I regrettably have no visual illustration of wht I mean...but I always think David Platt looks like Vic Reeves...if he was stung by 2,000 wasps

I did post it for its incredulous nature btw...just sky being mongs

sky going with a strange possible starting XI line-up, 'Pards' obviously not too impressed with Carroll and 3 centre backs it is then: Newcastle: Krul, Simspon, Coloccini, Taylor, Williamson, Enrique, Barton, Guttierrez, Tiote, Nolan, Ranger.

In thia instance and with regard to the livepool game, doesnt 'impact sub' just mean that he is better than the guy he is replacing hence the impact? Think he deserves his start tbh.

Beyawesome. Looks like Djibrioul (?) cisse's dad. If only the papers announced things this way

Most likely perennially injured and thus not good enough....one pretty good game every 8-10 games isnt worth perservering with. Ranger Ranger High Voltage all the way

This is the main issue with Taylor at the moment. He's being overshadowed by Sol in the crappiness department and it's making him look alright for a starting place (when he's obviously not). Pleasure keen to see willicini back anyhow Came in and didnt look quite as bad as everyone is making out. Much better than Sol still trying to prove hes Dorian f'ing Gray Thank you for proving my point.

Left centreback?

Willicini please

So not, in fact, at the top of a hill then. Fair paly lads, no fear addressing the big issues

He was quite correct to use that word. Rape means other things than sexually assaulting someone. Oh thats alright then. As you were then Alan. Very savvy.

Has his MOTD 'rapes him' gaff been mentioned much yet?....seems a moron to me. What an inspirational wordsmith

Quelle fucking suprise...big dutch bastard has sense

So would Wagner mind...wonder what the odds are?

On the first day of xmas Mike Ashley gave to me a Pardew in pear-shaped tree.... Thread title?

I don't see how it can't be apathy. We're completely powerless. Nothing we can say or do will change anything - Ashley is in charge and what he says, goes. We're just stuck in an endless nightmare rollercoaster. Apathy is different to impotence though isnt it? Im absolutely raging. I joked before. But can see someone really doing him harm. There must be people far angrier than I am and I'm fucking livid.

I think Pol Pot had a better understanding of what the people wanted than this fat gimmer

The wally with the brolly?b

tbh why we haven't stuck with barton in the centre is lunacy imo...not sure what guthrie is about these days tbf...always seemd a steady eddie

He is when he doesn't score. Not realy like, he's not the best on the ball and his array of passing is nowt to be envious of but he offers a bit of bite in the middle (a lot more than Guthrie has shown recently) and he always offers top support for Carroll. I don't think it's any coincidence that when Nolan plays Carroll seems x10 the player he does when he's not. His presence on the pitch (both vocaly and physicaly) seems cliche but it cannot go unoticed, he definatly is the type of charicter that can boost a team low on morale. Obviosly there are a lot of cracks there that are papered over when he gets on the scoresheet, but they aren't as bad as people tend to make out when he doesn't. Perhaps he is indeed missed in some way...but I equally don't accept this common idea that hes some massive inspirational influence to the team. That's overrated somewhat. Some people seem to think hes like some motivational raconteur when hes around.

the football league certainly overrated him

nah it'd ruin that whole 'master splinter' vibe hes been perfecting for so long

Puff Danny?
