His quotes fucking started the reports! What a prick.

SERIOUSLY?!

The only lads there would be virgins man, wayyyyy.

It's Pardew's first game at Selhurst Park that day man Ian, what the fuck you doing?

Glass seemed fairly talented player tbf, just wasn't up to it physically in more ways than one. Obviously not a patch on Ginola but he was a bit unlucky.

Peacefully in his sleep.

This is it for me. As for the idea that he's being hounded from every job opportunity because of how he phrases things is f***ing ludicrous tbh. Saying "my infidelity" is stupid but it's not the reason he's being hunted down at every opportunity. He's at the centre of a massive witch hunt, there's nothing else to it. Every single interview I hear about the case involving someone from a group that campaigns against rape and violence against women etc specifically refers to the fact that he's shown no remorse or made any sort of apology. It's almost always the first thing they say in response to the question about whether he should be given a second chance. Like it or not, there are clearly a lot of emotions riding on what he has said since being convicted. I have no sympathy whatsoever for the people who are trying to stop him from playing football. The law has established a sentence to fit the crime: if a person has served his time, that should be the end of it. I don't want to live in a society where certain crimes force people to become "untouchables" living on the margins of society for the rest of their lives. If he wants to claim that he was innocent, that's his right. If he wants to act like a complete knobhead, that's his right as well. If anyone should have a say in whether he gets to sign for Oldham or not, it should probably be the Oldham fans. One of the big problems I have with the anti-Evans arguments is that I don't want to live in a society where the way a person is treated is based on media perceptions/ what pressure groups or the most popular-est celebrities have to say on the matter and that is what is happening at the moment. He was tried under a court of law and, whether some like it or not, convicted under a court of law which is the first thing his detractors (rightly) point to. He has served, and is continuing to serve, his sentence as laid down by that same legal system. The terms of his sentence allow him to legally resume his career now and, whether others like it or not, he should probably be allowed to do so. He does have the right to act like a knobhead, just as I have the right to (and do) consider him to be a knobhead. That shouldn't mean me (or anyone else) has the right to stop him resuming his career just because they don't like him. It's why we have a legal system. Hypocrite alert: If it was NUFC, I would feel an awful lot stronger about it. It's a fair point actually, if it was NUFC and he was a better player then I probably wouldn't want us to sign him. I've been the same with other players in the past due to their off-field discretions, then they signed them anyway.

Ched Seven IMO.

It happens now and then, nobody says anything for ages, the board is seemingly in harmony, and then so total nutcase pops up out of nowhere and spouts a completely contrary opinion, claiming to be a 'realist' or whatever, and then f***s off after a couple of days. I think Dave's paying them off in an attempt to spice the place up a little. It is a bit funny seeing the entire fleet of the forum swivel their cannons in unison at the lone dinghy and sink it Yep hilarious, I'll stay and discuss or go away if you would rather? Either way my opinion is still that of a fans - which you'll dismiss as one who's on drugs I imagine You might be a fan, you can stay if you want but you'll have a hard time debating Ashley's merits on here, because that debate has moved on. If you had any new or interesting evidence to challenge the almost universally accepted wisdom that Ashley's stewardship has been awful, then fair enough, but you dont. It is like restarting a debate on autism/mmr - something that had been discredited years ago, which was occasionally dredged up and given credence to by idiots who have no new evidence for their claim, other than 'opinion'. Nonsense. That's were I am being misinterpreted, 10yrs ago I would have hated MA and I don't agree with his principles now. It's a deeper rooted problem in the new age though. Who would you rather as a chairman? Glazers? Kroenke? Lerner? Kenwright? Aside from Man City and Chelsea no-one is happy and the majority protest. Who would you rather have as an owner? Do owners need PL experience as well like? What's Ken Bates doing these days? Loads of PL experience.

Howay, let's see how many ways we can phrase it.

Nah, well used to that after the last 4 years.

FUCK ME, that was grim. Forgot all about that. I honestly didn't mind bimpy at all tbh, but why that shit craic ever found legs is beyond me. It was proper playground humour, yet it just kept on coming. Supply and demand.

FUCK ME, that was grim. Forgot all about that.

Polic must wonder how POOT has got off scot free for that one btw. Imagine if it was me. He'd have been the most sensitive soul on the planet. Good job he said it wasn't It's difficult to tell with such a multi-layered and complex character. Reet, that's me done. Everyone shut the fuck up about bimpy, man.

The hunter has become the hunted. Ah I'll be areet.

bimpy was the 40 year old man who used to call people he disagreed with gaylords without a hint of irony. An absolutely heartbreaking loss.

Not this shit again man FFS.

The vast majority of available/realistic managers that have PL experience have PL experience that is mediocre at best and abject failure at worst, because idiotic clubs like NUFC keep going back in for the same old "good football men" despite them never having proven anything to deserve the opportunity.

We can't all be Chelsea or Man City, Dave!

Absolutely massive WUM.
