I miss Ba, to be honest. I thought he was one of the best strikers we've had in recent memory.

The same guy who tweeted congratulating Man Utd on winning the title and then saying one day we'll be there. He loves this place, no doubt in my mind. If there is an issue, there will be a compromise. And fuck Wonga.

This story sounds like some random rehash of a story that never picked up much steam when the club announced the Wonga deal to be honest. And many discussing the morality of the man, religion etc are wasting their own time as well. Wait for some quotes or a real announcement I guess?

This is what happens when you're trying to kill an hour or so.... I love Cisse, but fuck he should have won this for Senegal.

Man he totally should have scored that diving header earlier....but mind you it was a tough angle

Cisse scores. Offsides. It continues.

Cisse man

BTW - somebody has edited Demba Ba's name on the Senegal wiki page as "Batman"

Angola equalized, saw that coming when the cross was hit

How/What was his goal like?

I'm quietly confident that we'll keep him - for some reason I just think he's going to stay. Hope so at least.

Nees knows.

Should be interesting. Galatasaray are clearly better nowadays but Cardozo guarantees goals like few. I hope he stays in Lisbon but after that problem with Jorge Jesus... not likely. Bony - possible replacement. I believe he was linked to Newcastle in January. Still is, but we'll miss out coz were good at that sorta thing. Dekka and Ash absolutely love a transfer saga don't they?

I'd have taken 40 and Ramires, tbf.

The club Ashley has turned us into; those of us who support it shouldn't can't fall into that same apathetic way of thinking, no matter how hard it is.

Precisely. He will go where he will be paid most. This will be a lower tier Premiership side with money in its accounts and low expectations. They'll enjoy the boy at first because he works hard, but will grow tired of him over the seasons because he is so limited. This is just the player he is. I rate Tulisa much more highly than others here. Very attractive girl. Obviously, she is an abhorrent person, but so is every other women that will ever lay with Danny Simpson. Agree to disagree man. She doesn't really do much for me. But fair enough Baba.

Depressing 2 posts; Pardew's defeatist mentality has infected our own supporters.

he'd be better off getting with some Italian lass vs. tulisa tbf

Poor Debuchy, his supposed best friend keeps dipping out on him.

We were first for 30 fucking matches man. Still hurts to think about that! Month of Feb, match day 26 for us was when we fell apart too. 5 of our 8 losses came from that point on too.

Finally look like a real club. Their kits have been awful!

Ever hear of McDonalds? You're mind will be blown. No I'm afraid I've never heard of that magical establishment my friend.

I'd not want him as a manager again as I'd rather he seriously be involved in the big picture of our club - but Ron's spot on - he would be very successful. People are crazy if they think he's out of touch with the game. He was perfectly fine until Ashley and Dekka performed the Barrack Road Screwjob on him.

Aye, Sysco & Sodexo - top quality food right there. Can eat the same burger in Florida that you can eat in Philly or London.

This. You think about our club and you think about other sports and other organizations within them. You want to support a club that is not defeatist, is positive, and is generally well-run. You want to support a club where the board sees more than just a positive balance sheet and income statement, but sees opportunity and galvanizes the supporters in the city and anyone willing to take notice in the world. Keegan did that for us every single time, its just shame how much a mess his 2nd stint was for us. Sadly we're still a sleeping giant in the NE of England - Keegan and Bobby saw it and we made memories with them, hopefully we'll get back there some day - and I hope KK somehow is a part of it, would be so fitting and be so typically Keegan-epic-esque. Imagine this club with new ownership and Keegan in some senior exec role? Place would be fucking buzzing again.
