Bad Mongo

Even though it was a joke, he shouldn't have done that Nazi salute. Nee one likes him as it is.

The Nazi salute is supposed to be done with the right hand, AFAIK.

Great player.

 

You're a fucking loon.

TBF, he's part joking. And part hoping to get another "I told you so" moment in a couple of years.

WTF, I just started checking the match thread at 1-0 and page 8, and everyone was either complaining about Nolan being shite or complaining about the complaining. Then the first post on page 9 is Nolan scoring and it's 3-0 before I'd even stopped laughing.

Of course he's "good enough" if the rest of the team is in balance. Ever noticed that excellent passing of e.g. Arsenal or Barcelona? Ever noticed the equally good movement in the same teams? Jonas would certainly not be good enough for either of those teams, but he would certainly be good enough for a Newcastle with slightly better movement down the middle. It's not like the right back, the attack and the central midfield aren't bigger problems right now.

Anyone know if the Andy_Carroll is the real one? He's just started tweeting for the first time in 3 months after match. Certainly making out he's Carroll.

 

Routledge and LuaLua are the only genuine ones AFAIK.

How can Nolan's not be genuine? It's far too boring to be fake.

Everyones an expert on how to run a club. I cant believe so many seemingly 'sensible' people seemingly fail to understand the singular importance of having the right man running the team, which in my opinion isnt Hughton.

 

How much you spend on the team pales in significances in comparison to having the right man in charge.

 

The lack of transfer cash is a fair stick to beat Ashley with, potentially missing out on Ben Arfa will add another few inches to the stick (and rightly so), but the way it gets harped out and overplayed every transfer window is boring.

 

My philosophy of what we should be doing is basically this, I'd rather have someone like Martin O'Neill at the club than Lionel Messi. Ive opened myself up to absolute ridicule and fully expect to be riduculed but it does make perfect sense.

To be fair, you deserve ridicule. You've defended this inept moron ever since he proved that he was one, and now you continue to do so. Martin O'Neill got Aston Villa to where it was by spending a load of money. He walked when some of his players had to be sold. How the hell do you think someone like Ashley, with a tradition of selling players behind the manager's back without even putting the money back in the club, is going to attract O'Neill? How the hell is Ashley going to attract any manager if he continues not supporting them -- and even sacking the more successful among them, like you suggest? Only a no-name manager like Hughton, or someone who's been out of a job for years, like Kinnear, will work for that man.

You're a fucking idiot, man.

This hurts.

It does. But your tits are of some consolation.

We haven't even kicked a ball yet. Way too early to call. Anything can happen at this stage.

Anything? I don't think a top 7 is possible, as we don't have a single quality striker, and our midfield is fairly shit.

Bump.

Just scored a cracker for France.

And now Huseklepp scored as well, so we won't get him either.

Could be something in that, the players not being too fond of him I mean. Read an interview with Carew in the paper on sat where he ranked the best managers he'd played under in his opinion, with O'Neill getting last place on his "list".

I had to google that just to see his list, and O'Neill seems to be number 4, after Eggen, Capello and Benitez, and before del Bosque, Cuper and Houllier. Seems reasonable enough.

Charlotte Jackson looking tremendous this afternoon on SSN.

 

I assume you've googled her at some point, if not get to it, your life will be that litte bit better

 

He's right, your post inspired me to do it for the first time in a while. My day is automatically better.

Yep. But I don't get why this isn't worthy of its own thread.

Which teams have gone down playing 'attractive' football?

Harper's form tailed off in the 2nd half of last season for sure.What NUT says makes perfect sense to me tbh.

Yeah, if his form had a dip towards the end of the season, he's finished.

How about not messing with the spot that depends most on stability when it's the least (or second least) of our problems?

David Beckham. I'm clearly finished, but I'm still this incredibly handsome and likable superstar.

It would be nice to see Jonas not shoe horned into a position he just isn't suited for. His only attribute is work-rate. Which would only work if he was playing as a wing back.

 

FYP

 

Incorrect. He also has very Argentinian hair.

 

It's not. They will show edited highlights making it out they win/were the best, though.

That's really just propaganda, though. Maybe it's what happens, maybe it's not. Take it with a sack of salt.

North Korea.

They've been playing well. Some modest individual skill there as well, but excellent organisation and work rate.

Yeah he did.

 

"Finished as a top class centre forward, on the way down as a player" or something like that.

 

Wasn't a recent quote either and I'm fucked if I can find it.

 

Sorry, perhaps that means "he's shit" in some obtuse dialect of the moron language, but not in normal English.

 

What?

 

It was when he absolutely wasn't finished as a top class centre forward.

And? It still doesn't mean "he's shit".

If Facebook got a legal notice about it I'm sure they'd just pull the user account.

I'm pretty sure the fixture list is uncopyrightable everywhere except Britain. Oh, and that means only the British leagues have copyrighted fixtures.

 

Aye, but then so has Harper. Especially recently. Not that I don't rate him, he's just not near England standard imo.

One of England's main problems is that Harper pretty much is England standard, sadly.

I know. But he wouldn't do that.

Should have been your number 1 in the world cup.

The commentators have given Jonas credit for his hair, but not much else.

Jonas 

I was going to say that.
