Hova, you're clearly not going to get the answer you want so why flog a dead horse? The majority of fans, me included, do not see this as KK versus club but KK versus Ashley & co. and regardless of where the money will eventually come from that is what it actually is. If Ashley loses that then it will vindicate the fans in their reaction to Keegan walking out...not that we should need vindication after what has happened to us since then. It'll be another major body blow to the "Ashley was hard done by"/"Keegan is spineless" brigade, whether it be Joe Kinnear or some of the wheelchair bound wankers over on N-O. The money is immaterial. Is it going to leave the fans worse off? I can't see how. Is it going to leave the club worse off? It's a possibility but then the cash wouldn't have been spent on anything tangible anyway. There'd have been no players bought with it and the ongoing firesale would continue without it. Anyway, if for once Steve Howey and the newspapers are correct and the conclusion of this will see the takeover finally going ahead then who is going to care about £8 million? A lot of people understand your point of view but simply don't agree with it. I don't understand why you're going over the same old ground with the same old posters and getting irritated when people don't suddenly admit you're right.

This What about this though? ?????? Agree with tom that 4 mills a lot of money and agree with Steve that keegan can basically do know wrong in my eyes. Ideally If he has been offered 4 mill I would urge him to take it only because I would hate to see him "ruined" by Ashley. If Barry Moat has any football sense he will appoint keegan and not Shearer. That would nicely draw a line and make the world right again. He'd appoint neither.

Ah, that makes it slightly better. I thought it was a one off.

What the fuck? Aside from three or four first team players the rest had barely hit puberty. Hardly something to get cock in hand about.

It's not going to make any difference. Ashley has been trying to sell anything and everything anyway, I don't see why that would change regardless of the outcome of this case. I've no doubt if he loses and if he's still here at Christmas he'll use the KK case as an excuse for shipping out one or two more saleable assets but the past 18 months have told me that's the norm for MA. It would just be another empty excuse.

I hope Keegan wins the money he's entitled to. It's not going to impact on the club's fortunes in any way as we don't buy players nowadays

Pay players a working wage of 14k p/a, strikers get 30k every time they score a goal, midfielders for every assist, defenders and goalkeepers for every clean sheet. Add a 50k win bonus on top. Done.

I'd rather thumb wire wool up my arsehole than sit through an Alan Carr 'gig'.

Can't be any worse than giving it to Martins.

Most of the stewards were good craic and just let you get on with it but there was one jobsworth, complete with headset, who took it upon himself to act like a complete wanker. Good game. I've got really bad sunburn

I hope KK is correct and he wins every cent of the cash he is owed. It wont effect us. We're fucked regardless. Go King Kev.

Barton was useless today. Np passion, no energy, no pace...I thought he'd be one of the players to set us apart but he has been shit. He's shirked away from any responsibility within the team. I hope his legs drop off. Enrique had a fairly dodgy outing too. Which isn't good but he was still our best defender. Two Pools was canny but nowt amazing. Hughton started wrongly but I cant remember the last time an NUFC manager actually used subs effectively so kudos to him. Two up front needs to be the norm. Dutland Custard is lersh.

Lets not talk about 451 as if it's the norm. Hughton has had that forced on him by virtue of the fact we had one, possibly two strikers. I'm certain he'll revert back to 442 tomorrow.

4-0 Carroll x 2, Guthrie and Ranger

Ranger looked fucked towards the end against Cardiff. I can only assume he didn't want to burn him out. Agree with that. Nee idea. Because until very recently he's had to. Assuming Lovenkrands isn't fully match fit then Ranger was effectively our only striker.

I have lost all faith in Him. 'Him' being the our lord, the one true God almighty.

Nicky Butt brings nothing to the team other than fouls, bad passes and ginger hair. The first black mark against Hughton this season for me starting with one up front. As I said over on N-O if you're going to play one man up top then someone who can hold the ball up is preferable to someone whose strength is flicking the ball on.

Cuntflaps.

1-0 Carroll!

Colo nearly made it two in two

There's no doubt in my mind Alonso must've known something was going to happen. If I was a driver and the carefully calculated strategy the team had been working was thrown out of the window at the last second for something which, on paper, looks daft considering my position, i'd be inclined to kick up a stink ot at least ask why.

Indeed. Completely bizarre he got a second chance after last season.

I can't help but think the FIA are going to use the admission from Flav and PS to dish out a pretty soft punishment to Renault. The last think they want is another constructor to leave the sport.

Flav and Symonds have admitted guilt in the race fix row. They've left Renault.

Some of these selections are Championship Manageresque Lua Lua has only played half a dozen games, none of which he's been hugely convincing in as of yet. Jonas' lack of an end product is annoying but at this level he's always going to terrorise wingers and full backs in this league. Vuckic has barely hit puberty and should be a bench warmer for the foreseeable future unless we're hit by another spate of injuries. It rarely plays off to throw a kid in at the deepend in the way suggested. When everyone is fit we go with this: Harper Simpson Taylor Colo Enrique Raylor Guthrie Smith Jonas Ameobi Carroll Subs: Krul, Kadar, Geremi, Barton, Lua Lua, Lovenkrands, Ranger Nicky 'Old Yeller' Butt should be taken around the back of the training ground and shot by Colin Calderwood, he's way past his sell by date and he may have rabies.
