Both teams. Available weekends are:

Nov 13th
Nov 27th
Dec 18th
NYE

They keep saying their strategy will take several years to implement, I accept this and realise that in the future we may be able to hold onto players much easier if we manage to achieve success without burning cash to get there. There's next to no point in overspending until you're in the s*** to get to Europe, only to fall out of it for several years and potentially enter relegation battles. Be frugal, spend the money wisely but at all times keep a core of good players in the side and try the utmost to create a core which is reasonably stable for three-four years.

I fully expect to get slayed and slated here for being a w***** apologist and maybe I'm wrong, maybe all they care about is lining their pockets and f***ing us over but you can argue it both ways. The haters have a more aggressive way of talking about it but we'll not know who's right until MA's ownership comes to an end.

They look to be the only ones free between now (well, end of the month) and Dec 31 deadline. What date were you thinking of?

f*** me only noticed the games have been drawn!!!

Actually, on that note whatever position Slim plays for NOFC, make sure he can take alot of shots, nearly broke my hand with one in warmup,  I took some shots of Steve Bowey (ex Bristol City, I think he took their set pieces) and Slims had far more venom in them.  Don't think I've experienced such a powerful strike before.

In, if we can get a team sorted.
We've got so much chat, I'm going to have to get my ice pick out and scale the north face of Chat-mandu!

Is anyone totally against Nov 27th? Would make sense if Newcastle are at home on the Sunday lunchtime. If anyone wanted to stay over, they could and then come back on the Sunday morning.
