We are signing good players by the sounds of it. I doubt many would collectively swap our new signings for those from most other clubs this summer. Most other clubs hadn't neglected their squad like we had. This is why they find it so easy to sell players in January, because after five months getting battered every week, they can sign in summer instead and everyone queues up to wank them off, like they've done us a favour. Like giving credit to someone for doing a big shop after they've let the kids starve for a month. On the "good players" point, aye ok, let's see how good they are after a year with the cunt. If they're anything like Moussa Sissoko, most people will say they're shit.

Giving him credit also stems from this idea that football transfers are so incredibly difficult to conduct. They're really not, as evidenced by the amount that are done every year, by every club in the world. The concept of giving some background money man kudos for something really tough didn't exist until this mob rocked up. It's a line they peddle when they're not at risk of impending doom and therefore don't want to spend any money, and some people are daft enough to fall for it.

Good grief, the club had to invest to avoid being relegated. No wonder we're stuck with this lot when some people are so unbelievably easy to please.

Exactly. Nothing more to say. Laters.

No redeeming features whatsoever, the manager. 100% cunt.

One of the worst posts ever made on here. Impressive.

£28m on a striker is what a top six club in the Premier League should be spending. What the fuck else are they going to do with the ridiculous money Sky is throwing at them?

He looked hopeless at right back under both managers.

Stephen Best II @helloIamBesty · 5m Loads of haircuts in Score Draw replica shirts letting flares off. Stephen Best II @helloIamBesty · 14s Songs about Messrs Alder and Sweeney followed by the "Shola from Fenham" monstrosity. Brain dead Honestly feel like I've got absolutely fuck all in common with a large percentage of our supporters anymore.

Anyone who puts their money down for that wants a good slap in the face.

It was out of Everton's control right up until the point they decided to buy him.

Wow, great signing for Everton. A Premier League football club acting like one.

FFS. I promised myself I wouldn't discuss Pardew this season, other than to call him a cunt and leave it at that.

Perch improved so much that we sold him to a Championship club for less than we paid for him.

It's not the manager's job to get the best out of Player A or Player Z, it's his job to get the best out of the collective. Building a team that depends so entirely on one or two individuals to the point where the team is getting absolutely humiliated every time they're absent is not a plus point, no matter how well that particular individual performs. Any manager could get a particular good player to perform if that's all they were trying to do - unless that player is Messi, it's not a realistic way to run a successful football team. Similar to Cabaye, one striker at any time has typically performed well under Pardew, that's because he puts all his eggs in their basket to the ultimate detriment of the team, hence why it's so fucking boring because he's that terrified of conceding, as he knows perfectly well that the chance of the midfield or defence getting into the box and contributing doesn't exist. Personally I think that the suggestion that Cabaye improved is quite amusing given how much of a slagging he was getting in 12-13, when the general consensus amongst many was "look at this shit poor Pards has been bought, not as good as our deluded fans think" when the truth was that it was fucking obvious that Cabaye was a superb footballer within a few games of him putting a black and white shirt on.

SJP will be asking for a wave again before October imo.

"Hardly failure" to lose more games than you win? What a load of shit. Cannot fucking stand the sympathy that is creeping back for the vile fucking cunt.

That's really interesting, cheers.

Saddens me enormously to admit it but a Pardew-led NUFC holds absolutely no interest for me anymore.

Didn't realise until the other day that Lallana is a lifelong Everton fan, and then said "when I played against Liverpool last season, I knew that was where I wanted to be" Rancid little turd.

Pretty sure we only won one game without him, you might be counting Fulham where he only came on after 75 minutes (and we scored the only goal in the 86th).

Caved in. You've spent the last three years singing the manager's praises. Well I'd say more defending the manager than singing his praises, although he has long since given up the right to be defended. More caving in to giving big Mike money. This was the main concern. When he nearly relegated us, you said he deserved to keep his job so you don't need to worry about regretting your season ticket purchase. It'll be more of the same that we've had for the last two seasons, concede more than we score and lose more than we win, mackems will kick the shit out of us again and there'll be plenty of those cyber tears for you and HV to mock so :thup:
