we are certainly a lot more attractive to any potential buyer now than we were this time last year. here's hoping because i have to agree with leazesmag - i can't see anything but mediocrity at best while ashley is in charge. i'd love it if he proved me wrong but can't see it going on his time in charge so far. seems our only hope is a buyout.

it's all down to ashley now, which doesn't inspire too much confidence. unless there's anyone stupid enough to buy the club from this cretin

that's silly money to pay for potential. That's the kind of fee the best players in the world command. Carroll, for all his potential, surely isn't worth as much as the likes of David Villa yet. Even 20m would have been a good price for him if you look at it rationally. Not saying I wasn't gutted when he was sold, nor that we won't regret it if the money is reinvested on bargain basement gambles....or not at all

Newcastle supporters have to beat whit Ashley. If you help Atco Madrid, millions of Atletico Fans would be grateful and a lot of help you when we want fight whit Aslhey. my work firewall blocked it for some reason. i'll have a look at home later

totally agree. holding on to our best players is key. the problem is after carroll is everyone knows we'll sell our best players now. i just hope the fat cunt realises that his asset will be more valuable, the more successful it is. i won't grumble too much about the carroll sale if a good chunk of the money is reinvested on quality squad additions and we manage to hold on to the likes of tiote and enrique. it could be a good move - let's face it, carroll was never worth £35m. it'll only be a good move though if he doesn't do what we all expect and continue to take chances on bargain basement signings while offloading our better players whenever the chance to make a profit comes up.

can someone save newcastle from mike ashle while we're at it? good luck with the petition btw

got to say, i couldn't stop lol'ing at this. SNL at its best. and here's how it's done for real:

ben arfa playing instead of lovenkrands would tranform this side like

So true gemmill. Beer is the worst of the worst. 300 or so empty calories per pint that do nowt but go straight to the love handles because of complete lack of nutritional value. When I was on my last serious cut, i stopped beer altogether and only drank gin and soda... How gay is that? These days I'm less careful but still limit beer to the occasional few pints at the weekend. If I need a drink midweek it's a glass of red with dinner or a whisky nightcap - far less calorific

superb result. it's been on the cards. we were unlucky in a few games recently not to pick up all three points. goes to show that we've the makings of a half decent team. imagine if the fat twat had just invested just a little in it in the transfer window...

guttierez has been mint as has tiote. did you see him just track bentley half way back the pitch to prevent a one on one then winning the ball? class man.

head like a 50p piece but even best couldn't miss that! great build up play by barton and good cross from jonas

mate, seriously, you're never going to cut fat going about it like that. good luck with it like but i just don't see it happening for you, sorry. cutting fat and keeping it off requires a complete rethink of your nutrition, combined with a proper training plan. fad diets like weight watchers don't cut it i'm afraid. don't mean to sound patronising like so don't take it that way. this is free advice from someone that found it very hard to cut fat for years. i tried a million different diets and forms of training until i found out what works. I know where you are coming from but what might suit a 20 or 30 something isnt always going to suit a 40 something. Personally I think the WW program is a good vehicle from getting from where I am at, to possible what you are talking about. Im starting from a position of an unhealthy job, unhealthy food and no exercise. The WW plan will start me tracking what Im eating, teaching me about foods that are healthier and more filling and rewarding me by giving me extra points (food or alcohol) for exercising. As I start to eat better, feel healthier and get fitter, then there is a good chance some of these habits will stick. Like most things done to excess, it is all about changing habits. I have even set myself a challenge of climbing sca fell in June to keep me focussed on getting healthier. I never see myself bashing the gym and all these routines as a lot of the younger lads on here talk about. It just doesnt fit in with my lifestyle of being a married father of four. I might not live as long but hey ho. i don't think age has to matter. depends on your goals. you just have to make time for excercise. there are guys i see at my gym in the 50s that are in way better shape than me; i'm talking really low body fat - abs popping out and everything. advancing years don't make cutting fat impossible. i was naturally lean until i hit late 20s when suddenly i woke up and all of a sudden i wasn't able to get away with eating and drinking what i wanted. so joined a gym and tried all forms of fad diets, i spent years down the gym getting crap results. i lost weight, sure, but never got anywhere near to looking ripped. i was basically trying fad diets like atkins and wasting my time by not doing a professionally designed training routine. it took about 3 years of wasted time (and money) before i did my research, read around, asked questions and worked out what i was doing wrong. i have a desk job that can get quite hectic at times. i quite often end up eating at my desk and working 12 hour days, but i make an effort to find time to excercise. by all means, stick with weight watchers but if you want to see real results - and by that i mean, lower body fat (not dropping pounds), better muscle definition and overall more pleasing body composition then i would seriously advise rethinking how you're going about it. i would be happy to suggest a training and nutrition plan that could work for you. i like to steer people on to the right path so they don't waste as much time as i did!

i'll take a pm of a small river please

tallentless slag, who's messed up her looks by having too much surgery. i wasn't even aware she did owt anymore tbh.

7-9th would bebloody brilliant tbf

they're on a good run aren't they? we'll do well to get anything out of this one. i don't get why the fuck we weren't in for martins or bentley.

I don't get why he keeps posting. It's like the boxer that doesn't know he's out on his feet but keeps going on to take more punishment

it would a a good move and a rare positive pr move by ashley, hence why i cant see it happening.

Loving this so far. Really smart and well made tv. Sky Atlantic is proving worth the sky subscription fee alone right now. As well as boardwalk empire, we've got how to make it in America, entourage, curb, weeds and loads more. Anyone see that mad dogs on sky one the other night? Not bad either. Suddenly there's loads of good stuff on tv and i can consign those dark weekends filled with x factor and strictly to history for another year

What the fuck Spam? Did I try to sell you something or rip you of you prick? That was inside info lad. The deal fell through last min. Big Ash said his wages were to high. Now fuck of out the internet cafe and get back to the park bench you tramp. I dont think breaching human rights is a good move i don't get why you felt the need to send me a pm. an unwanted pm = spam in my book

i got some bullshit spam via pm from this joker yesterday. good move banning him from sending more
