What are you on about. Aside from the ticket tax (which i may have mentioned) and not sacking Pardew earlier i've got no complaints so far.

I hear what you're saying. I'm hoping for good Christmas results they I may lose my nerve and jump.

Are you talking about yourself?

I thought he was talking perfect sense.

Bought 75% today, yesterday was a stupid though as I expected a drop.

I expected bad results, but equally expect encouraging sales over Christmas and I expect a takeover. I remain confident that now is a great time to buy.

On the face of it there are far far more positives that Nicola has brought to the club (and continue to bring to the club) than negatives. You coud compare him with Rupert Lowe in many areas, but the big difference is that we're not a PLC and we have money to spend. In the future I can see him hiking ticket prices, but I think that would happen anyway, so on balance there's really very little to complain about.

There's an IMS tomorrow and there is a view that it won't be that good news re sales for the last period, so the SP could drop to circa 39p or could rise to 50p'ish if it's good news. You've also got to factor in the shortselling (that seems to have now stopped) and the stake recently bought by Alexander Mamut suggesting that the short selling was a precursor to a looming takeover. For this reason i've decided to go in with 25% of my war chest today at 44.10p and keep 75% of my powder dry if the sp drops 40p. From reports from shareholders HMV and Waterstones have been busy of late so either way I think the SP will bounce back after the new year when the xmas figures are released. If (and when) the takeover does happen i'd expect an offer and acceptance circa 80p so all considered (including consideration of the very generous dividend) i'd say now is a good time to get in there. Certainly one for the watch list at any rate as I think we're nearing the end game and a takeover approach now the shortsellers have exhausted their little ploy. This is no jjb mickey mouse outfit, it's a completely undervalued and manipulated SP and is imo completely falsely low. After cooling on it for a bit i'm now convinced, all thigs considered, this is a strong buy.

My honest answer is that I haven't got a ****ing clue. Being serious aside from the ticket tax I have no complaints.

We must have some provision because the Skates regularly have games off.

uh-oh...

I think he was talking more about ex-employees. People like leftback.

No they weren't, looking at him his eyes rgularly went to the left as we looked AT him, therefore to HIS right. This happened regularly when asked questions: When he says the club is not for sale his eyes look to the left. When he talks about the Liebherrs commitment his eyes look to the left. When he talks about Markus having no input his eyes look left. When he talks about not wanting to move onto something better he looks left. When he talks about us being on schedule he looks left. When he talks about being in the Prem by 2014 he looks left. When he talks about NA doing great he looks left.

He didn't like the question because he's a dwarf. Little people always try to make up for in power what they lack in height.

Looking left when thinking (answering a question) is a sign of lying. That said we really need to know if he's left handed because that would then make it a sign of recollecting a visual image of truth. It's the opposite for left handers. Lady Saint could you watch how he holds his knife and fork please and report back.

When he says the club is not for sale his eyes look to the left. When he talks about the Liebherrs commitment his eyes look to the left. When he talks about Markus having no input his eyes look left. When he talks about not wanting to move onto something better he looks left. When he talks about us being on schedule he looks left. When he talks about being in the Prem by 2014 he looks left. When he talks about NA doing great he looks left. Make of this what you will.

HMV currently purchaseable @ 44.10 A good price IMO.

That is what I meant.

It's all irrelevent Timothy. They're nt going to bring standing back.

I've stood on the London Road and Glebe Road terrace many times at Peterborough and no problems, but i've also stood on packed terraces and they were unsafe. I used to try to get stood behind a crush barrier.

The point is that reserved seating means that hoodlums cannot gather together so easily and in such large numbers, and because names can be put to seats it makes identification easier.

Did the Liberals sign a pre election pledge to support this bill?

I'd be gutted if I was a Geordie.

Bringing back standing would be a backward step. It will never happen.
