  1. Colin Hendry has just been in my shop with his new bird, feel like I missed an opportunity to talk to him about Gazza
  2. He needs a fucking gag, cringeworthy at least.
  3. Kind of makes it even more tragic that we aren't bedding him in now. That's not how it works here though, we continue flogging the dead horse (excuse the pun) until our only option is to throw something new out there and hope it works from day one.

    We can only hope that the latter changes while the former is still here, as you say everything else just seems fruitless.

  6. If it wasn't for an overrated, loud mouthed, chest beater that Pardew's too scared to drop he would be playing regular and just the type of player that should be partnering Williamson in Colo's absence. I'm sure we wouldn't be getting spanked as much as we are right now. Yes he's a little naive and rash at times but he's young and just needs a run of games to settle and grow. As far as the Pardew/Carr relationship goes I don't want anything to change, I'd much rather Pardew struggle with what he's got and get sacked/leave than upset the apple cart and lose the best scout we've had on our books.

    I think he's a great talent with untapped potential, but don't get me wrong I think he should take blame for some of his performances but equally we should be looking at circumstances beyond his control that are stunting his effectiveness in our team. He just personifies the most frustrating facts that make up NUFC right now.

    He needs people with movement and pitch sense t pass to, not Shola. Exactly what I was going to post, our movement off the ball is non-existent at the best of times, we're in a vicious circle now where the other players see him with the ball and stay static, watching what he's going to do and expecting him to run rather than pass. While at the same time he sees there's no move my for the pass and thinks fuck it I'll take it on iyam.
  9. He has none? He is testicularly challenged for sure. He has them alright, they're hanging in a piece of string around Ashley's neck!
  10. Trouble is in any argument to their ability, there's a pattern forming, at one time Vukic was hot property across Europe, we stole a march on him iirc and we've all seen what Bigi can do, even Ferguson was showing promise when he came into out first team. Yet they ALL seem to be failing OR more likely we are failing them. None of us are in a position to say which way the blame lies but it doesn't look good on our coaching team. It's not doing Ashley's business model any good and it's not exactly making us an attractive proposition to potential youth signings. Anyone know how Good is doing btw?
  11. Or Ashley could just sell up, someone with deep pockets will come in and we'll buy 25 purples.
  12. This still up for debate Shouldn't have done it, however shouldn't be getting the punishment or vitriol they are for it.
  13. ... and for those that say they work in business or some other customer relations capacity, being a twat and a jobsworth will lose you more money in the long run than the odd "allowance" or "leeway".
  14. Rattled. And a pretty s*** response at that, which makes them look even worse than the original article. Keep at it I say, please Ronny.. Best to have stayed quiet, at least before there was a doubt about her story in how many times he used it, but they just corroborated it and made themselves look worse. One word for this, perspective, a one off where common sense states a ticking off will do.
  15. I always wants us to win but imagine all the if we do. Cracks papered over: check, sheep back on side: check, Pardew gizza wave: check
  16. Hmm, what a shame for Swansea. Pardew's a stick-around kinda guy, they should snap him up on an extended contract!
  17. Now that this pissed up tramp has walked who are they going to attribute the shite written in the match day programme to?
  18. Fwiw as far as I have heard the only principal in use over jacking it in is it being the final nail in a coffin that looks like it's been riveted. People have been patient, more so than I ever remember, it's not a stand against the Mackem result, against Pardew, Kinnear or Ashley, it's not a stand against a flimsy transfer policy, against sponsorship deals and a transparent business plan. It's the culmination of the above, not being able to stomach the business of Newcastle Direct that we've turned into, not sure who said it but it was pertinent; where there's no ambition, there's no hope, where there's no hope, there's no point. We as fans have reached the lower depths of no point with this regime and their lack of ambition. What's so difficult about that to comprehend?
  19. One game, the stats would say. I thought we played some truly lovely stuff against Norwich, why he abandoned it against Sunderland I can't comprehend mind. Well done for trying to pick a hole in one point and ignoring the rest. 1 full game granted, but it's his go-to tactic when he's under pressure, Shola on... Hoof!
  20. I'd trade a derby win for beating Man U every season, forever, tbh. Why? I'd rather beat one of the game's really big teams than an average also ran any day of any week. I'm actually surprised that everyone doesn't feel that way tbh. I'm not from the area but I have an adopted hatred for Sunlun (Not just for my love of NUFC but because of some clown I used to work with who was canned for being a scrote!) and even I know the importance of beating the great unwashed over the (not so) mighty Man U. To suggest otherwise is insane, that match is not just about the football and has more meaning than just points and league position ffs.
  21. It's not as black and white as people judge him on is the problem, yes we're 8th, yes we've won a few "unwinable" games but the manner in which we play, the negative tactics, the hoofball, it's fucking unwatchable. I'll take my chances thanks, I hate this Pardball we're playing and I hate the fact we bottle it at home against weaker opposition. I could go on..
  22. This. I don't think there's any guarantees in football with managers, you could get a highly respectable manager who just can't cut it here or someone who's scoffed at who really kicks on with a club of our size. It's always a gamble getting in a new manager, whatever the credentials. Worrying that you might get worse than what you have is short termism IMO if the current manager can't do his job properly.
  23. Sorry to be a grammar nazi TU but it should state he has no regard or an owner that disregards, either is fine and other than that the email seems fine and to the point.
