Toonpack

It's more the fact that Rangers have 54 titles and Celtic have 48 or something, compared to 19 for Man utd, 18 for Liverpool, 13 for Arsenal, Everton have 9 or 10, loads of teams on 6,5,4,3 etc the English leagues are far more competitive. Used to be. Not now. The gulf in money has changed all that. The "it's ridiculous up there" argument used to be perfectly valid, it's valid no longer IMO.

There's only two or three in the PL capable of "winning it", in the SPL it's the same two year on year, bugger all difference tbh. The "new" potential winner is hugely bankrolled, which is a distortion of competition, if someone bankrolled Kilmarnock or suchlike, they'd compete as well. It's all based on disparity in fincancial clout. who are those three? because its been a bunch of them, 2/3 potential winners every season that changes a little each year or two is about as good as you get in top european leagues Does it matter, really?? It just goes to show how truly "uncompetitive" top league football is. To state only 2 teams are ever going to win a 12 team league makes it "ridculous" and yet in a 20 team league only one or two teams more than that could win it and that's "competitive", is just daft.

The Prem aint much different these days in terms of competition

Hopefully they'd follow the same route

Or you can stand for 19 Yeah but you don't get beer brought to your seat then. I was just illustrating its what people spend on other things at matchday which is probably the difference now under Ashley. I get the feeling people are spending a lot less on variables. A good comparison is that hsv ticket prices are more or less where Spurs prices are. Hamburg is the richest city in Germany. The commercial revenue's are much bigger in Germany as well aren't they??, I seem tor recall reading something somewhere that commercially Bayern blow even Man U out the water. T'was the rambler (again) (Even Shalke are "close" !!!)

By a mile, he's been charging £4.5 Mill interest on his loans every year, until 09/10 when an additional £7.7 Million in "management fees" appeared on top of his loan interest. (source - the Ramble) Not sure what last year showed. European games are the big contributor to additional revenue, from exposure and importantly more games = more gameday dosh.

Why didn't you post ANYTHING on here between 17th August and 3rd December? Wouldn't consider using the word fickle in that glass house of yours pal. ISP problems have effected Mackemville, but now obviously getting fixed, more and more mackems returning to NUFC boards.

Gordon Lee, decent record but not a popular bloke, for several reasons http://www.toon1892.co.uk/detail_manager.php?id=12

Difference in ave attendance last season to this: 2022 Liverpool 1207 Newcastle United 1162 Manchester City 769 Wigan Athletic 670 Bolton Wanderers 375 Stoke City 360 Tottenham Hotspur 335 Fulham 281 Manchester United 205 Chelsea -81 Arsenal -125 West Bromwich Albion -1705 Sunderland -2183 Wolverhampton Wanderers -2667 Blackburn Rovers -2992 Aston Villa -3006 Everton

Pretty similar reasons under both Ashley and Hall. I hope you aren't going to start saying the first reign of Keegan was a waste of time etc like Toonpack and a few others do ? More lies

If Spurs do a job on the dippers tonight, I'll gladly (well not really "gladly") take a tonking at the weekend.

Two actually The second part of my user name would be the hint. Will you still support the Queens when they're in LA ????

Be good if he was in the nick before next saturday.

I've read another report saying it's McLeish he's had a go at. If that's true it's a disaster for Villa. That's what I've heard, supposedly told McLeish to fuck off at half time, Petrov evidently had a similar go when N'Zogbia was sub'd.

I can understand his hesitancy to a point, he's shit quick and until now (the arrival of Cisse) if he just went straight for the byline there'd be no fucker in the box. Now however Pardew should be telling him just fucking go for the byline straight away, no thinking just do it, get to line and fire it across. Now there's someone in the team who may arrive in the box with pace. How many times have we seen balls played into the box and no bugger there this season. He's still a relative bairn as well, if he's no better next season, then's the time to "have a go" at him. Way too soon just now.

Spot on Deaders, he's been an usung hero this season.

It's becoming a flaaaaaaaaaaaaash in the pan. Great finish by Demba2, when he fully adjusts to the game (his offside habit) he's gonna be a handfull, good feet as well. Perch very fit to wear the shirt today. Guthrie a total revelation. They don't half put you through it though, dropped WAY deep in that last 5 mins. February, equal with Chelsea,above Arsenal and the victims, fucking hell

I can tell you haven't been in the playground lately. Do you monitor playgrounds closely Leazes ??

He's doing a shite job at that mind. Those two words should have followed "tick".

That bit highlights your ignorance, if the minor shareholder happens to be the Chairman, yes they make the major decisions, and it happens all the time. The Chairman is in charge of EVERYTHING day to day, hiring, firing, aquiring new assetts etc.Just keep the share price OK and the Dividends rolling in and a majority shareholder will not even show his face.

They didn't btw Original outlay was a loan from Cameron Hall Ltd, to the club, at around 6% interest. Was a leveraged buy out.

The statement in itself is what I believe. Cassidy's words, in that statement, portray my belief. That's it, as far as I am concerned. Aye, as you've said. It doesn't make you look any less stupid though. Just so you know. Like I give a fuck tbh
