	UNCONFRIMED BUYOUT CLAIM : Let's get Freddy to rumble....? The BBC reported that a consortium were in "advanced talks over a £60m takeover" of the club via TV & online news updates on Monday, naming Freddy Shepherd as the lead figure and Alan Shearer as preferred manager. Informed sources on Tyneside are now giving credence to the story and suggesting that this Friday could finally see something solid break, bringing an end to the weeks of claims, whispers and half-truths over United's future. The price quoted seems ridiculous - has our stock really fallen that far? - but the story seems to have gathered pace after reported sightings of Shepherd and Shearer at the old La Sagesse school in Jesmond, recently bought by the former Chairman. The return of FS would surely be another backwards step if we're treated to more embarrassing "Geordie Nation" utterances, exclusive Sky interviews with Jim White, family members on the board, dubious agent involvement and local car dealer hangers-on back in the Director's Box. Mike Ashley & Co have been an unmitigated disaster but have we really been beaten into submission to the extent that the man who bought Albert Luque and Michael Owen (Graeme Souness insists he was a bystander in both deals) can walk straight back in? And we haven't even mentioned Toongate.... This club has been without competent management at all levels for decades and that needs to change. Now. Taken from www.nufc.com
	JUST HURRY UP AND SELL US !!! Sick to death of all the half stories from 'sources' or statement from groups who claim to be doing this and that whilst NUFC claim they haven't. I simply can't be arsed to type all the stories that are coming out. It's getting beyond a fucking joke now. Fixtures are coming out soon, pre-season training is about to start and once again we are a clueless shambles.
	OBA WANTS TO STAY Thats nice of him isn't it? Is this a genuine statement or is it simply a case of Oba making sure people know he is still at NUFC and about to play his football in a league he doesn't want to be in. A veiled come and get me plea, but done in such a way as to not annoy the fans. I hope the lad is genuine and really does want to stay.
	SHEARER BACK FROM HIS HOLIDAY Alan was back from his holiday and enjoying a round of golf today. In his usual style he refused to comment on all things Newcastle.

JUST FOR GILBERT

Oh and not forgetting...

TOTT.NET BANNER SLOGAN COMPETITION

A daft competition was run on the forum on friday night, with members asked to pen a little intro to go at the top of this page. A lot of thought was put into these efforts by all members of the forum who entered (yeah right, course there was).

All the entries were then all put to a member vote (as is the usual rule). Forum member Nemo got off to a flyer gaining an incredible amount of votes early on, to the point that his lead looked untouchable. It was therefore declared that he was the winner.

But no !!!

An evil web of lies and untruths was uncovered (shock horror)...The cunningly fiendish Nemo had only gone and cheated to try and claim TOTT.NET glory for himself.

Lords' little one liner was infact the true winner, so that is what you can see up there now *points*.

If for some strange reason you wish to read the other piss poor efforts then simply Click here.

NEW COMPETITIONS !!!

MILF IDOL -

MILF IDOL has been won by Angry Kid. It was a close final but he won by just two votes. His defeated fellow finalist, Gilbert, shouted fix and cheat from the roof tops, but we all just laughed.

Wag Idol is now into round two and started in disarray with young Gilbert well and truly spitting his dummy out and refusing to enter. Gilbert has not been seen since his little outburst.

INTRO COMP -

Forum members are invited to think up a little intro, that we can put just there to the left, that will possibly persuade guests of the site to sign up to the forum.

Also, a picture is needed for this section. A picture that you think best sums up the mentality of the forum.

Both the picture and the intro will go to the left of this for all to see.

So get your thinking caps on folks.
