Ronaldo

It'll be one of Carver's mates from down Wylam, man. He's in there putting money behind the bar every week.

The media are seemingly frightened of him.

agree with this 100% got to take the rough with the smooth. We weren't too bad going forward today but shocking at the back. "We weren't too bad going forward today"?? The football has fuck all to do with it, it's the fucking circus we've turned into, you need to get your head around the fact that it's not about losing matches and playing shit. Everyone could handle that if we were a genuinely shit team with little money to spend. Unless you support Ashley and agree with how he's running the club, he's the one we need to stand up to and going along to "support the lads" is indirectly telling him he's fine to keep doing what he's doing. You're supporting Ashley by proxy if you're not standing against him, whether you mean to or not The football is all I'm fucking interested in. Don't we know it, you're the type that just wants a couple of hours out the house away from the wife. Not sure what you're doing on here antagonising real fans, mind.

Nah, he's the worst. Pardew had this lot in 5th for a couple of weeks.

I wouldn't feel sorry for Carver if his house burnt down.

We were told that when he signed, to be fair.

That poll. Nobody likes you, Colo. Mick and Paully from here certainly do.

Bobby used to tell him to wipe the dogshit off Andy O'Brien's boots. Pardew on the other hand fed him a tonne of bullshit about being his Geordie second-in-command.

McClaren is better than Pardew and infinitely better than Carver. I can also think of dozens of realistic appointments I'd prefer.

This was today, Gimp. Assumed you'd seen it.

Eh?

Half a percentage point.

Is he fuck. We were very poor under Shearer but not this level of bad.

He's an absolutely dreadful defender, like. Never hack it in a proper league.

Charnley was selling it to him, like. He has exactly the same look on his face as the bloke who tries to get me to change my electricity ands gas supplier every time I walk from my car to Tesco.

Think yourself fucking lucky. We've got a 'manager' who never shuts the fuck up about games we've actually lost.

As per, L'Equipe knew about this 2 weeks ago.

4/1 on SkyBet as of 2 minutes ago.

He's infinity better looking than Carver and McClaren. On that basis alone I'd take him.

FWIW the daft lad who took the picture is 100% that it's him.

Nah, it's him.

Brilliant work.

The height's about right.

Has Ferdinand been sniffing glue or what?

Given sat in the City press room - knowing the likes of Robinho, Bellamy and Kompany were now his teammates - talking about how sad he was that Newcastle hadn't made any effort to keep him. He's a genuine bloke who loved/loves Newcastle, Shay.
