Ask him if he feels under pressure for having a worse record in League and Cup then the person who was sacked so that he could be given his job, after having to wait since early November for him to get the sack.

Barton moves like he's 10 years younger.

Fixed.

I think he has something against playing our younger players, look at the team he played against Stevenage.

I don't understand his reason/opinion, if you're good enough then that's all that should matter and Ferguson either is or isn't good enough.

That was a sarcastic piss take, we knew he was crap.

Sorry but

OK.

At least one manager since Keegan has claimed he had final say which suggests that the club made a mistake and learned from it. No manager since has said that he didn't and nobody within the club has either. I would be more likely to agree with you if it wasn't for that.

You said "result," not him. Anyway it's not really worth dragging this one out.

We have no idea what is or isn't true, you can't blame the fans for that.

So how is it a result if we stay up this season but possibly not next season?

They did intentionally mislead, that was proven.

I'm not sure, it's probably better for the manager if we do because him bullshitting about it would be worse than it being true.

Do you think we'll stay up next season if we don't spend?

Is it more money than necessary? I doubt it.

It is appauling on the part of Ashley. Pardew's a puppet. Puppets don't bite back at their owners. I didn't say he was a decent man, but being a c*** doesn't make him to blame. Didn't Kinnear being given final say get used at the same tribunal?

We've now got £35 million to spend and I don't see why we wouldn't have had money to spend in the summer if we hadn't got the Carroll money.

Is that £12 million you've mentioned for N'Zogbia a low fee?

Why wouldn't we have signed Ben Arfa in the summer?

I believe that he was allowed to spend money, especially when we did spend money that we didn't have to at that time.

We spent money, that isn't an issue, how it was used is.

I posted direct quotes from Pardew earlier in the thread, he could have been talking crap, I have no idea if he was or not. If he was then it's his own fault that it's held against him, not mine.

Whatever you said is irrelevant really, we did spend money when we didn't have to, we parted with something in the region of £5 million that could have been put to better use for the present. It's like me spending on next week’s tea while I have nothing for today’s dinner.
