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'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
-
Damn it, I misquoted, I am ashamed!
-
Deserved win in the end but man that was ugly, the Big Sam way!
-
Manager is never entirely to blame for problems on the pitch. Unless it's Pardew, everything is Pardew's fault, always!
-
See ya later dick head, glad you took one last opportunity to show the world how much of a prick you are!
-
I don't mind having a cunt in the side, I think every team should have one, especially in the Championship, but I'd rather have one that offered us a bit of quality too. Plus I don't think the fans would warm to him any time soon and that's not good for the team. Better options out there for just shy of £5m, move on.

According to reports it's a disagreement on his contract and not his medical report apparently: http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/541672/Cheick-Tiote-Newcastle-to-Galatasaray-transfer-off-contract-problem

I haven't even bothered to read it but haven't we actually bought less players than we've sold anyway and on lower contracts? #Mackematics

Not that long but you can tell it's mentally scarred him They will struggle to get him on the training pitch if that lad signs. You can see how nervous Haidara is of any physical contact these days and he has scarcely played since. In which case it's hardly a massive loss to the club, is it? Ship Haidara on to somewhere else where they play a softer, less aggressive game - like Tiddlywinks or My Little Pony. I'm confused, could you explain how you would know that he's a brony please?
-
If we end up with McManamanamanaman because this cunt doesn't sign he will be forever held in the same disdain as him.
-
Looking back at it still now it's unbelievable that (a) it was waved on at the time and (b) he escaped any retrospective punishment for nearly turning Haidara's knee inside out. Could have ended a professionals career and everyone shrugged bar NUFC, still makes me angry.
