Aren't you a recently signed up member Ant? Even made the effiort to introduce yourself I reckon 12 going by April Fools protocol.

Can't see CT being a 32 waste, isn't he 5ft 8 and near 14 stone? "32 inch waste baby!!"

Good point

Agreed.

What a bunch of pretentious, pompous, supercilious, arrogant wankers you lot are, epitomised by Monsieur Given. Get over yerselves man! I defy anyone to say they heard that lineup today and thought that pardew had got it right. We had a team out there who had no clue where they were playing or what their role was. You can't complain about 3 points but it should have been more comfortable than that. I posted (so have evidence) that it was a good line up and the only change I would have made was Santon for Simpson. We won 3-1 and missed a one on one. Maybe I am some sort of genius, or more likely not just really, really negative?

Both spot on.

It helps that Cisse is 7ft 9 and able to get on the end of this hoofball football.

Happy Birthday mate.

Religion has always baffled me.

Tecato, already had a pint with the others I would like to meet and there are a couple I really wouldn't

You are hilarious. Indeed.

She'll stop breast feeding that girl soon, look at the healthy cheeks on her!

Completely agree, he isn't infallible but some of the stick is getting silly.

Barton was 'forced' out onto a much better wage and is performing at QPR like he did his first couple of seasons here (according to their fans). We have retained those that really matter bar Enrique who would have left unless we offered really, really big money. Prefer to look at players we have got to sign new contracts like Jonas, Colo, Krul and Tiote.

Your green with envy, FTM!

I'm going in July, oh what could have been

I'm going out tonight, but luckily there's not a great chance there'll be retards sporting the God-awful tat hawked by Guiness where I go. I tell you what, it's times like this I'm delighted to be such a knob Indeed.

Great news Stevie.

Completely agree, it's a shame but I genuinely think this argument he has built up has ruined football a little for him. He is in a lose, lose situation. Still can't get over his response after the 4-4 with Arsenal where he said something like "why would I be excited about that, I have seen it all before". Seems to refuse any enjoyment now. This argument must have been going 5 years now (regarding Ashley) and 8(?) years regarding the old board. Not healthy.

He must know this argument off by heart now, does he really still need a forum to carry it on? He has probably found another Newcastle forum by now, one he has never visited before but is already telling them they were wrong and shouldn't have told him he was talking shit years ago.

I walked 30 minutes to a medical centre with a double fracture, they were useless and didn't know anything so I trained 4-5 times a week on it in agony and only went to the hospital about 3-4 weeks later when the pain got ridiculous. It's still fucked now because I didn't get it checked out properly as soon as I could. Proper hero me like, will be able to tell all the kids why I am on crutches when the arthritis sets in, fuck yeah, real man!!11

To be fair signing Cisse for £10m could be seen as an investment and Ashley hoping he does the same as Ba so without the knee fears we could double our money the way things are going. Signing a 30 year old to a lucrative 4 year contract with the option of a 5th turns things on their head however. Where is the resale value? Why not sell him now and get an average player in on a quarter of the wages? Doesn't make any sense if you genuinely believe our sole aim is to stay up. Will we sell players for silly money? Yes we will, like most clubs. Are we run too much like a business? Yes. Is Ashley in this for anything other than making a profit? Of course not. Doesn't mean it can't be successful, it's early days but we are doing far better than expected and have managed to pick up some very good players for very low fees. Obviously having vast sums of money to spend can help, if it is done right. We are never going to compete with Chelsea, Man U or Man C though which is why it's an unrealistic argument to say we will never do what we did under the old board, times have changed. It's not as straightforward as Leazes makes out though, we were still spending big money when the old board left and going backwards quickly. AVB spent loads at Chelsea and they have declined, the amount Liverpool spent in the summer they should be doing far better than they are doing, they will still be 2 points behind us if they win their game in hand.

Tbf It's not surprising LM will be brought up in situations like this, given he is often seeking to be the centre of attention when pointing out the negatives whenever he posts people will naturally notice his absence when something good happens and he doesn't have the humility to appreciate it

"Liverpool just cannot finish chances" If only they had spent £35m on a forward recently... "But he won a cup so it's been a great move for him"
