Unbelievable

What the fuck, this is happening..

Nice one

Aye, can't imagine they no anything..

No way did Sessegnon mean that..

That defending..

Good goal Larsson

That O'Neill mini me kid..

Dat Pullis

Hazard. Wow.

What the fuck was Walters doing there..?

How was that a penalty anyway? Mariner FFS

Good finish that from Walters

Walters starts the match off by hitting the ball into his own face..

These sort of quotes really worry me. Loads of us could see what a tidy player Marveuax was from a few minutes last season. To be fair just about every quote about or from Pardew seems to worry you.. I don't think his handling of Marveaux has been so bad, giving him plenty of time to get back to match fitness after a number of serious injuries. We were all frustrated when he seemed to do the same with Hatem last season, yet was complimented later by the player for his handling of the affair.

Which wouldn't be so bad obviously. The problem is there is no way we would get two, so if/when Taylor is injured again it's back to square one except this time with a defender trying to find his feed in the team/league in place of Colo. Very worrying indeed.

Aye, as if any of those wouldn't laugh us in the face and tell us to build a squad rather than hold our hand up..

Alex Ferguson? Seriously James?

Is he? Course not, this is Stifler we're talking about..

Well, if he really doesn't want to be here we may not literally have "no choice", but that's certainly what it boils down to in practical terms..

Mark Douglas ‏@MsiDouglas #nufc face a major battle to hang onto captain. One source suggesting they have little choice but let him go. Now who blinks first?

Not many of our players are playing to their ability though, which is partly but not completely down to Pardew/tactics

I'm not. While I think Colo is bang out of order in asking for a move after penning a new deal, it's hardly a surprise players are getting disillusioned with our haphazard playing style and results. Ben Arfa will be next unless things change sooner rather than later. It's like the players themselves have no influence whatsoever on the playing style, performances and results... The players need to pull their socks up and start playing to their ability. Instead, our esteemed captain decides now would be a good time to declare he wants to leave.

Completely different type of player. I would have said Colo to us right now is worth at a minimum the 10 million we paid to get him in the first place. Even that wouldn't be enough to replace everything he offers, but at least that would give us a chance of replacing like for like, maybe even with a younger player with more resale value down the line since that is what Ashley & Co like. Can't thank of anybody who fits that mould and would come here though, so we'd be royally f***ed. not sure San Lorenzo could give us any fee at all for him Hence why we should nipped this in the butt when they first started ti unsettle the player. Colo's behaviour in all of this, and especially his deafening silence, is no better than anything Ba has done in recent weeks to get his move to a bigger club.

Just thinking, what will Santon make of all this, as he's apparently quite close to Colo and attracting interest from his home country..? Sigh.
