Looking at the figures makes no sense to me really. Although the loss in relegation season compaired to the season before that isnt that bad. What with a small outlay this season, increased TV money and other spin offs surely would mean breaking even? They say thats before the Carroll money so that would suggest that a good proportion of that 35mil can be spent in the summer then?

Absolutely would be on my shopping list and shouldnt cost any more than 4-5mil. Exactly what we need in the middle of the park alongside Tiote. Barton and Jonas or Ben Arfa out wide.

Good work dude. I'm sure there's a fair few Americans on Herr. Would be funny to hear new workers shouting way the screen. "Come ohwan ahmeyobee"

you particular brand of mindless optimism is beyond tedious. It was a shit interview given by a manager so grateful to have a job that he will toe the party to the extent that he loses and credibilty he had left. Ashley doesn't give a shit about the club and we will never progress with him in charge. Stop trying to polish the turd of a situation the club is in. Id rather be a tedious optimist tryin to stay positive and hoping for the best rather than a tedious and rather aptly named doom monging troll like yourself. What with all the negativity and clinging on the to shit, your life must be so exciting. Il stick with my.opinion thanks. It's.people like you and tecato who contribute towards the shit nervous atmosphere at the games. Positivity breeds Positivity ma'man.

I think being a selling club to some extent is what we have to accept whilst FMA owns us but thats not to say we cant progress. And on the flipside if it means we run at a profit and puts us in a strong financial position when the new regulations come in then its not all bad.

He said absolutely nowt man But what dya want him to say? Enrique, Tiote and Barton wont go anywhere? We've heard that before and he knows we wont beleive it. He explained the situation with Enrique and thats fair enough from both sides. We will challenge top 6 next year? He said thats the aim at some point, even if the monetry value of the Europa league isnt great he says its what we should aspire too. We will challenge for a cup? He actually said thats one of his aims. We will spend spend spend? Thats just playin into other clubs hands to drive up prices. I think its a pretty decent interview.

Ben Arfa back on monday!

What do you lot expect from him ffs? I think that was a pretty honest and upfrtont interview. I actually think he will come good, he needs the backin in the summer and maybe just maybe FMA mite just do whats right for the club. Keep the faith.

That was a year ago....

The boyz got skillz like.

Any link up anywhere?

Looking likely that Ireland, Barton, Best and Enrique will be fit for this. ---Harper--- Simpson---Taylor---Coloccini---Enrique Barton---Ireland---Nolan---Jonas ---Best---Shola--- 3-1 Ireland, Nolan and Shola

YAWN FUCKIN YAWN

Will be interesting to see how honest and open he is or how much of a puppet he actually is.

Who in the french squad or in the french leagues for that matter would be good targets in the summer? AP has already said we are scouting france as well as holland a germany.

Very solid performance today. Parker was quality.

We will stay up. Im not worried. Win against Wolves will ease the pressure. I'd love to see us go for bendtner and vela from arsenal.

What is a big club? Simples really. In order of importance. Ambition Trophy pedigree History Support A big club NEEDS all of those. We USED to be a big club.

I disagree there. Go to Fulham away Alex, you have 3,000 toon fans proper, and 3,000 Southern toon fans in that neutral bit, I think it's easy to underestimate our national fanbase, the Keegan years brought us hundreds and thousands of new fans. In 1995 we sold 850,000 home shirts in the UK, more than the England shirt, four times Celtic's shirt, and second only to Man Utd. That's the untapped potential of NUFC, we're romanticised, we just need a sustained period of a few years where we look like we'll do something and we'd have as big as support as anyone bar Man Utd. The reason SKY put us on more than Chelsea even is because of the audiences we get even though we're shit. In our relegation season 1.9m people watched Sunderland v Newcastle, just 1.2m could be arsed to watch Everton v Liverpool the week before, that shows you the potential of NUFC. Go anywhere in the country, any city, any town, even a small town, and there'll be a toon fan there. In terms of local support we're far ahead of anyone else apart from Man Utd and Arsenal. Overall fanbase I'd say we're 4th then Chelsea, and a group of teams who's fans would all fuck off if they were shit like Spurs, Everton, Villa, Leeds, Sunderland - Villa being easily the smallest of them. Good post.

One of my all time favourite toon players. Watching that i forgot how many goals he scored for us!

He wont have done much to improve his situation by doing that! What an idiot especially when he might have even got in the team due to injuries and suspensions. Does the red card mean he can't play in Premiership matches - if so thats 3 matches he will miss. Though then again he may be no loss and don't think he even made the bench against Stoke! Though the reserves lost 2-1, Michael Richardson scored, think he might be a good prospect for the future. Just out of curiosity....how many proper gingers have made it to be good or class players? I can only think of Paul Scholes.

How can he when the windows closed you tool.

Theres talk of both Bendtnar and Vela being available in the summer. If we are to spend around 30mil then id splash about 15mil on them two. Thats our new strikeforce sorted.
