  1. Still astounded that fans who have the club's best interests at heart see fit to keep giving this bloke their money. No-one should be going within ten feet of SJP until he's gone.

     

    Well done that man. It's such a simple solution. He's only here to generate mild profit while he looks to sell. Starve sources of profit, he has to make a move.

    he's still a long way off from making any sort of profit mind.

     

    Even better.

  3. Absolutely expect nothing to happen and will be genuinely shocked if there is any inward business.

    Really makes you wonder what the f*** the JFK appointment is about.

    I mean Ashley's not renowned for shitting money against a wall is he? (albeit small beer for a salary in the scheme of things)

     

    Makes not a jot of sense.

     

    Makes perfect sense. He wants to sell as soon as he gets what he deems a good offer; so he's staffed the club with a manager and director of football who are his mates who will end up getting a huge financial payout (through length of contract) when whoever the next regime is may eventually takeover and inevitably sack them for their perpetual incompetence.

  4. "The other team just kicked the ball too much to day. We wasn't expecting that."

     

    "Sometimes you just have to hold your hand up and say you can't compete financially. With the kind of spending power teams like Hull and West Brom have, we just can't compete with that."

  5. Why couldn't we have ended up with Laudrup?    :sad:

     

    Because he would be unwilling to work with the caveat that he's not allowed to question anything Mike Ashley says or does. He has:

    (1) A spine

    (2) A vision for development

    (3) Integrity

    (4) An understanding of the need to spend money

    All 4 things can't be achieved with Ashley in charge, and he will only appoint a yes man. This, in a nutshell, is why we hired Pardew, why we still have Pardew and why we will continue to have Pardew as long as he can keep us ticking over in the league.

  6. As a pretty much lifelong Londoner this is a really interesting conversation. I think London can be daunting, overwhelming and downright hostile when you don't know too many people down here and you come down on a "solo" venture, like working without having a contacts base. If you go to university or school here, or start a graduate job with others at the same time - just anything where you have people to talk to and spend time with - then London is a fantastic place where you can create so many good memories. It's an incredible city for music, film, art, literature and theatre; it's a brilliant place if you are interested in history and architecture just by walking around, it's got a world-class intellectual reputation and a beautify university quarter; it's one of the best places in the world for any kind of dining, but especially market food; and it's one of the greatest places on earth to get pissed in. And that's not mentioning things like the beautiful parks, the absolute mega range of people you might meet and places/cultures you might learn about or things you might try.

     

    But at the same time, the weather is just grim, for every lovely place there is an absolute dive just round the corner, there are far, far too many people, there are on obscene amount of pretentious people, hostile people, rude people, arrogant people and ignorant people. Lots of public infrastructure doesn't work and it's just expected as standard, especially parts of the tube which don't run sometimes for no reason and roadworks never end. Everything is stupidly expensive, especially rent which is obscene and council tax. It's really difficult to find a quiet moment for yourself or hear yourself think sometimes, and getting anywhere takes forever.

     

    On balance it isn't in my top 5 cities, but it's in my top ten. I don't think you can just say "it's shit", I think you've got to be fairly oblivious not to be able to find something to your taste in London.

  7. I've seen him play in Lyon's stadium once. I commented at the time that he was similar to Shola Ameobi but just better at the good parts of Shola (finishing, strength, control and occasional skill) and not as bad at the donkey parts of Shola (horrendous touch, shinning, running slower than a Soviet tank exhibition parade).

  8. People who think we are going to sign him are hilarious.

     

    :lol: Riiiight. They're the hilarious ones.

     

    :rolleyes:

     

    What are you rolling your eyes at then, Ralph Wiggum?

     

    You

     

    I got that part, cheers.

     

    So why did you ask? Was it just so you could insult Neesy for rightfully being tired of your repetitive patter?

     

    Neesy's a big lad. I'm sure he can talk for himself. :thup:

     

    Best stop now before I run into trouble with the hyperbole police.
