Can anyone find a YouTube clip of the Simpsons bit where Artie Ziff talks about his successful corporation going to shit? Seems pretty appropriate at the minute.
Ziff (MON): And then... the bubble burst!
Homer (mackem fans): Bubbles can burst?!?!!
There were two or three instances during the match where he misplaced a pass no longer than five or six yards straight to a red shirt. That will get groans and abuse no matter who the player is.
Loads of people said Cisse would never happen when the price was suggested to be £10m. I think it's not about the price but how much of a good deal we're getting etc. If there was a player who we rated at £25m who we could get for £16m (assuming the wages and everything else also fitted the blueprint) then I've no doubt Ashley would attempt to get him in.
I must admit, as much as I like Pardew, it's starting to become really annoying that what comes out of his mouth in pressers etc never seems to match what we're doing on the pitch.
He's like one of those really shit ventriloquists
