Mick

I think he's only touched the ball twice.

A cross is played towards Shola who just stands waiting for it to arrive, typically shite.

I have no doubt in my mind that a team in a competitive European league would have him, wages would probably be the only stumbling block. While he's been treated in an absolutely terrible fashion over the last year, moving to Qatar would speak real volumes of him and how he approaches his career, IMO. Just stinks of a money-driven move, if it comes off It could also "stink" of a footballer wanting to play games if it does come off and is the only acceptable offer.

I would retire tomorrow if I was old enough, I'd rather do the garden than work, not that I would anyway. What's the point of having kids if you have to work in the garden? I tell them to cut the grass and they do it as I've trained them to do as I say and not as I do. Anyway, I hate Pardew.

The one that is or was at the top is the only one that needs reading.

With a bit of luck he'll be gone by Christmas, I hope he fails miserably but we're in a position to get over him.

He's been out of the limelight far too long, I wonder if he's got any new excuses for the new season or if he's going to recycle his usual bullshit?

I might be mistaken but I could have sworn Pardew couldn't come out of his dug-out during our last home game, care to enlighten us how Newcastle-Online managed that one?

If his lips move he's lying, his lips moved, he lied.

No, he was the one waving the white flag.

I would love to smack him in the face with a heavy duty garden spade.

It will have been said with far more aggression when you said it.

Has he also chinned you?

I hope you feel proud, he probably went home and took it out on his lass.

Surely not you too?

He's obviously been trying to keep it quiet and OzzieMandias has somehow managed to work out what was actually happening, well done to Ozzie for spotting the signs that others were unaware of. The good thing now though is that Interpolic can get help and his girlfriend can now begin to get her life back, bit by bit although it will probably be a long journey for both as trust can take a long time to re-build.

You probably though that she was out with her mates, it's not your fault that you couldn't see what was happening behind closed doors and away from the public glare.

If you haven't even started hitting her then you can't claim to have stopped.

Who said that?

Same here, I think he'd sign if offered another year.

BT Sport have it.

It was the same in 1976 when we lost in the League Cup, I was at both and spent hours waiting to get in.

I don't know how they can come up with the stat's they have to justify not trying in the cups, stupid bastards.

Our club couldn't have less ambition if they tried.
