I know, I was being facetious. Something was probably lost in translation. Liverpool probably offered less than the release clause and Shakhtar rejected.

Didn't you get one win from those three last season?

You think things are bad for you? I'm facing the prospect of Roberto Fucking Mancini being the coach of my national team

It's 5 years with an option for a 6th, but yes, I'd agree it's silly to so completely smash our wage structure like that. (55k a week was our top wage before we took Carroll & Joe Cole on loan). Unfortunately, that's what it took to sign Carroll. He didn't seem at all interested in staying on the 80k a week he was getting from Liverpool. Maybe if we had some other realistic targets to chase, or if so much of Sam's game plan wasn't based around utilising a player like Carroll, then we could have called his bluff and got him for less if no other offers transpired, but I'd guess that the manager wanted all this sorted as soon as possible.

I know this is certainly bullshit but thought I would post it anyway :lol
That would be delicious.

any relation to Derek Lambeze?
Time to find a new club to support. Fuck Newcastle.

Wouldn't be surprised if that played a big role in his resignation. His lap dancing name getting out to the public was just too much.

No, that's their last director of football.
Bit of a mug like Mike Ashley but he was probably the only guy in the club who knew how to say the right things, true or not. For Newcastle fans, that was like striking gold given the current era. :lol
I didn't mind him too much overall. I'd like to his intentions for the club were far more just than Mike and co but that's probably optimism speaking.
To lose him under these circumstances though. That's pretty horrific even by Newcastle standards. Joe Kinnear's the grim reaper.

has this ever happened before? I thought my team was'nt gonna make it to the world cup but now theres a slim chance
"Fifa has confirmed opening an investigation into the Ethiopian Football Association after they allegedly fielded an ineligible player in their World Cup qualifying campaign."
if theyre guilty they get docked three points and three goals which were handed to their opponent

Well, kind of, but not with the world cup.

That's IndyKalia stuff there. 50% chance of it happening.
The leak was real apparently!

Cardiff at home, Newcastle away and Stoke at home are the first three fixtures for West Ham. Not a bad start.
We've also got Arsenal on Boxing Day again, now let's hope there isn't a fecking Tube strike this time around.
Last game of the season's against City away :/

Avram will be caretaking by that stage.
Spurs fixtures are decent, big games are pretty spread out and the run in looks reasonable.
We've got the NLD on August 31st so Levy better not do his usual late shit. Squad needs to be fully ready this time, we've wasted our opening games in both the last two seasons and it's cost us.

They want a Moyes Out drama to start the season. Or maybe not. United had a tough start last season as well.
That NLD date sucks. Too close to our CL qualifier. Hopefully Higuain has already destroyed our opponent so he can then destroy Spurs!
Aston Villa first up for the chopping block!
17/08/2013 15:00 Arsenal (a)

31/08/2013 15:00 Chelsea (a)

Alrighty then.
On the downside, Chelsea could prove a challenge.
hmm bonus points. We play Liverpool sans Suarez which is a plus.
Lets hope you have your traditional slow start!
Our last game of the season could be a nail biter. Both Spurs and us looking for Champions League spots thats a six pointer

What a joke club Newcastle are looooooooooooool
Tough start for Arsenal. We'll have to start well if we want to win anything this season.

Dat animation. The next Elder Scrolls is gonna look hilarious, with the disparity between image quality & graphical sheen, and the janky animations/weightless combat
I'm gonna start a new account for party multiplayer since it seems my PS3 struggles to keep connected to the party. The PSN will be The_Hitcher89MkII, so add me pls. That goes for the lurkers as well
Also, add me dc89. Not that you're reading this anyway, you don't when you can post.

Next season, momentum will be incredibly important for the Top 4, and the title. And Arsenal seem to have been given the golden ticket in that department
Aside from the Spurs game date our draw is not bad. Hopefully the first game in our CL tie will be the away game.
It's only our CL qualifiers that concern me a bit but if the draw is kind and we can kill the game off in the first leg then it will be fine. How we recruit in terms of quality and depth will also play a huge part. I just pray no one leaves. Really hope Sagna and Kos stay with us.
Don't start that. Marriner was great to Bale in the match with Sunderland!
