Quite clever of the knife to make itself a twitter account and take selfies.

You'd never get away with Win Nowt up here (even though NUFC have been doing it for years, fnar)

I know him

Logging out

It'll be someone else next. I am absolutely 100% convinced AP is on a bonus for % profit on transfers. I really would love to know where this daft notion came from apart from ridiculous paranoia Here's where it comes from................ AP is pretty much the worst paid manager in the top tier. MA pays all of his key staff bonuses based on performance in every single one of his businesses. It has been widely reported that MA has given AP an 'incentives' based contract - Llambias said so when he was in charge in his programme notes. Given that we know the top 4 is a pipe dream and unrealistic the next best thing is Europa league which we know the club don't want. So what is AP's target? Finish as close to, but not in, the Europa League every year and he'll get what? A sports direct mug? If MA's incentive is to tick the business over in as positive a financial state as humanly possible to attract a buyer at a premium, AP is absolutely vital in that. Which other managers would accept their best players being sold from under them and be completely complicit in it? What is the incentive for AP? Can only be financial. Call that paranoia if you wish. I'll call it reality. It's utter bunkum. We know quite a bit about Pardew and all the staff and players bonus schemes. There is absolutely sod all evidence for what you're suggesting. Except the post by the bloke who knew Pardew was being appointed even before Hughton was sacked, where he mentioned that part of Pardew's job was to keep operating costs down. Nothing, except that.

Cabaye more likely. Would just seem odd to replace Cabaye with a young lad who plays as an AM. I mean, can he tackle?

Wouldn't he be a more obvious replacement for HBA?

It has already, plenty of times.

When you're up against players like MKSC, you're always going to have to try and just hang there and take your chance when it arrives. We managed that, and when you have match winners like Taylor amongst your ranks, you're always going to be a threat on the counter. you should ghost write for pards tbh. He's been doing it for months.

Probably Pardew's trademark positional 'eccentricity' though? Wide midfielders who are actually defenders. From Jonas to Sissoko, he loves it.

I think we'll lose this, but then I thought we'd lose away at Palace.

Fwiw, I'm not arsed.

Fair enough from Cajun that like, we've had our differences over Pards but I agree with what he's said there.

Head of Steam's class in the right circumstances, it's always been a funny one though due to it's proximity with the station and the fact that it's the latest bar open in town, give or take. It's also been open for longer than stuff like the Town Wall so it's got a fair amount of permanently pissed old fellas who don't go anywhere else. I've done some cracking gigs downstairs.

The luck debate again Interpolic and Mojorisin talking sense though, keep it up

Stairs are an issue.

What's the point? Pardew's contract will still be longer.

Only from the fans. Not the fans at the ground, just about 20 of us lot.

We put enough players on the pitch though. Players! In black and white! On the Pitch!

Not much else he can do being an absolutely dogshit footballer. Neanderthal.

and us

Massive win for them, but Fulham were the only team I thought were definitely going down so no great surprise. Still an awful lot for them to do, they have to start picking up points at home because they can't play Fulham away every week.

If I worked for the FA, I'd be investigating the throw ins.

Was that not Rich? Haha I appreciate the fact that you missed out when I did play the pass it was wonky and intercepted Ahh that was you Rich, class

Bimpy, I hope you're reading this. We executed the set penis in your honour (not very well).
