A piece of shit who says something right is still a piece of shit.

So we've moved on from the thoughts of Michael Owen to Joey fucking Barton? And I thought this thread couldn't plumb more depths.

A tale as old as time tbh. New manager comes in and by not having any bias toward the existing squad, is ready to introduce some new faces which looks exciting. But then he inevitably never does it again as he sticks by most of those same players for the rest of his tenure.

Yeah there's no way he was done by 24. Even his whole duration with us, when he was actually on the pitch he did produce other than the back end of the relegation season, by which point you could tell he was just shirking responsibility with an eye on his next move. Admitting he was still a good player doesn't absolve him of being a wanky little piss streak though.

Obviously for different reasons, but in decades to come will Ben Arfa be our era's Tony Green in the 'you had to be there' sense?

Plot twist: the true fan was Gordon all along.

4 countries in 8 years? Good to see the club staying committed to their strategy of longevity in the board room.

He fucking better be looking around going 'what's that noise?' whenever Isak tries to speak to him or so help me God I might start thinking he's surplus to requirements.

You know I've actually been thinking he's getting on a bit and probably needs to be phased out. Nothing to do with the above video, ofc.

I could feel the pain in this sentence.

Look forward to blaming him for everything in 18 months before saying maybe he was alright another 6 months after that.

Tbf heading in to an international break almost straight after is no help at all.

I'll take the option where I buy my own dinner and don't need to see or listen to either of them.

I don't think many believe he's in any way involved in the post. If anything, that's one of the multiple reasons it's going down like such a lead balloon.o Competely devoid of any true emotion or care. An utterly pointless PR exercise from an NUFC fan POV. But as someone else has said, it's still a cracking move as his defenders can now point to it and say how ungrateful we are when he's acted with such class and dignity.

Tbf even if it's not ChatGPT it'll just be one of his team. Just as empty in genuine affection either way.

Mostly filled with the scouse nonces whacking him off for his class and a few irritable NUFC fans slipping through the net. The worst are some of our cucks wishing him all the best. I mean, come on. Look at the lyrics of the song this egregious cunt's team chose to use. They couldn't have picked something more ironic.

Obviously. Probably not quite as effective post-transfer window though. Maybe it finally gets him there a whopping six months early in January.

Obviously going to be the new fad I guess.

Happy for someone to correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't we now bound by Uefa's more strict 70% wages to turnover ratio with being in Europe? If so, I'd think that's the financial rule more likely to make us hesitant to hand out improved contracts than PSR.

Not good enough. Seeing as there's no post dislike button so can someone lock Rich please.

I honestly think all was probably fine most of the time. Then he found out the move that was on the table and was happy to fuck it all. Behind the scenes videos included him and he was clearly close with certain players. Even at the League Cup parade, I remember him being a bit of an instigator for Bruno getting more and more mischievous on the mic so it's not like he was an outsider. It's firmly settled in my mind now that he's just a bit of a sociopath. Does what needs to be done for the benefit of himself and clearly happy to burn any bridges along the way.

7/10. I know it's not all on the club but I've knocked them down 1 for how we've handled the Isak situation and our striker search. We've ended up with a proven PL goalscorer and a very promising youngishster but it seemed to take so much to finally get there. I sincerely hope this score looks like a severe underestimation of the new lads come the end of the season.

Ah fair do's. Agree to disagree still but makes more sense than how I took it.

How so? They're the most banterrific betting company going. Probably just sums up why people shouldn't pay attention to such shite. I'm still not happy at what's happened but them and 'neutrals' that want to put the boot in are the last people we should give a shit about.

Poor lads. Hope they knock up some protest t shirts for the next match at Anfield. It's just not on.
