are what exactly, in your "new" judgement, regarding the small matter of success on the football pitch ? What some of us have been telling you for ages perhaps ? One thing TP is right about i think, is his character assessment of the bloke. Ashley the business maverick, who probably sees himself a pioneer of sorts. He'll run the business his way, give everybody the proverbial two-fingered salute, and display bugger-all in regard to respecting the club's heritage and most importantly the on-field football brand. I hate to say this, but as football club owners go he's definitely a pioneer, for all the wrong reasons and motives - as I've alluded to in another thread. His long-term association with the club, and vice versa the club and SD, has little to do with creating a long standing football legacy to be proud of. This is not a symbiotic relationship between the club's football brand (and it's supporters whose main concerns results) and the commercial & financial interests of the club's owner. It's a relationship where there is no mutual benefit. I didn't give two hoot about Shepherd & The Halls dividends, the storage shed being rented out to the club. At least there was a balance, the business of football Vs the financial interests of board members, and that balance was tilted in favour of the former. Whereas now under Ashley, with his commercial interests or motive of wanting to gain control of what was at the time a boutique club available at a great/affordable price, it's a one way street - it's now a parasitic balance. I will be shocked if he sells up before 2020 tbh, as i don't he's necessarily balancing the books & recouping his outlay in preparation of completing the final phase of an opportunistic smash and grab (profit making) type of business venture, in this equating to a destructive hit & run job on a boutique club with mass appeal. Either way Mike Ashley has his predecessors to thank, as they restored faith and trust in the football brand after having seen it run down to a derelict state akin to smack/needle injecting house. My water tells me he's got health issues ahead, so things will be changing before that date. Bookmark this.

Newcastle United. Some things just are.

It's a yes for me

Narr, it can't be shirley? Deano's English was only year 11, where vvv's is year 13.

Ach, anyone called Dave has anger problems

Va va voom? Fuck me! Reading that, I was getting my seat ready for the trophy parade through Newcastle Dave mistaking him for Deano? Too eloquent to be the gardener. EDIT: It's too, Pike, not to. Stupid boy!

Thanks for the input, lads I had been thinking that these monies he had put in - and we were expected to be eternally grateful for - could've just been self-inflicted pain. As I said, I was probably just chasing my tail.

Was lying thinking about NUFC debt last night. We know Ashley likes to pay for all the signings up front. When he bought the club, it was well reported (by the regime) that there were many transfer fees outstanding of players already at the club. Could it be that a lot of the debts incurred over the past few years were Ashley actually paying off those outstanding bills early instead of over the agreed period of time? If so, would the claims of Ashley having to put large amounts of money into the club be nothing more than his own doing? Maybe I'm just chasing my tail, and it's all bollocks. Just wondering, that's all.

This. Every word. EDIT: I've been considering writing to Sky & ESPN to politely ask them to stay away from showing live games at SJP, thus denying the large chap the exposure he craves. If only.

This. Every word.

I'll get Bev and Cath to issue that order it's the only way it'll take effect A tag team! I like it Can I bags cutting the ribbon or whatever it is, come the big day? Can I also keep the ceremonial scissors or trowel or whatever is used for the big day?? Hope they're silver.
