Mick

Actually, he was.

Perfectly summed up.

If and when Ashley goes, I'd love us to be owned by somebody or something that wanted to build success. I'd take a Chelsea or Man City takeover because I'm sick of winning nowt but building up the club would be much better.

West Ham at home was as dull as dish water and that shouldn't be expected or accepted. Man City away, we didn't even bother to turn up which was the problem, not that we didn't come away with anything, it was the manner of the defeat.

Have a go at them and we can get something, try to contain them and we could get mauled.

By this time last season we'd played four of those awful European games that got in the way so much and our league record was: Played 7, Won 2, Drawn 3, Lost 2, For 8, Against 11, GD -3, Points 9, Pos 10th. This season we have no distraction and usually have a week to prepare for games, our record is: Played 7, Won 3, Drawn 1, Lost 3, For 9, Against 12, GD -3 Points 10, Pos 11th.

You're absolutely nuts man, I mentioned an improvement in the 2 line post you quoted but don't let that get in the way of whatever crap you want to post.

Looks like you've found your fool, bimpy.. In all seriousness, what is this obsession with judging a manager on series of entire matches of positive, dominant carpet football? There's not a single team in the Premier League that has played 630 minutes of it, and in reality I don't believe any manager at any time in the history of NUFC will have only known dominance and splendid football for matches on end. Top level football is more often than not far to finely poised for one team to be able to dominate for 90 minutes, so the difference between success and failure becomes taking whatever chances you create effectively and organised defending without concentration lapses. Personally, I believe we have seen quite a few periods in matches where we have been dominant for quite long stretches, and have created a fair few more chances than last season. There are certainly signs of improvement, to deny so is just churlish. You didn't have to quote me to prove to Bimpy that he'd found his fool.

I think you might just be OK on that score.

It's not even our expectation though is it? It's hope, expectations are a thing of the past.

He didn't play in the home game which we lost 0-6, he did in the away game which we drew 1-1, even with him going off with about 5 minutes to go. I'd rather he played than didn't.

Pardew is talking shit either way, we had enough to beat Brighton and couldn't get a draw.

Have I got this right? The football has been good when Remy has been in the team apart from when it hasn't been good.

Our season so far has been little different to last other than less kick and rush. We've played the hoofball but a lot less and that should be recognised, other than that, it's more of the same.

I didn't think he played that many, that's a bit of a surprise.

You either need to go to Specsavers or you didn't watch us against Man City, West Ham, Hull after the first 15 or 20 minutes or the first half against Everton.

Whatever the reason, his comfort blanket was removed.

I hate graphs and I've said it before, I spend far too much time while getting paid to look at them to spend free time doing the same.

The fact is that we have a shit manager who shouldn't be anywhere near the club, anything else makes no difference. As for the shitty graphs, I don't know if they are facts because I don't look at them in enough detail, I see the graph and move on.

I think you know where you can shove your shitty graphs.

Na, Coloccini is shit, we'll win now. Imagine if we do.

You would have to be virtually over 60 to have played with Paul Cannell, never mind over 50. His song says everything that needs to be said about him.

Rightly or wrongly, you do look as if you let them get to you.

I don't think you're massively wrong, his bullshit goes two ways. He's trying to tell everybody that he's doing a good job and it's in his interest if Ashley thinks that he's doing a good job with what he's got. Ashley clearly doesn't think he's doing a good job and that's why he's wrongly brought a dinosaur back in to the club at the cost of his mate Llambias.

The ref's were shit when I played, I once got my neck studded and didn't get a free-kick.
