on a fb thread I just read,

I'm not going to backread this thread but has Cisse actually been quoted as saying he wont wear the Wonga logo? I saw the shit in The Mirror but it looked decidedly 'lets make a story up' type of column filler.

Honey Monsters a cunt.

Ten year price freeze on ST's is going to push us even further behind. Lining up with sponsors like Wonga shows exactly where we are.

I remember Boumsong having a a blinder at Highbury, we should never have sold him. You can't base things on one match. Shearer was still scoring 20 a season at the age of 35. He scored 17 league goals in his final two seasons. 60 Games. You can pretty much draw a line in Shearers decline when he lost Bellamy's legs to do the graft for him. So he still managed about Bellamy's career goal per game ratio in his last two seasons? Shot to bits those final two seasons though. Said it before and will say it again - NUFC would have been better off getting rid of Shearer (and Souness) than getting shot of Bellamy.

Andros Towsensd has had a funny career. Spurs player - signed in 2008. Played FIVE league games for Spurs in that time - all last season. Signed Spurs extension in 2011. Spent effectively 6 seasons out on loan.

I agree that Shearer should have been played less - no reason why we couldn't have rotated Bellamy, Kluivert and Shearer and retained a still very good strikeforce and got the most out of all of them. But.. nothing Bellamy has done since has shown that we could have built a very good side around him alone. He wasn't and isn't good enough to have a side built around him. 1 in 2 for Blackburn. Earned himself some big transfers and played well in those teams. Lasted longer at City than Shay for one. He's also the type of player that can do well for most sides. By build a team around him - you just play him tbh. Not denying he is a good player, but I don't he has ever been the type of player you build a team around. You build a team around a player like Ronaldo or Bale or Suarez etc. Not a guy who has never scored more than 13 league goals in a season and averages a goal every 3.25 games. Yeah my point is - all you have to do is play him. I don't think you have to build a team around him. Souness put the money on Shearer over Bellamy and that was a bad move is all i'm saying. Apart from his spell in Celtic and Blackburn, he's played in wideish roles since. 17 in 32 or 13 in 27 isn't bad at all imo. Souness very survival at NUFC was dependant upon getting Shearer onside. He'd have been gone earlier if he hadn't.

Club would have been in better shape if we had binned Souness and Shearer instead of Bellamy. The tail wagged the dog for at least 2 seasons too long.

Keegan shouldn't have been allowed within a million miles of NUFC. It was a decision made by Ashley designed to placate the more basic of our support. I also believe Keegans motive was to avoid financial meltdown. He never looked happy from day 1. What a pile of tosh. "A disaster waiting to happen." was how I described it at the time. It was.

Purely depends what was promised to him to stop him fucking off earlier in the season. Unbelievable a Club like NUFC will be embroiled in something as obviously ridiculous as this. Get the fucking thing sorted. Set the price and have no more contact until that fee is reached. If Colo wants to piss off then hold his registration and sue him for the remainder of his unfulfilled contract.

Best British manager of recent times. (SAF, Paisley, Clough...)
Crumpy Gunt replied to Parky's topic in Football
Bob Paisley. Took over the reigns from Shankly. Three European Cups in the days it was home and away knock out (iirc) and it included only the champions from each country. -
Maybe a tad early but anyone who's been can they leave any little titbits of scandle or indeed praise please? Be interesting to see if he says owt good or bad about the ownrs and manager.
-
This is likely to occur at any club where the manager isn't in charge of player recruitment. Pardew must just not see him fitting into whatever he thinks is plan.
-
I'll stick! Time to bump and reasses. A fucking disaster of a season. NUFC where in no way shape or for ready for the workload they undertook. And, yet again I was correct in my thought that Europe would be an expensive mistake. Too many games. Small squad. An idiot of a manager. A tight cunt of an owner all contributed to turning this into a joke of a season.
-
All was rosy until their serious fall out early season.
-
Anyone else think he'll stay if Pardew gets the shove?
-
QPR and Wigan aren't bad away days. Reading is just shite. Any news on MaCmanamans shattered leg?
-
If Wigan drop as expected that will be the last of the decent big away allocation Clubs that were always good Away Day / Boxing Day destinations. Shame in that respect. Although Blackburn did take to ripping us off price wise so fuck them.
-
Didn't Moyes sue Rooney over the content of his book? or vice-versa?

I'd love to see his heart give out live on SKY. Cunt of a man.

Simpson makes the back line look more settled, while Debuchy has been s**** but gets away with it for being a new signing and French. Not really, he's had his up and downs. But there have been games where he's been one of our better players, while Danny is usually always our worst. With Mbiwa as a left-back I'd rather have Debuch playing on the right, no reason to have 2 fullbacks who can't get a cross in or so. Debuchy is Cabayes bestie mate. The sleeve tattoo's. The cool dude photo's standing in the faux cool dude stance next to his bestie mate. The him and er...him spiky hairstyles. The lunge in an effort to make sure he got a straight red v the scouse scum. A f***ing coward with no heart for what lies ahead. Simpson will do me and i'm well aware of his capabilities. There is just no way I'm responding do that, either you better seek an asylum or you're trolling is almost as good as David Luiz yesterday.. As spineless as the man you prefer over Simpson.
