  1. I almost feel sorry for bookies in all of this, betting against us is like buying money at this point

    John Carver

    Any adequate manager should be capable of putting out a team that is greater than the sum of its parts. Carver, and Pardew before him, consistently puts out teams that are somehow worse than the 11 players on the pitch. A competent coach would recognize the weaknesses of each player and develop a game plan to maximise the strengths of the players available to him. We don't have a great target man up front yet we have wingers trying to put crosses in as if we still had Shearer up front. We have wingers and forwards with a bit of pace but we rarely try to make incisive passes for them to run on to and outpace defenders. Utterly clueless the lot of them.
  3. Everyone knows that desperately throwing more forwards on to the pitch in the vague hope that something might happen, despite having no actual plan to make things happen, is the epitome of tactical astuteness.

    He prepares for the derby games as a fight instead of treating it like an important fixture. I'd say that he should simply prepare for the game as he would for any fixture but he's fucking woeful at that too.

    Your first game

    3-0 vs Ipswich in 1984, think it still holds the record for the fastest own goal in a top-division game.
  6. One of the worst performances I can remember seeing. Terrified of an abysmal team, completely unprepared yet again and looked more like an under-11s team than a supposedly professional top-tier club.

    All he needs to do now is throw in the occasional "stop" and he'll have a new career as the Green Cross Code man.

    NUFC finances

    Probably find out that we're paying sports direct for image rights
  9. Fucking hell Arsenal get your shit together, I've got money on this!
  10. David O'Leary at the match. Not sure if I'd prefer him or Carver as manager or repeatedly jamming a fork in my eye instead.
  11. Its pretty obvious that they dont pay a penny for them though. Why else have they not been sent back if they arent going to play? I'm not sure that you can terminate cross-boarder loans
  12. Nonsense, Colo is brilliant at stepping up at completely the wrong moment leaving the rest of the defence flat-footed

    John Carver

    Who in their right mind would look at a multi-million pound business like nufc and even for a moment consider that Carver was the right man to run the football-side of the business? His track record in management is just disastrous but he's going to get the job because he doesn't rock the boat and because he allegedly understands the club (I'm not sure he truly understands reading and writing yet personally)
  14. Doubt the club will spend every penny it has in the bank in any summer. There will always be a war chest in case of disaster and January requires spending to recover the situation. Plus we're very likely to account for future wages from that amount too. I can't see us spending more than £25m then claiming the remaining money is required to cover the wages of anyone we bring in.

    He's an utter imbecile. Probably keeps getting stuck in revolving doors.

    I assume there's some level of seniority in the team and he's quite low down the pecking order when it comes to deciding who gets to take set pieces.

    John Carver

    Lee Ryder again - what is it with him and Carver ffs?? I assume that Carver has been giving him stories & gossip for years now & Ryder doesn't want his source to leave
  18. Not for the first time this season, teams just slaughter us easily and start to treat the game as a training session. We're too shit and insignificant to even bother trouncing.

    I have no words. Only one word is needed, "Lunatic." Dunning–Kruger effect Sound familiar? He's too stupid to understand that he's stupid
