so these photos exist yet have never seen the light of day or even been leaked online?

need to build a squad. get rid of those not capable of doing a job when called upon eg gosling/ameobi but we have to keep the likes of Perch.

at least Swansea have gotten in there and tried to sell him the idea that it would be a good move for him

Neil Cameron: To say we put a spin on results is just nonsense 1 Jun 2013 12:42 Sports writer Neil Cameron on The Chronicle's Big Toon Survey Share on print Share on email Newcastle United's end of season survey 2012/13 Newcastle United's end of season survey 2012/13 It's been a busy week here at Chronicle Towers. Not only have we had to sift through almost 3,500 responses to our Big Toon Survey, but we’ve also had to painstakingly alter your votes so we can curry favour with Newcastle United. Or as someone posted on our website, take part in a cover-up that was akin to “an African election” and that we had for some reason sat on these results for weeks. First things first: the vote was obviously free and open to all. We didn’t tell anyone how to vote or how to answer our questions. We just read them. And as much of the comment was heavily critical of Alan Pardew and the club in general, it is difficult to see how any of the past five days’ coverage has “got us in” with Newcastle United. Many of the quotes from supporters that appeared all week in the Chronicle did not miss their mark, whether it was about the manager, tactics, certain players or the owner. We published them. Again, this proves how neutral we are. Also, the voting was open for two weeks and closed a week past Thursday and we started to publish the results on Tuesday. So it’s not as if we kept this secret for a month, although it’s hard to see why we would do that anyway. The biggest bone of contention was the subject of Pardew. Those who want him sacked, which was a little under 50%, couldn’t believe anyone would have voted any other way. That is where the accusations came in about us tweaking the results, which is an absolute nonsense. A slight majority were divided between sticking with Pardew and giving him to the start of next season, one final chance if you like. On a personal level this surprised me. I thought around 60% would go for sacking him now, with most of the rest prepared to allow him, say, 10 games of next season. But the idea that we somehow doctored these figures is ridiculous. This is what the supporters said and this is what we published. Finally, a big thanks to everyone that took the time to fill in the survey.

cisse definitely improved as the season went on, unfortunately for him the rest of the team didnt

reports that mourinho keen to keep him

has he been to the US or just spent a night with a portly northern comedian?

Heard a bit about him. However, reputation is an idle and most false imposition; oft got without merit, and lost without deserving. is that a shakespeare or pardew quote?

would take Lukaku or Long, better still both

love KK but still really find it hard to forgive him for leaving in 96 if it was simply over the PLC issue

also 2 new strikers and who knows how long they'll take to adapt to the premiership and our team/tactics?

better linesman at the bridge

tbf his finishing did improve after leaving us, though he spent more time out wide (ironic considering the fallouts when he was with us).

ince is more of an out and out winger. also, if only marveaux could stay fit.

we cant sell cisse. for one thing we need to build a squad, for another we cant be overhauling squad every 18months or so. we need to add rather than replace.

was the best forward at the club when he was here

at the end of the day, money talks. wouldnt mind paying a couple of million extra to make sure we get him. put in a bid now.

Was amazing to see. What was more amazing was that neither had been Robson's first choice targets for each position... (Jeffers/Ronaldinho) Jeffers/zenden ...... or was it giggs?

we have cisse and gouffran - we need another 2 strikers even before we think about selling anyone

think shearer played 2 seasons too many and it prevented us progressing as a team

so upsetting

everton talking to Rangnick. so many top coaches available at the moment. a chance to step up in class and we turn our backs.

window closes end of august - a couple of early season stormers.......and BOOM!

that's the knackas at the local press for you

aye, and our manager spends most of his time talking about the defensive side of his game..even if he stays we'll always be watching a cuckolded HBA under shitforbrains Harsh, he wants HBA to work hard when we don't have the ball, but he trusts him when we do have it. Not ideal from a fan's point of view, but not a major error either. in the fifth place season, clearly evident that HBA's best offensive performances were also the ones he was tracking back in. he's perfectly capable of it without it affecting his offensive game. its a matter of 100% fitness (physical and emotional).
