Apropos of nothing and probably a massive Giggsy, but this is just brilliant. http://www.shiteseats.co.uk/post/17227764962/mad-danes-record-a-tribute-rock-song-to-the-toon

I see that they're still blocking Falkland Isle-flagged ships from docking at their ports at the moment too, presumably there are elections coming up or something. Nay, they just had them. The last apertura was called the Copa Malvinas too, seems they name them all after historical jibber jabber. Pretty much every street/plaza in Argentina is named after some old historical/military giffer. Fair enough, but that Kirchner still seems to have one sandy vagina, they're now going to report us to the UN for war mongering according to the beeb ffs.

Super to make gifs from video clips and Photoshop for the rest. Is Super safe? Downloaded it, but it wants to access t'internet when installing. Should be safe Cheers, will let it do whatever it feels it needs to do then.

I think the genuine reason is that he can't handle flair players and he knows the fans want to see him play so he's trying to turn the fans against the player, I could be wrong but I don't think I am. Surely he can speak to the player in training without going through the press, it's as if he's after a reaction. I think there's no doubt he's after a reaction, but only from the player himself. The idea that he is trying to turn the fans against HBA is laughable imho. He clearly rates him ("unbelievable talent"), and wants to play him, maybe even going as far as to change the system to accommodate a player who he himself has said can be forgiven losing the ball as he gives us so much extra going forward. But having said all that, he seems to not be getting enough back from the lad to risk him at the moment and I cant argue too much after some of the performances he's put in (such as the first half against Blackburn) sadly. I hope to God that HBA proves whatever he needs to, or Pardew gives up to a degree and compromises sooner rather than later though; It would be a hell of a shame if it doesn't work out. He's the type of player you dream about pulling on the shirt for us.

Super Hans is a charmer and no mistake.

Interesting comment from Pardew. Sounds like 'the Carroll money' is long gone tbh. The quote in the Independant is similar but for me shows he is not making a point that the only money left for such a deal is from new money or stadium revenue, simply trying to include us and emphasising his responsibility to us as he often does.

I think expectations in our players is partially down to us doing well, so rather than saying we could be doing even better (if Pardews tactics saw us go all tippy tappy etc, not that I wouldn't waant that of course), I'm in the camp that says we are doing very well with the players we have and are not too far off our limit, especially considering the extraordinary journey we have been on in the last couple of years. Beyond the quality of personnel, we still are getting results that we might not have got in the past. Whether that's luck, playing beyond ourselves, or just a symptom of a great drive and belief among the players that is nurtured and sustained by a very good manager and coaching staff I'm don't know. Pretty sure a great deal is to do with the latter though.

That's translation for you. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ah so that's why I take more of a glass half full line on here most of the time. It generally genuinely is. Average league position for me - 16.38235294117647

He was class when he moved to the centre Our form that season would suggest otherwise. So if you get relegated every single player has to be shit? If that's the case then Scott Parker can hand back his trophy for last season. They all played a part. Beye wasn't brilliant in his final season and his form since he left would prove that his decline started that season. Only Bassong came out of relegation season with any credit. Rest of the team hid behind the problems off the field for their own pathetic on-field performances individually and as team. Agreed. As to the topic, I was there for the Leyton Orient game and was absolutely sickened by Beyes performance in particular that day. Had absolutely no problem with him leaving after that, he clearly couldn't give two shits anymore. /That said thought, he was great for us and I'm happy to believe he just made bad choices/was badly advised in the end.

Barton, Enrique, and our captain were 3 massive players for us and left in the same window. We survived, and thrived. /it's the quality we bring in that's the thing, not the players they replace.

Eh what? Just felt the need to say I find the use of the term 'mong' pretty offensive. The apparently flippant and repetitive use of it in this thread especially so. No biggie. I looked back ten pages and couldn't find one instance of it. As James said it's all ower the board, so honestly fair enough, I'm just a little taken aback that it's a common term these days. In this thread since you ask, a quick search throws up. There's a discussion about it here: http://www.newcastle-online.org/nufcforum/index.php/topic,91533.0.html Also please note the previous thread I've linked to in there. Interesting stuff. -
