"obafemi, the way we did that is having an average attendence of 26k and 7 teams got lower amount. Remember 26k in a 35k will mean emtpy seats but not neccessarily the least amount"
FHMAG13 (Newcastle United fan)
"Selling Milner would be one of the biggest mistakes KK could make this Summer, and i don't think he's that daft. He's been one of, if not our best player the past 2 seasons (not including his spell out with injury obviously) and even if we did sell him £5 million is laughable."
