Mattoon

Would love to hear how they try and defend this clown on MOTD tonight but haven't got the stomach to watch that again.

I'm fairly sure no amount of bad press concerning nufc will affect SD in a bad way. I guess what I mean to say is until and unless he starts getting picked up on by mainstream media on what we can all see is happening. Are they blind, choose not to see or just far enough departed from the club to not see it though?

He's going nowhere, all this praise for "our" financial position, when the truth is he's happy to own self sufficient driftwood. As long as we exist in the Premiership without making waves it's costing him nothing. He can shove whatever the club "doesn't need" under his fat bastard mattress whilst his real passion gets free global advertising. All he has succeeded in by putting us on a financially sound footing is giving himself power. He doesn't need to sell us and until (and in the unlikely event that) he starts getting bad press that could affect his beloved SD he won't go unless someone offers him a lot more than the club is worth. It's just not in his best interest to lose his cash cow and IMO it'll take a good whack to convince him otherwise!

Aye and even some stupid b******s on here will continue to find excuses for the c***. There are a few "usual suspects" missing tonight I notice. Probably busy researching stats about science.

Saw this week, culminating in today from a mile off, think we all did if we're being honest, doesn't make it any easier to swallow. Sick to death of the lot of them unbelievable that people still defend this fuckwitt and don't accept that he's part of the cancer and completely complicit to everything wrong with the club. Fuck the lot of em, they've managed to turn a promising team into a clueless shitheap and a once proud footballing club into a soulless advertising showreel for S***** D*****

I thought we were in for that Brazilian Neyman

Couldn't get him over the line

Got to love Cisse's tenacity, he's been pimped to every country that has a football league and his feet are firmly on SJP soil, if he resists Cardiff too! Now if only he could show that kind of determination on the pitch...

He must feel like he's wasting his life and talent, scouring the French leagues for months on end for what?? A lowball transfer offer and throw on the stack of oh we tried paperwork.

More money he keeps the quicker our loan to him is gone and he has no reason to stay I would love to believe in this concept. It would make me feel slightly better about the lack of ambition. I honestly believe if he got his money back he'd stay, not only to keep taking but because of the huge amount of media exposure his shitty brand gets for free on a weekly basis.

We have HBA we can finally give a starting position to #Likeanewsigning

So after we've signed no fucker and we're 1-0 down to the Mackums tomorrow do I have permission to smash the first person to shout Pardew give us a wave?

This, easy option every time, useless bastards

Won't.......let..........hope...........creep........in!

I would tend to agree that there's skulduggery, smokes and mirrors. Whether that is to placate the fans or hoodwink the media I couldn't speculate but I don't believe some of the bids we make are of a serious nature.

We'll get a central midfielder on loan to plug the gap Cabaye left in the summer Of 2016

Mackems will be laughing their tits off now, perfect time to play us.

Why does he not see Shola coming on completely destroys any momentum we have in every game ever?!?

Fucking joke

Pardew not deserve some credit for us playing some fantastic football this half then? Absolutely and I'll be delighted if we come out and do it all again in the second half, just takes more than one half of football for me to trust him again in the slightest! But yeah, fair play, it's only taken him til now to put HBA where he should be.

Shola on for HBA half time, let's contain them and protect the draw!

Need a result here with Arsenal looking likely to lose against Southampton, need to keep the 3 point gap!

Ok so all those who agreed on benching Ben Arfa, would you care to explain yourselves?

#letsbeavvinyer

Who's this Cabaye everyone's been talking about? I'm pretty sure Ben Arfa is our best player ATM
