They want £12 mill for a player in the last year of his contract:

Didnt we finish 3 places below where we were on the 1st of Feb though?...that means ££££££££££s to Ashley..

http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/transfer-news-newcaslte-pull-out-of-the-hunt-for-lyon-striker-bafetimbi-gomis-8736401.html Sounds like the deal will be done if ours is the highest bid on 31st August.

and who's favourite to be appointed the next manager of NUFC?

Where's Ben Arfa? Ben & Jerrys?.....

Funny feeling this one isnt down to Wenger....maybe after all the shit in the press about "6/7/8 years without a trophy" his employers have pulled rank on him and undermined the bloke with this one. Could be the beginning of the end for him at AFC. Some people are never satisfied.

Try telling Ashley. I actually agree with him, hes not worth 8mill regardless of the time left on his contract iyam. But I'd be very surprised if theyve got an alternative target.

Theres one year left on his contract, see the Debuchy deal last year. Ashley in the past has been praised for walking away if the deal isnt to his liking. With a year to go on his contract he's worth nowhere nearly 8mill iyam. Trouble is there is almost certainly no alternative target and either he'll go to one of the other clubs in for him or we may get him in January. Thats the Ashley way.

Films out soon

And thats before we've sold Cabaye. Ashley could have his money back by the end of next season at this rate though

Seen them both in the last couple of years mate, who says I live in the past?

Sounds like Debuchy all over again, and tbf there was praise from some quarters about not being held to ransome.

Having said that, using the courts to hush it up is bang out of order, hang the cunt...

"wealthy and powerful aristocat seeks to gain influence"...its not really story of the century iyam..he wants things done his way in what he no doubt considers to be his country. Does it matter that much?..its not exactly a crime against humanity...

Think we can expect a new book about how to boil an egg from Delia considering the amount of cash NCFC are splashing out on their strike force... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23450297 Perhaps Joe can bring Grant Holt in on loan? :/

When did Pardew say he wanted 2 up front?...

I largely agree with what NJS and Renton say but I fail to see what you can do about it. Do away with all forms of inherited wealth or just for posh rich folk? Life is blatantly and often tragically unfair for billions of people on the planet, in the big scheme of things and particularly in this country, its not that much of an injustice. Parky, the best land in Scotland is the Tweed valley and its pretty much owned by the Dukes of Roxburghe and Buccleuch. The Forestry Commision is the largest landowner overall.

Never going to happen...your hopes will be realised, as you say he has a finger in a lot of pies and lobbies Westminster to get his "vision" for the country at least on the agenda, the fuckin old hippy. Thing is his sons are hugely popular. You'll have to strike before he croaks it. Diana was treated appallingly to begin with, but when she learnt the game she was as bad as the rest of them.

Youve said this before...can you explain how this may work? Is he any more corrupt or power hungry than anyone in Westminster?..fair enough we cant vote him out but him and his family are a small part of the big picture iyam.

"zut alors"

To be honest, iyam all thats about how you feel about yourself to large extent. There are people in life I respect enormously, but in a very modest way I dont really feel inferior to anyone and laugh at those with delusions of grandeur, or actual grandeur itself. Am sure almost all of us are the same, so am not sure why you feel strongly about it. I'm lucky emough to have good relations with my now fairly elderly parents, and as long as I have their love, respect and support then I couldnt give a fuck what anyone else thinks. The Duke of Roxburghe virtually owns the village I was brought up in and often mixes with the plebs, attends christmas do's, funerals of his tenants etc and is considered a good egg. Cunt still expects to be called "your grace" mind, so I dont speak to the fucker. He doesnt bother with me so I dont bother with him.
