yep

well, that's what he told SJH - i think there's more to the rumour he was buying to flip it and that fell through, if not why did it take so long for the advertising thing to become so prominent? it's not like he gives a fuck what anyone thinks

has ashley left anyone around in the sports merchandise sector to be able to complain? he's just about decimated the lot hasn't he?

was just gonna make the same point aye

worst argument ever tbh, all they have to do is spend 250m on a PL football club and heyho there you go Sports Direct haven't spent a penny on a PL football club. i understand your point like, but there's probably nothing anywhere to say that a club has to charge for advertising - it's not obligatory, it's their choice as a business to maximise commercial revenue or not not sure if conflict of interest is applicable in anyway, 'cause it quite clearly is a conflict of interests

true to form a rational perspective ian but at the end of the day they had money to spend and watched top class players go elsewhere then chose to buy fellaini...in the unforgiving world of PL football, and succeeding the most successful manager in PL history (maybe ever i'm not sure) it was nothing but an abject failure if they'd paid 10m for fellaini then i'm sure no-one would care, but they paid nearer 30m for him preposterous

worst argument ever tbh, all they have to do is spend 250m on a PL football club and heyho there you go

absolutely agree with this, had loads of options this summer but pissed about with fabregas and then went to a player like fellaini...

find it very, very unlikely he'll ever want to sell simply due to the advertising now - unless pards achieves his goal of a successful relegation challenge

too good man, i mean he'd probably be able to crush pardew in the derbies but the rest of it would be utter gold

he'll change something on monday like, whatever it may be he won't go out with the same 11 and formation that capitulated vs. hull i think he'll stick remy up and maybe go 4-4-2, or some combination of needless changes in order to revert to 4-4-2

next couple games will tell us, in fact if he leaves him in for everton it might be a sign but a pasting at everton and i think cheik walks back in the team myself

hm

on the subject of the little movement we have expect it to come to a grinding halt the moment pardew drops anita, we all know this day is coming we just don't know when probably monday like

did his chelsea team play decent stuff? i only recall them cliff thoburning their way to the CL tbh

can you not boil HF's chelp into "he's shit but he's not quite as shit as you lot all make out, and here's why" ?

i don't know why you're putting quote marks around "meaningless stat" as it implies i said it, which i didn't HF as you well know and it appears you agree with everything else i've as well HF

it's everything to do with stats, as stated points and stats disguised awful performances for a long time...some people, even amidst the winning, were able to see the likely direction things would take, others chose to focus solely on numbers and think everything was fine last season - it seemed to come as a shock to them when things got as bad as they did numbers tell us this season is going OK at the moment, and i suppose it is, performances tell us there's as much to be worried about as there is to be happy about oh and as regards meeting his target of 10th, he managed it for 25% of the season then basically...good stats

this is why most find a purely stats-based approach so frustrating man 1. with eyes you could see that the performances during the 5th season did not often warrant the results we were getting and could not be sustained 2. we continued with the same tactics and performances and started the season in ok fashion but then it caught up with us it was always going to catch up with us, the performances tell you that, not the numbers as for this season it's hard to say how it will go but you'd have to lean towards the negative rather than positive in the league man city - diabolical west ham - poor fulham - above average considering the way we finished villa - very good against an accommodating team hull - poor EDIT: correct quote

If I appear that way to people like you, then I'm doing something right. schoolyard dogs

like ian said though, what's it gonna take for any manager to admit another manager wasn't right for the job? it's bollocks

pardew (frantically adding a random amount of time to the period he's already been at NUFC): "well, oi fink ee should av got at leest faw yeers maayt, nowbody cawn be jawdged on less than faw yeers can they?" no idea how to write in pardew, obviously

are the others in the hyped group not all attackers of some ilk? makes sense pardew wouldn't progress or develop one of them when you think about it

pardew?!! what's pardew said the daft cunt?

how did pardew walk away from that train wreck man? EDIT: good post btw, interested to see how stats are gonna convert it into a success
