Despite all that I've said and posted on and on and on, you can't get it into your head that I have little like for Ashley can you. It's not a hard thing to comprehend, even for someone who's not that bright.

and now they realise I was right apart from you and TN that is... Just for the record, I don't.

Halkaline jews are the exact opposite

I think I've said before that in my darker moments I think losing a third of the human race (or more) might actually be good from a big picture angle - the only thing that would do that is something as big as a meteor/comet strike. Muslims? Boils down to a probable 3 choices in general terms: The "Third world" - most of Africa and maybe bits of South America and Asia. All religious fucktards of any and all types. Chinese + Indians - no prejudice really - just to keep it sort of neat (probably add the Yanks into that group just for a laugh) While were offending people, don't forget the gays and maybe the western underclasses.

Was just thinking about this on Sunday when I was down the Dene with the dog early morning. Spent hours down there as a kid with binoculars, both watching birds and pilfering their eggs. Still enjoy watching birds to this day. My 70's mirror-lense Foster Grant's were always handy for a bit of surreptitious summer "bird watching"

How long do you have to watch to be considered a viewer ??? I usually watch from the start through the first corner to see who's won.

Aye true, wouldn't dream of it now. That said, the volume of hedgerows/woodland was considerably higher when I was a laddo, most of the places we used to go have houses on them now. I doubt we had much of an effect on the wild bird population tbh, unlike bloody cats.

The Blue Nowhere, by Jeffrey Deaver, supoib novel. Am currently reading (just started) The Civil War by Shelby Foote (3 volumes), waited months to get my hands on it (for less than £100) and now thankfully in reprint for just over £50.

Agreed, I don't need my darker moments for that thought though. A big plague'd work as well probably given the ease and volume of global people movement these days. Nature'll clean house, sooner or later.

Was never in from dawn till dusk most days. On the bike, spent days on end down Holywell or Bluebell dene or down the beach. Always carried a knife, my big "pride and joy" sheath knife on my belt for cutting down a good "Y" to make a catpult (for ratting, never got one mind) or if not that my penknife for playing split (or chicken). Couldn't play chicken with the sheath knife, it'd go through any shoe !! Never contemplated that I'd ever stab or threaten anyone with either of them. Birdsnesting, had a great egg collection at one point.

Tidied

Shola and Lovenkrands have scored more goals in less minutes on the pitch, than Defoe and Crouch. Also holds true if you add Best and Pavlyuchenko Alledgedly, not checked it out.

Poll invalid, no - West Auckland 1910/11 Double WORLD champions End of thread

You realise to achive that net spend of £1 Million, in your example, we'd have to spend £59 Million. Eeejit

This year is likely to be our highest ever revenue, how's that "gone down" bit work ?? Personally sick of trawling for actual figures (that no-one reads), so if you would be so kind, maybe you could back that up and maybe with a comparison to other clubs trends would be good, just for balance. I can't be arsed to do a comparison, but anybody who goes to games must have noticed the empty seats, the lack of sponsors, and its a fact that nobody in the Far East is buying shirts with Shola Ameobi on the back. This all means our revenues are down when put against our competitors, they must have done, or why would soopa Mike be having trouble paying the mortgage [according to Mad Jock] In any case, come September 1st and we have not spent the Carroll money, at least..... Revenue's have stagnated league wide btw (excluding TV dosh). The only place commercial revenue is going mad is Germany they dwarf the Prem clubs in those earnings. I think Mad Jock's point is not about Ashley paying the mortgage (becasue it is paid off already) but how would the club have paid the mortgage without a new owner. But I'll leave that to Mad Jock, whoever he is.

When was that ??? Knew you'd not answer my "ability to compete" question above, skillfull manouver of the thread away from the point of my post BTW. It might not be Windaz. Now. Dekka says he has paid the debts, you don't think he's done it out of the goodness of his heart do you ? So has he paid them, or is Dekka telling porkie pies. If we do not attempt to compete with the likes of Liverpool and Spurs then we are doing NUFC a disservice, as the Halls and Shepherd proved by finishing above Liverpool sometimes, by competing with them, and finishing above Spurs pretty much every season or the vast majority if my memory serves me correctly, this was while they were being run by Alan Sugar "like a business" though. Thought you didn't want to do this again Leave it for Mad Jock. I don't, but just thought the comparison figures were interesting, when I dug them out. Always differed with you on the Liverpool v us thing, usually on the stature in the game fluff and nonsense, but those figures are "wow" even you must see that. Hopefully a few years out of the CL and continued trophyless seasons will see the rotten stack of cards tumble. Alrady the makings of a groundswell against Carroll on their forums, which is nice. I can assure you, as well, that I despise/hate Liverpool above all other clubs.

And yet still fits the "buy with resale value rule". Could happen.

It's an very old login 2005, so could be anyone, just basing the Windaz theory on the questions asked. The stadium was never in question and congrats to the last owners, it was one of the good things they did. It's "good" debt, as in, one that is self financing. Sadly that good debt accounted for just over half of our total exposure. As for the second part, not sure how you can blame someone who's taken over the debt from the lenders (stadium and all others), thus making repayments not being met a non issue. AND in the process saved the club £28 Million in interest payments, surely someone who did that should be similarly congratulated. Correct ?

It could be, I always thought the player comming in was the most important, not his cost ?

Of course we should, if we hadn't the drop off to Liverpool/Spuds above would have been humungously worse. Based on the questions asked, I thought it might be Windaz.

Just for the record: In the 4 years covering season's 04/05 through to 07/08 Liverpool recorded revenues in excess of (as in more than) ours by £226 Million in total, in the same period they achieved profits of £29.53Million (in total) Spurs recorded revenues in excess of (as in more than) ours by only £1.4 Million but in the same period they achieved profits of £49.9 Million (in total) In the same period we accumulated losses of £69.6 Million. So no, I don't think we can compete with the head starts they've had for a while yet, do you ??, really ?? Does anyone ? Previous to 04/05 it was more even in total revenues (I gave up trying to find profit's as it was a pain finding those years I've posted), but on commercial revenue Liverpool have always dwarfed us, champions league or not and from 04/05 they've absolutely raced away. All the above is fact, revenue figures calculated from Deloitte's list (that you like so much) profit figures from general trawling of the net.

From who ?? Not me, no matter what the outcome. not me either. Edit Mad Jock seems to have disappeared already If it's who I think it is, he's not been online elsewhere either.
