Kitman

If it's to showcase goals, let's hope we score some this season

I found it hillarious, he ran up to the Sir John Hall Stand while being chased by some lousy steward and then slid on his knees, Rooney style. Grass burns on his sack and crack?

Not sure this is even a genuine article PP

Tedious. Sirous Mahjoob? Serious Blowjob more like.

Who knows, maybe the championship is Alan Smith's level. On second thoughts.....

I don't know how anyone could take this rumour seriously.

SSN saying deal agreed. Solitary source it would seem. Believe it when it does actually happen - and not a moment too soon Well his agent has said hes waiting for a medical so im inclined to believe its happening Results of the medical: "Good God, this man has the face and body of a 50 year old!!!"

Can't say I'm bothered. But that really sums up how I feel about the club at the moment under Ashley

It's hard to tell much from this sort of blurry footage. However it doesn't seem far fetched to me, wouldn't surprise me if big cats had escaped from captivity and adapted to the British countryside. In fact it's probably descended from one of Keith Moon's former pets.

Can't say I'd blame him if he did, he's hung on for longer than they had a right to expect and he's been messed about all summer by the sound of it. It seems likely we'll start the season with Hughton, half a squad and the club in limbo; looks like the only way we'll get out of the CCC next season is to be relegated. Cheers Mike.

blah blah blah

The missing piece of the jigsaw?? As Ashley would be the major creditor, administration would seem an odd move financially. But Ashley could probably take his losses at Newcastle, which would be close to £250m, and set them against profit at his other companies, such as Sports Direct. Ashley’s tax liability would then be reduced and his loss not so great Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/...0#ixzz0MVHJ6NSx This thing about offsetting losses is likely to be a load of rubbish btw. He only owns 57 per cent of Sports Direct iirc, so he would be benefitting the other 43% SD shareholders and getting nothing from them in return. Also iirc there are all sorts of restrictions around offsetting losses between companies (which I won't bore you with) and you need to have a common corporate shareholder between SJH and SD to do it. Anyway only a complete madman would think making losses in one company to get a reduction in the tax bill of another was a good thing. Hang on a minute..... The Profitable Group have now ended their interest in buying Newcastle. Its looking like either Freddie or Administration now! No great surprise about Profitable. I wonder if they were ever serious bidders, given the amount of wind and piss they spouted in the press.

Only money talks. Ashley probably views us as an underperforming store in a prime location; he wants to sell the lease and get top dollar for it. In the meantime he's prepared to trade at a loss until he gets the right offer. Who knows what happens now; I doubt Ashley will care one iota about protests and the like.

I've given up on us being sold anytime soon. I'm trying to grin and bear it as it happens.

I like both but prefer Foster's.

Pietersen out for rest of series following surgery on achilles injury, Bell in.

He may be right about that. I'm not so sure about his claims to be the Son of God though....I don't recall the bit in the bible where Jesus spent a hefty chunk of his life as a sports presenter

Interesting question, one I would love an answer to.

You think appointing another Director of Football would be sensible? Especially a randy old goat like him, even the tea lady would be nervous. We'd also have to pay him through the nose, although that's of course the NUFC way. You sure this ME consortium didn't take over the wrong Magpies? That's right, pay him a fortune for sitting at his desk browsing porn or chasing secretaries up and down the corridor. Er, or something.

Surprised to see Coloccini showing any sort of emotion on the field. They were wrestling over his wallet apparently

Only if you can think of something which gives you equal or better value for money. To paraphrase Billy Connolly, if you stop drinking and smoking you could be the fittest guy in the old folks' home.

I'd be interested to know how many of the 25,000 include people who signed up for the 3 year deal previously so have rolled on another year automatically.

I'm getting confused between Howmanheyman and Stevie. Are they one and the same?
