All I know is that even in her prime, I wouldnt have banged her, ugly horror that she is!!

You might be right, but i see it as a very good strike. Good bodyshape when he hit it..................... Good Tekkers!!

Aye, i've got a feeling we're gonna "turn up" today, i've got 3-1 (12-1), 3-1 with cisse first scorer (55-1), and a cheeky 4-0 (28-1)... oh, and another cheeky one on Cabaye first scorer (10-1). Hopefully i can do the winners walk through the bookies door!

He's spent just over half what etihad did on the man city 'deal'. Which I'm sure we'd all agree was a ridiculously over inflated "scam" of a "deal", made only to try and legitimise any future spending under the fair play rules? non?

BOOOOOMMMMMM BA- BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

show me where I have ever said "what if FF had stayed". Other people ask me that, you dope. And yes, I'm making a judgement on the future, just as I made one years ago that Mike Ashley would use NUFC as an advertisement vehicle for Sports Direct and would not attempt to challenge the heights seen before, settling for premiership survival to promote the company. He will sell a player to make a profit if this isn't done operationally, he will never attempt to match the clubs we used to compete with and finish above that are now attempting to match the sugar daddies. He is a retailer by instinct, he will buy and sell players like he does with his companies to try and do it, everything has a price, He will not back his managers fully as a manager of NUFC ought to be. We are competing with the 2nd rate selling clubs. As the financial whizz kids dismissed this as "nonsense", and still do, and continue to do so, you tell me what is nonsense about that. You couldn't make it up, indeed you couldn't. Then you can leave the intelligent debate to the people who know about the football club and aren't deluded fuckwits. "He bought us so he could promote Sports Direct" - What a crock of shite, he could have sponsored Man U AND fucking Chelsea for that kind of money you loooooooooonnn-atic!

And you're calling me ignorant?? You really are an Utter Shambles of a Bellend! Blend!

You really ARE thick as mince LM, you cant construct a sentence correctly, and you have NO clue about punctuation... I'd be ashamed if my 7yr old made half the mistakes you do.

why not ask the people who forecast doom and gloom, that totally ignore that the club was a well run high flying football club for over a decade, that very question ? But you won't, or if you do, you won't get a reply. Silly boy. Leaze's man, You're the fucking doom/gloom peddler round here. I cant imagine you havin cracked even so much as a smile this season (apart from maybe the spurs wallopping, or the wolves comeback,) I bet there isnt even one solitary smile muscle left in your pork crackling face.

By the sounds of it "What an utter, utter shambles"

He has certainly lowered your expectations - Not so chum, in fact i'd say my outlook is considerably higher than it has been since Bobby Robson was sacked, now that the club appears to be in the best shape it has been for a while! He has consistently sold many of our best players over the last 4 years - what planet have you been on? - As always this planet mate, however let me reply with a question "how many of these BEST players would get into our team now?" I'll give you Milner & Enrique, but I'm glad Nolan/Barton/Carroll have gone. And I'm especially glad we got £40m for those three!! Also, given that these BEST players have been replaced with better (or hadn't you noticed - if so what planet have you been frequenting?) Basically, what you crying about? He has not backed the manager - and instead has made a net profit on transfers of over 30 million - I'm assuming you agree that we have a better team now, (if not please state all reasoning behind your decision.) so how that can be interpreted as not backing the manager is staggering (especially given that we have been constructing a team with an albatross of millions of pounds debt round our necks). Made a net profit of £30 million on tranfers, SO FAR perhaps, however i would not advise spunking the virgin money sponsorship money on one injury-prone-mercenary-player, as per the mistakes of our past. Maybe, just maybe, we have done the hard work in regrouping, and by improving our financial standing we have actually offered ourselves the chance to spend more money in the long term than we could have done without it (Unless of course you'd like us to have continued pissing good money on loan/bank interest charges?) Of course he is using the club as a vehicle to sit alongside Sports Direct - why do you think he has taken the shameful decision to rename St James' Park? Do you agree with it? - I can readily admit that I dont know the full reasoning/workings behind adorning SJP with sports direct logos, can you?? However what difference does it make?, so he swapped some Logos for some other ones, does it stop me enjoying the match?? does it fuck like. He HASNT renamed SJP...... not to ME anyway, not to 52,000 others, and many beyond that. I'll always call it SJP, as will the majority, however if someone wanted to pay £10m to put their company name up then let them! Again, makes no difference to my enjoyment of the game, and i cannot imagine EVER hearing anyone around me calling it SDA...... you might be, but not me! There is no chance of him matching those league positions on a consistent basis - - Well, as already pointed out, IF we finish 7th this year, that will be ahead of our Premier average wont it? Tell me what is so bad about progress? You cant jump to the front of the queue now the way we did in our first season in Premier, just absolutely cannot now. I'll be happy if I see consistent progress, year after year. do you seriously think we can challenge for a Champions League position with a sell your best players and replace them with cheaper policy? I don't think we will continue to sell our best players, however I'd like to think we will continue to bring better players in..... regardless of how much they cost! If they ARE cheaper then FAN-FUCKING-TASTIC what's the problem?

