Interpolic

Very little about Ashley's Newcastle makes sense, therefore I think a lot of people have stopped asking questions.

This is why he should be playing every week, rather than being given a few minutes here and there.

Yep, hate them.

Neil Cameron's got an uncanny knack of making the reader feel like they're simply reading his internal monologue. Not in a good way.

My face was reading what I said then I saw I called him a gobshite at the end so I'm OK about it tbh. Canny creepy like, the article.

Get in.

Sake. True though. It's not like. Blaming the fans for the past shite is unfair. Fans who abused protesters? Nah not unfair at all People who abused protesters fair enough, but I think people who had a different opinion on Pardew are entitled. They deserve what they wanted: Pardew. They weren't part of the solution, they were part of the problem (often actively stymieing the efforts of those who did try to oppose Pardew). I just can't see why they ought to benefit from the spoils of his removal. What do you propose? One manager for us and one for them? They should start supporting Palace.

He was making a rape joke. No way.

Crazy that like. A lot of people seem to have forgotten that game against England when he scored a free kick after he probably should have been sent off, was a really big deal at the time as it meant we didn't qualify for the World Cup but doesn't seem to get mentioned anymore. One of my earliest football memories.

The deal's off mate - SSN.

Missed out the bit before that as well, the full exchange was: Reporter: Your first game at Selhurst Park Alan, you must be very excited? Pardew: Yeah, really thrilled. Can't wait. Anyway, ask me about Yannick Bolasie. Reporter: What? Pardew: Go on... Reporter: ... Pardew: ASK ME ABOUT YANNICK BOLASIE! Reporter: Yannick Bolasie? Pardew: Great question. You can never say never - and I definitely learned that at Newcastle. But it would take an extraordinary bid.

What did he say about this? "You can never say never - and I definitely learned that at Newcastle. "But it would take an extraordinary bid."

After he went to Swansea on a free last summer and has done practically nowt? Ridiculous, that.

:lol:

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.
