Doubt he cares much either way TBH. I'm sure it came out in the Keegan case that they were basically lying to try and keep people onside. Pardew was the perfect appointment too because he can bullshit his way out of almost anything. Llambais was constantly bullshitting to try and sell some new ridiculous idea to fans. Ashley care's less than he did when he first joined, but he still wants 50'000 gullible cunts paying him £30 a ticket to watch the team play.

It's nothing like a new signing at all. Thats the kind of PR bullshit Ashley wants us to swallow.

He's Ashley's go to guy when he needs a Geordie to back up one of ridiculous decisions. Well, him or chief arselicker Beardsley.

It was decent until it all went tits up over the last few days of the window.

Defending absolutely horrendous, friendly or not.

He was horrendous. The most worrying thing however was that he was just strolling round looking like he was hardly trying. He should be busting a gut and trying impress, not just going through the motions. Obertan was shit too, but he looked interested at least.

He's awful imo.

The thing was though, we had a good first 11 out for nearly all of last season certainly compared to the teams around us, but the tactics and set piece routines counteracted it. We do have good players, but ive no confidence in the manager, and tbh, the coaches, getting the best out of them. Agree, I'm afraid... Cabaye, Ba,Cisse, Tiote and the rest worked well together - but now that AP got the time to have an influence he spoils it! We'd ve better of letting everyone (not Tiote) act on instinct! NO manager at all, and let some Random Dude pick the team... Granted, last night was the first friendly, but the set pieces were the same. Vuckic took free kick on half way line, everyone up, and floated straight to the keeper. We should be working on new set piece routines.

At the moment nobody will buy us. We're basically floating along doing the bare minimum until something changes. Clubs like Norwich and Swansea are showing the ambition we should be. We're rotten top to bottom. Virtually nothing at the club is done to its maximum potential. As a club we don't even try to succeed so we don't deserve anything.

Half an hour. Had one chance but didn't do anything else. Not really impressed by his positioning tbh. Looks a long way from being ready from his limited first team appearances so far imo.

Bent and Remy wouldn't be my first choices, but we need numbers in now. Cisse, Bent, Remy and Gouffran would be a decent set of strikers for the season. Take away one of them and we're short. Shola doesn't count. We defiantly need another right back imo too. Tavernier isn't good enough to cover. Anita can, Santon can and Steven Taylor can at an absolute push, but we need someone to put a bit of pressure on Debuchy. A winger would be good too, but there doesn't seem to be a desire to sign one which is disappointing.

Think the banner is pretty good tbh. It could be far worse. Quite a few anti-Ashley chants tonight that I havent heard in a few years.

Hope the cunt is there tonight.

Aye. Considering the Berwick v Oxford game was live on Radio Oxford/OUFC Website.

It actually has gone all quiet since Kinnear went on holiday! Fuckin ridiculous. Can't believe we're relying on that senile old cunt to do our deals.

He's shit, but we already had a small squad. You can't just ship dead wood out if you're not replacing them.

0 IN, 4 OUT

Yeah get rid of him and his assists and let Sammy in the team. Who needs a squad anyway?! THREE OUT, ZERO IN, and Marveaux on his way. Can't wait until next season when Pardew (if he's still there) is moaning on about injuries again by October and lack of depth in the squad. Its a fuckin piss take, but the same old fans will be advocating the sale of players who can't fit into the tactics of the leagues shittest manager! And its the same cunts happy to give Pardew one bad season who are first advocate the sale of players after only a few months of dropped form. Tiotes shit so get rid, good money for Cabaye, Ben Arfa always injured anyway, Jonas needs to retire, let Cisse go to Russia, Perch isn't good enough anyway, Simpson was shite, can't wait to see the back of Williamson, Gosling not good enough, retire Shola, Obertan's shite........ I could go on and on with stuff ive seen over the past day or so. How about we sign players before we start selling them for next to nothing? We're hardly skint and if we're going to sell decent back up for as little as £700k, im sure we can afford to replace before we let them fuckin go.

Nothing against him personally, but he will be pretty pointless having the way we play with the long ball an all that. Will just be added to the list of other players he can't get the best out of.

Perch's best games have been nowhere near as good as Tiote's have been since he joined. A good coach could work with Tiote to get the best out of him. Perch really isn't going to improve. He's a Championship player.

Use him as part of a deal to try and get McCarthy.

No

So chuffed we've avoiding this bidding war. Great also how we brought forward this summers signings to January when we got Sissoko and co in. Or not, but folk really believe the shit spin that comes out of the club.

'Quinny' giving advice to Kinnear. Jesus Christ. Two slack jawed pricks.
