Unbelievable

Everything about this preseason, starting from the non sacking of Pardew, is just a massive, massive

Getting plenty of set penis practice. Seems to be paying off too..

The Entertainers are back alright!

HBA kills someone with a ball to the face

What the fuck man Colo

Half the players not being played in their proper position doesn't help matters like, but this is shit, absolute horse poo..

It's reassuring to see we seem to have worked on our weaknesses from last season...

Huh? Mbiwa was probably the main culprit, yet you don't even mention him...

Unreal. If his surname was anything else (say Vuckic, Abeid or Ferguson) people would be excited to see what a promising youngster coming back from loan could do in a meaningless pre-season game..

Incredibly frustrating to see first Colo and now Cisse effectively refusing to play for the club, whatever their motives and whether they are in the right or not.

Not pace.... agility he was a lot more agile when he first joined and it allowed him to get past people a bit easier. He's lost all that now, you don't really lose pace unless your an utter moron.

Regardless of his motives, he refuses to fucking wear the shirt of our club. That's all that needs debating/resolving tbh.

Happy with this providing we get a left winger in for the first team, of which I am not at all confident.

Incompetent manager. Just after he finished 5th. Tit. Pardew had another three or four years on his contract at that point. There was absolutely no need to offer him an eight year one. Also, I have defended Pardew on here more than most, but if you want to put your trust in someone long term for the sake of stability, Pardew is not that man by any reasonable measure, fifth place or no fifth place. I mean, what exactly are his credentials for long term, sustainable improvement over time at any club?

He cares enough to give an incompetent manager a long term contract never seen before in football and appoint a buffoon as a DoF/next manager, then another one as his "assistant" to meddle with the one area that was arguably working reasonably well for us, all out of sheer spite.

We're stuck with him until some rich Arab, Russian or Asian takes a fancy to us. Until such a time, the best we can hope for is we manage to stay in the Premiership to make us an attractive proposition. Another relegation would be disastrous, as we are far from guaranteed to come straight back up.

Thanks Mike

Interesting.. Sounds entirely feasible based on how he's run the club since he's bought it.

Nah, even our lot aren't that stupid surely..

Some positive news at last, even if it isn't earth shattering.

Ikon did 2 posts before me..

Good luck to the lad. Will he be first choice at Hull?
