Said something similar last week. We won't attract a big name manager, but that's not how we do things anymore. I'd be well up for seeing us take a punt on a relative unknown from the continent, I'd be interested to see who Carr would recommend.

Blaming Carver.

Sounds like we were even worse than I thought we'd be... Something needs to change, and it needs to change soon.

My first time in St. James' Park.

Not even contemplated bothering to stay up for this. 2AM kick off isn't ideal, but I work afternoons so it'd be easily doable. Just not arsed until we're a team that actually tries to play football. The results have been shit but they're not the big issue. If I woke up tomorrow to see we'd lost 2-1 and people on here were saying we actually passed it really well and created chances and deserved to win the game I'd actually be pleased despite the loss. I'm guessing it'll be an awful game decided by one side getting a bit of good fortune. Hopefully it'll be us.

Wow. Just fucking wow. I can't believe I just read that. Winning headers and running faster? That's his solution to our problems this year? Fucking stunning thing for him to say.

That's fucking magnificent.

Hardly even paying attention to him. If he came in and looked good in this team he'd be a fucking hero.

I don't think it's as open and shut as you make it out to be tbh. I agree Ashley wants to run the club on the cheap but I also don't think he's going to be happy to just stay in the Premiership, playing shit football along the way. He's not going to be bringing in any big transfer fees for players if our players look absolutely clueless out there either. How much would Cisse have gone for in the summer? Now compare it to how much he'd go for now, after spending three months looking like Ali Dia out there due to us looking fucking clueless?

I think the idea that we wouldn't be able to attract a good manager is wrong by the way. We wouldn't be able to get a British manager, but who wants one of those anyway? I reckon there'd be plenty of good managers who'll look at the quality of players we've been able to bring in these last few years and think they'd love a shot at building a team with them. It's not likely to be a big name manager, but there'll be plenty of quality young managerial prospects on the continent who'd be willing to come here and work under the current system. It's a case of Ashley being willing to take the risk.

I dont care about us at the moment. Woke up and my choice was between finding a stream for the last half an hour of this or watching the NFL. Happy thanksgiving everyone!! (except Pardew, I hope his turkey has AIDS)

Just woke up, sounds like a cracking game.

Suck the back of my balls you useless set of cunts.

Lost faith in him tbh. Wasn't this his exact shtick at his previous clubs? Do well for a while, then the wheels completely come off on his second year? Not gonna start calling for his head or anything, deserves a chance to turn it around. I don't think he will though.

Quality defending from Shola there, snuffed out that danger brilliantly.

He's no worse than most of the others tbh.

Yay.

If it was an NFL game you would have loved it. It was like the 50's. Fuck you, brah. This brah shit has got to stop.

Simpson. What a useless cunt.

Reading the thread and seeing that people think this is a big improvement on West Ham last week... So fucking happy I missed that game.

I really fucking hate how boring we are.

Pack of two-bit wankers. Hope he quits international football, that'll show the stupid cunts.

Williamson man. We're so depressingly shite.
