Same with the Ranger stuff. I agree with 'Pards' seniment but he seems too keen to air things that like you say can stay within the realms of internal club politics It's something I loved about Hughton, he kept everything in-house and didn't give anything away to the media. Pardew is an idiot that gets into fights on the touchline, makes ridiculous comments and just doesn't command respect. There's just no point to this appointment.

The only thing Pardew is going to reverse is NUFC being in the premiership. Seconded. Aye, after games v Liverpool, Man City and Spurs. 3 of the top 7 last season anyone can make that judgement. Total lunacy. What is, your sentence structure? What the f*** does the second one mean? It's like The Times cryptic crossword man. How ppl can judge a manager is going to take us down after his 1st 3 games are against 3 of the top 7 from last season. May as well judge any manager on single games at that rate. He relegated Charlton and was odds on for getting West Ham relegated. He's a s*** manager with poor tactical knowledge and no idea about man management. Ian Holloway relegated Leicester, that make him a s*** manager then. Charlton were already going down any-case. Again you putting what your views are ahead of what you saying and being biased in the whole situation. I'm putting what my views ahead of what I am saying... All I can say is what my views are. What a ridiculous comment, unless you meant something else in which case I think you should think more carefully before typing. The Ian Holloway reference is pointless to be honest, he did relegate Leicester but he has shown with Blackpool that he has tactical ability and decent man management skills. As I understand Pardew did alright with Reading before leaving for and ultimately being fired by West Ham - deservedly so as well. He had an alright start and a cup run but they looked terrible near the end. He may have not being the main reason for Charlton being relegated given where they were when he took over, but going into the championship with the team favourites to win it, finishing 11th and then going on the season after that to be hated by the fans for his negative tactics before getting fired kinda balances it out. Finally, Southampton. He did alright with them, won a cup which is fair play.. but then was fired. Why was this? According to reports it's because of low player morale and dressing room discontent. According to locals on the inner track it's because he was banging one of his players' wives. Classy. This man is not good enough to manage NUFC, or any other team with long term premiership aspirations. He has no dignity and no class. He will ultimately relegate us because he seems unable to maintain a dressing room spirit (unlike Hughton) or approach games with a positive, attacking attitude (unlike Hughton - arguably).

It's more a case of nobody wanting him here. He's done nothing to win over my support and I doubt he ever will. He's a liability.

Quiet the opposite, Neesy is right about Jonas being turd. Hard job to argue against it. Yeah.. but no-one is arguing against Jonas being poor.

It was 2-0. Yeah after 2 shocking pieces of defending 1 of which was a Hughton signing. Spurs created 2 goals, it doesn't really matter how we reacted to them. It's irrelevant who signed the player really, as he was selected by our current manager.

Why is Guthrie not available? Because he's a fat useless wanker with a heart the size of a pea. Not a normal pea, mind you.. one of those peas that falls out of the pack and falls on the kitchen floor and you don't notice it until the next day when you're cleaning up and it's gone a darker shade of green and really really shrivelled. That is the heart of Danny Guthrie. I got told that he's been declared ill on a serious note. Apparently quite a few players have got it, some played through it on Boxing Day. He's well enough to drink some blue WKD with his girlfriend though.

You might want to check when we actually signed Smith and Xisco. I think he's on about Shepherds' era in general. It started the trend and our wage bill was massively over inflated due to agents' knowledge of how much we were willing to pay for generally very average players that couldn't care less about playing for the club.

