it's a funny one this because i can literally not think of another manager who has come back from a situation like this before, it always ends in the sack, always but this is ashley, who the fuck knows? there's hope to be had about his dissatisfaction with our near-relegation last year as well of course...ashley bailed him out that time and just over a year later he's crying to be bailed out again while players like HBA and Marv sit on the bench watching the team fail to score goals he also presumably shelled out to get de jong in, whom pardew has done literally nothing with

ah man a huge ben arfa face on a flag at the next home game would have been amazing

young and "up and coming" makes me worry about sherwood See what you mean but this is completely different to that situation to be fair. Only downside with Howe and what makes it such a gamble is that he has no knowledge of the PL or playing/working at a 'big club'. It would all be new to him and the step up so quickly might be too big of a jump so soon. I meant it worries me in the sense that Ashley might hire him when spurs can him. Horrible, horrible cunt.

There are plenty of managers who would fit the middle ground, but Keegan would never be one of them. Can you imagine him coming to Newcastle with the aim of finishing 10th? Ashley should never have conned him that we wanted to win stuff. Actually, there was every indication when he first arrived that he wanted us to do well. He invested in players, watched the matches with the fans etc. The turning point was the death threats and him believing he couldn't attend matches with his family any more, and ever since then he's done his damndest to spite the people of Newcastle for it. The death threats happened because he sold Keegan down the river. I'm not one of those who think Keegan should have been given a blank chequebook, I understand that a club has to be self-funding in the long run. But bringing Keegan in as manager with the dream to become the club we were previously when that was never the intention was dishonest. If Keegan had been told come here as manager to finish 10th, do you think he would have been interested? Of course not. A liar and a scumbag he may be, but a total idiot Ashley isn't. He said he would be putting in £20m a year into the club from his own funds, in addition to whatever other revenue the club made. It would have gone sour pretty quickly with Keegan if said £20m didn't materialize at the end of that first season before the tribunal. I've made sure to keep myself abreast of pretty much all the Ashley quotes and dealings since he's come to the club, and I can distinctly remember that those first 4-5 months post-Allardyce that we were all firmly behind Ashley, he was investing in players (Coloccini, Smith (ugh) and the rest). How he signed some of the players and the people that he got in were clearly complete mistakes. It speaks volumes that he didn't source the players himself like some other sugar-daddy owners, but employed what he thought were football people to bring in players. He seemed, to me, to want the club to do well. Ever since the beginning of the next season with the Keegan unrest and the threats (real or otherwise), is when there has been a complete u-turn in club policy and direction - not a penny more into the club, invisible to the fans. I am 100% against Ashley now, and have been since the tribunal. But go back to the SJH quotes on the sales of his shares, Ashley's representatives told him that he wanted to advertise SD in Asia, and wanted to use NUFC to do it. Back then, it seemed perhaps through Euro qualification, Champs League etc. But now he's gone the other way, and has turned us into one of his SD stores. agree with this tbh

if anything the sale of cabaye and temporary loss of remy highlights beyond any doubt what an awful manager he actually is, by his own admission he's saying he can't manage a football team without 1-2 top class matchwinners playing in every game and once they're not he's bereft of ideas it hurts my mind trying to think why some people aren't getting it

said in the guardian match report the away fans were in "open revolt" - is this close to being true?

Mourinho's run down the line in front of the camera was horrific btw

Defence calls it's first witness: TheGuv

I'm confused. Mourinho has made heaps of changes to his lineup today as we all know yet he's managing to get a performance out of the players the pitch. This literally does not compute in Pardew binary code.

Flanagan us playing schoolboy football like, fucking flies into every tackle like it's his last. I like to see it but imagine if he plays like that in the CL

Sorry Collage, on Tapatalk just now and didn't spot. TRon, Moyes pushed the top six with Everton, why couldn't he do that with us exactly?

This is simply not right, Moyes is a cautious manager I agree, but he's cautious and able to actually set up a football team, to organise them, to get a defence organised, to play players in their correct places, to have a gameplan. Everton were fairly easy on the eye when he left, he'd have a good squad as a starting point with us so I see no reason why it would be as horrific as his early Everton days personally. He doesn't deserve comparison to Pardew imho, he's earned more than that in his career. Threaten the top clubs? Howay man

Presume those yanks thought he'd know more about it than them, for obvious reasons.

Fucking hell if Ashley backs Pardew to go more English As has been stated mind a lot of our fuckwitted fans will buy it for a dollar.

Think they're gonna scrape out of it aye

villa going down would be amazing If Villa and the Mackems went down in the same season I think I'd actually cry tears of joy. then pardew gets sacked and north korea release the cracken

option 3 “alan it’s mike, yeah sorry to bother you after that surgery yesterday but i’m selling tim to anybody tomorrow, can you get onto the ferry company and head to frogland to find us a new keeper quicksharp? no you can’t have your own cabin."

I still think a 'British Isles' tournament would be class. There's no way the English would share a tournament though. you’re on a roll tonight deuce, fucking outrageous What's outrageous about that statement? suggests you’ve never met a scotsman, irishman or a welsh sheep Ah, right. sorry dude, reading back i assume by what you said you mean at institutional level, i.e. the FA, as opposed to “the english” in the british isles the chips are firmly on the shoulders of everyone but the english (with decent historical reason obviously)

When I was working there they were advertising on CNN as a tourist destination. At the same time they were changing the visa rules at will every month and throwing mothers and their children out of the country for not having a visa on arrival when they changed the system 12 hours earlier.

I've heard that as well, mate said it was quality when he was there for a stag Well, Mojo has summed up my review your mate went to baku for a stag? jesus
