Ronaldo

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.

Find it funny that anyone would still be holding a grudge against Given, like. Good on him for getting the fuck away from this liar-led soulless circus. Don't hold a grudge (if you're referring to me), I just find it hilarious/galling that our ex-players (some of whom were the absolute pits during parts of/the end of their time with us) can move on and go on to win things. I always though Given was overrated but he was pretty consistently effective and professional.

Because they haven't. Carver's just been going around telling everyone he's permanent manager and they better respect his authoritah.

I think it's a better idea to keep shit players as far away from the team as possible.

Yeah, having a go at John Carver will utterly obliterate his chances of getting signed by a team in the Championship or Argentina. Having a go at Carver won't affect any chances of signing for an Argentinian club.

What's Azoye got to do with the fact that Gouffran's not a second striker? Gouffran's at best a second rate poacher. A poor footballer who somehow spent most of his career in that circus across the channel as wide player.
