exactly Well I must be a mug then, because to me, ok, it's a name to a venue or location, but at the end of the day what do you KNOW the place as ? I'm from Crewe, South Cheshire, our local team played at Gresty Road, now the 'Alexandra Stadium', but to me it will always be 'Gresty Road' and nothing else as will SJP. Perhaps the way to go would have been to call it 'SJP sponsored by xyz', thus keeping all parties happy, but you could imagine radio 5 saying that, 'Over to SJP ....' Some how I don't think so. It comes down to money, and if some one says 'Over to SDA', then that will be picked up by listeners, and then they go to the website, spend money, which goes to Ashley and hopefully in to Newcastle.(Wild howls of derision heard from the baying mob.) because at the end of the day it all boils down to money. The problem being, there's no fucking money- it's a freebie for SD

exactly I will add there are many others apart from me LM and PP who were against Ashley, wasn't thinking straight before anyone gets emotional.

Maybe we should rename the board " Big, Bouncy And Busty" for two years, as an example to potential sponsors of the benefits they can reap?

People still wouldn't be happy but they'd be less pissed off if it was named after the SBR Foundation for a couple of years. Maybe this should be the thrust of any protest against this? By naming it after SBR Foundation, it would be measurable how much extra income was generated for them. Well if there's no income coming in yet and they truly want to showcase the brand, why not brand it the SBF Arena until they so-called big bucks appear? It'd be far more palletable to the fans and it would prove that it isn't their intentions to simply use it to showcase the SD brand in another place. Some of the journos need to put this to them. Seriously..... Tom, you have a journo contact don't you? get busy mate

What standards are being diluted? When have England ever worn the poppy on the shirt? you can answer the complete post if you like, then go back to the Guardian or whatever other student rag you read. Answer the question. He doesn't answer questions man, that would spoil the 'man of mystery' legend he has imagined for himself. * goes back to hugging tree whilst swigging meths from a bottle wrapped in Amnesty International Magazine*

This Seems in the heat of "debate", it's being forgotten that they have already changed the name, it's done, a fait accompli, and I 'll bet my house we aren't getting £10 million from SD for it. We are stuck with this cunt until he sells or dies from obesity , and now we have lost our stadium name.

Will they make the stadium announcer use their new name? I can see that going down well.

Chez, re your point at the end. I think you're right that it won't revert back to SJP, no company is going to pay to NOT have the stadium named, but right now, I'd be over the moon if someone came in and took the deal, if it meant we didn't have the SD brand plastered everywhere. There's also nothing to stop a company putting the SJP back into the name - The Northern Rock St. James Park is a million times more palatable than SD Arena.

That went well then.

I wonder if the Fat Cunt will have the audacity to auction of the SJP sign, like he tried with the East Stand. How did that auction go btw, anyone know?

Why can't we have both? Do you honestly believe ,Chez, that a single penny of this, so far, non existent £10million will make it's way to the transfer kitty?

Remember when he bleated on about being unable to take his family to the game because he feared for their safety? I hope the cunt's got plenty security booked… Whilst I'm fucking seething , it's not a total surprise when you look at what's happened over recent months - the changing of the East Stand signs, the defacing of the outside of the Milburn & Gallowgate, the Gallowgate roof etc. Just in case anyone had any doubt about his contempt for us, he's made it absolutely crystal clear now. And Stevie, you're the only one on here who has hasn't softened their attitude to him? …Really? Pipe down man

Surprised she didn't winkle it out of him, guess he must have clammed up Due to loss of mussel, walks with a limpet now , and as a result lived as a hermit.

We need the verdict of Billy Big Cock.

Peroxide blonde moment?

Are you suggesting ,CT, there's such a thing as a pleasant raping? Typical cabbie

Shane? fixed

If Fop comes back its

Ferguson speaks to the Beeb again, CT de-flounces. All is well in the world.

Okay, tried sitting on my hands and chanting dont do it, dont do it. ......but I'll bite. My point about Ben Arfa was as follows. This was his big move, his chance to prove to all his detractors that he could still do it and do it consistently without all the bad boy antics. Obviously it hasnt gone well, he's had a year out and is struggling to break into a team that is doing very well. The scenario I was discussing was whether he would be happy, (given his ego and the ticking clock, point to prove etc ) spending the season as a bit part player. Or whether frustration would set in and he would engineer a move away, initially on loan, as he did to get here. A simple point that even a simpleton such as yourself should have been able to grapple with. With regard to Jonas, he's brilliant if you like having two left backs (which has been handy at times), but his attacking game has all but dried up, leaving the burden on Obertan's shoulders. His work rate is magnificent but he needs to get forward. If Pardew can somehow get him doing both (and we have end product , the he will be a great addition to the team. Aaaah, thats better. I guess I shouldn't reply, we'll end up with a cringeworthy thread like that one over at NO, but what the hell... "Obviously it hasnt gone well", WTF do you mean? He was great when he came here, then he broke his leg ffs! He's getting better and better, has shown some good stuff already. He's a unique player at this club, we have a lot of hard working players, Ben Arfa has the potential to be the icing on the cake. Our squad is paper-thin, sending out our most skillful player on loan, aye that's a good idea... I take it reading is a problem for you Reading is not the problem with many posters on here. It is more an issue with comprehension. CT is Leazes!! Argh!

I need an Orange Liqueur for it, hoping i can buy a miniature bottle of Cointreau! here you go..
