We should all get Bane voice modulators and beat the piss out of him. "You should have started Hatem Ben Arfa, Mister Pahhdew." "A man's football club is his life, Mister Pahhdew."

Blaming the Stoke keeper for making saves was good stuff.

When was the last time someone who isn't shit and English spoke up for him?

Skirge man, fucking hell. Nice lad but he and his ilk are the lifeblood of the Ashley and Pardew regime.

Be class if Liverpool beat us like 12-0 on the last day to win the title on GD.

Good stuff. Think Hatem's gone sadly, just hope he wrecks the place before leaving.

Hope the Ben Arfa stuff ruins his night's sleep. Then he gets mauled by a big, rapey dog on his way to work in the morning.

Hope we get fucking creamed tbh.

Bet that sounds awesome in Italian. The accompanying hand gesture is fantastic.

Fuck this cunt. May he die alone, screaming.

The Hull game where we lost 3-2 and Hatem scored 2 OG's and gave away a penalty and two throws?

Oh, we got killed? With the team we started?? How??

Just seen the team.

I'm sure Carroll didn't think twice about leaving, can't blame him in retrospect either. His stock has plummeted since then though, of course he'd be back in a flash if he had the chance.

Think he's more than good enough technically, given what else he offers. Attitude, price tag and durability are my concerns. If we could get him cheapish he's more than good enough for our level of "ambition", issues aside.

We should have put more intelligence into this banner.

Don't think Robert would have done much under Pardew. He had runs where he'd do nothing for a few games, like pretty much any flair player. He'd have been dropped, especially if Pardew had the squad we had then. Speed or Dyer on the left, I'd guess. Even with our current squad he'd be frozen out, people really think a clown like Pardew would get performances from a player like Robert?

The League of Nations.

I've always imagined that he shows them video montages of starving children in third world countries at half time, glum music playing softly in the background. Our players always look heartbroken coming back after half time.

"No more coal!!"

Some people say ya know we can't believe Jamaica have a football team!

Good post. None of this will happen though, sadly. Maybe scrapping the Europa League and expanding the CL. The big clubs control the power and have no interest in doing things for the good of the game.

Just seen this. Seems a bit shit, was inevitable though. Best of luck to him if he does go.

A 'no comment' would be read into and twisted I'm sure, at least if be did it now given his history of commenting on speculation. If he did it consistently over an extended period of time though I'd imagine after a while people would get the message. You'd still have some people looking to twist it every time, but I couldn't envisage them getting much traction with it. I've long given up listening to a word the man says about anything though.
