  1. This is precisely why the people who spout the we should be grateful to Venky's line, need to have a serious look. Where we would be without them? Probably at home to Someone like Liverpool in the premier league with almost a full house.
  2. It does beggar belief really that the powers that be allow it. Maybe with hindsight at play, should Chelsea have been allowed to benefit from what now appears to be laundered Russian funds. Surely a line has to be drawn somewhere.
  3. I agree and I have to say when I saw then celebrating, I could not help myself wondering if it felt right to them or not, or if the are all turning a blind eye. Given who they were playing though, I guess it could have been labelled the blood thirst derby.
  4. I guess this article suggests that certainly some Newcastle fans ate bothered about who owns them and in my opinion, quite rightly so. Newcastle United’s Blood Money Takeover – The WIRe (wordpress.com)
  5. I do draw the line myself sometimes, hence me saying what I have about how would I feel if I was a Newcastle fan. It doesn't feel right to me, being funded, by a regime as bad as their owners, but if it was Rovers, I would find it hard to turn my back on a club, I have supported for over 50 years. I would definitely be bothered though, as there are limits on the integrity of certain practices.
  6. I guess it depends on what owners we want. Not too sure how I would feel if I was a Newcastle fan right now, as for me an an outsider, the ownership does not feel right.
  7. Arbitro will know, but I thought both hands have to be on the ball and have it under control
  8. I have a replay. Keeper did not have it under control
  9. Oh come on. He has had his best half of the season so far. Hardly put a foot wrong and been very lively,
  10. You are missing a decent game. I’m at a loss how people are saying we are poor. Apart from the finishing, we have been very good.
  11. I hope they all get thrown in jail.
  12. Once again, that figure contradicts an earlier reply, one of our posters on here got, as he was told a similar number to Walsall was expected. He has therefore by default knocked around 2,000 himself, so would love to know how he explains that one. I know Glen and also the trust have meeting with him in the not too distant future, so assuming they can take a copy of contradicting posts from here, he should have some explaining to do.
  13. He probably does and will drop it into his next comment about the bus. ”Had we got in who we wanted and not got rid of some, we would need a double decker”.
  14. That simply can’t carry on. I have never known us concede so many, over such a sustained period.
  15. Just look at the quote from JDT about the project having changed and it becomes pretty clear the O’Brien farce has a lot more to it than meets the eye.
  16. Exactly, so someone had to make sure it didn’t proceed. They think we are stupid.
  17. It is quite astounding really, that he is prepared to lie about the smaller irrelevant things. let's face it, would there have been any further comment made by most fans, if he had said we have leased a new bus? What it has done, is expose him even further for what he is and if he is prepared to lie about things like this, then who knows what he is spinning about the real issues. He hid the news about the sale of the attempt to sell Brockhall and if it was for the pesky fans, being on the ball, who knows, what would have happened there. Despite GB facing the fans, I suspect last January's fiasco had his prints all over it, as it certainly bears all the hallmarks of either sheer incompetence at best, or even deliberate sabotage.
  18. First wife died due to Alcohol abuse. Horrible way to live her life and die. It’s an illness is addiction and very trying for the families of people who are addicts.
  19. Fair point. We did okay away there, so the same goes here.
  20. Let’s do this. They may be top of the league, but as we have seen many times before, that counts for nothing at kick off. As usual, the first goal will be crucial and I see us starting in the same way we have started recently, so just need to turn it into an early goal. COYB.
  21. So website down earlier in the week and now the phone lines are down. Nothing to see here perhaps!!!
  22. Go for it Glen. I know you won’t hold back, so even showing him the latest farce with the real cost of closing the Blackburn end, should provoke an interesting debate. Based on the two replies pasted on here, his estimate of the crowd dropped by 2,000 roughy in the space of 24 hours. No one at present knows what the saving was, but assuming a minimum drop off of 2,000 fans, it has surely cost money overall, not to mention the bad feeling it aroused.
  23. I read a very similar story from Ken Anderson, when he owned Bolton and that all came tumbling down in the end. I do not trust owners like this and I think Anderson did end up making a tidy sum in the end, for his involvement with them.
  24. Probably. I used it, as it is a part of the ground I knew, but that said, if the tickets are on sale or no return, Waggott will probably close it, based on the number we last took to Chelsea for a cup time.
