Everton are run at a massive loss btw going back to the OP. So tapping into their potential as they do (as it seems to be perceived) means they're still at risk of going bust. They won't go bust of course (before Leazes has a coronary), but the way they'll avoid going bust is by someone else (outside investment) coming in and plugging the gap with their own money. And guess what, you're back into the randomness of who you get as an investor again and nowt to do with the potential or otherwise of the football club. Which basically just mirrors how our ownership has altered over the years too.

How 'big' we are as a club needs to be firmly disocciated from this notion that we therefore somehow deserve an owner to come in and splash their own money around. That's the whole point about billionaire owners (and eg why City now have more 'potential' than us), it's entirely random and has nothing to do with the size of the club. And if a Saudi billionaire actually wanted to piss his money up the wall for us, then I'm confident we can rest assured Ashley will take him up on the deal and bow out. Wanting some billionaire backer to use their own funds is basically just a statement of desire. It's one which is absolutely valid, but it needs to be acknowledged as that rather than dressed up as something that we're morally more entitled to because we get 50k gates. Ashley's a bell end for the most part, but whether he chooses to splash his own money to compete with billionaires is, I have to concede, a matter for him alone. He won't and therefore we might hope for another owner in due course, but we're no more entitled to one simply because we're NUFC. As soon as you look beyond the club itself and to outside investment, any premising of the debate on the clubs intrinsic potential (over other clubs) becomes almost entirely void.

Like fuck you were chatting her up in her own language. Anyway bang her number up here so everyone can text her random abuse for having the temerity not to suck you off.

Don't forget the Kenyans. Them lads'll run all day.

Just gotta roll with it, yeno. Utter shithole and all, "drugs capital" of the north, only place i've been in and seen someone shooting up on the mainstreet at 9am. The ballymena accent is awful (hey) but then Kevins from Derry,... like nadine coyle its worse My accent is lovely thank you very much Everyone wants an Irish accent, but for people with one they wouldn't want a Derry or Cork variant of it. As well you know! harsh but fair Kev (it's wile bad hey ain't it weeun) I honestly think a belfast accent is far worse, i dunno if your accent is belfast but either way it's horrible. (aye mate mon doun dur naa) Armagh is a class accent tbf, less sure about Derry and Belfast. And Donegal is weird because it's a northern accent yet it's Eire.

Mind if you didn't score every season in the Man U teams he's played in you'd have to be shit. Hope he finally does fuck off after next season then. Good riddance.

He was on Radio 4 over lunch about this. I don't dislike Quinn just because of his Mackem associations per se, but he does look like a bit of a mug with some of the deluded attendance projections he comes out with. Their gates have been up and down pretty wildly most years they've been in the Prem, so he needs to get it in that historical perspective. Mind you he more than makes up for this oversight in my eyes by going on to say that he despises some of SAFC's own fans. Incidentally the point about their foundation giving away/discounting several thousand tickets per home game-apparently that programme supports 100 jobs or some such number. Astonishing.

What's Radgina upto these days btw?

Crikey you're even more backward than Stevie. Im so glad i dont live up north. More pics, less 'banter' tbh.

*WAAARP WAAARP WAAARP!* Goodbye social life.

(nearly mint)

Are they Clark's Hardware?

Jumpers for goalposts..

Can't believe he's only 77. Or more incredulously yet, that he was still in his 50's in that photo with Keegan and the criminal neck ties...

True enough. And just as well because nobody else wants to play with you when you work there.

12-8's are the worst shifts going in a fast food chain. You get the lunchtime and the tea time rush. And then you get home and it's not that long til bed. Rinse and repeat.

Bet it's not the only repeating you've been doing either, you dirty tramp.

If he was I dont think you would have Barton squawking in the press. Re: Barton, I think if he was convinced there was nee money to spend this summer he'd have already come out and said he wants away. In those exact terms. He's not arsed who he upsets in terms of comments (and fair enough) but as far as I'm aware he hasn't come out and said that yet. So I would guess the situation is they've been given certain assurances via Pardew, which at the same time they know to be practically worthless if Ashley's whim changes, so it's currently a case of waiting and seeing what happens for some. The Tiote comments are the most worrying sound bite I've heard from a serving Newcastle manager in years, mind.

Requesting a report back on this, please. Most curry recipes don't come anywhere near recreating the real thing, but old fat tongue tends to hit the spot more often than not. Wouldn't necessarily expect it to be faithful to curry house stuff, but he often adds his own twist that really works. Look at you quoting posts! It worked then? http://www.toontastic.net/board/index.php?...0&start=600 Aye, thanks for quoting me happy!

Well I s'pose if he's got any sense he'll be saying all this to the players, without saying any of it to the press. That's if he's got any sense..

That banning was the funniest thing ever Read this, and then install Google Chrome.. http://www.toontastic.net/board/index.php?showtopic=28305 If you have trouble then I'm up all night so just shout Lovely stuff, thanks angel!

I was banned years ago. These things live long in the memory. And yes I think I'm using firefox but don't quote me on that.

Btw I can't use the quote function anymore. What the fuck is all that about? Serious cry for help here, my posting is officially on the 'wayne' © over this. It's worse than that time I was banned ffs.

Aye she leads a charmed life that Shakira tbf. Oh wait, is that not what you meant....?
