  1. I thought the bellend wasn't a fan of "emotional crowds"! “It is an emotional ground. I hope they will be able to transfer that to the Olympic Stadium - I think that is going to be important to West Ham.

    John Carver

    Speaking about the day Newcastle were relegated, Carver said: “Let me tell you, I never spoke to anyone for an hour after the final whistle went. That really hurt me. “And I wasn’t with the football club, but it was my football club and that hurt me. “Every time you come up against Aston Villa, that stays in there. “I remember the reaction of their fans after the game, and that stays inside. That will never go away. “Every time we come up against Aston Villa that’s in the back of my head. Definitely.” Newcastle were promoted back to the Premier League after just a season away, and their first home game of the new campaign ironically saw Villa visit St James’s Park. An Andy Carroll hat-trick helped the Magpies to a thumping 6-0 win, and a buoyant home crowd took the opportunity to revel in Villa’s misfortune this time. Chants of ‘You’re not laughing any more’ echoed around the ground, but for many – including Carver – scores have not yet been settled. There appears to be an attitude of what goes around, comes around, and with Villa visiting St James’s Park in the thick of a relegation battle tomorrow, Carver is expecting it to act as an added motivation for his side – and the crowd. When asked if it could spark the crowd, Carver – who is set to include Jonas Gutierrez in his squad for the game after the winger beat testicular cancer – added: “Yes, that could be one, Jonas could be another. “How they reacted to the way we got relegated wasn’t nice. It could spur the fans on.” Newcastle go into the game sitting 11th, with the only target left realistically available to them this season being to finish in the top 10. Villa, though, are in severe danger of dropping into the second tier for the first time since 1988, and it appears Carver will not be shedding any tears for them if they do fall through the trapdoor. When asked if there was ‘no love lost’ with Aston Villa, he said: “Absolutely not. “(Relegation) happened to us a few seasons ago, and it wasn’t nice. “It’s funny how things work out in life.”

Fuck off you fat-headed wanker! http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/427715/Sam-Allardyce-West-Ham-Alan-Pardew-Newcastle-Premier-League-Press-Conference-Latest West Ham boss Sam Allardyce: Newcastle are a mid-table team WEST HAM manager Sam Allardyce has described Alan Pardew's turbulent reign at Newcastle as 'successful,' and suggests the weight of expectation surrounding the club is unrealistic given their current resources. Big Sam's tenure in the north east lasted just nine months, but it was more than enough time to understand the immense pressure when in the St. James' Park hot-seat. Some supporters were critical of Pardew for failing to reproduce anything like the form that saw the Magpies land a fifth-place finish in the 2011/2012 season. But Allardyce thinks it is unfair to question Pardew's record, he said: "There are times at Newcastle when things don't go well the fans express their disappointment. "The thing about the Newcastle fan is that they don't stay away, they always turn up and if you're not doing well - they'll let you know. Newcastle are a team that fit in around mid-table in the Premier League. "There is a greater expectation at that club that it's not enough or good enough. "But realistically, where they lie financially and where they're budgets lie - that's about where they should be. "Alan always kept them around that position, and had one very good season when he got them into Europe, so I think his reign at Newcastle was successful."

