Jackies the Lad

AND if we are not sold before January, let's see how many players Ashley will try to cash in. The squad will be in danger of crashing into the Championship!

At least, he was poor on Saturday even before he was crocked! Along with the rest of the team that started.

I got my membership card, no 268, so they have at least 268 members all paid up. No recent updates on the website, has anybody heard if they've had a response from NUFC regarding the letter they sent? Gone very quiet!

Just move on, I'm used to it after 50 years.

If he is fit he should be in the team, not on the bench, JFK is insane, Owen does score goals and creates more chances than Shola ever could. We just have to make sure that Owen is playing for us as long as we have got him. He will be off as soon as he can.

Tactically inept, he might be able to make the dressing room feel better, but when we conceded the third corner in a row at the gallowgate end, the players were all arguing with each other, good team spirit that. Overall performance, we were basically crap.

After 50 years of supporting them there are many to name, but we tend to put it to the back of our mind and think of the future, just one win, just one piece of silverware and we'd be happy, we would celebrate and live off the silverware trophy for many a year. I am, I am proud to have seen NUFC win something in my lifetime, something a vast number of our fans have not and can only look forward to the day we do. To answer the question of the post, I have to say it was yesterday because I went to the game optomistic that we would win, and then once again saw the team selection and who was on the bench. Quite frankly JFK just does not cut it for me. I now am expecting the worst for the rest of this season as I do not expect a new buyer to step up to the plate and take over NUFC.

They will all be still here at the end of the season, I have never been so fed up of watching NUFC since the 80's and this lot are certainly the worst ever, why don't they just all sod off, I HATE them all for what they are doing to my club.

Fill your boots with these 2 rich guys.

So who are the mystery bidders? Is Harris yet another bullshitter like Ashley? Will we be sold this season or sometime never?

IMO every time we see Cacapa play the defence looks shakey, Cacapa is slow and useless in the tackle and can't seem to pass his way out of trouble. In a nutshell........ Cacrapa!

I agree I also think he would be crazy to take on the job of manager. He currently has "legend" "hero" status bestowed on him by the Toon Army, there is no guarantee that Shearer will be successful, what if he totally makes a bollocks of the job? Would his status disappear, how would the Toon Army react? Badly I suspect!

You mean you were happy with his honesty when you were agreeing with what he said, now he's dare to cast doubt that poor king Kev isn't the big victim that some like to think you don't want to hear it. I hope these statements do come out and can't wait to see the reaction from the mongs who blindly back Keegan without knowing whats gone on if it does turn out that he's to blame for a lot of it. Personally I've never agreed nor disagreed or even believed any of the shite that either KK or the clowns currently running our club have spouted in recent months. I certainly do not think KK is the victim in any of this, the fans and the club are the victim, and as far as anything coming out and who is really to blame, the buck stops in one place as far as I'm concerned, the man running the show, the man with the purse strings. The only man who can finally say yes or no to decisions is Mike Ashley. He is the guy to blame, but no doubt there were a lot of contributing factors to what went wrong. Even when the statements do hit the media, coming from Ashley's front man, well all i can say is.....................I BELIEVE....................NOT!

Are we to believe any of this trash, which is nothing more than yet another package of information suitably fed to us by Kinnear, Ashleys mouthpiece? Why doesn't Ashley come out and make his own statements? Kinnear could tell us lots of things................ I'm sure he could, but how playground is this statement, FFS grow up Kinnear and make your own words, this just illustrates Ashleys management style and the flaws KK identified when it all blew up in Ashleys face. Quite frankly I care less what JFK thinks and even less about Ashley. I do not think that KK is blameless and I guess all will be revealed. The question I would ask is, even when it all comes out, who will you believe? Kinnear suggests we are making assumptions............... how true, of course we are, like mushrooms we have been kept in the dark and fed a load of shite, comeon Kinnear wake up, if the only communication is coming via yourself, WTF do you expect. Even though we have all made assumptions the FACT remains that our club is rapidly being demolished by a small number of irresponsible and incompetents. Mike Ashley will be accepted.................... maybe by some but I think this has gone too far, where is the trust? I personally will never forgive, forget and my boycott of everything Ashley will last as long as I live, even when he leaves TOON I will continue to boycott the man and everything he stands for. He has thrown us into more turmoil than this club has ever known and made us the laughing stock of the footballing nation. That in my opinion is unforgivable. Kinnear is telling us, but I don’t know what the man has done................. I can't believe that this guy can be so naive, no he is not, it's just more trash that the guy is putting out on behalf of Ashley. Statements like this anger me even more, just keep it zipped. JFK suggests that he could make his peace with the fans.................. beyond repair IMO. Where have we heard the likes of "dispense with £5.7m Xisco and Ignacio Gonzalez" and "open negotiations with Michael Owen" and T"he club has to keep Michael Owen and players like him" His views are remarkably similar to KK, could all of this shit been avoided, MAYBE but it would have needed someone at the helm who knows what he was doing. ILL ADVISED Mr Ashley, you listened to the wrong advice. NO, there is NO WAY BACK for Mike Ashley.

Zog would have been a better option, we are better at defending when we were going forward, like in the first half. Totally lost our way defending too deep with players that were clearly not up to the job. Jeremiah is good statistically, assists etc but he is like a fecking cart-horse slow. Jonas ran himself ragged in the first half and he needed to be replaced but the structure collapsed in the second half.

Sadly I think you're right, I'd rather have a back line of Beye, Colo, Bassong and Enrique tbh. Taylor made Bramble look shite, Taylor believes and spouts off that he is good! Yet he dominates and retains his place in the England U21 Team, why?? Is he that good, do they see something that we can't or even don't want to?

More long ball shite to the target man Ameobi, this is a must win says JFK!

Got to be a load of bollocks, offer subject to dd is the usual?

crap tactics long ball and waiting to see if................ actually cost us the game. Bench was better than some we started with.

If they admit it was wrong decision then he should've stayed on and never been a penalty. On that basis we should have 2 more points!

Take a break from laughing at Tottenham Are you desperately trying to steer clear of the punditry and find something to watch at half-time in tonight’s Spurs game? Then tune in to Sky News (Sky Channel 501, Freeview Channel 82) to see The Spoiler’s Ryan Bailey debate whether Joey Barton deserves to be given yet another chance.

The rumour was running around on Monday night. There was to be an announcement later that evening, I wonder if this is just an extension and expansion of what was started before the game on Monday. Elaborate rumour, I hope not, and finally we rid the Toon of Cashley and Co.

I'd like to be sure we can play Beye. Hearing today???

I agree he will mess up again and again, I am totally amazed that he has been given so many chances. I wonder how much this is the Cashley idea to put the guy up for one major fall. Cashley and his team wanted shot of Barton whilst KK wanted to give Barton a chance, is this Cashley having another go at KK?

By Steve Goldstein Last update: 4:49 a.m. EDT Oct. 23, 2008 LONDON (MarketWatch) -- Zabeel Investments has pulled out of talks to buy British soccer club Charlton Athletic to focus on domestic opportunities in Dubai, according to a statement released by the club. The current debate around foreign ownership of football clubs and the worsening economic climate in the U.K. also contributed to the decision to pull out, the club said. Zabeel Investments told the team it has no current intention to acquire any English football club for the foreseeable future.