This is the major reason for players like Smith certainly I reckon. I can't imagine Ryan Taylor being on much to be honest and he's useful backup. Smith just serves no purpose... especially considering his ridiculous estimated wages. It's hockey where the contract is bought but in football the player is bought and then he will be offered a new contract with other terms! We could just let them for for free but you're right about one thing(reminds me of one Aston Villa player from a few years back) when he's just happy to raise his huge wage week in week out and isn't really bothered is he playing or not! I guess Smith and Xisco won't be leaving even for free as they won't get contracts on similars terms anywhere else even if they were just let go...well it's all down to Shepherd's era when he tried to buy fans with these so called star players! Well that's the thing, isn't it. It's not really their fault they got offered so much money but my life is so far detached from what they've got I can't imagine the greed of someone not willing to take a dip of 20k or so in weekly wages in order to get regular football, when you compare it relatively to what they'll still be earning. I don't know, I just can't imagine being of that mindset but of course I don't live that life so I'll never be able to truly comment on what I would or wouldn't do. MichaelNUFC - I reckon R.Taylor is alright for backup, he can cross fairly well, has an alright shot and can take a set piece. I'd rather have him cover the right wing since he's familiar with that position for a game or two rather than someone like Guthrie that cuts in and weakens the overall width of our play. R.Taylor isn't the best at defending.. but that's why he's backup I guess.

He's in a better place now. Knowing Xisco though that place would probably involve poppers and body glitter.

I thought they looked poor yesterday and are relying massively on Tevez. I doubt they would have scored if he wasn't playing yesterday, he scored two and assisted the first. On the other hand, we rely massively on Carroll. Their team just has more quality throughout and never had to get out of 3rd gear since they'd shut up shop after 5 minutes.

He sold Scott Parker in June 2007, a few days after taking full control off Shepherd as I recall correctly. We hung onto Parker until we could get Barton here, although it was Allardyce that wanted Parker out, he certainly didn't want to leave. Selling over the managers' head he has never done. He's certainly signed unwanted players though and that's just as bad really.

We beat Everton away.

Johnson is here! Johnson is here!

would that be the jose fonte whos mrs pardew allegedly had it on with? He was eating that pussy like chicken chow-mein. Allegedly.

Birmingham found not to be in Nottingham. Bizarre. It's about 45 minutes up the road and the difference in weather is extreme. Stop being a dick for the sake of it, although you are very good at it.

No snow at all in Nottingham. Bizarre.

They meant agogo. http://www.remo.com/photo/catalog/6/45/37/big.jpg Carnival!

What good was that to us? I wouldn't say we were going down, but regardless of what he's done in the past and where we were in the table, we were in relegation form when he was sacked. And you could say exactly the same about our record with Keegan. 5 wins out of 19. The point is, there is far, far more evidence to suggest Allardyce would have kept us up than not. His record with Bolton, Blackburn and even us to some extent, points to a fairly strong conclusion. What a f***ing daft conclusion. Bolton and Blackburn were teams built on sides with physically large players especially up front. The thick fat b****** Allardyce didn't have enough nous to adjust to the players we had and tried to implement his anti-football tactics with players who were bought for different qualities altogether. What a f***ing thick c*** he was. A f***ing thick c*** who took a team from around 19th to finishing 10th in the space of 18 months. Not to mention the brilliant job he did at Bolton. We have no idea who Allardyce wanted to sign for us. It's been firmly established in the past 3 years that the manager of our club has little say in such matters. I don't like the guy, or his brand of football. But of all the managers we've had since Bobby, he's by far the one i'd have the most confidence in to keep a poor team in the PL. His record speaks for itself, as much as the biased bunch would like to deny it. I remember in the January window when he got the boot we made approaches for West Brown & Lassana Diarra. The first our offer was rejected and the second he was asking for a crazy amount of wages so talks broke down. I agree with your post, like.. but I think that based on the type of players he brought in whilst here it was clearly what kind of squad he was trying to assemble.

Paedo.

Aye fair play like, Best & Perch have both been poor and clearly Routledge hasn't stepped up to the mark in training. I'd like to think that his plan was to just pad the squad out before adding some quality to it as time went on.. we'll never know now though.

Ben Arfa? Tiote? He's made more good signings than bad ones.

Hughton was close to the players and had a bond, Pardew isn't and therefore will have no qualms with shifting on the big earners in January. With a much smaller wage budget NUFC becomes a more saleable asset. Of course we'll have no decent players, a threadbare squad and be at least one division down come the time of the sale.. but that's how Mike Ashley operates. Stack 'em high, sell 'em cheap.
