Totally agree TM.

Echo this. Even they can't be this bad, surely? I think we should get the NUFC line on this before judging. As bad as it sounds at this stage.

Probably give Pardew a lifelong contract, no break clause and a £200m severance package on the day before the deal goes through.

WTF

Soton to nil is gonna be my big bet of the weekend. Gonna fire some at the handicaps too, mainly -1 although I'll cover -2 and -3 with small money too. Aye - I'm going Saints to nil too.

Love Roy

That's the kicker. He could have us as competitive as anyone else if he really wanted to. His approach in this respect makes me certain he'd sell for the right price. It's a business to him, not a sporting institution. It's just the old adage Llambias used.........his house wasn't for sale but if someone offered him twice its market value then he's sell. I'm not sure it would take a ridiculous bid to get him to agree to sell but, no question, it'd have to be slightly over the odds.

If someone offers him the right money, he'll sell. That's wholly dependent on a Sugar Daddy turning up, out of the blue, with a desire for NUFC. Unlikely unfortunately.

He was in Oba's year in school.

Fucking hell. Like leaving a Ferrari at home and taking next doors Lada out for a change.

Said it all summer........................the whole system AP has used this season is built around SDJ. His injury renders us totally ineffective in the final third. Southampton to win to nil looks a good bet now.

Bloke is a bellend.

This is it. If you're of no value to Ashley then you're finished. Same with HBA, as soon as his asset value was gone, so was he.

We'll lose to Southampton. I'm sure we will too. Pressure has to increase on the fraud.

.com is more and more pro-Nufc these days. I think they've had some form of engagement by the Nufc pr folk.

The writings been on the wall for this clusterfuck of a season since the window opened imho. That's why I made the post saying how unimpressed I was, even before we let 2 of our best players leave. Ashley is a renowned gambler and when all they desire is a 9th-16th place finish he simply gambles on this every year and it shows with his player trading. I think they've dropped a major bollock this summer though. Their whole summer business and new playing system revolves around De Jong who has to perform in every game in order for us to carry any form of threat. If he's injured (guess what......no replacement in the squad for this position) or shite then we're fucked. Proper fucked. Cabella looks lightweight to fuck to me and he's going to take a good while to get to grips with our game. Riviere has got no history of consistent goalscoring. How do we intend scoring goals with an injury prone playmaker, a trickster you could blow over and a forward who's record is poxy? Add to that an aging defence with no cover and frig all in the way of proven wingers and I think we're fucked. The gamble too far. We'll be bottom four this season and Pardew won't last it. This club is toxic. Fucking fed up of it.

Fucking tragic. What a rotten club.

Used to be Alan Smith ffs.

They'll be desperately trying to shift him at this time. He's the elephant in the room and he gets better with every game he misses. Pardew will hate him. Can't believe the jammy cockney cunt hasn't been challenged on this farce yet. Oh yes, unless we just bought off the press with cash for access. That might explain it.

Arsenal win and Liverpool/Spurs game to be over 2.5 goals. £10 returns £30.

Great idea. How a win against Palace, giving us 4 pts from 9, is 'pleasing' is fucking beyond me. It's more like 4 points from 6 as he, and everyone connected with the club, writes off the City games. We roll over every time. Ah yeah. Their willingness to roll over against 'big' clubs is fucking rotten and indicative of everything that's wrong with our club. There's very little will to actually compete in the sport. It's like football by numbers. X number of wins, X number of draw, survive every year and fuck the whole purpose of being a football club. Absolutely stinks.

Don't think Hodgson had much alternative to be fair to him. Apart from Pirlo.

In his fucking mams house maybe.

Take him out of the equation and can you honestly see goals in this team? It seems a ludicrous risk to take given he's had a few injuries last season and isn't fully fit yet.
