  1. I was kind of hoping that Pardew and Llambias would band together to marginalise Kinnear.

     

    See how it pans out, but I have heard from a reasonable "sauce" that it was Dekka who appointed JFK without consulting the owner and not the other way round, which confounds most previous posts. It's feasible. As MD you hire and fire and don't have to consult shareholders (or owner in this case) to do so.

    Make sense ?  Nah, but probably about as much sense as anything else does.

     

    Makes no sense at all when JK can't even pronounce David's name.

  2. The key to all this is the following sentence from the official club statement:

     

    "Chief scout Graham Carr and manager Alan Pardew will report into Joe."

     

    Clearly this is not a football move and stinks of a paranoid Ashley on a power trip.

     

    Just about the only glimmer of hope I have is that we're only in the middle of June, and that there is still plenty of time for this all to be sorted out by the time August rolls around. I refuse to believe that we will go into the season with this "structure", and with everyone still in their place as they are now. Something will give.

  3. What in the actual fuck?

     

    I am convinced this is happening because as a fanbase we have become way too docile and have allowed this owner to do whatever he likes without being held accountable. No one should have ever waltzed into the club and changed the stadium's name. When we let him off for that one, he knew he could do anything he wanted.

     

    As far as this mumbling fool here, well, he should not be allowed to move up to the city. Simple as that. We're thick and if he's as smart as he says he is, he'll stay well the fuck away.

  4. Can't say I hate any of them, and certainly don't wish any of them death by buggery or whatever is fashionable these days.

     

    People asked for someone with football knowledge to have a role high up at the club as we have none, and then get all uppity when the call is answered. Give the old lunatic scrote a chance. :(

     

     

    /What a f***ing choice.... :lol:

     

    I would half give credence to this appointment if it came about the right way. If there had been an official press release from NUFC, with comments from JFK, AP and DL giving details and a plan of action. It would at least show unity and the intentions of the club's top brass.

     

    What we get instead is this freak mouthing off to Sky, with no knowledge of the whereabouts of the club's manager, and no word from the club itself.

     

    They can all get to fuck.

  5. That's the funny thing about Suarez: he seems by all accounts to be a perfectly nice person and entirely professional off the pitch/in training.

     

    He's just a c*** when he plays.

     

    I honestly hear that about anyone with a bad reputation :lol: "Oh, I know he acts like a dickhead when everyone is looking but in real life he's a great bloke" :lol:

     

    You hear it, but it isn't really true, is it? It's just apologists making excuses. Most of the leagues known arseholes have at least as many scrapes off the pitch as on it. Whether it's fighting in nightclubs, f***ing around or just being a dick to people.

     

    Given how bad Suarez behaves on the field, you'd expect there to be at least a couple of off-field stories but there aren't any (at least that I'm aware of).

     

    Maybe he is just a coward? I doubt he would have the balls to go up to someone like Ivanovic when there isn't the ref, other players, tv etc.. and bite him.

     

    No idea why that's the case, nor am I trying to defend him. It just strikes me as something that sets him apart from the run-of-the-mill c*** footballer.

    The guy has always struck me as one of those type people with severe impulse problem or inner demons, rather than just an evil person. He's clearly extremely competitive to the point of being a dirty player, and most of his offences have been been "rush of blood" type moments. I seriously doubt he spent time making the decision to bite either Ivanovic or Bakkal. The guy got a bit annoyed, had a rush of adrenaline and lost his head. I seriously doubt he can control himself. :lol:

     

    In addition to all the diving, cheating and injury feigning of course. Fkn adrenaline.

  6. All the usual suspects for NUFC matches.

     

    Special mention to the two great wins over Villa as both were great matches.

     

    NUFC 4 AVFC 3 (Dwight Yorke hattrick)

    NUFC 3 AVFC 0 (3 great goals, 2 by Bellamy and the volley by Shearer)

     

    Non NUFC:

     

    Germany 1 Bulgaria 2 (94 WC QF) - Stoichkov and Letchkov  :smitten: What an excellent game of football that was.

     

    England 3 Cameroon 2 (90 WC QF) - Back when international football was good

  7. Souness>Pardew

     

    Souness = Pardew for me

     

    The only thing that gave me hope about Souness is the fact that due to his health circumstances, he may have changed his view on life, and therefore on football.

  8. Daily Mail reckons PYE is willing to go to Swansea instead of Spurs as his dad idolised Laudrup. Think we can forget about him.

     

    Not convinced with Bony - really think a more versatile wide forward/striker à la PYE/Remy would be most suitable. In fact, I think it's probably the only addition we need as the squad stands right now.

     

    Dafuq is PYE?

  9. Sánchez confirmed he's staying by the way, told so by the club. His form indeed picked up towards the end of the season so I'm willing to give him another year. Right now he's ahead of Pedro anyway.

     

    I know you watch those two players more frequently than I do, but IMO Pedro is twice the player Sanchez is.

  10. Sammy Scored twice in a 2-0 win in the first game of the 7 aside hong kong tournament we're taking part in, our 7 aside team is class!

     

    Scored another 2 in todays 5-0 win. Inman also scored and Richardson got a couple. Mackems drew wioth a cricket club :lol:

     

    Inman scored again along with Tavernier in a 2-0 win over Leicester to finish top of the group and advance to the knockout stages.

  11. Pardew's different from the team just being rubbish imo, this is a man who does not want the team he's managing to finish in the top six of the league in case it jeopardises his own job, a man who makes no attempt to win certain football matches (any away game), indeed a man who doesn't even attempt to compete in games against certain teams, only turns up because he's obliged to by the fixture list. He's a spineless shitbag who, far from wanting to make me feel proud of NUFC, attempts to make me feel like I support a tiny diddy little team who have no business even being on the same pitch as a magnificent club like Man City or Spurs and that I should feel lucky for what I've got and shut the f*** up.

     

    The very least I expect from NUFC is that I feel proud of them as a club and our manager goes in front of cameras every week and basically tells me I have nothing to be proud of.

     

    He is utter poison.

     

    Top top post :clap:

  12. The argument against keeping Pardew seems to be 'what if he does badly and there is nobody else available?'. But what happens if we bring in Jol and we're 17th come Christmas? There are no certainties in any of this.

     

    I'm content in giving Pardew a chance. If he fails then fair enough but I think every manager deserves one bad season. Two bad seasons and he's got to go.

     

    I agree. I've highlighted the word 'manager' though because Pardew isn't one. A proper manager would lead by example and admit to his own failings before pointing fingers at some stage when things have gone horribly wrong as they have this season.

  13. “I think it’s been a year where Vurnon’s had to adapt in a team that’s not done well and wasn’t playing its best football."

     

    We might have played better football if...

     

    f*** it.

     

    :lol: I know that pardspheel man. Come close to posting several times in the past couple of days, only to just think "fuck it" to myself. There's just so much bullshit, so much that is wrong with every word that knacker says it's enough to drive you mental.
