Aye think about it man. You cant bum a cunt. Helmet.

The only way it would play into their hands is if it has been done deliberately to piss fans off. Whatever the sentiment about it being st james to thefans is moot. Its not that hat ananymore. Generations will grow up with it being called crap like this and just like any zeitgeist is liable to dieout. People should kick up a stink.

The only thing that would affect him would be a boycott of everything nufc. Isn't going to happen.

Its designed now to be a sports direct billboard with seats he doesn't give a monkeys

Too many occupied with keeping above RAWK. I wont be paying. Nor would i have had the gall to do what he did but i commend the principles. S He's our Rosa Parkes

It has no guarantee of income at all save for ashleys own business interests withSD. I'm no conspiricist butt the fans have defied him with great hostility;perhaps most deservedly. These are the actions of a powerful man, scorned and publicly embarrassed. Why wouldnt he take this opportunity plus the benefit of free publicity?

Gabriel Obertan has an archaelian prince piloting him from inside his head. The galaxy is on O'Briens belt.

Squad depth is terrible. particularly at the back....we've only two centre halves of prem quality and some promising young talent. Rest are all championship standard.

It would be marginally more palletable if the end product didn't look so terrible...I've seen more photogenic mass graves. Always coming after the whole farcical notion of 'ASDA'. The bloke is a cunt.

I'm not going to jump the gun kneejerking on Pardew as a manager, but he comes across as an egotistical cock there

This lad is light years ahead of Raylor defensively. The impact was immediately noticeable when he finally came into the side. I would imagine he would look a lot better if our defense wasn't clogged up with two championship defenders on the other side.

I disagree, I think the problem is that he thinks too much. He is indecisive at times though, that's true. Ah yeah that kinda makes more sense, it's like he's trying to think of every scenario that could unfold when he's holding the ball up unecessarily . I think that's kinda what I mean when I say "no footballing brain" The fact it looks like he has several brains in his bulbhead suggests that they often work at once...but on different things. Hence his all too apparent herpderpabilty.

Anyone think that if he wasn't English (and ex man united) that he would a been fucked off quite a while back?

He's one of a couple of passengers that you just can't carry at this level. 'Excellent with good players around him'wouldn't cut it even I subscribed to that viewpoint. He is very technically poor and having Williamson who has similar frailties means we are carrying players that offer very little in games where you can barely get away with carrying one. Pardew's hands are tied to some extent with a thin squad and frugal leadership who were spiltting hairs over the price of the likes of Mariappa; who would have possibly provided decent RB and CB cover. I guess we'll never know. I've always believed the way you set up at the back dictates whether you play long ball or passing football; currently only our captain and a young lad whose best position is debated are able to provide this, with the other side having a mortal fear of the ball at all times. Ferguson needs a chance to bring some footballing nous to the back.

Dear the optimists, Look on the bright side all the time and like wanking you will go blind. Yours sincerely, The pessimists.

Je ne comprendez pas ton signification? Une version merde et francaise de Wayne Routledge?

Settled back line? It's been a glaring liability since the Saylor injury. All this Ben Arfa talk is a bit of a red herring. Yes I would have liked to have seen him brought on. It wouldn't have changed the outcome dastically if he had started though tbh. The fact that championship players standard players regularly make up 50-75% of our defense shows me where the real worry lies. Pardew mind.... http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQS_RDIpOJKP36EFo5ATILo4ca-LTeQMkVAB7B1tR2xaO4GpHO-IQ ...has to be said.

He was far worse than some of the others. He's not a good footballer at all when all is said and done. The real travesty is the fact that he's the only one that management feel can play that position....which is partly down to depth.

Must score game this.

Face value?

Spent the last half hour of that papercutting my japs eye. Now that's cheered me up a bit, can someone explain Pardews masterplan 2nd half then?

Ben Arfa sub may have given us a bit of magic. May not have. Pardew is a limited manager but he is also limited by the paper thin squad he has also arguably made to work with. He is clueless with his subs and wants some stick but the problem still goes far above the team and the players. No full back and no CB in Jan was criminal.

9 times out of ten he WILL give the ball away. The problems were there to be seen with regard to FB/CB before Jan despite the good results; and all at the top still did next to fuck all to address it.
