Really do not know what I am going to do!!

Is cancelling the solution?

cutting the nose to spite the face springs to mind when you are sports nutcases!!!

UMmmmmmm - dilemna time!!!

Nothing to do with the laughlingly termed "Entertainers" now not being in the promised land?

Who is their manager anyway? Is it Chris Hughton again or Joe Kinnear's nurse?

That reply is well out of order

Did you know Newcastle's keeper, the one who has been a reserve for 10 years, is on £55,000 a week?

Incredible. Is Newcastle the worst run club in football history.

Sacks Bobby Robson after finishing 3-5-4, because they lost their first 4 games of the new season.

Been down hill since.

Who is their first XI?

1 - Harper £55,000
2 - Beye £40,000
3 -
4 - Colicini £60,000
5 - Taylor £40,000
6 - Butt £50,000
7 - Barton £80,000
8 - Nolan £50,000
9 - Martin £50,000
10- Ameobi - £40,000
11- Duff - £60,000

They could get relegated again yet.

On a lighter note, when Football Manager 2010 comes out, I'll be Newcastle Utd first.

Leeds under Risdale rivals them.

The story about Seth Johnson is classic. His agent went in there hoping to get, at best, something like £13k a week.

Risdale opens negotiations.

"I'm sorry, but I can't offer you anymore than £30k a week."
Johnson and agent exchange a glance before the agent calmly says, "No."
"OK then, £37k but that really is my last offer."

Living the dream!

Payne,

You elitsit skinny little yorkshire ****!!!

I feel better now!!

Lets get back to boxing - please please and please otherwise I will go into a rant how the ****s havn't even bothered with a significant reduction on their season tickets despite relegation.

less of the skinny and little.

Hagler will tell you I'm a big lad.

Why did you have to bring up the football sh*t - seriously you reminded me about the season tickets - have complained like f*ck about the mere 9% reduction!!! - and if you go onto the site they are still eluding to we are playing Manchester United, Liverpool etc etc - what a bunch of unprofessional ****s!!!

See what I mean Payne you have sh*t stirred and now the rants will start!!!

Lets get back to this thread:

Basic question for everyone - yes or no - is Sky worth the money when everything is considered - not just the sport everything you get for the monthly fee - I am interested in the replies!!!

SKY isn't worth the money because I'm a boxing fan first a football fan second.

And they treat their viewers like knuckle dragging idiots.

I've started a season as Newcastle manager, its July 2009, so far I've bought Nick Montgomery and Ferrie Bodde in order that I might shift Butt and Barton on, Diarra simply wouldn't sign.

My next targets are Sol Campbell

Ahh theres another question and its a difficult one:

Boxing or football - can people be honest about it?

That is absolutely, jaw-droppingly staggering.

on a non sporting note apparently sky have been ordered to give a quarter of their movie channels to freeview.

not a great gain i know but at least its spiting sky

and to the geordie fans on here do they actually PAY shola ameobi

they pay him a lot too.

**** off you w*nkers!!!

Tonights Bill (Tue 30 Jun 09) - is definitely swaying the scales towards me cancelling my subs - f*cking had enough of the ****s

The boxers try their best and I do not want to disrepect them in anyway.

but I pay my subs to Sky to be entertained - For one of the first times as a boxing fan I thought f*ck it - I cannot be arsed to watch this sh*t.

I am a sports buff, but it's insulting to get Sky for boxing WHATSOEVER.

Come on sky!!!

Surely being in a position of strength and having the monopoly with regards to showcasing boxing you can up the ante with regards to the standard of shows!!!

Tonights at best was p*ss poor!!!
