LucaAltieri

He reminds me of a young Andy Cole.

Don't talk sense with Ronaldo.

Take what, a ban? It's the official Ligue 1 account. Cool your jets.

So he'll be cheaper, too. So much win in this move.

Jokes, bro. Hey, he puts in a good shift. Plays consistently in any role you put him in. Can play with anyone. Doesn't need to be in a lone striker role to be effective.

I'd rather have Lovenkrands back than Bent.

I heard that he's illegitimate, he's got no birth certificate, he has AIDS and can't get rid of it. Not sure how true that is, though.

Anyone who has seen his games recently shouldn't be in any doubt. The sad part is he's still good enough to do the business in MLS

If this is true, I'm a little less apprehensive. I mean, it still sucks, but it puts a lot of faith in Carr, which I'm good with. Joe Kinnear: mediator. Yikes.

That's not the worst idea you've ever had. It's not a good idea, I'm just saying it's not the worst you've ever had.

An Italian DoF is a terrible idea. The annual transfer carousel over there is ridiculous. Higher turnover than Tesco checkout workers.

Danny Simpson.

This theory will go down well. 7 years ago Good to see Pards' scouting is up to date.

Only 36! That's 18 in MLS years.

Yeah, but no fucker wants to go to Florida. That's the problem.

Titus Bramble without all the (alleged) rape.

Miguel Piñero - a close personal friend of the football elite, evidently.

As if we'll take the cups seriously. We haven't in 5 years of Ashley. Cups are for the kids to get a run out before for their move up to the first team... as they should be.

I would have said I think they'll be aiming for a Champions League win over the Premier League, but then Di Matteo... so...

Can't sit through the video? I've sat twenty feet from the plank. He's a little less irritating in the flesh.

Can see the Mackems signing him tbh.

We'll finish top ten next season under Pardew. Calling it now.

My seat was behind a huge concrete block last time i went, could only see 25% of the pitch(thankfully as it turned out) Horrible stadium Did we get mauled by the tigers?

Been on the ketamine?

Fair point. But... last season he was decent. The football was decent too. I know this season has been awful but none of us know which way next season would go under Pardew. We can't know. Since we can't know what kind of football we'll have until we're playing it, the only stuff that matters are the external factors like stability and relationships in the club. Of course you can know. I know Brendan Rodgers won't play a negative long ball game next season, I know Pulis will play that. I know Arsene Wenger will still be one of the best managers in the country, I know Alex McLeish won't be. You're talking as if football is won and lost purely and simply on the basis of chance and we should stick with Pardew because we have a 50% chance of heads. Of course you can know these things. Based on what he's done for us so far it IS 50/50. We've had a season we were happy with and a season we weren't happy with. Who knows what we're getting next season?
