Bricking it here.

Wahey.

The voice of sanity is rarely heard amidst a cacophony of madness, just as todays peaceful protest will probably get hijacked by others with less brain cells than amoebas. Those that have succumbed to emotion fueled rage have lost the capacity to reason and are deaf to intelligence in any shape or form. I digress from topic I know, but it always fascinates me to see people driven by their emotions. They even call them 'their' emotions.. yet clearly, demonstrably, it is the emotions that are controlling them. It's why rhetoric is so succesfully employed by so many with agendas, they know people who are slaves to their emotions (and it is the majority) are just marionettes waiting for direction.

What price would be acceptable assuming he is going?, £3m seems ridiculously low to me. Double it and it begins to sound a bit better.

wow, that's an eye opener if there's any truth in it Thankfully there isn't. It's making out as if he knew nothing about Ben Arfa really which is pretty fucking strange considering what the lad was saying about Chris Hughton while still at Marseille. They did the same with Keegan and Bassong. Aye it is just all backstabbing propaganda from what I can see. You would have to be pretty fickle to believe it. Unfortunately a lot of football fans are. Just want to quote these to help make sure it's seen by whoever needs to see it. '5.2 The Club admitted to the Tribunal that it repeatedly and intentionally misled the press, public and the fans of Newcastle United.' Do not be taken in by them, they are proven and admitted liars. Ben Arfa told the world he came solely because of the job Hughton did selling the club to him, Tiote had been scouted since the days of Keegan. When anyone gets in their way, Llambias always tries to lie, libel and slander his way through the situation. Without fail. Like fucking educationally subnormal children. 'FACT.' Timely reminder, thank you.

Southampton now mate.

I think the length of the contract is quite meaningless really as it will not cost Ashley much to break it, once bitten etc.. what it might be supposed to represent is a new era of stability.. look, a 5.5 yr contract, time for long-term thinking.

A lot of you seem to be missing the point, we're all supporters of Newcastle United, and there's a major clue right there. The opposite of united would be disunited, and kicking off in fury and disgust will contribute to chaos, or breakdown. We'll lose games, plummet down the league and get relegated.. and you'll all insist it was just Ashley's fault - nothing to do with you. By all means protest before the game, during half-time and after the game, but whilst the football is being played be UNITED behind the players - they need your support right now.

Crumpy is right on this one. Self defeating to attack Pardew before he has even managed a game or two. Irrespective of his relationship (or lack of) to Ashley/Llambias he's a football manager who has been given a job to do, hardly a capital offence. No-one is very happy with the circumstances of Hughton's dismissal but that is where all this anger really stems from. If someone approaches me and asks me if I'm interested in a job whilst I know someone already has that job does it make me a twat if I say 'Yes, I would be interested'? I don't think so. I don't like much of what I read about Pardew's character but let's face it that's all hearsay as I have no direct experience, nor do I think his record is all that impressive, but I've never even seen one of his teams play so I have to at least give him a chance. The jury is still out on this one. Just like to add, when I heard Souness had been appointed I felt like I'd physically been punched in the stomach. This appointment just leaves a sense of apathy.

He won't be here next season.

It does like, puts a different slant on things somewhat.

Damn you safety razors!! How the fuck are you supposed to slash your wrists with a Mach?

Vague recollection of something along those lines.

Because he's preceived of as being just an employee? Conversely Shepherd had the appearance of running the club on a day to day basis.

So Hughton wasn't even average. I wasn't convinced by him but the very least I'd grant him is the label 'average'.

Wouldn't buy his tracksuit from Sports Direct.

All of the above to varying degrees. Mostly pissed off though so I suppose Anger.

Ashley doesn't care enough about the fans to be too arsed whether we're pissed off or not. As I said on another thread he's done it because he thinks it's the best thing to do to protect the value of his investment. That is all he cares about. Seriously worrying if true, more like a massive fucking gamble.

I think the word you were looking for was HAD.

Snap your fucking hand off for 17th now.

That's the only silver lining I see at present, surely any new manager gets to bring in a player or two during the January window. Not much of a glimmer I grant you, but still. Conversely, breaking news: Ben Arfa vows to never return to St James'

Thread needs a poll.
