What is with all the paper on the pitch?

I love how our ambitions are to solidify our place in the top 5/6, while theirs is STILL trying to simply finish above us

Absolutely, but Pards to his credit got some good results with us in the closing stages of the season which helped, if Rodgers gets the results at the start he'll do well winning a few fans over, but he has a massive job at Liverpool. The rot was setting in even when Benetiz was manager. Sorting out Liverpool is going to take time, a shit load of time too if their ambitions are the top 4. For us Pards came in to a Newcastle side well on it's way to a new start. The shite had been shipped out and replaced with good players who all contributed to a fantastic team spirit and togetherness at NUFC, it would have been a different story had Pardew taken over from Keegan for example, which is similar to the state Liverpool are in albeit not as bad. Liverpool fans need a massive reality check and it just won't come quick enough for Rodgers as they'll be on his back the second the results don't go their way and they drift further and further behind Arsenal, Chelsea and the two Manchester clubs. It's up to the owners really, I think Rodgers could do well there if they ignore the fans and stick by him for a couple of years while he rebuilds.

For me I don't think the jobs are the right ones, in terms of club size absolutely, but not at this moment in time. Rodgers in particular is going in to a club that will take at the very very least one full season to sort out and that kind of time frame may not be given to him. Liverpool is without doubt a tempting job to take as it's a massive club, but he needs to realise that if he isn't in the top 4 at Christmas he will be under immense pressure and could well lose his job before the season is out, which could have a huge effect on his reputation. Lambert might get a lot more time at Villa as their fans might well settle for mid table next year anyway.

Lennon will be like Sir Alex I reckon. Will do about 25 years at Celtic.

Has there ever been a pre season as mental as this in the Premier League when it comes to managers? About 6 clubs will have new managers already.

I watched an old episode of 1v100 on Challenge like 2 days ago and she was on that as well

How can Palace get money for him if he is out of contract?

Some of the shit Rihanna comes out with is hilarious, she really doesn't give a fuck. I don't even follow her yet I'm constantly seeing some of her mad shit retweeted.

Still sickens me that we got fuck all for Given.

McShane :lol: Reminds me of this: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Paul-McShane-is-the-only-player-left-who-can-stop-the-messi-menace/111267895567347

I can picture him now sitting somewhere having a beer and laughing his head off.

If he considered himself a professional footballer surely he'd want to actually play football, regardless of the wage? Can't see how people can say he's a great professional when he chooses not to play. Depends really, what is he on here, like 60k a week? Surely the likes of MK Dons could only afford about 10 to 20k a week? It's a considerable drop in wages, especially when he hasn't got many years in his playing career left. I'd like to think that a player exists in the top flight who would slash his wages like that for the sake of playing every weekend, but I don't think there is one. How many of us would do that in his shoes?

I'm not surprised he stayed here for so long despite not getting any game time. Why would he leave to get paid considerably less wages? He has to think of his future and he can secure himself and his family for the rest of his life with the money he was picking up here. Would you leave your job to go to another for a lot less money? For us fans it is sickening that the club is hemorrhaging money on the likes of Smith, but you can't blame him for staying really when the alternatives are clubs like MK Dons.

Nice to see Bear Grylls volunteering as referee.

How has Shearer never won that?

Jonathan Wilkes

Of course he thinks that. He won't look at the goals or injuries, he'll look at his list of former clubs: Liverpool Real Madrid Newcastle Man Utd Reads far too well for that useless cunt. The money he has made over the years as well, honestly disgusting.

"Being said in Amsterdam" Fucking ears everywhere, proper ITKs Spurs like.
