Shola's replacement.

:lol: these never fail to crack me up

All success does (I imagine) is increase your expectations. Most of the baggage it brings is quite frankly embarrassing and certainly not something you would ever want to trade your club's identity for. I doubt a Man City fan truly feels any more enjoyment than a Rotherham fan, or a Forrest fan, or whoever. what. They haven't traded their identity though. They are still man city. You reckon when that Aguero goal went in that wasn't the single greatest moment of them supporting their team? Well what's the point we may as well turn it in if success brings "embarrassing baggage". I think you've completely missed what I'm saying here like, which is a canny effort considering the post was 3 lines long I'm not saying Man City have traded their identity, I'm saying that I wouldn't want us to trade our identity for what they have, as ultimately enjoyment of the sport is all relative. And are you trying to say success doesn't bring "embarrassing baggage"? Glory hunters, the "global brand", the fucking Poznan etc. I'm not saying this ought-weighs the enjoyment of winning trophies, just that it's another thing to consider. I'd pretty much take anything other than the shit we're being served up at the moment mind, it's just boring on every level. On that note, witnessing Newcastle win the league would be the greatest moment in my life, but if I didn't die from alcohol poisoning, I could probably live with going a while until the next trophy just to avoid glory hunters and the apathy towards winning trophies (Oh, nice, another trophy as expected. Yay.) my Man Utd supporting mates have. Is that a weird thought? It's weird to think that, after a couple of years supporting a very successful Newcastle, a lot of us could become complete and utter bellends

I'd love us to be successful an all, I haven't said I wouldn't! I'd fucking kill for it, it's what you have to aspire to as a football fan otherwise what's the point? I'm just saying once you're there your perceptions will change. Maybe it's a useless point to make, just trying to get across how pointless I think trading your identity would be.

Does he have the most different kinds of mustard or is it purely the volume of mustard that he owns?

Aye, it was 4-3 and then he brought Ameobi on the fucking freak.

Got to see the legend Lamine Diatta make his debut as well. So much to thank Keegan for. forgot about him. Love his badly written wiki; "Diatta moved to France when he was only one year old. He was the holding force in the centre of Senegal's defence"

Read Ginola say that Keegan was poor tactically, and that once we knew we could be beaten we lost the title as he couldn't pick up points any other way. Something along those lines anyway; it didn't come across as harsh or anything.

I reckon Martinez will achieve a lot more in a far shorter period of time tbh.

Martinez won a trophy. Moyes hasn't. Martinez doesn't bottle the big games away from home, Moyes does. height=200http://english.cri.cn/mmsource/images/2013/10/09/7e70eae9bf09486e97e114786452f8a5.jpg[/img]

Last year he drew with Liverpool twice, Arsenal twice, beat Man City at Home and drew away and beat Man Utd at Home but lost away, he hardly "bottles" them like.

Nobody is saying it's his only issue, you are saying that. They've said that he's hit a ceiling here and will be better off going somewhere else. I find it canny difficult to disagree tbh.

How many players have genuinely improved under Pardew? I think there's more than enough evidence to suggest that our coaching set up is probably canny wank like, we're so horrible on the pitch as a collective it's probably hard to tell though tbf.

Why are people laughing at the notion of our coaching being the problem here?

Martinez, he's only really had 1 season at a good side so he obviously still has a lot to prove but he doesn't look like he'll falter, just look at the goal difference between him now and when Pardew finished 5th, no reason at all that side isn't sustainable.

Never really took much notice of him tbh, always just assumed he was canny cack because of his funky dial.

It's not exactly the same but there's not much difference. If Chelsea win the game at Stamford Bridge by 1 goal they're through, as opposed to it going to ET (1-0) or them going out (2-1 / 3-2 / 4-3 etc) There's quite a substantial difference tbh

So what the fuck were you talking about then Pata?

0-0 is underrated result for the home team, basically the same as winning 1-0. Draw the away game and you're through or in the extra time. Not exactly like

Bruce over Pardew is a no brainer, but like Pardew he's probably a manager with a glass ceiling, same with Moyes really, they aren't completely fucking inept though.

He's not making excuses about tiredness though. That is insane
