Not much difference IMO. http://images.forbes.com/media/lists/10/2010/vincent-tan.jpg LUK WHO WIN AGAIN

We've never won a single game against cuntflap city when Ben Arfa has had a run in the side. Fact.

I do find it niggling after a win with aggressive attack mode how he talks as its some adopted masterstroke. Hes changing things for the better of late so i hope he builds on it. Cue mike to drop a gigaton hbomb of turboshit soon though.

Done in tiotes predator vision too.....kikkikikkkk'

fuck off man

2 defenders brought on when 2-0 down typifies the reasons I am so critical of him and why I think I'll never be fully convinced. Just don't understand that at all.

The bit in bold is absolute bollocks by the way. Is it? They've said they don't want to be in the Europa League. They've said they don't prioritise the domestic cups. Pardew has played down Champions League aspirations so that whilst it's an alleged 'goal', it's not exactly a priority. The bolded part is 100% correct. It's all Ashley's bothered about. In the cold light of day, it's all any club (outside the top 4/5) have as their first priority, anything else is icing on the cake, secure that first, as absolutely paramount, then see what happens. Our lot happened to put it into words, but doesn't make it any less true for them all though. Don't agree at all, tbh. I highly doubt Ashley's mindset is one that is reflected in every single Premier League boardroom. The top 4/5 remark is even more irrelevant now, given how open the league is this season. So, at the start of the season do you think anyone but the top 4/5 were expecting it to be so open and didn't have getting to 40 points asap as their numero uno priority thus being safe ?? I suppose everyone prioritises Premier League survival in the same way that when humans are born, we intend to live until the next day and so on. I suppose it's numero uno priority in that sense. The absolute bare minimum. But Ashley has no substantial interest in anything beyond that, and that's what disappoints me. And I don't think there are many others in the league that have that thoroughly 'anti-sport' attitude, regardless of what backgrounds they come from. You have no proof of that. Equally neither do I have any proof of the contrary. But based upon his business track record he'll want one hell of a lot more than average, but he'll do it his way. People like him don't do second best (I've worked closely with/for a few in my time and they weren't anything like the scale of Ashley, they were "only" worth tens of millions, they were frighteningly driven/ruthless enough for me though, but I bet they were like kittens compared to this fucker) they'll do it their way and everyone be damned and they play a VERY long game. Absolutely I accept I could be totally wrong, but as ever, only time will tell but he'd be going against every instinct in his make up to be happy with so-so or bare minimum in my opinion. Who's interests does this ultimately benefit though his own interests or NUFC's success. His own brand has gained free advertising through the guise of 'showcasing'. Are their interests one and the same?

Depends if you think every chairman of every teams priority is safety above progression in a cup of league place. That assertion made about safety as paramount requires a greater level of conjecture than the details made by our own clubs official correspondence with the fans. Which is well documented on here.

No-one is saying Ashley isn't a monstrous twat, but he's a successful one, if that success rubs off/is transmitted onto the field no-one will (or shouldn't) give a shit about all that though. He's a monstrous piece of shit, get used to it, he's NOT going to change, the angst is a waste of effort/emotion. It's for exactly the last point you've made I won't accept that this run of results is down to him running the club as it should be. I'll give Pardew credit despite being one his staunchest critics but to accept what Ashley is on the basis on a 4 result upturn is defeatist and frankly daft. I do not trust the bloke to make the right decisions and he's given us frequent lisence to expect he'll do the same in future. Pardew's only here because he was daft enough to agree to provide an 8 year meal ticket imo.

Name changing the stadium, lack of investment until we're on the brink of relegation and openingly admitting we have no other priority than exist in the premier league qualifies as not doing things the right way imo. Many decisions have been made with total disregard for the support. I accept unpopular decisions have to made in the game and we can debate the semantics of 'shafting' (You damn right...) til the cows come home but I can't understand the non-chalance at the conduct of Ashley regardless of how the bloke in the thread title is doing.

I think we are tbh. Now that said, we're not doing it by throwing the owners cash at it (he just won't) but we are a big club and our means (even if only marginally exploited) are better than most but it will be a long process. There isn't a magic bullet solution, Spurs just spent £90 Million and they're below us, now they may very well end up above us but they fucking should do given the spend. As for the regime, couldn't care less who owns us or what they do/say, so long as we get better on the pitch and this season we are appearing to do just that. The current league table would suggest our "average" manager, which he is along with most others, is doing OK (or above average) enjoy it while it lasts. It could be a step in the right direction (the first of many hopefully) or it could be another peak before a trough, there's no scientific formula for "success". 'appearing just to do that'? Our ownership have time and again shafted the fans. I agree its improving but's that's some pretty short term retrospect based on four admittedly brilliant results.

Yup. There's been improvement for sure. just wish he'd think outside the box a bit on the 2nd half stuff...but that's his mentality I suppose.

The usual week-in week out spanking I expect without will do for me.

Be happy with result and shut up. Discuss opinions on the quality football played in your own time Thanks, Newcastle-Online.

Each 2nd half he is riding luck completely; Spurs game especially. It's not about 'dominating' at all and I'm pleased with the way he's got us playing going forward, finally utilising soe of the talent we have available and getting the best out of players such as Tiote. He needs to pack in this backs to the wall shit though because that's where the inconsistency in results comes from imo.

The players we have such as grafters like gouff and remy are doing him massive favours. Let the bloke buy his own and we'd be dross.

bestway4u is where i done got mine.

my nigeria shirt with this loveable plank is now completely vindicated purchase.
