Happy Face

The whole soundtrack for the new film is brilliant. Forget You and Smells Like Teen Spirit are great.

Funny you say that, they thought the outtakes were so good they've just realeased a follow EP comprised of them... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Live_the_King_(EP)

4 months they reckon? Crock

Surely we can hope for more than one game a season like this out of him.

heh lol yeah liverpool are twatterfaces

It's not off the market right now, for the right price. Like his Granny.

It doesn't take a lab to tell you to ignore what the club says and to look at what they do. Every time he put the club on the market or took it off the market, it generated more news headlines about the "Sports Direct Tycoon". His ONLY interest is spreading awareness of Sports Direct. NUFC has been an excellent investment in those terms really. He could walk away with a profit after 10 years when Etihad are £400m down and had no control over the coverage they generated...ouside of being on the shirts. exactly. Still, the grey man ie mancmag, has been saying for years, that this notion was rubbish.

I am consistent

AuH2O is an NYC-based vintage and thrift boutique So New York I guess

You believe that? Why? He tried to sell it to the Arabs before we were relegated. Then he tried to sell it 'cut price' when we were relegated. He didn't say anything about selling it last year cause of the world financial downturn which still continues. The naming of the stadium and the oncoming kit sponsorship in his mind makes it more attractive to a buyer as is balancing the books with the Carroll money. We have made the biggest ongoing profit on transfers in the PL over the last few seasons. The financial parsimony is so he doesn't have to put any more money in as he now knows a buyer won't fund and debt and in this way he can get his 'loan' back if the club is self-sufficent ish as the sale premium. If anybody turned up tomorow with around 250-300m and gave a guarantee the club would pay his loan back 110m or so over coming years the club would change hands in a week. Your repeating a lot of what's reported but there's no evidence he actually wanted to sell. Quoting the Arabs a ridiculous price and going on the piss rather than turn up to the meeting wasn't exactly wooing a purchaser. Nor asking interested parties to whack an email to him....nor telling them they have to commit to a box in the stadium before getting a meeting. It's all bollocks man. Course he might sell for a guaranteed £410m...he could match the Etihad deal for that, but as he'll NEVER get £160m more than he's spent, it's another one of those daft hypotheticals.

I marvel at the endless possibilities of arguing about "what if?" As we're all agreed Ashley's done fuck all worth re-appraisal of his twat status so far, we can only debate these rhetorical bollocks questions about European finishes and 8 figure sponsorship deals. Great fun too. If he burns a toy Monkey in a mackem strip in the centre circle before the derby, what then?

You're like Neo LM. Fighting about 500 Agent Smith's all at once without breaking sweat.

Welcome to the mug-club Is it like owning a Taxi?

You believe that? Why?

I'm against it.

lolsea

Yet they never got relegated while Coloccini, Ryan Taylor and Steven Taylor did (Harper/Krul too). ....and they remain.

Rather have Nobby than Obertan...from either spell

If only Harry Hill would invite Shepherd and Ashley on to have it out before the commercial break.

To be fair HF did you an injustice when he said it was you perpetuating the argument as it was pretty obvious to anyone who was watching those threads in 'real time' the other evening why you responded as you did. He'd basically trawled four or five threads (completely different subjects) making exactly the same old regime nuanced points. Jaw D's post in this thread sums it up when he said he 'could have walked into any one of five threads', it was getting daft. The board is all the shitter for it basically. Has LM duped me? The diabolical genius.

EEE-AYE-EEE-AYE-EEE-AYE-OHH!

If it's such a different game now, then a comparison is only really apt in terms of how they performed amongst their peers. Hall/Shepherd came into a game that was run by millionaires using bank loans secured on assetts. They played that game better than 99% of other owners. They also realised when that jig was up and were able to sell the club to an owner more suited to the modern game - billionaires who secure spending on their own wealth. Whatever the argument about the state of the finances at the time, the club was sold for much much more than they paid in '92 and for more than other clubs were selling, outside the very top. The club was in a much better position, and a much more attractive prospect than most. Compared to their peers, the previous owners outperformed the majority. Having got into the billionaires owners game with his eyes wide open, Mike Ashley hasn't....as yet. exactly Not really a proper billionaire tho. More market stall. Billionaire enough to suit his needs - mid-table finishes and plenty of Sports Direct in the news.

Einstein totally fucked up with tht speed of light limit bollocks, but everyone thouht he was clever. It was just easier then, he'd have to find the money for a large Hadron Collider these days...he'd never be able to compete.

tbf, Leazes only made a point on the current situation before Fish had a pop about him being pissed and wittering on over the same old questions. Reading it back i think Fish was pissed IIO.
