Monroe Transfer

Hold up - you can't get new shirts from sportsdirect.com without PL badges? I mean that's nice of them and all but it should be an option to not have it, I don't want a shirt with badges on it. Ashley and his lot can't even do giving away stuff for free right.

I see what you did there.

Any news on how long Xisco will be out for? Am very interested to see he gets on this pre-season. Had written him off ever wearing the black and white again.

Surprised to see Lovenkrands not getting a recall into the Danish squad.

I think it's near guaranteed that a couple of our best players will have to leave so Hughton can spend a bit. Wouldn't surprise me if Ashley pocketed the money from that too though. He doesn't have the best interests of the club at heart, only his own. I feel like ignoring the club as best as I can again during the summer, and I'm thankful that there's a World Cup to aid in that.

NUST? Or did they implode?

If only you'd have known what was to come...

We'll get whoever West Ham decide against.

They go on about a 5 year plan but it's nonsense like this which makes it plainly obvious that Ashley wants to do as little as possible before a buyer comes along. I don't believe that they've shut the door privately to someone coming in and taking it off his hands. A relatively stable Premier League club is a lot easier to sell than a Championship club with an uncertain future.

Of course he wants to go down that road again.

It's insane to be honest. I find it hard to believe they'd be that stupid. I don't trust them in the slightest though - so perhaps we will get a few million, as I don't take anything they say at face value.

Shall I start the "Championship season 2011-2012" thread?

Are you like this at the match, Leazes?

Thought Baheng had potential, he got a bad injury though didn't he?

Sit-in protest at some London based polling station.

How many technical issues can the BBC encounter?

Assuming this is the right Bridget... http://www.toontastic.net/board/index.php?showuser=89 Part-time Toon fan tbh.

He headed it straight at him man.

Alan Smith finally scoring a goal. That must have happened, surely? Has he even managed an own goal for us in his time at the club?

Talk here of Best being shifted, along with Hall and Pancrate as mentioned elsewhere. http://www.journallive.co.uk/nufc/newcastl...61634-26378258/ I'll respect Hughton even more if he gets rid, nice guy and all from the looks of things but he clearly isn't good enough for the PL.

What game were you watching?

Would love to see them do an us vs Partizan Belgrade or an Everton vs Villarreal. Can't stand them.

adidas do loads of clubs now (a lot of them not very good), I don't see going with Puma as a step down. At least Puma seem to individualise each shirt a bit more than adidas do. And Nike with their templates.

Don't know why people think he's a bad manager - he should have never been appointed as England coach, but he's a decent enough club manager if you ask me. Did about as much as anyone could with the Smoggies. The Eredivisie isn't all that, which no doubt helped. Deserves his success regardless.
