Except that fact does fuel a lot of the invective. Aye, Shay Given, Paul Bracewell and Barry Venison all used to get the same. Don't talk bollocks.

Not sure what's to like about it. It's barely a Newcastle shirt for a start.

Where the fuck is Santoon anyway?

... that he had absolutely fuck all to do with. They will though, some anyway.

It says it's a half season ticket for the first eight games. Some cunt can't count.

Just received mine. They're not desperate though. Just in case anyone thought they were. Definitely not. Tempted to scribble "Sack Pardew and I'll send you the money" on it and send it back.

I looked. Also looked on UK Gold too. :lol:

Carragher and Neville will rip that defending apart at half time.

Barring the injured De Jong and Tiote, that looks like our first choice eleven. I still have this nagging feeling there's something missing in the blend of our midfield. It'd be good if we landed Grenier. And you lot are soooooooooooooo wrong about Colback. Agreed on Grenier, there's a Cabaye shaped hole in the squad at the moment which none of the CMs can fill. About Colback, out of curiosity what are we wrong about? His ability or the likelihood of Pardew starting him? His ability. He does the basics of a CM really well. Covers a lot of ground, confident in possession, can tackle, and looks to play a positive, forward pass quickly when opportunity presents. Nothing spectacular, but very decent. I can only think that that image of him after the derby and his celebration has set a lot of people against him from the beginning. Well, get used to him, because he's a certain starter. Seems strange given the massive premium for English players that no team worth watching was desperate to get this talent signed up for nowt really.

Can't believe nobody's mentioned Big Vids.

St Mirren have a bright future ahead of them.

Don't forget any seats that have been bought for the Man City game will show as unavailable for a ST.

Can't wait for Squid Invasion at 7.

As bad as it sounds, Willo is absolutely vital to our defence And that says it all about the state of us. You're very negative, aren't you? Nope, I just know Garbage when I see it and when our best centre half has the footballing ability of a disabled child I'm disturbed. It just seems all your posts about the Toon are negative. Find me some positives my friend? And personally speaking I don't attach a positive or negative slant to things which are factually based hence my point about Williamson being terrible on the ball. I'm vocal about how I feel because I'm tired of our expectations being systematically lowered by those who run the club.

I can only assume you know him personally and he always gets a round in.

Not sure why anyone wouldn't think Colback wouldn't be one of the first names on the teamsheet. I think the coincidence of Gosling leaving somehow convinced some people that he was going to take up Gosling's mantle of having a run out once every couple of years. He ain't.

Just been looking through some pro-Pardew stuff on there from today. Surely these people aren't allowed out in public? Some serious fucking mentalists out there. I'm all for a wide range of opinions but anyone who has watched this consistently for nearly four years of their existence and fancies watching another year? Nah. I'd seriously be booking them in for psychiatric screening on the National Health because right now they're a danger to themselves and everybody else.

Apologies, completely missed that.

What a cunt.

He's always seemed a Pardew man to me. Never once heard him have a go at him so far during his punditry. Not sure if they're mates somewhere down the line with Charlton/West Ham maybe. When he was on the Taylor/Besty podcast, he stopped short of criticism but said something like "I certainly wouldn't have wanted to play for him" To be honest, it doesn't matter who it is, this is what football punditry is when it comes to managers, especially English one, just an old boy's club who will always defend each other. The difference between cricket and football in that regard is quite staggering.

Yet it's been absolutely identical to everything we watched from January to May.
