Ronaldo

What does it say? Not 100%, but I'm sure it's along the lines of no more lies, no more excuses. Pardew out. Fair play. There's going to be some sense in the crowd.

Aye, we might actually do it so it would no longer be funny. We also might not get dicked off our local rivals twice a season and consistently promote failure as the best option.

What does it say?

Why do you persist with such bollocks man? Where's the bollocks? There's not even a hint of exaggeration in any of that. Thought I can see why you'd be offended. Well its not exaggeration, it's just outright lie. Not sure why you have a constant desire to belittle the fans. The majority of fans still attending matches are the ones who were there under Keegan and Robson. They'll still be there when the next decent manager arrives. The lads I know who are going down tomorrow are sick of Pardew and will be happy to see him go. You're a lad from Manchester who doesn't go to the games, stop applying opinions to people when you haven't got a clue what they believe. I'm actually a lad from Newcastle who was a season ticket holder for 20 years. Don't project your failings as a fan onto those of us who've had enough of having our club and self-respect pissed on.

If Shepherd deserved that, Ashley deserves something far more sinister.

Away lot singing anti-Pardew songs. That's a good one. Silly little bastards think he's a 'beast of a manager'.

Can't believe he turned to selling a class B drug to bring that clogger here.

If those are reasons against, there's about a hundred reasons in favour.

I don't think anyone with half a brain would argue that there's an implication he's one of their 'most important' players, mind. Pretty laughable the extents some will go.

Christ, make it stop.

He might not score goals but he holds the ball up really well apparently. Although what use that is when there's no one within 20 yards of him most of the time I'm not sure. It's one of those clever tactical ploys which only professional managers understand I suspect. According to you 'proper football' doesn't include holding the ball up, anyway. He's a tidy footballer but a very poor striker, it's that simple. Nowt to do with management.

£70 on Stoke and Arsenal.

They need a lot more than 3 players to even dream of winning the CL. (I know you said special and nothing about the CL.) Having put a bit more thought into it. 2 CBs, a CM and a striker capable of working the channels like Aubameyang would have them challenging for it. 4 players it is, imo.

Man U are 3 players away from being special again. They can be content with their CL campaign though. Watched the last half hour of the Barca game. Fucking hell were they bad. Badly need to mix it up with a player up top that can hold it up a bit. Playing through teams isn't always going to work, especially against sides like Atletico.

And £5 on Barca and Man U to qualify at 10/1.

£10 on Mickelson, Day, Scott, and Dufner all EW.

Being hard usually only prolongs the beating against someone with proper training. The one exception being Earnie Shavers.

He'll be in Paris peeping in Yohan's window.

Untrained? As in they don't box? Some of hardest kids I've know hadn't done any sporting training whatsoever Maybe that's the reason they're 'hard'. They stick to beating people like you up.

They're both several stones lighter and untrained. It's nowt to be proud of, like.

Carrick and Fletcher, man. If Moyes manages to pull this off a few hands need to be held up, like.

Well, I've had more than a few (this week) and I'm telling you now Shearer was scared. I quite agree that Keane was a lot of mouth, mind. Althought according to Bellamy he was waiting in the tunnel for Shearer and didn't shift until someone (SAF?) forcefully told him to.

You've outdone Kaka. Congrats.

Hate to say it but I think Shearer was more than a tad frightened, like. Rubbish. You lads make too much of him "standing there," to be honest. He didn't run away but he was backing up and he has Brown, Beckham, Blanc and Neville to thank for not getting flattened. He was the bigger man though. Keane was such a dick. Was the last off the pitch too, which was the only time I can ever remember him doing that. I've been in enough fights to see when someone doesn't want it, like. Shearer wasn't soft but he wanted absolutely no piece of Roy Keane.
