Did they mention websites like SDnews? Sorry I will never believe Arsene Wenger is sitting in his office, reading The Sun and thinking "So Cabaye is available, is he!?". It is ridiculous maybe he discovered Ozil was available by reading Marca?

because its hard to believe us actually buying someone?

I'd say we're fine for cbs for now but could use an actual rb to spare, maybe a haidara like signing.

we have a PR department?

Daniel Taylor ‏@DTguardian 4m Mourinho delivered very eloquent tribute to Eusebio. "Guys like him never die. The history is there, and history does not let him die."

Darren Fletcher? aye lead commentator for them I think

that was brief

No it's not, and what have we won? 10 league games out of 20 this season? At the end of the day it's a results game. We're not the Newcastle of old but nor do we play an awful brand of football. I've seen much worse at NUFC. Well that's ok then. Carry on regardless because I saw Souness' sides and Allardyce's sides and Bill McGarry's sides and they played worse than Lord Pardew's. Utter turd. Lord Pardew man I've given the bloke pelters when he's deserved it, the arse end of last season for example, however I cannot reconcile the way we have performed for the majority of this season with the hatred some have for the bloke. We're six points of the Champions League places for fuck's sake. I know he's not a likeable person, I know he talks shite but claiming you'd rather have Billy fucking Davies than him is just laughable. The fact of the matter is that this season he has got us playing a brand of football that while not Keeganesque is effective. We retain and recycle possession well, we work hard, we create a decent number of chances and if we do take a chance we try to make sure we don't leak one at the other end and rely on our pace to play on the break. I'd like to see us knock in three or four every week but if that's not possible for whatever reason picking up the three points is a not a bad substitute for seeing a game with just the one or two goals. The Billy Davies point comes from watching his side destroy a side we couldn't score past. Not scoring one and sitting on it, and more often than not losing out because of it. His team actually carried on trying to score. I didn't say I wanted him to manage Newcastle rather I'd prefer him to the boremonger in charge now. you did see the west ham line up today right?

oh dear David Moyes

You must be happy with our current league placing/cup appearances then? Patronising tit I'm over the moon with the league performance. :up: Not happy with the cups - though the league cup was a tough draw. honestly I was more annoyed by the League Cup defeat because we really should have won that game in 90 minutes.

It's nothing to be over the moon about. We should call him Alan Pardew. 8th but also still in touching distance of teams further ahead of us. and with half a season to focus on the league and a lot of players who want to get into world cup squads so will want to perform through the season

Can't see any reason he wouldn't be here next month tbh he ain't gonna walk or he'd have gone the moment JFK bullshitted his way back into the club. And he's not likely to get sacked in the near future.

even though he's currently doing better than a majority of them?

yeah I'd like to reestablish this to any kind of coverage of the fa cup at all by anybody and the ridiculousness of it all.

to be expected when it was his first game since august (unless I've forgotten one)

Agree with this like. But the thing is he's 27 now - how much more time does a defender need to learn not to do daft shit? The sort of thing he's prone to is what you could expect from a young player, but he's way passed that point now. Sadly I don't think he has the footballing intelligence to ever rid himself of these errors :/ agree with this but I'd still hold onto him he is capable when with the right partner to be a reasonably reliable cb with the occasional lapse into insanity. 5th place season the games he appeared in he was a big part of what was done right at that point and him and Colo were a good pairing. He needs to look back at what he was doing then and try and return to that mindset otherwise he will be sitting on the bench for quite a while.

Steve Bruce, Harry Redknapp, Steve Clarke and even Billy Davies are better and play a more attractive brand too. There's probably others but I can't be arsed. Not many would be happy with Bruce, Don't get me started on Redknapp or Davies and Clarke's football was meh. As for better Bruce hasn't done as well as Pardew has Davies has part of one prem season under his belt and that was Derbys 15 point season and Clarke is impossible to judge because his good season was with Lukaku who may have helped WBA beyond where they should be. Redknapp has done better but I can't stand him

Its coverage is one of the reasons why the FA cup has gone downhill. ITV ruin any football they cover but they're not the only ones guilty of the BS that surrounds this competition. The over-saturation on the "romance" and "magic" of the cup what fucking magic its football and usually not very good football, giantkillings can be amusing as a neutral but it just makes the later rounds duller to watch as a neutral. The fact that every round Man Utd are in regardless of who the hell they're playing they will be on TV without fail is bad too as I simply don't care how many they put past whomever they're playing. Also Ronny fucking Radford

if you choose to believe Anal Oliver then Norwich and QPR want him and he apparently needs to move to get into the Argentina World Cup squad..............which I would have thought there was 0 chance even if he was playing every week.

You know I think I'm growing to hate the fa cup purely because of the stupid clichés used when its on.

God I hate Itv

never happened as far as the FA is concerned, why I'm surprised I don't have a clue.
