    As I say misplaced negativity. The players are here and contributing. Someone has to sanction that. Particularly under the uncertainty of a takeover. People need to be more positive and get behind the club. Honestly it’s much more enjoyable.

    I think it’s only right to show PL only or it skews it. As shown by Hughton.

    Be interesting if you could show that buddy.

    That would involve me doing more work than a cut and paste mate. I have a chicken to buy, a workout to finish and some cans to drink.

    Agreed.

    The source of frustration though, is that we know how good Rafa is, and he's not being backed with enough money to sign players permanently.

    We have a world-class Manager at NUFC and the fact he's had to scratch out players on loan deals, is pretty embarrassing.

    It wouldn't surprise me if Slimani scores for fun once he gets fit. (If he ever does that is).

    As if anything anyone has to say would change his one-eyed wummery. Say it loud and sit back.

    Nicely done.
    3 teams out of 20 failed to sign a single permanent player in January. Us, Bournemouth and West Brom.
    Good to see you agree with Ashley about what 'our level' is. Excuse me if I disagree :)

    It’s makes no difference if they are permanent. It’s about having the best 25 man squad available. The one that keeps you up. Our management team look close to delivering that, I don’t see the problem? Our fans always find a way to moan

    If we go down Benitez has failed and if we stay up it's down to Ashley.

    In a competition to dig the biggest hole I'm not going to thank my boss for giving me a trowel when everyone else had a JCB. You can if you want.

    No it’s always a team effort. It takes directors, manager, coaches, players, supporters, tea lady, the whole lot.

    We have a squad which is good enough to stay up purchased in a sensible way. Some of those falling through the trap door this year may find themselves in serious strife financially after gambling irresponsibly. You may want that for our club but i don’t. We need to operate within our means, employ the right people and work together.
