I'm dissapointed Ben Arfa isn't starting, especially after his performance and goal in the cup. Guess we have to trust Pards judgement as he's been right a lot more than wrong and we are 7th not 17th

Is the club making a profit?

Should be or the players will be confused as it kicks off then

you truly are a hopeless case. You saying the finances were sound when Ashley bought the club? I'm still waiting for you to show me where I said we would finish 4th Outside Liverpool and Man U I can't remember many clubs being sold for more than we were. Amazing to think we were such a hopeless cause. If Ashley had done his homework he wouldn't have bought the club, that's one of the reasons he runs it as he does. Based on what? What was written at the time Sourced from liars who also said "We did the typical due diligence one would do on a public takeover. There is no sense that anyone has tried to mislead us." ..and he bought shares. Stock prices reflect the market value, based on submitted accounts, don't they? Otherwise Shepherd would be done for fraud. Wasn't it common knowledge he didn't do due diligence? Sure there was a debate on here. Wasn't it also common knowledge our finances were in a pretty poor state?

Has Santon always played LB?

Maximizing its income?? If I go and max out my credit cards, get a few bank loans and remortage my house is that maximizing my income or is it reckless spending? That's what happend under Halls/Fred towards the end, although you will never admit the finances were in a very poor state. Ashley is running the club within its means, not as exciting but that's how it is

at the time, bonny lad, at the time. You're showing your ignorance. Jack Walker bought the title, as you don't appear to know this. Of course I know but was hardly on the scale of City. We finished 6th that season, so 7th this year won't be too bad don't you think?? read the post properly man. I did, it reads like 95% of all your posts. as I have said to you, your posts are so varied, interesting and knowledgeable deluded, its unreal Deluded?? Finishing 7th? admitting players will get sold? Saying we can't compete financially with some clubs? Which one of these, enlighten me o wise one who has finished 7th ? You and others said we were going to finish 4th a couple of months ago ? When did I say that? The seasons not over yet but I think we are capable of finishing 7th, which would be progress

Comparing Jack Walker to Sheik Mansoor, Haha, priceless.

Wasn't it Souness who bought the wrong player for Southampton over the phone to the lads 'agent'. Not sure? Possibly. I remember him signing a player who was supposedly George Weah's cousin and a proper cush player. He brought him on as sub and then went on to sub him later in the game, after it became apparent that he wasn't even a professional footballer. Aye I think that's him, class. Guy's name is Ali Dia. From Wiki: Fucking hilarious. Better signing than Boumsong tbh

If nobody else hold him accountable, I fucking will I'm the Paxman of toontastic, the Roger Cook, the David Frost... I'll get to the bottom of this or I'll make him look an arse, either way, I win. you won't. I'll win, because Mike Ashley will NEVER match the league positions of the previous regime, despite them being hopeless etc etc......because in essence he only wants to do it on the cheap which is impossible, I've been saying it since he bought the club, and I'm well ahead and I'm going to stay there. Everyone knows he won't so why do you keep on with the same shit?? It would be virtually impossible to do it without a massive investment, the best way we can hope is like Spurs have but it will take a long time, its only our second season back in the premiership. On a side note didn't you say Ashley would bring champions league?? Someone had your quote as their signature

Got a feeling for a big win for us 4-0

sadly, this is where you and others like you fall down. What I say is correct. There is no reason whatsover why we should behave like Bolton, Blackburn etc rather than the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal and Spurs etc, like we did previously. I think its the Arsenal/Spurs model that we are trying to follow(not throwing mega bucks at players) and running the club within its means. It's taken Spurs a while to get there and they have sold big players on the way. Arsenal are finding it difficult to sustain a challenge against the big 3 with all the resources they have. This is only our second season back in the premier league and a few of the so called experts tipped us to go down so last seasons finish and our current situation points to a degree of progress so far but there is a very long way to go and I'm in no doubt some of our best players will be sold if very big offers come and until we are in a position to turn them down it will continue. The only way to keep players is the City/Chelsea way of paying massive wages coupled with massive investment. The Man Utd way of doing it by reputation and consistency. Even Arsenal can't hold on to their best players in this crazy market

When we beat Man United 5-0, did we not then go to Leicester and lose 2-0? So by Leazes logic that team would have lacked quality

I would say most people on here know what Ashley is about so you don't need to keep reminding everyone with your I told you so posts, very boring. You could cherry pick results from most seasons where we beat top teams and lost to so called lower teams so not sure what you are getting at there

is that your expert view ? Of your repetitive posts, Yes you know nowt. About anything. can't believe you are 38 or 39 years old and are unable to see a selling club when it stares you in the face. How many times have you seen NUFC play ? Your posts are, of course, as varied and interesting as anybody else I've ever read. If you think I'm going to say how well the future is going to be when I know it is going to be nothing of the sort, you can think again. I don't expect you to post anything different. We just played Man U off the park and you say nothing. If we won the FA cup and qualified for Europe it would be a flash in the pan. You only want to moan and preach what most of us know. Just enjoy what is happening on the pitch and then pass judgement on sales and acquisitions as and when they happen.

is that your expert view ? Of your repetitive posts, Yes

They should be getting a new contract done for him to sign before the CAN We all know the situation if big money is offered AND the player wants off then its going to happen but £10m for BA is criminal although nobody predicted just how well he would do. £25m will see Tiote off too I reckon

Jaszinho only play FIFA and fightnight
