Eighteen years? Shame John Peters can't count.

Really gone downhill that restaurant. Used to be my favourite.

I'd imagine it was round about the time he started refereeing.

No reason Carroll, Cisse and Hatem couldn't switch during a game.

Except Woodgate.

How do you know? It obviously goes way beyond Pardew.

No.

See ya, wouldn't wanna.......oh, she's gone.

Because he's shit.

Whats the funny part?? Shola ever leaving?? Depress if thats the joke... Just goes completely without saying, no? Carroll's a very good CF and exactly what we need. Shola's a talentless nothing with a dodgy hip.

Is Rafa really any better than Pardew?

It might look good on paper, but there's few goals, no threat from set pieces, Cheick Tiote, and a lack of physicality in CD. We're gonna have to accept that the current squad is a work in progress in need of investment and replacement. I don't really agree with the first part, I think that team does have goal in it. Cisse, Gouff and Ben Arfa all score goals and Siss and Cabaye can ship in a few as well. I do think we need to strengthen and from what has been seen I do agree that MYM and Colo can't play together. That team would always score goals if the manager in question gave license to get bodies forward when in possession. Look at Swansea, Routledge suddenly scores and creates goals by the bucketload same goes for Maloney at Wigan because they allowed to join the centre forward when in possession. Of course it won't score goals if we are deep and not allowed to join the attack very often, Bale is another example no coincidence since he was allowed to be high up the pitch his goal rate went up. Its not a coincidence. Cisse aside, none of those players have ever really been consistent goalscores. And we certainly won't ever see the best of Cisse unless we get creativity either side of him.

More chance of us signing Rooney than Hatem playing more than 25 league games for us. Strange thing is his fitness record before joining us was very good. I still think we can't read too much into most of his injuries here; only the latest one is of a muscular nature. The other two were freak injuries. I agree in spirit, though. He's our saviour when he's fit and on the pitch.

Aye his timing was shocking, lots of fans will no doubt give him a standing ovation as a goodbye as well I think he deserves that simply because of how great he's generally been for us. It shouldn't be forgotten that his actions very nearly contributed to us going down, though, and he would have done it gladly had the club not dug their heels in.

And expected it halfway through a relegation battle.

Shola and Jonas have to go. Ideally I'd like Tiote to be replaced but unfortunately it's become too obvious what a liability he is.

1) Rubbish players might be sold off 2) Better players might be brought in 3) Pardew might get sacked or hit by a bus

Are we fuck.

Cacapa and Smith big lumps? News to me, like. Cacapa was diminutive and the complete opposite type of defender to the one you'd expect Big Sam to buy.

Please stay, ffs.

We could get a player far better suited to the PL for £20m. Shame nobody was stupid enough to give us real money for Tiote a year or 2 back.