AH, post 1373, Leaze's very own personal bastion.... let's see.. Hmmm, it appears to be constructed from old points, which haven't even been extrapolated, or furthered upon. Ok, making a schoolboy error i know, but let's dig deeper. He/has/is/will continue to sell best players - guess his copter must have been double booked in January, cos i cant remember any of our best players leaving!! Not back the manager with money - didn't we get a new no9 in January, how much was he? He IS running the club as a vehicle to sit alongside Sports Direct - Interestingly enough this looks completely like conjecture and personal opinion, however I can't imagine LM dealing in anything other than FACTS, so i'm sure he'll be able to back this with solid proof. He HAS [and STILL IS] lowered expectations among foolish supporters - Well he certainly HAS lowered LM's expectations since Freddy, and it does say FOOLISH supporters, this must be what he means...... bless him. He will NOT match the league positions of his predecessors on a consistent basis - Okay, we're gonna need a bit of maths for this :- (93/94 - 3rd, 94/95 - 5th, 95/96 - 2nd, 96/97- 2nd, 97/98 - 13th, 98/99 - 13th, 99/00 - 11th, 00/01 - 11th, 01/02 - 4th, 02/03 - 3rd, 03/04 - 5th, 04/05 - 14th, 05/06 - 7th, 06/07 - 13th) Average finish = 7.57, strictly speaking should round it up to 8th, but that'll just give him something to moan about, so in a goodwill gesture to Fat Freddy we'll call it 7th!! Hmmm, I wonder if LM realised that was what it was??? Anyhow, lets fucking hope we can do better than that eh? I for one think we will! So I have collated and reviewed the data, and my conclusion is..... Leazesmag is/has been/will always be an UTTER BLEND Oh and Leaze's now I've responded to your holy grail of a post, are you planning on responding to the 10 or so questions of mine you have chosen to ignore???

A parody of the parody at times, like going to another level in Inception!

They are all you LM! or at least they are all in your head!

Call it bollocks if you like, but I am only interested in pure FACTS, I am not interested in papering over the cracks with sentimental gibberish. Fact is with 1 point we'd be rock bottom of the league. Do you need me to explain it to you? It's not string theory, 1 point = ROCK BOTTOM. Even Wigan have amassed 20 points at this stage. What?? you are actually serious aren't you? one point from one game can't put you bottom unless everyone draws..... so EVERYONE would be level AND evryone would have a zero goal difference.... think about it!!

I'd feel a little more comfortable having Simpsons pace against Mclean, who looks sharpish..... and he DID kill all those terrorists in the Nakatomi building.

Not YOU you nugget!

Played like he was rusty - short of match time and confidence and had no fludity with the rest of the team - mind you the rest of the team were appalling bad during the period he was on the pitch. Aye, he seemed to spend a fraction too long looking up at what was going on when he had the ball, instead of driving on instinctively like he probably would if he was "match sharp". Frustrated me when he got the ball one on one with the left back in the last two minutes, and he was waiting for the fullback to commit, fullback didnt, ended up having three wolves players on him before he made his move, rather than going at the full back whilst one-on-one.

I've been informed (reliably, although im not saying who told me,) that both Barton and Nolan were considered good members of the squad morale-wise WHEN it suited them, when they were having an "off day", everybody else absolutely knew about it. Nolan especially wore a smacked-arse-face on quite a few days. I've also mentioned before on here that I was also told that the day Pardew "won over," the vast majority of the squad was Arsenal at home last season, 4-0 down at half time he absolutely tore strips off Barton & Nolan etc, along the lines of "you walk around the club all week like you own it, and you go and put that SHIT out on the pitch... sort your f'in selves out" Given that he was still trying to get the squad behind him at the time, it's a pretty brave move to single out the more influential players within the squad for a roasting. COULD have went the other way for him, but he had the balls to do it. Apparently the rest of the squad were boosted by the fact the "certain" players didnt hold all the power any longer. As I say, reliably told thats what happened. who are you ? John Gibson Tell me it isn't true!!

IMHO no, as we would be paying their overinflated wages still, and I can't imagine any of them to be happy sitting on a bench, or playing reserve football. Yes it's a squad game, BUT a couple bad apples can create chaos. I am more than happy with how we have progressed ( in league position AS WELL AS football played,) since they left. We're not even close to being a finished article, but as a work in progress I think we are doing good things.

what you say is fairly obvious, but seems to escape most people. The bit in bold is something I have been thinking of posting for the last day or two, but wondered who would be first to say it. The fact is, football and profits simply very rarely go hand in hand. For the vast majority of clubs, its a loss making "industry", yet we still see pages and pages of posts [and not only on here] where people seem to think they are financial geniuses and have the answers. Toonspac posted a huge list of clubs who have gone bust over the last few decades, yet none of them are now supermarkets and are still actually football clubs. This is what makes me laugh more than anything, especially some posters who post nothing about football and every post they make is on the pretence of being a financial guru. Leazes MegaMind has spoken

Is it? ......... No, it's not is it?

Mainly .... In fact WHOLLY because he ignores questions asked of him, makes up imaginary points to argue against, and is the only one on here armed with a flowchart Also he is a complete BLEND FACT!!! Go on Leazes.... prove ME wrong chum!

Take out the first Keegan tenure (which was our real zenith, steadily downhill since then) our average "finish" was 9.4th, that still good enough for 5th best ??? Mate you wouldn't say that in most pubs because people would hit you. Fuckin what an arsehole. C U N T Either a mackem or a cunt, 50/50 either way. You do know what zenith means dont u Hulk?
