Well blocked Jose.

Shaky stuff.

I bet Messi thought that if this day ever came it would be a bright spring day in April or May and he could just hoy the piss down. The cup of piss would have an umbrella in it, and he could go sunbathing or surfing or something and forget the indignity he'd just been through because he doubted Kevin Nolan. As it happens, it's December - he'll do the deed and have nowt to go outside to except the freezing cold snow. 8 goals by December man. Nolan took that bet and fucking blitzed it.

We need the points man.

HAHAHAHA 8 goals for Nolan. Get the fuck in lads.

Agreed. He's a massive, grammatically incorrect elipsis, been saying it for years. I'm sure there used to be a chant.

Bloody hell, Carroll was clean through if he trapped that.

Handball man, ffs.

@ that guy walking around in an 'ASHLEY' t-shirt. Hopefully he doesn't get separated from his mates.

A few of Keegan's comments: "They can't be trusted - they tell you one thing and do another". "Mike Ashley knows nothing about football and Llambias knows even less". "You'd have a conference call about a player and agree to offer £2m... they'd go behind your back and agree to offer £1m in the knowledge that it would get rejected". Nothing we didn't know, but he wasn't holding back.

In what sense? A week ago I thought we'd get a point, now I think we'll get beat. We were going to have a shite December whoever was in charge. This is why Ashley should have put his hand in his pocket in the summer and bought more quality and more cover, rather than binning his manager when the lack of squad depth inevitably began to show. You can't have it both ways.

What't the actual point of a 5.5 year contract if they've agreed that there's no compensation btw? Just saves em negotiating new contracts? Actually, maybe I've stumbled across something here - was Ashley pissed off that Hughton was reaching the end of his deal and asking for proper wages and more managerial control, and didn't want to be in that situation again? Again, I dunno why I bother theorising about this shit as it always assumes there's any logic at play. Tbh I think the reason for the long contract is just for the sake of another kick in the bollocks for the fans at the end of a terrible week, but who knows.

FUCK OFF. Pardew - "It is not something I want and I certainly hope it doesn't last too long. But if there is a protest for Chris in terms of a nice protest and fans wanting to show him their support then I don't have a problem with that. That is their right." Nice of him to let us away with that, eh? It's all designed to wind us up, this. I hope he's sat in the dugout fucking petrified tbh, knobhead.

Well they just made that up after the event, didn't they? Remember that they have a track record of lying. But yes, I agree that it's an insult to Chris Hughton. It was probably designed to be insulting.

I hope I never hear thousands of geordies chanting the words "bum chum" like.

That's half the worry.

That thing in the Journal article about Ashley being fucked off with Hughton for buying Best and Perch was absurd btw. Half of the reason we ended up with Best was that the club hummed and harred in negotiations for Beckford and Moses.

Make sure you remind people, you'll look super-clever with all the ringing Pardew endorsements flying around at this point.

What if it'd been Jol? And don't say Jol wouldn't have taken it in a million years, treat it hypothetically. In exactly the same situation, Jol would be a cunt by proxy. Hmmm yeah perhaps, but people would have been more accepting. Point is that people are kicking off about Pardew for a variety of reasons of which him being a sneaky fucking cunt is just one. The main reasons I'm unhappy with it are that he's a crap manager who is in no way qualified for the job and is a downgrade on what we had.

Clearly wants COCKTWAT to sign him. Cocktwat. I looked for the wordplay, and was delighted to realise that there wasn't any.

We're evens to get <42.5 points. That's got to be a licence to print money now, not that I'd ever put money on it.
