i know we take the piss about being proud to see our players leaving to sign for a big club, but if HBA leaves I would genuinely love it if went and won a load of trophies.

Club doesnt get it, or more accurately doesnt care. As long as w***a is plastered over them, shirt sales are going to be much lower than preceding seasons. I've never worn footie tops but have always bought the kids the strip every time a new one comes out. this is the first season i havent and wont until the sponsor changes. know many parents like this. Even if we'd accepted a sponsor paying slightly less (not that we offered anyone the chance to even match w***a according to Richard Branson) they would have sold a tonne more shirts. may not have been enough to make up the difference but so what.

hatem's not really been disrespectful to pardew in any of his quotes, he's just put his point across. no need for the club to be pissed off.

wish cabaye had laid into pardew when he left

even more desperate for us to lose against Cardiff now

http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/newcastle-spend-transfers-summer-push-3475472 Newcastle WILL spend on transfers this summer to push further into top 10 insists Mike Ashley Apr 29, 2014 20:53 By Simon Bird Toon haven't signed a single player on a permanent deal in 18 months but controversial owner intends to be very busy in the coming close-season Newcastle owner Mike Ashley has insisted he is ready to spend money in the summer to get Alan Pardew's squad back on track. The Sports Direct tycoon has conceded that proper investment is needed to stop the end of season slump continuing into next season. Senior figures at all levels of the club have been told the Magpies are likely to be among the major spenders, outside the cash-rich top four. Newcastle will not have signed a player on a permanent deal for 18 months when the summer transfer window opens. They are bottom of the Premier League spending table over the last five years accruing a surplus of £45million by one estimate. With the £16million from the sale of Yohan Cabaye deal unspent, and the club making a profit, Ashley has told his employees that he needs to protect the club with fresh investment to push it further into the top ten. Some Newcastle players are also convinced that boss Pardew will be allowed to head the major rebuilding job - to include recruiting two strikers, a top play-maker and a number of English recruits with experience of the league. Pardew's position has been badly undermined by a run of 14 defeats in 19 games, and a goal drought that has seen only ten goals scored in the league this year. Newcastle are on their worst run of defeats in the top flight since 1987 and Pardew was subjected to chanting by the 2,000 strong away following during the dire loss at Arsenal on Monday night. However Ashley has spoken to players in the last month with words of encouragement about next season, and chief scout Graham Carr is actively lining up deals which the club hope will come off quickly. Pardew has repeatedly insisted he is going to be backed, and said yesterday: "I'm looking at the job as a long-term opportunity for myself. That's how you have to focus." Club officials admit that Pardew and his side need a win against relegation-threatened Cardiff on Saturday to blow away the gloom before the summer break. Newcastle though have failed to score in 39 per cent of their home games this season, and have not netted in 77 per cent of games when Loic Remy has not played. Pardew said: "The fans have seen us lose again and they are not happy. I have to respect that. "All I can do as a manager is make sure I do this job to the best of my ability. We have been top 10 all year. This recent run is not something I am hiding from. "We have to finish in the top 10. If Cardiff think it is important for them on Saturday, trust me, it is important for our fans we win."

can you imagine if we'd signed ozil? great start to the season, then performances fell off a little - he'd have been banished to the reserves by now and replaced by gosling. then sold in the summer.

the cunt has described the Cardiff match as "our cup final". really? really? what a fuckwit.

they want us to be kept down. don't need an ambitious Newcastle to threaten the mancs or scousers (not that we ever would, anyway).

NBC doing a great job on him. no sympathy whatsoever.

yup. a bit overflattered at CB just like us.

"but we’re also playing an Arsenal team back to full strength with (Mesut) Ozil and (Aaron) Ramsey." cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt

sunday sun this morning - pardew telling us arsenal are back to full strength. just cant help himself.

a fucking manager who cant actually manage.

because for a lot of people, I fear it will.

supermac on joe Harvey; "He liked defenders who could defend, midfielders who could make goals, and forwards who could score them." we need to go back to basics.

so did shay

don't think a plaque does him justice. did morefor this club than SBR. So a statue or better still, the east stand being named after him would have been more appropriate.

yep

ip's a solid 7. not a patch on barrack - deffo 9.

guy was frustrated as hell, basically played midfield on his own - probably thought he was stopping a definite goal and that he would take the risk of the resulting penalty being missed.

pardew will be on the bench, so he'll probably stop us conceding a couple. so arsenal to win but only 2-0.

he's been poor lately, but gouffran plumbed new depths today in terms of both effort and quality. most of the time it seemed he didn't know what position he was meant to be playing. and cisse on the wing....

what was lowes' post match interview like
