Don't be so fucking soft. How often did Pardew come out and be positive about anything, let alone taking the club forward and implementing a footballing philosophy and instilling discipline in the squad?
However much De Jong could be an absolute key player for us, it would be suicide to rely on him being fit all season. Wijnaldum would be a great signing...but only if it's followed up with a lot more of equal quality.
On a completely off topic note, I once recreated the whole Newcastle squad on an early edition of PES and made Brian Pinas an absolute world beater. Guess I thought he was destined for big things
I'd have walked towards him, fist clenched, with a thousand profanities going through my head trying to figure out how best to make him realise that the fans are getting incredibly frustrated.
And then meekly say, "Hi Lee"
