But he would have been shaking with emotion as he wrote it

That must be a decent guide to what French judges earn

Not to mention the ridiculous cost of buying home grown (or born even).

I'd prefer a Napoleon one tbh, much more "attacking"

Standard NUFC fans default position

Not yet, club holds all the cards.

Where's he gone like ???

Two ???

They couldn't stop him (have no influence on) signing a pre-contract, which evidently he's done, so he's deffo off to us for nothing in the summer. They can sit him and pay his wages for a few months or take a nominal fee now, that's the leverage.

So does Michael Winner (even today)

He's currently goosed

Have that in my game, but it's unenforceable in law I am told, and no-one has tried to enforce it, even though I know folks have broken that clause. In football NUFC will hold his FIFA registration for the duration of the contract (or until they see fit to release it).

Calm down, it's a shopped job

Not unless we get bigger, tougher and faster on defence it won't be.

I fucking hate the Niners (going back to the Montana/Young days) and the Ravens are MEH !! Won't be watching

Must admit my heart skipped a beat when I first saw the thread (and the full title hadn't sunk in) I have a 18x12 copy of the below picture with a rather large original autograph (about 8 inches long) I bought about 18 years ago (it is pukka) was talking to a dealer when I was in Houston last year and he reckoned my pic (because this one with the bent arm has been withdrawn from reproduction by the photographers estate and Ali's folks, and because of it's size - and it's a good sig as Ali wasn't as shaky all that time ago) was worth around $6000 now and that would double when Ali passes away (I paid $300). Happy Birthday Ali, I can wait ;-)

As a slight aside, could Tim Krul maybe consider saving a shot on occassion, or have a display like the Reading keeper had, please.

This. Been supportive of him so far but yesterday's subs (when he had a decent-ish squad to choose from) we're bizarre, can understand the Cabaye one (even if he didn't have a knock) but the preceeding Marveaux one !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Indeed he was

Aye he did, never the same after that.

Remember when Jinky (I think) did that Brum player (who's name completely escapes me) photo of the wound was in the Chrinicle, looked like a war wound.

That's all spot on I characterised our back four of the time (Natrass and Kennedy full backs) on NO as: The back four was like pulling a stunning bird with stunningly great legs, spread them only to find a cock waiting in the middle.

Well there's the internet me and then there's the "real" me Of course many of my football views are the real me, but given football isn't that much to me anymore, (can still screw my weekend to a point) I suppose to those who still care a whole lot my somewhat maudlin, at times, views would appear to be depressing if spoken by someone who cared much. It's just what I think, wouldn't place any strong emotion to it.

Fuck off, I shall pipe down when I choose

I am, I am an extremely jocular chap because I don't dwell on stuff, take it for what it is/was and move on.
