This might just be wishful thinking but I think he actually likes being here, the big fish in a relatively small pond (on field success). Given how much of his early career was wasted I think he sees this as a good situation for him, he likes the city, seems to get on great with the other players and the manager. He knows he's pretty much the main star.

Have they put a time down for the earliest we can get on the pitch? I'd imagine they'll let us on it about quarter to 10.

Problem with that is that it may well have Pardew's number 1 target but we all know he's got very little to do with player recruitment. If he doesn't like that he can walk.

I've removed pretty much all NUFC related stuff from twitter apart from mates and a few Journo's, the general NUFC twitter crack is awful.

The man shouldn't be allowed to speak in public.

I'm sure everything will be fine left in the changing rooms, can't remember if they locked the doors the last time I played there but I'm sure stuff is pretty safe.

Think you have to put your bags behind the goal you're defending and swap over at half time. Do we have to use jumpers for goalposts too? No that would be daft.

Captain takes it then.

Whats going to be the plan if a team gets a pen? The person who's fouled gets to take it seems fair.

They've already got a one trick winger who they seem to be pretty fed up of.

Could see him at Hull.

No, just no.

Black Garter.

Yep, hope killing once again.

Too wishful thinking that the talk-in has been postponed till after a possible meeting between Pardew and Dekka/MA as it would look a bit daft him speaking in public and then being sacked a few days after?

If needed I can bring a keeper top for the away team.

Appears to be the light coming through the kit. So it's gonna be a thin material.... Mentions on .co.uk about a mesh material used for the panels.

Can we change hoof ball to static movement ball with the occasional hoof?

QPR and Wigan aren't bad away days. Reading is just s****. Any news on MaCmanamans shattered leg? No but Dave Whelan broke his in the 1960 FA Cup Final, he wouldn't like you to know though.

No idea, i've never met him. Supposed to be a really decent bloke, obviously the fact he's an England international footballer millionaire who has everything a 20 something bloke can want automatically makes him a tit.

Completely agree but it just so happens that the majority of this team is suited to that style of play. I agree, the problem is that we don't have a system. If we lose one player say Ben Arfa for instance at times we've completely changed the shape and formation to accomodate his replacement. It will be a lot easier for us to supplement the type of players we have with like for like replacements. As it looks like Pardew will be here for the short term at least we need to decide on a system and build the team around that. I'm not a massive fan of Martinez but he seems to have his formation and stick to it, look at the cup final for instance. His usual right wing back was injured so he moved arguably his best player to fit the system they are trained in.

Ahh yes the year after they shared the charity shield, the death of competition.

When did this death of football start?
