We actually look alright

Ol' smokey Dave..

I'm always here.. I was right all along!!! :frantic:

I'd give him a 10-0 victory if it meant the c*** would f*** off there.

Class

F*ck me I'm laughing my arse off at work now!

I've noticed a marked increase since the Cardiff game in people popping up to try and spread false truths to defend Pardew and the regime, to try and influence what is a very knowledgeable and justly anti-Ashley and anti-Pardew forum. Every time they post (they know who they are), I see them get shot down by 5-6 forum veterans, but they just don't give up and keep trying to push their point as if it is valid in any way.

Such as? Like I have said, about 15 times, I do not defend his tactics or his style of play. We have spent pretty much +-0 pounds in the last 5 years so if you consider that we are somehow still in fricking EPL where eveyone is splashing cash left, right and center. And this sentence doesn't mean AP has done great job, but it is a fact that Mike doesn't want to spend. At least a top 6 side? on our better times under Sir Bobby yes, not with the current owner and the situation with the big clubs. They don't even look to spend reasonably. Ffs Everton paid about 30 million for Lukaku? We are not going to spend anywhere near that kind of money. You're on the take mate. Arsenal had a net spend of 0 for the past 8 years before last seaons and were in the Champions League every season. What's your point? So you are now comparing us to Arsenal? who has in the previous 20 years once finished outside top4? I think they are a bit stronger than us and their youth pool maybe a bit better. Nevermind Wenger is 50 times better manager and better at developing young players than Pardew. Thank you.

Beye vs Debuchy is obviously an opinion, both very good for us while they were here. Personally I rate Debuchy more, and going on 'stats' wasn't he the best right back in Europe last season at some point ?

How much did Laurent Robert track back? Under a great manager, Sir Bobby Robson, he was one of the most unpredictable, effective left wingers we've ever had, I rate him higher than Ginola personally. Under a crap manager, Souness, he couldn't even get in the side.

Anyone struggling with a defensive contribution argument should just point them to one of our greatest ever managers, Kevin Keegan, and how he handled Ginola. The difference with Keegan is that when players complained (Rob Lee) about Ginola's work rate, Keegan took him to one side and told him that yes he wouldn't track back, he's not going to do much when we don't have the ball, but when he does, he could win us the league. With Pardew, as he's spineless, he bends to the whims of the players and won't protect or use the talent at his disposal.

Design it on MS Paint in a grid of 10x10, then go find 100 people to wear said colour t-shirts in that 10x10 grid in stadium. tldr; bloody hard.

All them billionaire owners eh. If only we had one.

That's what struck me as well, wouldn't we get far more money over the same period by doing a number of shorter deals? I've no idea why we go out of our way to deprive ourselves of commercial revenue. Really?

What's that?

Staggeringly pathetic. Which I highly doubt is accurate, my numbers are: 2012/2013 - 41 2011/2012 - 65 2010/2011 - 46 2009/2010 - 0 2008/2009 - 34 2007/2008 - 43 2006/2007 - 43 2005/2006 - 58 2004/2005 - 44 2003/2004 - 56 Total = 430 10 seasons = 43 points per season The Premiership kept on going even when we weren't in it because Ashley got us relegated, fucking numpty.

I imagine they don't want to lean on either side of the argument incase some pro Pardew supporters refuse to drink there. Maybe the pro-Hatem ones should instead..

Thank f***. Glad I scrolled down, was in horror at that post when I saw it now I thought everyone knew that GWBush was the chimp :/

The response is he's never been a problem for us.

I remember that game and I agree, although any player that hasn't been part of too many matchday squads tends to shine, less Pardew effect.

The strip looks like a geometric interpretation of someone throwing a can of black paint at the neck of a white shirt and then slapping wonga on top.

So what's the point in walking out at all then :/

Just so we're on the same page, it has nothing to do with the financial impact (or lack of) as the club makes only an insignificant percentage of income from ST sales compared to its total gross turnover (See TV Money). Ashley doesn't want a stadium plastered in SD livery to be empty on television - damages the brand. This is why walking out, staying away etc. is the best form of attack.
