Weird underperformance so far. Is it a confidence issue?

Just had to transfer this quote into this thread, because it is golden.

He is a God.

Oxymoron of the year.

Taxi for Pardew?

Yeah, but sometimes it doesn't matter how many hints you give someone, they still don't get the message. Do they, James?

On the upside, it's clearly just a matter of waiting for Jonas to be sold now. Every other Barton prophecy has come to fruition.

Your wish came true.

£65K a fucking week and wanting more...and somehow the cunt's not greedy?

Maybe their new owners have even less of a clue how to run a football club than our current owner apparently does?

Basically. And most of us don't fall for the bullshit from either side. Yeah, I'm inclined to think that there's bullshit on both sides...in considerable quantities too. Still struggling to understand why folk can't just shrug it all off and deal with the realities of what has happened here.

Amazing isnt it? Really can't believe the histrionics over this.

Seems that way to me too.

I think the bit in bold is just about the only level on which I'm bothered about his departure. Where's our much needed nasty streak going to come from without Barton?

The thought of Joey Barton and Neil Warnock being in the same dressing room. :lol:

FFS - - is it a 1pm kick off on the Sunday now? I could have sworn it was a 4pm kick off? Must be losing my mind.

I reckon we should put a sneaky bid in for Junior Hoilett though. Now would be as good a time as any.

Plausible, when you consider there'd be no need to pay compensation since he allegedly owes Derek so much in gambling debts. Call him in, sack him and get him to sign off on some sort of twisted quid pro quo deal and then get him despatched to the unemployment lines. Replace with Walter Smith. No, scratch that - they'd never go for someone as credible as Smith.

I can't. I'm not sold on either of them at all yet.

Or a transfer ban. Or better still, a colossal points deduction.

That George Weah wasn't bad like. You forgot to mention Tony Yeboah. And Daniel Amokachi (but he was shit).

Baines is 26 years old already.

I dunno like...on paper they've got a few decent players besides those two, e.g. Formica, Pedersen, Robinson...oh, alright then, they're shite.

£5M?
