Christmas Tree

The Ashley haters of course wont see wise management or greedy players, will they? and the Ashley lovers are right behind his target of ridding the game of all greedy players single handed Another "founded by Leazes" myth and the "Ashley haters", founded by CT, is alright because you agree with it ? Shame that you will soon realise how wrong and blind you have been, along with all those other knackers on skunkers, but I bet you will all find another excuse to avoid admitting spouting bullshit. When exactly Leazes? Put a date on it and then Happy can stick it in his prediction thingy.

I "think" he still has a years contract to go so normally couldnt start looking for a new club until Jan. They are letting / hoping he'll get on and do it now instead.

It seems unlikely that a move to one of the top six will come off for Barton or Nolan. That leaves other mid table also rans willing to splash transfer fees, big wages and long term contracts on two blokes hitting 30. Not many chairmen going to sanction that. Not to say they wont be wanted or it wont happen, just a big risk financially for mid table clubs, never mind fat sam.

Halfway there Paul, just need the West Ham bit confirmed to be a fully fledged ITK

With that, he mounted his stallion and rode off into a warm, gorgeous sunset. That's a history re-write / lazy journalism to neatly fit into the current situation though. The press at the time of the relegation season / post Aldershot (sic) / after we'd got promoted all listed the 'player committee' as being Nolan, Smith, Butt and Harper. Barton was never mentioned then due to his uncertain future at the club and peripheral involvement during that season. Find a contemporaneous report from that season listing Barton as one of them. You won't find one. Even less reason to keep him or worry about dismantling the 'spirit' then? I'm merely highlighting an inaccuracy tbf. Which is all I've done in this thread. Perhaps you should be telling that to CT. He's the one who recently claimed Barton was the most important player at the club by a 'country mile' http://www.toontastic.net/board/index.php?...mp;#entry861850 And still thinks he is

Is he? read somewhere last night that they wanted him and Hughton as his assistant. Also read Hughtons down to the last two for the Cardiff job?

I would like both players around for a little bit longer, but in two years time I would rather they were gone and their 40,50,60 grand wages were being used on better players.

But it wasnt over just yet. As he kicked open the saloon doors, he noticed Alex, desperately clinging to his lower leg. He turned, grabbed him by the scruff of the collar and and thrust his face towards the latest tweet from Chief Sports writer for the North East, Mark Douglas. With that, he mounted his stallion and rode off into a warm, gorgeous sunset.

Some are In The Know.....and some just Know. And with that CT left the thread, huge cigar hanging on his lip, chick on his arm, with Team Nasty seething in his wake.

Move over Caulkin

The Ashley haters of course wont see wise management or greedy players, will they?

Fuck me right again Get another notch on that board Mr ChezGiven. Once again, CT discussing the relevant points of the day and setting the media agenda while Team Nasty snipes from the sidelines.

Magpies quoted £12m for Charles N'Zogbia

As was mine dear boy, as was mine. (Not that many new readers will ever dip their toes in the posting waters of this board for fear of Team Nasty).

If we wernt all so engrossed in football we would pause and reflect on the obscenity of £50,000 a week

I resent the insinuation here. Not speaking for anyone else but I don't think I've been the least bit nasty about anything. I've not called you any names or misrepresented you. I've not come after you as you quietly go about your business posting on football matters. I try not to do that with Polish Nick, or Kevin or Besty or any of the others that invite a bit 'banter' onto themselves. You've been harping on about being right about anything and everything that you blatantly flip-flopped on and you've been bragging about the classic games you've gone to. All I've done is call you out on your own braggadocio. Well then best not to Mis-quote me. You still havent posted the link btw to where I say I never liked Hughton? I happily admit to a bad memory but I still dont recall saying that. Sure you'll post it now though and clear it up for me. I wouldn't suggest you've "never" like Hughton. But you did bonny lad, you did I'll take your lack of a link as an admission of an error on your part. Im a forgiving soul so no worries.

Your a funny one Tecato! Moan at me for posting stories from the sun and then post your own stories from the news of the world..... Good luck with this thread btw.

Not according to the head of the IMF http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/Business/...ion%2C_Says_IMF

ok, I'm not having a go at you CT, genuinely. This Cwarr07 character is a joke; he tweeted there would be no Gervinho news, then his very next tweet, 20 minutes later states he has signed, and then that news should be expected "later in the week" he contradicts himself within 20 minutes. Most probably is and if Gervinho isnt announced by the club this week (as he has predicted many times), then Im assume his account will close quite quickly. However he did call the Enrique talks were taking place before anyone else. Twitter has taken ITK's to a whole new level.

Agreed a five year contract. Fee £1 mill according to the Twitter ITK Cwarr07

Just experiment and don't get too downtrodden. I love mince & dumplings, although I couldn't imagine having them in June. As I said, I enjoyed them. Familys been dragged up on that Atora dumpling mix. Re Mince and dumplings in June, basically just test driving the new slow cooker but its still nice to have a good hearty meal whatever the season imo.

Transfer to NUFC due to be announced officially before the weekend, according to Caulkin / Times.

We will be in the top 6 by Christmas. We will be winning rave reviews for our style of play from the media. We will be top goals scorers in the league by Christmas. As we finish runners up to Manchester United, Peasepud will predict our forthcoming doom.

Dumplings were a disaster. I enjoyed them but family thought they were too herby.....??????
