I'm not expecting Pards to give away his tactical masterplan that he's been hatching to tear wolves apart (like we did with stoke!..ahem!) but what are the bets that if Guthrie is starting he'll be played on the right and not in the middle?!!!

Twas April 30th 1988. Playing Oxford Utd at home. Won 3-1. Can't remember much about the actual game itself but we won which all that mattered to this 10yr old! Don't remember who scored but checking the stats it was Lormor, O'Neill and Goddard. Remember getting some autographs from the players as the got out their cars (with sponsorship details emblazoned on the sides!) behind the Milburn Stand. My dad took me and we stood in the Milburn paddock right across from the away fans. No pishy family enclosure for us!:-) If I can recall they were already relegated so had banners with stuff like 'good luck in the 2nd division' etc. My main memory apart from those of my dad who's no longer with us is being in absolute awe of the madhouse which was the Gallowgate end. Always used to say when I grew up that's where I wanted to be!

Thanks. Not that I'm saying the decision to renew is purely dependant on it but it would be nice to see some indication of the direction in which the club is moving before signing up. I suppose the good thing is if the summer is full of false promises we can tell them to shove it next Feb.

Apologies if this has been covered in previous posts but is there a deadline for signing up this 10 year offer?

That is BRILLIANT! That is f***ing fantastic! When I die I want that to be last thing I hear!

Seconded!

I know I'm probably opening myself up to loads of abuse but I actually rate Lovenkrands despite 'indifferent' performances this season. I think we came up from the fizzy poppers and was surprised at how good Carroll was so we played a style to suit that individual. Carroll was so dominant in the air that if he didn't stick his nonce on it and score, he would pull a couple of defenders with him and the ball could fall to Nolan for a tap in etc. I just don't think we've got anyone who is nearly as aerially strong as AC was. Suppose I'm trying to defend the forwards and say the midfield should shoulder some responsibility if our forwards aren't scoring goals.

Fuck Fuck Fuck!!! Just logged on to internet. So this actually happened then and I wasn't just having a really bad nightmare?! Pardew can take a run and jump...his post match excuses were laughable and his apology was about as sincere as a politicians.

They deserved the win more than we did which is something I feel sick typing when talking about a League 2 team! At least bbc will have something else to add to their FA cup title sequence instead of "that goal". We're gonna get reminded of this at every opportunity.

We're fucked now. Was optimistic we'd get one goal after watching the first half. Can't see this lot scoring two.

Wonder if the spuds will want to try and buy him too?!

Just seen stats comparing Barton with Noble. Barton pissing all over him.

CH was/is a genius!! What a buy Best is turning out to be!

Excuse my ignorance on such matters but when does the referee hand in his match report? If the ref wanted to be a devious little bastard could he not watch the highlights on telly, then add the incident into his report?

I'd be a tad pissed off at Barton should he decide to tuck tail and run. He owes us big time and a handful of great performances this season doesn't clear that debt..... now if the powers that be decide to cash him in that's another matter....

If Barton and Nolan are playing we stand a small chance but if not, our back up players are not up to the task of stopping a resurgent 'pool.

That's the one! Whatever happened to him? Is there actually in fact two Alan F**king Pardew's in the world and MA has got confused? Kinda like when you search by name in facebook and get a whole list back. You mean the Alan Pardew who won the Champions League with Real Madrid? Easy mistake to make.

I want us to stuff them. I want SJP to a like a bear pit with us intermidating the scousers, making it clear our feelings towards Mike Ashley and scaring the shit out of Pardew that he'll shit himself and cry like a bitch and quit.

Just watched the press conference.... F**K me!!! Where to begin with this cretin! So far up his own arse. Making himself out to be a man for taking the job on. Just f**K off back to whatever hovel you came out of.

Welcome to NUFC. There's the exit.... now f**K off!

Without a shadow of a doubt!! I hate the fat f**ker for making me feel guilty (for the effect it might have on this great group of lads we have) about contemplating giving up my season ticket when it's 100% completely his fault!!

Voted 'NO'. Will wait to see what the players reaction is but can see this being my last as a season ticket holder.

I'm so close to handing my season ticket back. Pardew - you're not wanted here. Get the fuck away from our club!

Jobs for the boys again!! replacing CH with someone who left/sacked/resigned from a 2nd division side?!! How's this an improvement?!
