  1. Hoddle as head coach would be a good appointment, thats his strength - not the transfer market. It might actually just work
  2. A chap having a go at Ashley on Talksport this morning, saying he thought he was a good businessman. Now I'm sure he meant to say he had a bit of nounce about him, but it was either a brilliant drop of the u or an unfortunate mispronunciation, because thats not exactly what came out of his mouth
  3. I love it when a plan comes together. Do we know if the banner shows 6 in a row yet?
  4. Had another 3 on after 6.30, all 3 team hatem and a shout out for Sylvain. Shame nobody ever pulls the mullins and harewood over tevez and mascherano card.
  5. 9 points clear with 3 games to go. Biggest bottle job ever? (appearently games in hand don't count when talking about points gaps like this, or at least they didn't in 96)
  6. With 3 games to go, Liverpool were 9 points clear, looks like they are going to blow it. wonderful
  7. Is Bendtner fit for this? He has a pretty decent record against us and we need someone to take over the Walcott role hear. Also a Kalstrom screamer would go down a treat. Just hope Pardew goes before Liverpool, no matter how bad it is thats one team I can never even half want to beat us, for whatever reason
  8. Chelsea without Cech and Terry = Liverpool win unfortunately. I went from pissing myself at the thought of Terry missing another Champs League final to 'oh shit its given Liverpoo the league' in around 20 seconds last night. The first aspect of that thought probably outweighs the second though
  9. Was watching My Sporting Heroes where Steve Harminson was interviewing Kev. Comparing today's Newcastle with that under Kev (and even before) is like taking two completely different teams, from different sports and different cities. Its frightening how much the whole ethos of the club has changed in the past few years
  10. yup, but we're bloody good at frustrating. just a shame its usually the fans and not the opposition
  11. So he's basically Srnicek but slightly better at crosses (although Pav did get better at those over time). Shot stopping is the most basic keeper skill, most people can look good at shot stopping as long as they aint afraid of the ball, its the positioning and timing that makes a good keeper, and Hart is c+ at best in those aspects
  12. Gerrard, or more specifically Mrs Gerrard are right in with a shady lot in Liverpool. Lets just put it this way, Stevie G doesn't celebrate Shrove Tuesday
  13. True, but only if it has a repayment schedule attached to it - no reason why it couldn't just attract interest but never be paid down
  14. I did find it a little odd that at the weekend we had 3 players on loan from Man City and Chelsea playing for the other 2 teams who ended the weekend in the top 4. Loans should be banned for any player over 21 (cut off based purely on the fact that we have an u21 international distinction) imo, I reckon this would actually help reduce the transfer fees of average to decent players overall by sucking the demand out of the market from the team who like to stockpile players. Anyway, hopefully Chelsea manage to park that bus in a way only Mourinho can Oh and hold on to those tickets - you'll get 10 x that should the scousers still be in with a good shout going into the week of the game
  15. Thats always been the case, even if it hasnt been explicitly said out loud its an obvious trade off thats been discussed for a few years on here. fwiw the lost revenue is more or less equal to the interest that would be charged on the loan so apart from the tacky advertising boards the club isnt really losing out in this particular case
  16. I've voted Swansea, then remembered that they've got us on Saturday which gives them the 3 points they will need. Got a sneaky suspicion Norwich will get a win from somewhere to keep them safe
  17. Whatever the nightmare scenario may be, I think its fairly safe to assume that Kinnear won't be back after his display as DoF. I could actually see Ashley going for a young foreign manager this time, or Hoddle
  18. Scousers are a special breed - just not in the way that they think they are!
  19. The media love in with Liverpool this week is definitely cementing my view that either City or Chelsea would be preferable winners
  20. Don't forget - 'oh yeah and lets not mention that 2 of the 4 games are at The Emirates and Anfield. Go win me some games Hataaaaam'
  21. Someone like Mansour perhaps (actually I 100% think we would now have Aguero playing upfront for us now if Ashley hadn't bought the club)
  22. Ashley's to blame for Pardew... but a decent manager with the players he's had at his disposal would still have us caring about the club and optimistic for the future. Therefore for now I'll blame the coward in a managers coat
  23. I was being sarcastic. For what it's worth I hope dogs shit on his corpse. That's too kind, horse shit would be preferable
