I'm not even from the area and I love outing the inbred nonce sympathisers, half the reason I come in here.

Quoted from the same write-up by Louise Taylor. "Zaha, Andros Townsend and, when fit, Yohan Cabaye will be integral to such varied gameplans but Benteke seems key to Pardew’s creation of the type of three-dimensional team he once envisaged constructing around Carroll." Pardew the versatile, tactical genius. There's still vomit residue on my tonsils, long after reading that misrepresentation of The King. Pity his plan didn't come together as he was busy whoring Carroll out to any club that would listen. The only 3 dimensional thing about Pardew is the immense size of his over-inflated ego.

Maybe he's talking about watching him play for Liverpool or West Ham?

The guy is obviously an odious twat that plays disgusting football but he doesn't particularly bother me, he gets the odd upset but he'll never amount to anything. He's certainly no Allardyce or Pardew dislike wise, just football wise.

I'm more surprised at the fact Kanji is surprised at the content considering who posted it.

I can't see Colback playing, he gives away too many free kicks in stupid areas and QPR only score from set pieces (like us) so why give them ammo? No doubt Hayden steps back in after a well earned rest 100%

The same QPR that struggled against relegation candidates Blackburn? I know a QPR supporter, goes to a lot of games and he's seriously shitting it, he said the only hope he's hanging on to is our poor form down south. They can't buy a goal from open play but have been dangerous at set plays, so long as Colback isn't available to give away needless free kicks we should be fine. These are an upper midtable team at best.

Hayden ha played a lot and I'm not convinced with Perez in this league, but I do think we'll improve a lot over the next few months. Really looking forward to seeing Mitro and Gayle together. At the moment I think we're winning games more due to our individual players ability and a tight back four than anything else. All of our defenders were here last season whereas our entire midfield and attack, bar shelvey and gouffran, are new signings. Once they click as a unit I think we may actually start scoring the odd goal from open play. I think Rafa is taking this cautiously, he knows how fragile our players have been and he knows how to build a team from the back and once the players at the front and in the middle begin to trust those behind them we'll become more expansive. We're just building momentum, ethos and team spirit at the moment and the confidence is growing for all to see. There's bound to be hiccups along the way but with the foundations being built now they'll be less destructive when they do happen.

Trying not to get too confident but after our recent performances and QPR's form I really fancy us to take all the points here. Another professional performance away from home and a tight win.

Sounds like a man on the edge, didn't like that line of questioning.

Perfect crack covering result there like, can't complain, I want him to lose every game but for maximum told you so he's got to last as long as it takes to take them down. Can't be giving Ian Wright the ability to say he'd have turned it round.

He's a bang average keeper that performed alright in a shite team, would rather keep Krul and Darlow. He'll always be synonymous to that regime and although I don't hate him based on some nightclub waffle, I don't particularly like him either. I think he wants what's best for NUFC but strikes me as the kind of player that needs to be told what that is rather than work it out himself.

That is literally the best thing I have read on the Internet

He has a record of boom bust cycles, someone else will bring him in needing a boom when they're worried about relegation and sack him once it goes to shit, hopefully it'll be Sunderland.

Unai Emery - PFM 2016

PTSD, keeps having flashbacks of being in goal

It's clearly going to be 6-0 to Derby and us with 7 players left on the pitch.

I'd love my acne to clear up so I can start thinking about talking to girls, ain't gonna fucking happen though is it mate. Livid. Get yourself back on Warcraft, it'll all blow owa soon man

I'm too busy being a fat virgin to worry about such trivial things.

Cheap shots as always... More like a dose of brutal truth..... Nah it's unmitigated wank. McClaren lasted less than a year, Ronaldo no doubt thinks he should have been hounded out in a matter of days, much like his beloved Chelsea did with Rafa. Always makes me laugh when people wank themselves silly over the likes of Liverpool & Man U's fanbases. I'm eternally grateful we're nothing like them. There's a lot to dislike about the Liverpool fanbase and the Man U fans based outside of this area are generally the worst of the worst. However, the real fans of those sides see themselves as the custodians of their club with a responsibility to do right by it and defend it when necessary. They won't stand for being antagonised by chairmen, directors, managers or players. Ever. This is partly why they'll never be too far away from success. They expect to get back something like what they put in. That's the way it should be. As to ours: In 2007 we lost 3-1 to Rafa's Liverpool at home. Remember the (largely deserved) vitriol towards Allardyce that day? Possibly not, but I do. Skip to the same fixture in 2013. We'd lost 3-0 to Sunderland in the preceding home game, fwiw. Liverpool (managed by Brendan Rodgers and missing Suarez) absolutely dicked us off the field, winning 6-0. Six fucking nil we lost at home. Contempt for Pardew in the stadium? Virtually none. People just sat on their hands or went home. By the time the next home game (another listless defeat) arrived his name was being sung again. Our fanbase has obviously changed drastically under Ashley. They've been beaten, bullied and inveigled into submission. You might not see it. Honestly, I think you're probably the type that goes to games solely for what you get out of it - ie restpite from the mrs, your mum, chance to get drunk and bitch on about how crap your job is, whatever. That's your right. A true fan, for me, is a little different to that. Unfortunately at SJP in 2016 I don't think you're the exception. The demographic of match goers changed drastically under Ashley due to his idiotic mismanagement of the club, most die hards voted with their feet and were replaced by day trippers and the ones that stayed were just happy to be out of the house. Say what you like, they have their reasons for going to the match but the resistance to mediocrity has definitely all but dissipated. I can understand the free pass McClaren got in that he wasn't Pardew or Carver and most wanted him to do well but he should have gone sooner than he did.

Without a target man up until now he was always going to play on the right because he's so dangerous cutting in to link play or take a shot, with Mitro and to a lesser extent Murphy in the middle I think we'll see him switching to the left to knock some crosses in, more of a free role than touch line hogging.

4-4 draw then? Written all over it

I've not forgiven, nor forgot, but I'm quite willing to sweep it under the carpet for the time being as I'm happy with the way the club is being run by the right man. So long as he keeps his nose clean and leaves Rafa to it he'll not get any bother. It's only taken 10 years but the club is finally going in the right direction and there's no point in upsetting the apple cart.

Derby have only scored one goal all season, they're really struggling up front but they have been defending well and have conceded the least goals in the league with 3 also. They'll be tough to break down but if we can find a way through we should win.

The Graeme Souness school of put "good footballers" on the pitch and they will sort it out themselves. Why do we even have managers at all? Allardyce also said in his interview, "I said he could play where he likes and he were absolutely brilliant" He's a curse on the sport. My 10 year old daughter could choose an England squad and tell them to "play football" ffs
