Big Geordie

Interesting idea an do-able surely?

Evidence?

I would take Carroll back - the lad has a big future in the game, though I'm not sure he can achieve that at the scallywags. And as for us playing 'carpet football' this season, I've not seen any evidence of it so far.

Bloody hell - wish him and his son all the best.

An awful statement, but it's to be expected from the clueless arsehole.

I remember the KK haters having a field day.

3 weeks until the next home game though. That's an age in football terms, which is why it will have been timed for now. Leaves any anger to disapate or be channeled into fighting amongst ourselves in the Gallowgate. Divide and Conquer - a classic example.

I've never said anything to oppose this. Just the negativity stinks. People can't seem to differentiate the fact aye, Ashley & Llambias are cunts, we've made profit, but are still looking a good prospect this season. Just look at the views of the Villa & Everton fans on here for a bit of perspective, two clubs who we'll be competing with for a top 8 finish imo. And even if we spent another £20m or whatever I'm not sure we'd have made much of a dent on the top 6 anyway. Top 8? Are you off your nut or something! No way we will finish that high up. 12th at the very best because we just don't have the squad or firepower to compete.

Anyone would think the man is doing it on purpose! It's gonna be a Sports Direct sign going up in it's place and another well aimed kick in the balls for the supporters. Shameful.

The OP is spot on. People (myself included) are just fed up of the constant stream of lies and half-truths that come from the club (of which Pardew is complicit too) Due to the moving fans business, he now has us fighting amongst ourselves and whilst that happens it deflects away from his asset stripping of the club. I can't wait to see the accounts when they are due and I'd wager he will be worrying about that now, which is why he has probably raked in as much as he could get away with. Tell the truth for christ's sake - is it too much to ask? I would also like the local media to ask some serious questions of what has not happened, but that's not gonna happen. They are content to tow the club line and string fans along to sell more copy. Pack of c**ts the lot.

And of course now there is an international break and no home game for 2.5 weeks. Plenty of time for the anger to calm doen eh? Ashley and Llambias will be pissing themselves.

Why are some of you surprise d? Was always going to happen. More fake bids, etc and people lap it up. Looks like Keegan was right in saying the Carroll cash would not be spent and yet plenty called him at the time for saying as much. Plenty of humble pie to be eaten!

Left it far too late once again - I'm a cynic in believing that it was never an intention to spend the Carroll money on bringing in a replacement. I hope I am proven wrong, however.

I know this is meant a bit in jest, but in all seriousness it can't have gone un-noticed (the big drop in attendances) Even Ashley and Llambias aren't that blind.

Does sound very much like a terrific signing and I look forward to seeing the lad in action. Still need a striker in, cover at DC and a replacement for Barton though.

Looks like Keegan is gonna be right about the Carroll money not being spent then. This was always going to happen and yet if it does, people will still make excuses for Ashley.

Interesting link, but again we can only believe it if and when the kid signs on. Wondering why if he is so highly rated as to why Inter want shot? Are they in financial difficulty or does the lad want first team football which they can't give him?

So predictable. Deal won't go through and Llambias (via Pardew) will blame PSV and/or agents for the delay.

Did well today, and a very classy turn and finish for his second. Definitely worth keeping around, IMO. Lovenkrands on the other hand......

Is Wenger being allowed to spend though?

Arsenal were as awful today as Man United were brilliant. Pressure is really on Wenger now - suspect there will be a deluge of Gooners ringing in 606 wanting him sacked.

Eh? How did you draw those conclusions from those quotes? Reading between the lines from what Pardew has said in recent days, and the history of this regime lying to the fans. We were told Pieters would be over the line (and signed by now) Where is he? It's all bullshit man which is being lapped up by the likes of you who will still make excuses come Thursday when Ryan Taylor is our LB.

Looking like no-one will be coming in before Weds, other than a very cheap deal or two (ala Kuqi) as I said yesterday. Another disasterous window with Ashley and Llambias sticking Pardew out to dry, though he is complicit too.

I'd hope the local media are ready with pens poised to have a go at the regime if the run up to Wednesday and the day itself turns out to be disappointing as we all expect. I won't hold my breath on them having a go though. It'll be more sycophantic arselicking.

Just seen the Drogba challenge - not at all good and I hope the lad is alright.
