My pro Ashley mate on the text already "great news for NUFC this" pipe down #naivemugs If we're going to sell we'll get more money. You yourself said we'd be nuts to turn down £35m for a player 'none of us thought was worth £10m 6 months earlier'. Nobody's saying he's now unsellable but it does show that he's at least prepared to risk the fact that he'll be here for a long time.

Why? Because I'm opening them thinking I'm going to find something new and meaningful in them! When in reality it's just an agreement of what others said at the time Oh that's rich, coming from you....

That sir, is magnificent.

Definitely worth keeping IMO. I think he's got a good attitude and some natural ability.

lol

I agree with this. We had definitely lost our way post Robson.

Fancy you not picking up on that...! I haven't read it on a regular basis for about 20 years tbh. Still canny funny when I do have a deek at it like. I was joking mate. I wasn't thinking you could possibly have guessed the reference! I do still get the odd annual though and always end up having a chortle at the Top Tips/Letters page. Not as good as it was although that's probably cause smaller things amused me when I was 20, signing on and stoned all the time. Always good when you'd have two people supposedly arguing via the letters page, only one of them is replying to a letter in the same issue Yeah, and I love the names, like Major Topson-Fingers or Hapag Lloyd. There was a beauty in the letters page I remember something like "these new speed bumps all over our roads are a complete farce. If anything they slow you down!"

surreal and hilarious. Imagine them sitting their humming along to Fly withoot wings. That's Westlife. Gawd.... Could have had the perhaps more fitting 'Love e for a Reason' or 'Life is a Rollercoaster' That's one of Roland's solo efforts. Ronan? Or this bloke? Oh Erkan. It's a habit I got from Viz. They had a 'cut out and keep' Take That poster back when they were big the first time and they all had ridiculous/wrong names but Gary Barlow was 'Doughnut'. They always cut their heads out really badly too so they looked even more cuntish. Do you remember the cut-out-and-keep Bros mug featuring Matt, Luke and 'Ken'? Maybe that was the one! I think I'm getting two different things mixed up. It was a cracking read back then although like I say, it was possibly to do with other factors.

I went for 3 but that's fickle as fuck and largely to do with the fact we've got some good results lately. Signings like Tiote (and hopefully Ben Arfa) are the kind of signings I wish we'd been better at when FFS was here. There was always a whiff of a backhander once we started signing players like Luque and Boumsong. Having said that. Carroll was the most exciting player we've had since Shearer in his prime and he's cashed in. So...I guess we'll have to see how we get on in the summer. I can see us struggling to keep our better players and lots of teams do well the first year after promotion, only to be found out the next season. I hope he realises this.....

That article says he's got 18 months left and they're offering a two year deal on £20k a week less. Umm...... (not that I'm saying the article's gospel)

Even the second goal looked flukey. He could have easily put it over.

Could be wrong but I think you're angling towards Victor Moses who ended up at Wigan signing from palace. He had a seriously tough early life. That's the fella, thanks.

Didn't we nearly sign an African guy who ended up at Palace who went through a similar ordeal? They must think 90% of their team mates are total cunts whenever they start moaning about something completely trivial.

he's noticed that when you "kiss the badge" someone comes in with a Big Offer he'll be gone by August Can't see a bigger club than us wanting him tbf.

be serious would ya, he's not fucking Essien If Carroll's worth £35m then Tiote's worth £25m.

Tiote's worth £25m....it's his career and if he wants to go now he wants to go now. If we have a £3-5m replacement lined up who's as good then for once I won't complain. Not holding my breath though.

I can see him being a decent manager.

Yep. When we got promoted last time we decided we were going to go for it rather than piss about with Everton/Villa style 'plans' which never work. If we could have had Shepherd's ambition with Ashley's savvy in the transfer market we'd probably be doing very well. You need 50% swagger and 50% miser.

He died Gemmill....
