What do you mean by that?

We made something like a £7 million transfer profit during the first year Bobby was with us, I remember him getting rid of Ferguson, Howey, Maric and Pistone for good money and I remember not believing how he'd managed to get so much for those 4.

Bobby hardly had a pot to piss in when he first arrived and had to get players off the books.

I wonder where we'd be now if Shepherd had kept his mouth shut about Bobby leaving and had allowed him to find his replacement instead. Things would have been totally different now because that was the start of the slide, Bobby out and Souness in.

Bobby generated a load of cash by taking us to the champions league.

He wasn't Chairman for the full season when we finished 2nd, John Hall was the chairman at the start of the season. His 2nd part season saw us finish 13th, if my memory is any good he became chairman during December 1997 and was out on his ear early in 1998 because of the News of the World story.

He wasn't too trigger happy at all, he was good at hiring shite managers.

Brilliant if true.

No chance, him Ashley are both shit for different reasons.

He's rightly getting shit from most people now, most people think he's a joke and he's been well and truly sussed out.

#124, he's a former season ticket holder.

Pardew: "Mark Hughes comes from Wales, Wales is a sovereign state so we couldn't compete." Interviewer: "Alan, Wales isn't a sovereign state, it's a principality." Pardew: "OK, Wales is a principality, we couldn't compete."

0-0 bore draw and it will be hailed as a World Cup win.

I hope he was thinking about jumping.

Every game and every single utterance from the club justifies me throwing the towel in after this season.

It's almost as if Pardew has a song in mind. "Blame it on the sunshine, blame it on the moonlight."

People spouting shit is part of the reason the fraud is still here because others read it as the truth.

The manager wasn't in the dug-out and probably escaped because of that.

I think the booing was for the decision as much as anything.

This for me was the absolute worst thing that happened on Saturday. How this one substitution wasn't followed by howls of exasperation from the home fans, and shouts of "Pardew Out/You don't know what you're doing", I'll never know. This one hopeless useless substitution perfectly sums Al Pards up for the fraud that he is. GTFO man ffs. Shola was boo'd onto the pitch.

He 100% was.

"We are lacking a bit of quality at the moment and we are trying to get that on the pitch." Gosling, you're starting today.

“Goalscoring is an area where we’re trying to think of a couple of ideas, a couple of things in the team to try and help us get a goal.” Hatem, you're on the bench, Sylvain, you're staying at home.

The fraud before Man U. “There are a lot of excuses for us, but the excuses are irrelevant. We’re at home, we’re Newcastle United and we’ve got a team that’s good enough. We’ve got to try and win the game.” The fraud after Man U. “The most important thing is the injuries have had a real impact on the team. You do not have to be a genius to work that out."

He's taking the p*ss.
