There you go Leazes, a bit of effort put in and this can still be an anti Ashley thread

No it wasn't you Parklife, can't remember who it was but they got REALLY angry about it

The phone is ringing again, it's 2005 asking for it's joke back... Fish!

One of us then.

Speaking of schmilner who was it on here who went off on a massive rant at me about how shit he was and how he would never play play for England....?

Congrats

Duncan Goodhew innit?

I would have guessed it was a "High 5".

I wish our manager had the balls to do something like that, but he simply doesn't. Any time someone complains (even for the smallest of things), he will take the meal off their bill. Someone complained that the 'Whole Lemon Sole' had too many bones in (it's a WHOLE Lemon sole ffs...), and despite the fact that they ate all of it regardless, he gave them it for free... Where is it you work again....

SMO and Wacky's banter was funny as fuck back in the day.

The shittest and least likely to make any big moves in the transfer market.

So you want us to sign someone who is pushing the top scorer in the league? Fletcher has around one in three record for a woeful team and it's his first season in the premiership. . At the moment we would be lucky for that. Players who are guaranteed to score 15+ a season cost a hell of a lot of money, we won't be spending a hell of a lot of money.

Have a good one

Out of the conversation, I can't go on anymore!

I would say "fair enough, you only argued your corner" if you weren't often the one bringing it up in the first place and in completely unrelated threads. You even do it on here in general chat "well you said I was wrong about the previous board too" in a thread about immigration ffs! Sorry but as much as you try to delude yourself and others, everyone else can see you aren't the poor victim defending your corner. Sometimes you are just responding to others comments but more often than not you will be the one bringing it up or taking the chance to debate the same old shit again from something that could slightly be related that that debate. You will also claim others have said what they haven't (myself for example), time and time again just to help your argument. Anyway.... this is fucking boring now and I can't believe I am having to type this again, I must learn to use that copy and paste function a bit more often, it would save me a lot of time. Maybe you could give me some tips Have a fun night telling me and others what we have said and having the never ending argument again, I'm out!

We have established a number of times now that I wasn't one of those who insisted you were wrong, only for you to say something along the lines of "well there were plenty on there who did". Why are we going through this again? Because it's all you have? As you say, you could definitely educate most (not just the dirty southerners) and I said MANY times you could. That was one of my main disappointments in you as a poster, instead of actually using your vast knowledge of Newcastle you would only ever bang on about the one subject and it got very boring, especially as it took over every thread you chose to post in even if it wasn't remotely related to the topic being discussed you would find some way of starting it off again. Anyway this is going off topic again and going into "personal jibes" as always. As I was saying, it started to fall apart at a rapid rate when SBR was sacked and has done ever since. Ashley put the final nail in the coffin and we got relegated. Hopefully he sells up in the summer and we get an owner who a) has a clue wants what is best for the club and c) is prepared to invest without putting the entire clubs future in danger. Although "expectations have been lowered" I am still very happy we have been promoted because if we hadn't I would have serious concerns about the future. Good job Chris Hughton!

Fucking stalker him like!

As much as you want to believe it (like the attention and that) I am not following you around. I signed up here a long time ago (probably before you, I should have checked before I replied). It is a much better place without your boring, predictable shite taking up every thread btw. Anyway back to the discussion about the Halls, Shepherd and Mike Ashley.....

We stopped buying raffle tickets and started investing in magic seeds when Souness came in.

Can't see any good reason not to

I think the first few were actually on their way out when the third went in (7 minutes), did you see the bloke punch the wall?

Winning the FA Cup caused their current situation did it ? So you DO think clubs shouldn't be striving to win tournaments ? You can comment on the rest of the post that you clipped if you like, but I suspect you won't. No they spent more money than they could afford, this enabled them to win the FA cup but then led to their current situation. It isn't as simple as "spend money and you will be successful" which seems to be a magic formula. YES if you want to be successful you do need to spend money, you also need to make sure the money being spent is being spent right. Employing the right manager is essential in doing this which is something we failed to do since Sir Bobby. Now I completely agree it isn't easy to employ someone who is guaranteed to be a success (which is why I think giving Hughton a chance isn't the worst idea in the world) but some of the appointments since Sir Bobby where clearly the wrong choice. As has been mentioned on here, Souness was heavily rumoured to be jobless in the very near future when at Blackburn. They must have been taking it in turns in the boardroom to pinch each other when someone not only offered to take their manager away meaning they won't have to pay compensation but they were also going to RECEIVE money for it. I still remember the day he was appointed and someone actually came up to me before I found out asking what the hell we were doing appointing him, I thought they were taking the piss. We have been on a downward spiral from then appointing one poor choice to the next and that includes Mike Ashley and no amount of throwing money at the problem was going to fix it with the wrong people in charge. We were still digging the hole, the only difference is we were using a solid gold spade instead of the standard B&Q one.

Sounds like Beckford has gone on gardening leave since the window closed too
