I hope so, puzzles me how we can push for £25M for Andy Carroll and yet some players we let go with a whimper.

Any ideas? Speedtest shows fine around 15mb download. But at that same time this site, Facebook, BBC all struggled to respond. So, if download is ok, whats in the way of different sites opening?

Read that in a few places now. Kinda takes the gloss off the de Jong signing. Yeah, £12M is good money but whats the fucking point. Makes me think the transfer pot we have is empty and we need to sell to buy. Oh the fucking joy.

Fat.

Dont think he has shown much for us to be bothered about missing out tbh

Doing a few of my own things this weekend, because Im fucking fantastic at this shit Bacon & beef burgers (basically 50/50 shredded bacon and minced beef with garlic, egg, pepper Sweet potato mash (sweet potato, crushed pecans, grass fed butter, coconut milk, cinnamon/cloves) Cookies using crushed almonds, eggs, dried fruit, coconut.

Actually getting good the more i get into it. Needs polish and the visuals are hardly pushing the boundaries like, but a good fps. Has an RPG element the way you level up and gain new abilities (double jump, throw knife, grenades etc).

Chile? I dont think so!

Got in on the Alpha and playing it (ps4) last night. Reminds me a little of Killzone though a bit easier. Need to see more of it. Controls like most fp shooters.

On the lookout for new stuff myself. Might grab watch dogs.

Ah was that where he went? He left us at 4pm in Brum as had to get to his next talk. Was he using his lap top and going through the pictures et ?

Was at a dinner in Birmingham yesterday with KK as the speaker. Guy who invited me knew I was a NUFC fan and put me on KKs table. First time I've met him properly so firstly, what a mild mannered, genuine, funny and generally good bloke! Spoke about all sorts with him and his football talk was excellent. Few things though (from what I can remember) in no real order and not much you havent heard already - Was pissed off with Tino being so lazy, though brilliant - Though Rob Lee was his best value signing, Shearer one of the best not just for his scoring, but on the field he would carry out instructions to the T, also highly rated Batty. - Commented how Ashley, Llambias, Pardew, Kinnear all part of the same gambling circle though didnt go as far to confirm or deny about the Pardew rumour - Mentioned how in private, Ashley talks to Pardew like a piece of shit - Had heard that Ashley is going through the process of selling the club and may have interest and will switch his focus to Rangers when done. Not a fact, just what he has heard. - Would jump back in to the club no bother if the support was there (from the boardroom) - Argued with John Hall and disagreed but they were always honest, it was the lack of honesty and trust he couldnt live with from the current lot. - Douglas was the main driver for nufc, more than John Hall, as he wanted to keep pushing to improve and not stop progress made - Really doesnt like Alex Ferguson or Wenger, only because they are two who never or seldom applaud opposition - Sold Andy Cole as he was crap in training, the board were scared to come out when KK did to talk to fans and Terry Mac was taking the piss as when KK said "trust me, I wouldnt do this without a plan" TM said "yeah you would" in his ear. (heard that before, funny though). Also jokingly went on to point out how much Andy Cole won after leaving. - Had to sack budgie for saying Pav was a coward (not coming to punch the ball etc) -

Bit of Diablo on the PC, really waiting for the console version in Aug though.

Happy birthday! Hope you had a good day fella

Oh aye, and me n wor Franco

Milan Derby 2014 by DarrelBirkett, on Flickr

In a nutshell. - Best player played against Maradonna - Agrees Uruguay likely strongest team in our group so one of Italy/England wont get out of group - Wipes sitting - Doesnt like how football is ran by money. Said when he was growing he would wake up and think football, play football, dream football, talk football. It was everything. Now the players think money, watches, cars and are not always focussed or care for the game 24/7.

Never really got answers to these when he was over here. BUT, I'm at the Milan derby this weekend (sorry Tom ), and meeting Franco the next day so Im hoping to "ask the hard questions". So far Im thinking: - any chance you and a few mates could buy nufc? - Do you sit or stand to wipe, or do a sliding tackle across your thick pile carpet?

Just leave on 60th but do it really slowly thereby also offering symbolism to the last home game for Shola.
