Not sure how anyone can actually rate Dummett as being better than Haidara or Santon at anything. Other than being English and running like he has a sack of potatoes on his back.

Absolutely certain Sky turned the volume of the crowd down then.

What was Luque actually good at? Never really saw enough of him to work out his strengths or indeed his position.. He never had any success anywhere after us though, did he?

Taking away KK, all of our managers in the last 10 years have been worse. That's not saying much.

I thought he played very well - good physical presence and used the ball well. Had a better game than Colback.

The fundamental flaw in comparing the relevant strengths of our squad to, say, Everton is that you are only viewing the merits of the Everton players as coached by Martinez or Moyes and our players as coached by Pardew. That exacerbates any difference in quality between the squads.

Genuinely don't know why people give him such a slating. He rarely gets a 90 minute appearance to prove himself and, on the few occasions he does get a chance, he has been one of our better players.

Our team last year was better than 10th and our squad this season (certainly if it had HBA and MYM) is better than 10th. A decent manager would have us there quite comfortably.

Got a ticket for this - not sure if I can be bothered to go. Tempted to go just to abuse Pardew.

It'd be interesting to work out how a court would quantify the damages incurred by aforementioned Biffa in a libel case. I imagine it might be hard to prove...

How have I not seen that before?

Just noticed this beauty. I tell you what, go into the Bodega on a match day and say that to Biffa's face. He isn't wrong though. So I don't suppose anyone would have a problem with telling Biffa. Will you do it then? I don't see any particular reason why I wouldn't talk a bloke if I knew who he was. Probably not going to inconvenience myself to do so though. Given that I live in London - he can always pop down and have a word himself if he wants.

Pointy elbows. 2/10. Would not bang.

Would be delighted with Moyes, but would rather we looked abroad to be honest.

That's what I thought - that thread was then taken down..

Honigstein told me (yes I am boasting) when I asked him if Tuchel would be interested in NUFC that he is fluent in English. f***ing hell. He needs to be the one What's the story with this guy then? Can't say I've ever heard of him.

I think he's been quite highly regarded in Argentina - I think you are possibly being a bit harsh there.

I don't think, on the whole, the players we have bought aren't fit for purpose. A better manager would have made better use of the players we had last season and have this season.

Selling Rooney for Balotelli and then making Balotelli captain instead of Costa has to rank as one of the worst decisions possible. Cost me about 30 points I reckon.

what was it? Yeah what was it? Think it was that Ashley had a big 24 hours

I do remember reading something about his contract when he left Mainz, but I am not sure what the deal is there. He sounds like just the kind of manager we should be looking at though.

This time last year when we had some real quality - I would agree. Now, We need someone with some type of PL/British league experience. I am not sure it makes any difference - I mean Pardew has PL experience and it hasn't helped him.
