Sammy Ameobi: Newcastle United striker opts to play for Nigeria

Winning means nothing if you're not enjoying it. I rarely talk to my friends about NUFC now because there's fuck all to talk about, win, lose or draw.

He was talking about finishing "higher than 5th" in January. Arsenal just nicked 4th by 30 points in the end.

Pardew said up the page that he's been working with him (and other 17/18 year olds) for the entire time he's been manager here so definitely him. Definitely.

Such shit corners.

Jenkinson needs put down. Dreadful player.

Lambert just missed a pen!

He's scored 10 goals (5 in the Championship years ago) in nearly 200 games. I don't think we can blame Pardle entirely for the ineffectiveness of Wearside Jack.

Jordan Ibe starting for Das Pool at half 11. Worth staying up for on it's own.

Today's bench.

As we suspected (and were specifically told) only ever passes the ball backwards and sideways, never more than 5 yards in distance. Complete waste of a shirt, especially in a team so devoid of creativity further forward.

Pens on Quest.

Emirates Cup on BT Sport while you wait.

The Perez bandwagon starts this weekend LIVE on QUEST.

Yep, it might even be quite the opposite, while staying up. Always agreeing with you these days. SCUM.

It's not his job to run the club. His job is to do what Ashley tells him because he isn't there to do it himself. Everything is set up the way he wants it so it'll not change, no matter who's the MD. Hes the MD man, its his job to run the club. What the hell do you think he's supposed to do? So if nothing will change, which I understand it won't - he'll never get any credit or plaudits from me. I'm not in the business of high-fiving someone who isn't doing the things required to make this club respectable again. I'm hard to please, I guess. He runs the club in name only. He has the same decision making power as Llambias and Kinnear had, which is zero. NUFC is a dictatorship and has been since our relegation when Ashley started to lose money. Ashley decides transfer budget, Carr decides on players, Charnley gets the best deal he can for them with the money available, Pardew makes new players look handicapped. It's really as simple as that.

We are signing good players by the sounds of it. I doubt many would collectively swap our new signings for those from most other clubs this summer. Most other clubs hadn't neglected their squad like we had. This is why they find it so easy to sell players in January, because after five months getting battered every week, they can sign in summer instead and everyone queues up to wank them off, like they've done us a favour. Like giving credit to someone doing a big shop after they've let the kids starve for a month. On the "good players" point, aye ok, let's see how good they are after a year with the cunt. If they're anything like Moussa Sissoko, most people will say they're shit. All this is about Ashley and Pardew though. The person we're talking about is the one who goes in and gets the best price he can for our targets based on the finances allocated.

He's been given £30million to spend and looks to have signed plenty of exciting sounding players, so personally he's done well. It's Ashley who has done the bare minimum yet again.

He's "doing a good job" because he's been allowed to buy players. Llambo "did a good job" when he was allowed to buy players too.
