I don't know, I think looking back at how Manc USA started last season, didn't they lose there first few games, better to get them at Old Trafford now than half way through the season when they've started to gel, same as Arsenil, our 3rd game

Thats got to be 2 of the hardest games to play, Manc USA @ Old Trafford & Arsenil @ Emirates, we have them both in the first few weeks, we might get something

Noticed that King Kev at the Victoria Ground felt the need to emphasize that they ie NUFC would be doing their training locally, unlike their neighbours.
Well There You Are Then

Hi John,

Where you been mate, you only come one when the TOON lose is is

Smurf, see Julio Arca was carried off at Hibs.

Yes Smurf, we beat Hartlepool 4-1 where you could only scrap a dying seconds draw with York pre-seasons are played to give the manager a look at what he should expect during the season, so I'd be worried if I was you mate

All I can say & it may sound like an excuse but we only had Smith as a striking option last night

Owen, Martins, Ameobi, Viduka, Carrol are all injured, so we've not been putting any goals in with the so called striker Smith, so losing 1-0 against european teams ins't that bad & no I'm not worried, especially if Ashley sells to Anil Ambani, who says he's give us £150m to sepend on transfers

Right in reply.

Your points about the Spurs baord are totally correct, the difference is we never made ourselves out to be any different from other clubs. You were the one banging on about being owned by a British Billionaire (now multi Millionaire). From my perspective and I am sure this would apply to fans of Chelsea, Villa and the rest, it is just moeny, where it comes from is incidental. You had to make a big thing about it being British money.
Yes it was British Money but he's not spending it on player as we were told he would, btw, he's still a Billionaire, well according to Forbes, he's got $2.45billion

You are right Ashley has paid off the club debts. these are the debts he didn't find when his team were checking the books when he was buying the club. Surely if his team had gone through the due dilliegence process properly he would have found them, so he has no one to blame but himself for that fiasco. And certainly shouldn't be credited for doing this.
I'll think you'll find he brough Halls shares before doing the due dilligence stuff, which I find hard to believe myself but that deal went through too quickly for it not to have happened & if his guys did chekc the books, then I'd have had them sacked for missing a £80 million debt wouldn't you

Are you saying it is OK for him to sell the club and make a bit of profit from his time in charge at Newcastle? If that is the case why was it not Ok for the Halls and FFS to do the same. At least when they were in control you had full grounds and managed to get into the Champions league. Surely they deserve to be able to make some money from the club more than Ashley who has only been there 5 minutes.
Both Hall & FFS were taking money out of SJP all the time & the only money they put in was money they loaned off banks, so no they shouldn't have made a profit in my book Ashley on the other hand has paid off all the debt that Hall & FFS got us into, so why shouldn't he get something in return, even if it's only a few millions profit

If he does sell it is likely you will get loads of money to spend, I honestly have no issues with that. I was glad when Chelsea broke up the Man Utd/Arsenal monoply of the league. It makes for better football when more teams are in with a chance. I do however think your last comment on this point was made firmly with your tongue in your cheek. Even you can't be silly enough to start bragging about what The Toon will do, who they will sign and what they will win, before the new bloke is in charge, have you not learnt anything from the way Ashley has done business in Newcastle. These folks do not get to be mega rich by just splashing money on any johnny foreigner. And don't forget just because they offer them the money doesn't mean they will come to Newcastle, especially when the more fashionable clubs like Spurs are also after them.
Yes it was tongue in cheek mate, but tell me this, do you really think Adebayor stayed with Arsenil because they asked him too, nope, they doubled his wages, Ranoldo wants to go to Madrid because they offering him £250k a weeks, Chimbonda went to the Mackems because they offered him more than other clubs, get real BooBoo, money talks, it always does, so if this Anil gets the TOON & give KK a £150m warchest, do you think he won't get the players he wants

I think the story Gary was referring too was aimed at the supporters of clubs not where those supporters come from. After all you are Toon supporter and even with your new hair cut you don't look as daft as most of the neanderthals who frequent Sid James Park on a saturday.
i know he was mate, I was just winding him up, that's all

John

Apparently now, all the crap-loids are saying that Anil Ambani has denied any correspondence with Ashley about buy the TOON, even tho it's on his wikipedia profile, so if this is just another crap-loid wind up, then it's got the wikipedia people as well, as normally they don't put anything on there pages unless it's accurate
