I love his honesty there but Kuqi played about 40 minutes total, he'd have been better served saying Shola or Lovenkrands.

Yet another? He's made 9 appearances ffs, about half of which were starts.

So did Nolan until he left, most players get on with the manager while at the club. There's nothing to suggest that Pardew wants rid of Barton. He might have been forced to get rid of him by the blokes upstairs (if you subscribe to that sort of theory) but I get the feeling that Pardew quite rates him.

Smith was £6m. Although nobody really knows where he was actually signed to play; right wing if you're Fat Head.

Yeah, wasn't one of the things he's said at those talk-ins that he loves working with Pardew and that Pardew was working hard to get him the deal he wanted or something?

you might as well have deleted the last two sentences of that and just wrote "...no"

I still think it'll be Coloccini.

nice to see they're getting him used to a regular matchday at the Stadium of Light. Very quiet.

We've bid for Gameiro and Pardew confirmed his interest in Erdinc, and we're constantly being linked with Shane Long. Why do people think we're not going to get another striker in? Everything points that way so far.

I thought it was supposed to be confirmed tomorrow, July 1?

haha

Whole of Spain is full of half finished construction jobs.

The last line of that article. Sounds exciting though, he's from South America and that.

They couldn't even be arsed to give the stadium name capital letters ffs. 'dean court'

I've seen that Ings score some nice goals on the Steve Claridge and Clem Show but I think I also remember him fluffing a pen.

says who?

Same here. Even on appearance alone, taking all actual ability and putting it to one side: Pardew is a decent-looking, well groomed silver fox who wears a full suit on matchdays. Bruce looks like a 60-year old lesbian who's had a frying pan to the nose wearing a shell suit two sizes too small. I reckon Brucey's got the biggest kite in the public eye, like. It's growing at a rate even exceeding Ian Beale's.

They've spent about £2m getting El-Mohammady on a permanent transfer as well. Another decent but not amazing one.

Watched the highlights last night, some hilarious parallels with the mens team. First World Cup game ends in a draw; a 1-1 draw. Against a team that they are widely expected to beat. England take the lead. The other team equalises through a speculative punt and a goalkeeping error (was it Green's lass in nets?) The rest of the performance is insipid and a big black striker misses some good chances. Oh, and the only female footballer I could name was Kelly Smith and she was still class last night, she actually looked like she'd compete in the mens game. Better than her namesake Alan, for sure.

It's very similar to when Ashley first arrived, actually. We brought in quite a few players in the first window under Allardyce but in reality all he was doing was recycling the Parker, Dyer and Solano fees. We only spent net like £30,000 or something.

Yes, but they should be excluded from everything but the hottest, loudest and most dangerous jobs.

Shane Ferguson. I have high hopes for Tavernier too.