  17. Ha ha ha! What a stupid wanker! http://sport.bt.com/sport-football/news/chelsea-fan-metro-train-was-full-S11363962632454#.VOR64Qqg9_w.twitter Chelsea fan: Metro train was full A Chelsea fan who witnessed a black man being prevented from boarding a train in Paris has defended the actions of the group, insisting they were Chelsea have condemned the incident which took place prior to their game against Paris St Germain advert Last updated: 18 February 2015, 11:53 GMT Print this story A Chelsea fan who witnessed a black man being prevented from boarding a train in Paris has defended the actions of the group, insisting they were singing about Blues captain John Terry and that other passengers were blocked from entry. Chelsea have vowed to support criminal prosecutions and ban any fans after footage, posted on the Guardian website, showed the commuter trying to board a Metro train in the French capital. He is blocked by what appears to be a group of Chelsea fans travelling to the Parc des Princes for the 1-1 draw with Paris St Germain on Tuesday night. Mitchell McCoy was one of around 40 or 50 Chelsea supporters on the train and he stated they were singing about Terry, who was banned for four matches and fined £220,000 by the Football Association in October 2012 for racially abusing Anton Ferdinand. In Terry's case, the regulatory commission stated that the Chelsea captain was "not a racist". McCoy, a season-ticket holder who travelled to Paris with five friends, was named on Twitter following the publication of the video. The 17-year-old from Fulham in London told Press Association Sport: "I'm not in the video but I'm on the carriage. We got on the train and at the station where the man was trying to get on we stopped for a couple of minutes. "He tried to get on and a few people were pushing him off because there wasn't much space on the carriage. You couldn't move. "People were saying it was because he was black. It's not true at all. I personally think it's because he was a PSG fan. Obviously they didn't want him anywhere with us. "That guy in the video tried to force himself on, so they pushed him off." A chant of "We're racist and that's the way we like it" is clearly audible on the video, but McCoy contended it was not about the passenger. He added: "That song was about John Terry. The only words I know is 'he's a racist, he's a racist' and I don't know the rest." Asked why that song was sung at that moment, he said: "I'm not sure. I didn't sing it. "It wasn't just that one time that it happened. It wasn't just with the black people that we weren't letting on. "There was white people, women that people weren't allowing on. There was no space. "They were saying, 'You can't get on this carriage, you have to go somewhere else'." McCoy believes fingers were pointed at him following "a stupid Tweet I did last night, (about) the John Terry song". He is aware of Chelsea's plan to support any criminal prosecution and hand out banning orders to any supporters found to have offended. "I wouldn't say (I am) worried, because I haven't done anything wrong, neither has any of my mates," he said. "I don't see how that can be used against me because I'm not in the video. "Of course we're concerned (about being banned). It wouldn't surprise me at all. "(But) they ban you for anything. It wouldn't surprise me." Asked if he would be prepared to help Chelsea identify those involved, McCoy added: "I don't recognise any of them so I wouldn't be much use." FIFA president Sepp Blatter addressed race issues on Wednesday morning, initially referring to comments from former Italy coach Arrigo Sacchi. "I also condemn the actions of a small group of Chelsea fans in Paris. There is no place for racism in football!" Blatter added. UK police are investigating the video. A Scotland Yard spokesman said the force is examining the footage to see if it can apply for football banning orders "preventing people from travelling from future matches". Chelsea released a statement condemning the incident and said they will take action if supporters are found to be involved. "Such behaviour is abhorrent and has no place in football or society," a club spokesman said. "We will support any criminal action against those involved, and should evidence point to involvement of Chelsea season-ticket holders or members the club will take the strongest possible action against them, including banning orders." Chelsea are working with the relevant authorities to identify if those involved have season tickets or any other connection to the club. UEFA, European football's governing body and in charge of Tuesday night's Champions League match, said in a statement: "UEFA condems all forms of discrimination and we are appalled by the incident which took place in the Paris Metro on Tuesday. "However, as it occurred away from the stadium, it is outside UEFA's remit to act. "It is a matter for the local authorities to investigate further and UEFA supports any action that is taken." Kick It Out chairman Lord Ouseley called for Chelsea, and football, to avoid complacency over incidents of a similar nature. Lord Ouseley told Press Association Sport: "We know that prejudice is on the increase and that in itself leads to hateful attitudes and this sort of conduct. "I was shocked that Chelsea fans were still behaving like this. I thought the club had made it quite clear and taken action about stopping any repetition, knowing Chelsea, how hard they've worked on these matters, with fans as well as players, that it was unlikely to occur. "The fact it involved an assault as well, of the individual that they pushed off the train, was even more shocking. "Clearly it sends out a strong signal to not only Chelsea, but the whole of football, that you cannot be complacent and think the actions you're taking are sufficient to deal with the scourge of racism, sexism, homophobia, anti-Semitism. We've got to do a lot more and not be complacent." Chelsea fanzine editor David Johnstone believes the incident could have severe consequences for the club's reputation. "Because of the actions of possibly half a dozen people on a Metro train in Paris all the supporters are going to be labelled as racist," he told BBC Radio Five Live. "I think the majority of Chelsea supporters are disgusted by what's happened. The 2,000 who were in Paris today support a Jewish-owned football team where the majority of players are black and foreign." The Football Supporters' Federation also condemned the incident. The FSF also appealed for information relating to a separate incident with reports supporters missed kick-off "having been held back by French police" and "reports that some fans were tear-gassed", it said on fsf.org.uk
  18. Not sure I'm keep on Jak Alnwick's new look there. I've been watching football for 35+ years, and thought I'd seen every possible kind of goal. Seems I was wrong! Ha ha ha! I love the defender's reaction!

    His first return as opposition manager was 13 years ago today! I still can't believe that the Police allowed it to be a 7pm Sunday kick-off!
  22. Tim Krul says that Newcastle fans should give Carver more time to prove himself and says that Newcastle’s three-match unbeaten run could easily have yielded nine points had they had a bit more fortune in recent games. “We very much believe in what John and Stoney do, and we have shown that on the pitch,” the Holland goalkeeper said. “We’re three games unbeaten, and we should have won last week against Stoke. We gave it away. We could have won (against Palace), and we could have had nine points and three clean sheets. “We have to look at the positives. I think there are a few out there maybe giving John a hard time, but we could have had nine points.”
