Penalties it is like.

Good luck for the future Danny.

I would be very disappointed if that turned out to be true.

I wouldn't be happy either to see a cunt wear the club's most valued/revered number.

26 pages and nothing of note from him bar a few Europa League cameos. Ah well.

Ever since his solid performance against Blackburn in the FA Cup a couple of seasons ago, I had high hopes for this lad - he looked solid, composed and unfazed by it all but it looks like it just wasn't to be. Best of luck to him wherever he ends up.

Maybe, just maybe, the negative reaction he's going to get from the fans during this meeting will be enough to make him resign from his post... Fingers crossed.

It's just that Abeid's performance against Blackburn in January 2012 filled me with hope that he would make it...

Shame about Abeid if true like. Really liked the lad, guess it wasn't to be.

Include the tongue-cutting scene please. But Oldboy Kinnear would come out stronger than ever. At least he won't be able to talk. Just imagine what a bonus that will be. This will benefit everyone. I say let's do it.

So if we have indeed given him an office, can't we just lock him in there for 3 years (almost like in Oldboy?). Black out all the windows and all that too?

I would say the latter, especially after that email thing he did at Brighton, think they want him out ASAP. You don't suspend a manager unless you want him out imo.

Quite the giveaway.

Mainly because they want Wenger in 2014 when his Arsenal contract runs out, so they are just offering coaches one year, any coach worth his salt will more likely reject that offer. So they got Blanc, someone who needs to prove himself again after the France debacle and not really in the position to reject a PSG job. What this should mean though is the Ancelotti to Madrid and Higuain to Arsenal deals are tied up pretty quickly. Blanc did a cracking job at Bordeaux like. A return to Ligue 1 is probably what he needs but don't think a short-term role will benefit him at all.

Only ever been to Shearer's once for a pre-match pint. Was all a bit meh tbh but can't help but feel that St James' has lost a little more of its soul (and that's mainly down to the bar being the only sort of "tribute" to Big Al at the stadium).

Such extensive football knowledge from our Director of Football.

I sincerely apologise in advance

I actually toyed with the idea that Wise would be no worse than Kinnear...think I'm going to regret having such thoughts...

Pardew is going to break eventually. His ego is, more than likely, going to lead him to walk...

Can't say I'm particularly arsed that he's gone. He's really not done anything of note apart from lying to/slagging off the fans (the "you don't know how terrible we can be" line). Always seemed to be a cunt. But having said that, we're now left with only Kinnear at the helm...

How it should be.

City away aside, not a bad for our opening fixtures...

A fight to the death it is.

Ah well. That's (presumably) our number 1 target well and truly gone. Next.
