Eh? I'd say Ince's actions were considerably worse than Pardews nuzzle if anything. A fuck sight more aggressive for a start.

He is. That says more about the quality and quantity of decent English managers than anything else mind. Edit: What Semtex said.

moronicle more like To be fair, this place can be a bit of a rarity when it comes to the vehemence of its opposition to the manager. Over 2000 have voted on nufcblog.coms version of the poll, currently it's 74%/26% in favour of Pardew.

Blimey, the results of this poll are almost the exact opposite of the other polls I've seen this morning.

Fucking hell.

Decent from Barton that. Doubt it'll help though.

Reckon this forums collective and sustained propensity to project and wallow in woe is me misery hasn't helped to be fair. wat Chin up sonna.

Eh, not sure that's true. Had a look through a fair few ex players quotes and most were remarkably positive. Not that that means owt if the football is bollocks mind.

It matters if the reason the loans are interest free is because it's some tax dodgeing way of benefiting from the advertising space. If some unrelated company offered Ashley considerably more than any potential interest he might charge then he'd take it. No? I'd be surprised if we haven't had any viable offers for that space tbh I wouldn't, none of the truly decent money tends to go below the regular champions league clubs anymore.

At best I'd have thought. The same or less than the interest rate that let's say Lerner might charge. Ashley clearly benefits something from the arrangement, but I don't see it as an awful thing bar the shitness of the sponsor. That said the days of decent sponsors seem to be diminishing, its all investment companies and Asian betting shit these days.

Hilarilols.

Nothing to get hung about, but good news all the same. Hope they use the money wisely to give us something to cheer on the pitch.

I have never seen a classier defender for us than Woodgate. There were games I spent a good deal of the time just watching him for the enjoyment of that alone. Supremely calm, unerring anticipation, collossal in the air, did the simple things and turn or pass out of trouble, and the ability to then initiate an attack. Beautiful to watch and with a confidence in him that Colo rarely matches. It made his injuries all the more gutting to the point I was almost happy to see him go. Nevertheless, he gave us a few games where he made me feel absolutely honoured to have him at the club, something all to rare and extremely precious over the years. Him and Albert as a pairing man, fuuuck.

Most of the WWF patter goes way over my head, but loving this.

You really are a ****, see, I did that and can't get banned but we both know what I mean. I see echoes of a yellow bellied Pardew towing the club line so he doesn't get sacked off. Say it how you see it. Fuck the police.

Rob Lee last week tried to get to the bottom of Ashley, but like most, failed to get much of a grip on his intentions. http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/news-and-comment/former-newcastle-captain-rob-lee-stresses-sometimes-its-better-the-devil-you-know-after-criticism-of-owner-mike-ashley-9128960.html

Christ, if that claim is true, the amount of pain I want to administer to Pardew is now getting impossible to quantify. Cunt, just fuck off.

Wish I was cool enough to be one of the complete wankers who couldn't care if Newcastle were relegated.

Bit harsh like. If he only used it once to look after the kids then where's the harm?

...the departure of director of football Joe Kinnear has sparked an angry reaction from Tyneside supporters. I for one am fuming that he left, just fuming.

Bit optimistic there lad, we're looking at a dynasty. Ashley has kids.

Apropos of nothing...
