I believe 6m is the going rate for a top quality striker like Smith. And a cheese savoury stottie for Cacapa

A fat fool of a chairman mouthing off in the press. Now that takes me back. * stifled sob *

I've been sacrificing a chicken every day in a bid to get Howard Wilkinson reappointed. Fingers crossed.

Poor bastards. They'll get whiplash watching the ball continually launched at the penalty spot from the back. The ones who can be arsed to turn up, that is.

Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur are both big clubs. In the top 10 historically biggest clubs in English Association Football history. You have to nit pick over which is bigger or better. Arguably Spurs currently are doing better but 10 years ago Newcastle were the much better side and should have won the league. Anyway good luck over the weekend, I like Kinnear a lot for obvious reasons, may the best team (spurs ) win Good post. I don't really care about Spurs one way or another. I've known some Spurs supporters who were canny when I lived in the South East; by the same token my brother in law was assaulted in the 90s for no reason (we were coming away from WHL after a late Beardo goal). He's called Stevie btw and now I'm beginning to wonder...... My main beef about WHL was always that it's in the middle of a shithole and difficult to get to. Not sure if a new stadium resembling a high-tech commode is going to change that.

I took the look away now option tbh. If you're going to come on here and spout nonsense, at least make it succinct and amusing. Most of us can't be arsed to read this sort of post from our own supporters, never mind a geeky statto with verbal incontinence from Finchley.

I hope the missing word comes back

"Waddya mean I've got the sack?!"

True I guess, for me most things are preferable to Ashley right now. Something else mentioned in another report about the same guy was that he would be very interested in returning Keegan to post. Keegan isn't the be all and end all. As much as I love the bloke I don't think any buyer should feel forced to bring him back in. In fact i'd hope whoever buys us doesn't bring him in as i'd like to see us move on. agree - time to move on . Not sure about an owner who "only" has £40 million in his back pocket mind. Pffffft 40 mill is lightweight. You'd find that down the back of a billionaire's sofa * * unless it's our billionaire, in which case he'd have spent it on roulette and KFC already

I'm not so sure. We really don't want to be owned by people that a) can't afford us or are genuinely desperate for a quick buck. If we've learned anything it should be that is absolutely DOES matter who owns us. In all fairness, Ashley is still probably better than Shepherd, in the sense that he was spending more than we were earning. He wasn't exactly straight with us either. There has to be another way. Preferably somebody who's obscenely rich and isn't an idiot. Or really fat.

I think the feeling's mutual. They don't want to keep him [money] and he doesn't want to stay [ambition/money/Engerland]. Both sides will try to give the fans the impression it's the other's fault....Owen (or his advisers) is a master at this. I can't see him wanting to leave in Jan as he'd be worth more personally on a free. That's good news for us as we desperately need his goals (if selected/if fit/if he can be arsed). I have to say that this general apathy towards Owen and the view that he cant be arsed is one that confuses me. You look at the likes of Viduka who spends half of every season sitting on the treatment table and the other half putting in a fraction of Owens workrate yet he doesnt come in for the stick Owen does. I believe Michael Owen is a professional, one of the biggest (not in height obviously ) professionals in the game and while he is here I believe he gives 110% for this club yet gets no return for it (other than his 100k a week paycheque obviously). That paycheque though is not Owens fault, its the fault of those willing to pay such an amount, we cant blame Owen for how much he cost or gets paid and it shouldnt affect our views of him. The biggest risk to this clubs survival will be whether Michael Owen stays or not, either way we as fans should be showing him that we want him to stay. Currently it must not appear to him that we do. The 'can't be arsed' comment was meant to be a tongue in cheek throwaway comment. Oh well.

Our only hope is spending our way out of trouble in January by buying quality proven players. I'm not holding my breath. We might be able to get Dean Windass on a free, as long as he's not too greedy with his wage demands.

Yup, good point

Invade Israel? Put a tin foil helmet on your head and lock yourself in the cellar?

I enjoyed that. Rhyming Dave Beasant with Christmas Present took a bit of nerve, mind.

No, I just mean a large scale sale and no real purchases. Yes. Once an asset stripper, always an asset stripper. As if he cares what the fans think.....

Will they invent a spray to prevent players throwing themselves down and feigning injury to win free kicks in the first place?

I find it hard to believe that anybody involved with the sale of the club would tip off the NOTW tbh

Exactly - that was the implied excuse for the £20m crap and will be used for the length of his stay. At the end of his 5 year plan we might be "really" debt free but lucky to be in the premiership. Dunno about debt free but he's certainly succeeded in making us point free

I think Diouff may be a Muslim as well so no doubt booing him because he's a despicable, cheating shit would be racist as well. I think Viduka's was fat greedy bastard (ironic as that's the only reason he signed for them) so obesist/capitalist/illigetimatist would obviously be okay. The rule seems to be it's OK to take the piss as long as they're white/Christian. Anything else is racist.

Be surprised if that 110m was anything other than an interest free loan in the first place. I expect January's transfer kitty has gone on repaying some of it too.

I think Danny is on the wind up. There are good and bad things about the setup. But it has categorically failed vis a vie the squad and our current predicament...People will debate this I guess till we get relegated, cause if we don't spend in Jan we will be fighting for our lives. I think there are some people who believe the setup is a work of genius. Despite where we sit in the table.

Our squad was woefully thin when the season began and still is; how has Ashley built a decent squad? We're utterly short in midfield (a 34 year old who can't pass the ball is our midfield lynchpin), we are short of a left back, a centre half, a back up right back and all of our strikers are injury prone except the one you want to be injured. A decent squad ? Would be funny if we were weren't in the bottom 3......
