A decade or two ago, I remember hearing that a mad Toon supporter named their daughter Beardsley St James Park (Park was the family's surname). Can't for the life of me find anything about it on the...

Yeah, it wasn't a criticism on my behalf, merely interesting to note. Rafa's favoured playstyle is cautious, refined and relies on intelligent counterattacking - obviously I'd love it if we had the...

We currently have the 4th lowest possession stats (40.8%) over the season so far, and 3rd lowest for home games (38%). We actually have more possession away from home than at home (43.5%)!

Yet more completely unverifiable speculation with no facts to back it up (not just Pboro, but all the speculation regarding how many targets Rafa identified).

Here it is. Notice all the players we were told would have no future at the club and be mercilessly left out if they didn't find new clubs are still there, e.g. Colback. We ended up so short on...

We don't disclose our transfer fees under Ashley's regime, so it's all speculation. None of the prices we see bandied about are official. None of us know how much we actually spend on players, or if...

Says who? The Sun? The Star? Lee Ryder? They all make it up as they go along to get clicks or sell papers.

One thing I've noticed in recent years is that Ashley's regime is a very tight ship,...

Saw this article too and came on here to post about it. Totally agree with what you wrote! The list is an utter joke. Bassong? Guthrie... feck me!!

Because he lies, reneges on his promises, complains about being poor whilst dropping thousands on boozy nights out, and is a poor gambler when it comes to NUFC. He makes lofty promises when it suits...

Even if all that were true, Ashley should still have stuck his fat paw in his pocket and bought us a few more players to protect his investment. Staying in the premier league is worth so much to us...

Can't believe that it was actually worse in the end than I predicted, and I was being wilfully pessimistic due to the way past deadline days under Ashley have gone :( At least we didn't sell Gayle...

1/10. Absolute disgrace. The only positives are that Riviere has gone and the players we did bring in are decent lads. However, this is massively outweighed by the fact that we simply do not have the...

Whilst I think Rafa was right to take up the honour of attending, I do think the timing of that elite manager conference in Switzerland really sucked. Couldn't they have left it til after the window...

Yeah, I was aware that individual users can't see each other's e-mails. That's strange that mods can't either. This is the only forum I discuss football on and the password the site supplied to me in...

Conflicting reports today. Some say we've decided to keep him, others that he's still off on loan to Benevento with us paying some of his wages. Given our lack of options at left back, it all seems...

The SUN are claiming Fulham have upped their bid to £18m now. Of course they're a total rag and spout total bull most of the time, but if that's true I'd definitely take that for him - but only if we...

As the smiley face should have indicated, I was just trying to make light of what is a pretty stupid and childish thing for someone to do, especially if they're a mod. To be fair, if you look back...

You're already there mate, I've seen the photos of you dressed up in Myleene's skimpy underwear!

Can also be used to predict real players' transfers!

Did you know that Dwight Gayle is off to Spartak Moscow after his release clause was triggered?

And Mitro is allegedly undergoing a medical...

Yesterday a magpie became a canary and today I saw one turn into a seagull! Oh wait... wrong thread again ;)

That's a bit mean! There's no need to be so Krul about him! ;)

Eh. To me, the concept of 'purples' meant a core of top quality, experienced, PL-proven players whose names wouldn't leave the team sheet, bar injury or suspension. In the past this would've been the...

Several of you list Merino. He does look good, but we've only seen him play a few games! Hardly a 'purple' in the way our established star players were in the past. However, one thing I'll say is...

Hmm... so one possible end to the window might be Gayle is sold, Rafa quits and we bring in Kuqi as player-manager! :-D

Better than the women of Sunderland do :-)
