He's captain because he's an extension of the 'yes sir, whatever you say sir' attitude prevalent at board, management and coaching level. Nolan wasn't, and was sold.
Lua Lua looked like he could have been a good player early on in his career here, I though he was much better than the bloke who he was in contention with for a place, Shola.
He had the odd good game but he doesn't belong in the company above.
If we could win 2 games between now and the end of the season I'd choose this one and Sunlun. Apart from that I can't actively want us to prosper with Charver picking the side.
It's exactly the reason why Ashley goes on the way he does. Because he knows folk will always turn up.
John Anderson Just laughed tonight when that was pointed out to him.
John Anderson probably laughs at his reflection, the silly drunken bastard.
Be a lot funnier if he managed someone else.
He'll be Pardew's assistant at some point in the future and I'd rather we had as little as possible to do with him. A bloke who couldn't even learn from the likes of Shearer, Bellamy and Kluivert has no business coaching anyone else.
