Sounds like him criticising Ashley to me... He said the other day he was basically fine with it and was certain we'd replace him in the summer.

Alan Pardew, battling bravely against adversity since 2010.

Would be suicide.

:lol:

Inclined to agree. Pardew is averse to playing anyone that won't graft or put in a defensive shift.

Completely disagree with that.

Anyone got minutes per goal/assist stats for Ben Arfa/Robert/Ginola/Bellamy? Would put this end product argument to bed.

Yeah. Also our next best creative player has been on the bench or the subject of a mystery absence of some sort. Poor Pards.

It's quite unbelievable that you continue to come out with stuff that the rest of us knew was wrong years ago. I think he's correct in saying he'd have been under more pressure, probably incorrect in saying that means he would have been binned. The press largely look after their own.

neesy, you're fucking killing me recently.

Well through the middle we've got that famous playmaker Vurnon Anita. Then out wide we've got Dummett and a centre forward to provide quality crosses from the left, then from the right the crosses are winging in from a centre back and central midfielder. Well Cisse might not get much service from that line up, but crafty Al has made sure we don't concede goals with such a solid line up. Blame the manager, suppose it's an easy cop out, like. Probably carried Cabaye to Paris on his back. Nobody is forcing him to play a flat 4-4-2 with 3 centre backs and a midfield composed of a centre forward and 3 central midfielders.

Might as well rename us Newcastle United Nil.

It's the way the manager thinks tbf, the difference is that one idiot's prehistoric viewpoint has a direct effect on NUFC's fortunes and the other idiot's doesn't.

Neil.

Sick of the pleb's "you should be grateful" bullshit.

As opposed to the actual reaction to the actual quotes yesterday, when various people called him a fucking moron?

Not one yellow card for us in the 3 games he's been banned from the stadium btw.

Haven't seen you on here for a while, welcome back.

It's hard to have that much of an interest in who comes in anymore, particularly if you're talking about flair players who might be deemed a luxury by the meatheads managing the team.

I know, someone who cost £17m before he'd even played/excelled in anything beyond the Belgian league.

Trying to get a ticket for that as well, fuck knas why. Cheap and local and doesn't fund record NUFC profits I suppose.

Wonder whether Man Utd would be doing better if they'd gone for Martinez. I think they would.
