Yeah. He said every bag in the city is being treated as suspect. Not that there's bags with bombs in all around the city.

There's only been 2 devices within walking distance of each other so far hasn't there? Has the 3rd device been confirmed as anything more than a suspect package?

I don't want that to come across as a sarky comment. Obviously a terrorist attack in the US is more newsworthy. These events always act as reminders that victims of this violence world wide all deserve our thoughts.

Do you know anything about North Korea? They are a sabre rattling non-entity. They would be obliterated for any attack. If they did attack, as poor as their armoury is, they could still do better then this. In my view it is a lone individual or a small cell. Just about every 'Muslim' attack on US soil in the past 5 years has been FBI sponsored and intercepted so I'm not inclined to think its any political or religious group in particular.

Arseholery well under way... http://www.salon.com/2013/04/15/alex_jones_labels_boston_explosion_a_false_flag/

Best to take anything the 24 hour news says in the next day or 2 with a grain of salt.

Think I have said as much.

Typical of the "Pardew out" brigade.

Should have had Pardew in the studio. Raped.

Issa nosso bad then.

What a bastard day for that. Do you work in shields as well?

To be fair most of the people saying replace him were saying it before the derby anyway. ...except Renton the fickle fuck

Seesegnon as good as Messi again then?

Cheers Ewerk...didn't know there was another £18m coming out this year too. Very interesting.

For all the lamentations among Newcastle fans, if you said to any one of them "I can grant you a wish, I can reverse yesterdays result....but it also reverses every other result between the clubs...and also the clubs fortunes in all competitions throughout history" They would lap up yesterdays 3 nowt in a hearbeat, so you mackems enjoy your moment. We all know that class is permanent.

No, I don't think that is what Swiss Ramble says above. I specifically asked if Ashley had paid himself the money owed to him as debt, and he says that's exactly right. If he'd written off £11m he and Ashley would be singing from the rooftops about it, not keeping quiet.

It did come off the clubs debt to him, so the club is better off for that. Question is would you ratther have £140m debt and a strike partner for Cisse, or £129m of debt?

How rightful it is or not is open to question. He's put money into the business, so he's entitled to take money out when it turns a profit. What I question is the fact we spent so little in summer 2012 and paid the price for it. ....and the fact that this hasn't been mentioned in any press I've read....after all the talk of "not taking a penny out of the club" all the reports have only mentioned a million or 2 of profits.

I've not downloaded the accounts for last year (are they available?) and I don't think any of the news stories that announced last years figures mentioned this. I just found out off Twitter.... Higher than any dividend Shepherd and co ever took...combined.
