Am in two minds, one says you're right and it'll make a sale more likely, the other says why would he sell a self financing cash cow and lose all that free advertising into the bargain? Doesn't make sense, but the barrowboy/gambler in him is desperate to get Rangers too by the looks of it.

There was an article in the mag saying that between the last set of books and the next set he'll have made roughly a million pound a week out of NUFC. I that's anywhere near accurate you'd imagine hes going nowhere..

Was everyone sick of the Catholics of Jamestown and Maryland too?....

Thats what I thought.....selling club?

What do the twatterati say?

Apparently Gomis agents say we've made an offer to Swansea for him?..

The United States came into being because of people like you Gloom, think about that the next time you a chuck pigs head through a mosque window...

I see folk are really struggling to have anything properly bad to say about them or the city Sound like a job for @@McFaul

This is what apparently passes for humour on the south coast.... http://www.fansnetwork.co.uk/football/southampton/news/37530/? More significantly they're without Schneiderlain, Wayama, Alderweilde, Yoshida (Asian Cup) and Mane (ACN)

Hes up in front of the sfa tomorrow for trying to increase his shareholding, which is a strange thing to have been doing if all he's interested in is hiring the club out. Am not saying you're wrong, but there may be a bit more to it. Owning rangers at the moment is a deal, a bargain that his inner barrowboy can't resist.

Hmmm...paying 20million to try to stay in the division?...they'll probably see if as good value if he gets 10 goals or so...

Underworld at the sage in March......then..... http://www.bigweekends.com/splash-pages/shiiine-weekender.aspx

Sanogo to Palace on loan.....how long till he's Pardewed? Or is he partially Pardewed already?

Shite man...this is a free kick

Aye, runs RvP close...bit of the "Hatem v Blackburn" about it though, didnt get anywhere near the credit it deserved..

Hes too good to be true and it's frankly astounding after some of the fuckers we've had and been linked with that were even talking to him. I'd wait till the summer if need be..

Fifa goal of the year... http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/30786318 The only goal I think I've seen to compare with RvPs was Houchen for Cov in the 87 cup but that was from a cross from the right. Diving headers are incredibly rare nowadays. Hammes? obviously brilliant, but not even the second best goal at the world cup, Cahill gets that for me. The Irish girls goal was great too.....but can you really compare a ladies match in a footballing backwater to the world cup finals?... Just for the sheer rarity value Van Persie's diving header is just about the best goal of the decade for me

What's the s.p. on him?.....I take it he's as turboshit as rumored?..

Typically subtle comments here from a cloggie... http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/charlie-hebdo-mayor-rotterdam-tells-4970496?ICID=FB_mirror_main

I think Lovenkrands generally comes over quite well but it shows just how sheltered footballers' lives are. Am not sure if he or many others would be familiar with the phrase "zero hours contract"...

Is Ashley waiting not only for the transfer window to close, but possibly more significantly the season ticket renewal deadline to pass before he tells Carver just to carry on as he has been?...

"Stability" It's the route to success you know.....it took Sir Alex Ferguson 4 years to win a trophy at Manu....but he was actually fuckin trying to do so...

If Carver was nailed in he'd have it by now. I imagine they're keen on Grade, but I also imagine they're less keen on paying compo to Lyon for anyone he may want to bring with him. And I expect Garde is less than enthused about being asked to use someone else's staff. Everyone else on the alleged short list is either working or not available till the summer or both. So it'll probably be Carver

Trying to shame his board into buying some decent players
