  1. Oh for the day I can utter the words "Nick no longer posts on toontastic"
  2. Now I cant be arsed to get involved in this thread but you can just turn your rotund, clueless arse round and fuck reet off.
  3. Too expensive. The wifes finished maternity and Im full time Dad so its only the evenings, but mainly weekends I can get out. Chucking all those Saturday double shifts is just too expensive. Is a fair enough answer, although dont take the missus and daughter and you'll find that theres few games these days on a Saturday afternoon and you'll be quids in.
  4. Hold on, can we come back to the OP? I thought you were getting a season ticket? you were all for it before the transfer window opened, going on about Team Positive and all that, then we buy "some quality" in your words and youve not got one?
  5. cheapest way? walk Cheapest way thats either by car, bus, or train? You could get the megabus http://uk.megabus.com just checked it and its £8 each way, you could get the 23:15 on Friday night from London, Victoria Coach Station which gets you into Newastle at 05:40 on Saturday morning and then the 01:15 on Sunday morning getting into London at 07:30 two kips on the bus, no hotel stay and a whole day in Toon.
  6. All joking aside mind the general boycott thing is sensible, £57 to see any club is laughable, the fact its QPR makes it ridiculous. We'll still sell out though
  7. considering the shirt sponsorship deal was something like £6m then I cant see how any company in their right mind would pay more than 3 times that for the priviledge of having their name become an email address and a few signs erected in a ground. Shirt sponsorship has to be the most lucrative sponsorship deals going. Every image of the players, every time they appear on tv both home and away, thousands of people walking around the country with the name of your company in direct view of everyone that passes them, 7 days a week. Thats why I believe £20m was a non-existent attempt at selling the space and at the same time meant he could go to SD shareholders and say "we've got £20m of advertising for nowt" when in reality its probably worth 1 or 2m
  8. But he isnt forking out any money for us now, we break even remember?
  9. 1 out of 3 and no Im not predicting it which is a bad thing I suppose
  10. I think no matter what wording is used though, the players know that its irrelevant how well they play if the rest of the team arent upto scratch (thats not me dissing the new lads either). Im sure regardless of money thoughts, the likes of Enrique wont want the dubious pleasure of relegation twice. Id also think that your average player couldnt really give a monkeys how they are viewed by an ex-clubs fans so hes not going to care about your PR exercise. And to be fair, Id automatically go against him if you came on with the PR
  11. there never was any intent to sell the naming rights. It was simply a cover to gain the free space for SD.
  12. I know this is probably splitting hairs but he didnt actually state he wanted to finish his career here or proclaim undying loyalty. What he said was along the lines of "the fans are amazing I could stay here all my career" theres a difference there. He was specifically talking about the support not the club itself. Regardless of that though, times change, that statement was made (I believe) under Hughton and as someone said earlier maybe hes not happy with Pardew. And I dont think he offended the new players, he definitely didnt say that the signings were a waste of space.
  13. well that 10 minutes of my life I'll never get back
  14. Do it yourself, its really easy to do and loads cheaper. Also handy to pick up the basics so you can make changes. Per year costs; Domain name: £3 (.co.uk) or £5 (.com) Hosting: £20 (take ur pick, I'd go with a sticky'd provider) One-off Design: £20 (Theme Forest To tweak it just post in the help section there's loads of people that can help. or create a £25 job on vWorker Obviously I would disagree with that being someone who develops sites but it is one of the worst mistakes people make deciding to buidl their own site if they dont have any experience. Its not just about the look of the site, its the content, the way its structured, the links you use and how you go about marketing it. There really is nothing worse (aside from trapping your bollocks in a vice) than a home made website for a professional business. Hosting shouldnt be a case of the cheapest one, you need to take into account the requirements of the site, do you need Content Management? databases? how many visitors do you expect? is it hosted in the desired country etc etc. Do not just jump into making your own site, at least speak to someone you know about it.

    New Car

    You might as well just cut your bollocks off now
  16. Just to showcase the branding opportunity. Thats the thing, people were taken in by that whole bollocks at the time and they will be again. There was never any intention of selling the space off, it was always going to be Spurt Direct, just another lie to paint over the fact hes taking free advertising.
  17. Why do we need to have Newcastle United on the stand? is it in case we forget who we support?
  18. I dont think he said the lies were specific to his contract did he? and even if he was, how would you. me or anyone not connected to the negotiations know either way? One potential lie straight away though is the "made Enrique a fantastic offer", offering what hes on now at his stage of his career with the seasons hes had is not fantastic in any way, shape or form.
