lovejoy

time to bump given the mail and mirror articles! here we go again!

Think he'll prove to be a good singing.

sidwell, shelvey, bent. Pardew is recruiting allies, regardless of age or ability.

Luke Shaw to man utd has stalled apparently.

Sam Allardyce? Souness? This twat beats them both, by a distance man.

in depth article!

Surely no way the turnover will be that big? I can't remember ever experiencing a window like that, much less under Ashley. Understand that point but there's quite a few due to go without even thinking too hard about it: - Jonas - Shola - Remy - Gosling - HBA - Obertan - Marv There's 7 without allowing for good bids or players wanting away (Debuchy possibly?) It's going to be quite the summer for changes I reckon. Just a shame the coaching staff and manager will still be here come August. My fear is we replace the bulk of them with english grafters like Colback etc. Edit - We're also too light on squad numbers so the 8-9 incoming that Lovejoy mentioned, has to be a good bet given those leaving. ignore my response, this one sums it up better!

I can't remember ever experiencing a window like that, much less under Ashley. i would usually say the same, but: marv ben arfa obertan remy de jong jonas theres 6 before we even star on the likes of debuchy, krul and the loanees who are currently out, and probably wont be back. we'll have the biggest turnover in my time as a fan this summer i think.

I agree with Dave. We'll spend, more than we have done in recent years. Won't make a difference though, the manager is a useless cunt. My prediction is around 7 or 8 will leave, and 9 or 10 will come in, with an emphasis on English.

The luxury coach almost certainly happened, I can remember reading about it in The Chronicle at the time he bought it for £750,000. wow!

will laugh like fuck if he walks, would really like us to take him as well.

Keegan and him were mates if my memory is any good, didn't the Sultan buy us a new coach when Keegan was manager and took the players over to his country? there was def a link, not sure on the coach tale though?

Would be dreamland stuff that. There was always a rumour about the Sultan of Brunei when he was about, wasnt there? Imagine! The same sultan that's just enforced sharia law on his country? No thanks. he loves the toon though! so, swings and roundabouts and all that!

Couldnt agree more, I go to bed every night (sad as fuck I know) looking forward to what the next day will bring in terms of shit being thrown at them. Im even more excited about our games than I have been in two years in the hope that we'll get the hiding of a fucking lifetime, which tells you all you need to know about where we are at present.

dont care what anyone says, i'd give my right fucking arm for him to be our gaffer again.

In contrast, a good few stoke fans on the forum appear to absolutely despise Pulis. so, in short, i've spent an hour on other forums and discovered sweet fuck all of any note.

if his name was 'Allardici' he'd have already had it, twice. According to him anyway, the fat fucking mess.

reading the palace forums, Pulis has palace playing some decent stuff. the football we were playing in the second half at Cardiff and during the Chelsea game shows his perceived 'anti football' style is nonsense. we were playing short crisp passing, going from one end to another very quickly and getting down the wings. Take the move against Chelsea, with Ward breaking down the left, feeding it into Jerome (?) who slots it over to Puncheon, who produces superb skill to beat his man and fire in a shot. Did the ball go in the air once? Yes, but only because JP used some supreme tekkers to beat the left back. people got whipped up in the media conjecture and also the stuff arm chair fans spout about Pulis, for those of us that go to the games, I've found the football ten times more satisfying to watch than the opening 10 games (regardless of results). Finally we are not naive, we try to take every advantage we can get and play as a team. Spot on, and bar one or two exceptions we haven't played any more long balls under Pulis than we did under IH or under Dougie before 'that 8 game run'. I've been impressed with just how effective our play has been at times and the counter attacking style has been fast and purposeful. Whilst Dougie may have been reading books on 'how to control the game without the ball' - we might just have a manager who wrote the bloody thing!

he's not known as 'stella mick' for nowt. proper piss head.

this needs its own thread, surely?

Redknapp? he could well leave QPR this season, is well known to/mates with Graham Carr and MA has gone for him before?

As mick says, that should be sent to every media outlets possible. How anyone can defend pardew after reading that is beyond me.

Superb that wullie, best nufc article I've read in a long time. Brilliant read and brilliantly put together. You should apply for Lee ryders job.

Have to say, he comes across as a great bloke, which, in itself is a massive upgrade on the cunt we've got
