  1. Effectively keeps 4 of our first choice back five togeter for the next 4 years at least. I'd be impressed if a decent right back is purchased. Just need to get in some decent cover.
  2. So, keep Pardew away from the SDA on Sunday?
  3. Can someone tweet/text/email Wraithy to sort the funeral?
  4. http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/matchday/fair-play.html Back door into Europe as well. How its calculated http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/matchday/fair-play-calculation.html
  5. If he can find a team mate with a simple pass he'll be an improvement
  6. He should have been fucking subbed - even if it did leave us with 10 men. Guthrie stood out as the worst of a bad bunch.

    Wolves were terrible yet they were allowed to come back from being 2 goals behind. Our starting line-up was wrong, our tactics were wrong and the substitutions were wrong. How would you have lined up at the start?

    Aye, But, But ....26 goals in 5 seasons - including at least one v NUFC.

    Cleaned the shit off his shoes at last. Mackem legends legacy will be 26k for a 5th Rnd tie at home to Arsenal. No longer needs to worry about the very people he admitted he despised. His days where numbered.
  10. They must be staggering the days that they take money electronically out of peoples accounts because mine's out in the middle of the month, what is the point of that? Does it not go on one of two dates? 1st or 17th? Depending upon the date you signed up. Mine leaves on 1st of every month.

  12. To pay that feckless feckers fine for the paint job? I know - stupid thing to do but someone was going to do it. Anyone know him?

  14. If he doesn't start v Wolves I think we can safely assume he'll be going in the summer.

    Alan Pardew

    I've heard it all now like, that's insane. Replace Pardew in the summer, after possibly our best finish in recent memory? And replace him with who exactly? Fabio Capello's available I suppose. I call it improvement. Since Ashley took over the manager at Newcastle or rather his role is now secondary to the scouting and recruitment/player trading system at the club so as such, we can afford to ditch the manager in favour of a better one even if that manager was doing quite well, ala Chris Hughton. I do not believe changing Pardew will destabilise the club just as replacing Hughton didn't and that's because the manager of NUFC these days is simply the coach, hired to train and pick the players to go out and win games. Me, I'd liken replacing Pardew for better, to replacing Danny Simpson with a better right-back. I believe we can do better than Pardew long-term and that we must get in better in order to keep improving. Its pretty simple. I'm actually fully behind the system we now have in place regarding scouting, recruitment and player trading. Obviously the manager has to decide or needs a say in which position he wants strengthened and what kind of assets a player must possess outside of the club's evaluation criteria such as age, resale value, etc. but in general the manager of NUFC is here to train, motivate and pick the team. And in that respect Pardew is struggling tactically and with his team selections. He's preparing the side well enough and he is motivating several lesser players simply by selecting them regularly, i.e. Ryan Taylor, but his considerable flaws (tactically, game plans, systems, player selection etc.) are being masked by Ba scoring so many goals, Krul keeping clean sheets, Colo being well, Colo, a colossus, and the team in general having such a good team spirit. Something I think has developed naturally from within rather than something Pardew has helped instill. It was there before him lets not forget. I'm probably looking at things in a cold calculated and analytical way but that's how I view things these days. Can we do better than Pardew? I believe so. I believe several managers already in the Premier League could do as well and even better given the side we have. Do we need to a better tactican? Yes, without doubt. Most of the games we have lost we have done so tactically. In short, aye Pardew is doing a good job, and thanks a lot Alan, but I can see lots of room for improvement and I don't think he is capable. I think the team and squad will outgrow him if you like to the point where he will start looking like the odd man out as we are seeing now. On a much lesser scale of course and in a different way, Pardew is to us what Ranieri was to Chelsea. We need a Mourinho to kick on as did Chelsea to win honours. They got rid of a capable man in the Italian for Mourinho and we must do likewise if we are to keep progressing. By the way, I'm not for one moment saying we need Mourinho himself. We need to make the kind of change Chelsea did when they ditched Ranieri, i.e. they improved their manager and as such they themselves improved. It's the lack of genuine strength in depth that is holding us back. Go past the obvious first 15 or 16 and its Championship all the way. I do think Pardew can look a one trick pony - Fulham and Spurs two games that simply got away from him. Brighton was abysmal. Similar results saw Hughton hit the high Road.
  16. Arsenal used to use the same method of paying players Search google for Ray Parlours divorce hearing. Lays out all Arsenals 'shady' methods of tax avoidance. Whether they have been caught up with or are still doing it we'll find out in the months ahead.
  17. Has been silent in his critcism of Ashley lately.
  18. Good job you don't qualify to speak for everyone. Some will be delighting in Rangers demise. Me for example. Says a lot about you tbh. It says I despise the horrible bastards.
