They've spelt Pizzeria wrong

Maybe if those who think he's great (based on very little evidence) could point out to us "sheep" instances where he has been consistently brilliant game after game (for any club) maybe, just maybe, we'd understand the love he gets. His brilliance is a myth, his talent is there for all to see, but his use/application of that talent is beyond a disgrace and as such he's worthless. Surely Real, Barca and Bayern are pestering his agent to death right now because reading some of the tripe in this thread they mustn't know what they're doing otherwise. It's been done to death on here in every way. Examples of him playing well and being dropped, stats showing he's a 1 in 3.5 goal scorer and 1 in 4 assister, stats in comparison to our other players, examples of players he's been dropped in favour of etc etc etc and yet still people like you either/or A. Ignore it. B. Dismiss it or C. Come out with the sort of utter nonsense that's in your final paragraph there. In fact all of it is generalised, unsubstantiated, fabricated, weapons grade horseshit tbh. My last paragraph is weapons grade horseshit is it So Real, Bayern and Barca are clamouring for his services then. He's a lazy waste of talent. Sorry, maybe I should have made it even easier for you to understand. It's horseshit because 1. Absolutely no one is saying that those teams are or should be clamouring for his services 2. It's irrelevant when he was behind players like Dan Gosling, Shola Ameobi, Ryan Taylor and Gabriel Obertan in the pecking order. Clamoured for by Bournemouth, a second division Turkish side, no one and no one. Is that a bit easier for you to understand now? So you agree that HBA is a ridiculous waste of talent then.

Good riddance to bad rubbish I believe is the phrase. Bags of natural ability, no application, unmanageable, unwilling, no ambition, waste of oxygen. And a bit of a major twat by all accounts.

Yeah let's offer a kid, who is nothing but regularly unfit potential right now, £20K a week. He's probably on maybe a grand a week or so, he's got 18 months (plus a years option) to run, a) I don't blame him for knocking it back, b) I don't blame the club for the offer, which is likely a substantial rise for him, surprised they even made any offer given his remaining deal length anyway. Non story

You don't put pressure on your only choice goalkeeper like, it's asking for trouble for a player with that little experience, in his circumstances, in that position and at his age. It's plain dumb. FFS, what can conceivably be more pressured than making your first full start, away from home, in one of the biggest stadiums, irrespective of what anyone says to you, or about you. Why's it irrespective? Your argument it's that is such a high pressure situation that your manager saying that he's not sure if you're any good can't possibly have even further impact. Get away man! After the player has been bleating to the manager that he is good enough, all Pardew has said is words to the effect, go on prove it. It's a simple gee up, and Pardew has actually used the best lever there is for a footballer, i.e. money - he's in the shop window, that's no surprise, his contract is up, go and prove you're worth some dosh. Don't be so precious. What are you on about man? Has this all taken place in your head? Literally none of that has happened in real life. Apart from all of it, which has actually happened with the Alnwick in question.

I dunno, Pardew sussed HBA eventually so his judgement isn't all bad.

I wonder how many of those whining about what was said have ever managed anyone in a working environment. It was widely reported that Alnwick had knocked on the managers door to complain he wasn't playing and should be sent somewhere where he could get games, i.e. "I'm too good not to play". Well now he is going to play on the big stage, all Pardew has said, in pretty clear terms, is "go on then son, prove it". He's playing for his next contract either here or elsewhere, that in itself should be the perfect motivation, any platitudes like "oooh your great son" wouldn't have rung true in any way.

Allllllnwick??, bloody southerners!!! Just as well he's not called Cambois, they'd be really screwed.

Pardew didn't call him shit, there's plenty to complain about with Pardew but this is just an "any stick" situation.

Nowt wrong with it, lad knows he's in the last months of his contract and needs to prove himself.

On the Newcastle Supporters FB page there were a few Belgians who post there and said he`s not worth the money and not worth going for....can`t say I have seen anything of Mitrovic anyway. Seems to be linked on more than a few occasions so might be some truth in the rumour. I'm Belgian and I can tell you that he would be worthless in the Premier League. He doesn't live for his sport and he's arrogant towards his fellow players. And at the moment, he's simply not good enough for Newcastle. Anderlecht asks about 10 million pounds for him but he's absolutely not worth such a high asking price." Currently in the news because he was overweight, talented boy but a bit crazy in his head. Imo not a player with a decent mentality. A HBA clone by the sounds of it.

Non story for now, the new Rangers can't qualify this year (even if they won the Scottish Cup) due to FFP rules, they don't have enough accounts filed to satisfy the rules. Earliest they would be able to qualify is from next season, even then they might not even get promoted, which would be rather splendid.

They are currently losing over £800K a month, he'd have to "invest" a decent wedge to get them anywhere near even the Accies from where they are today. He won't do personal investment, as we well know, he already owns everything to do with Rangers that makes any money and now has security over two or their 3 realisable assets and owns the naming rights of the other (£1brox). He just needs them to exist for him to keep the £££'s rolling in.

does seem a bit of a no brainer for someone to pick them up while they're in such a shambles like They're haemorrhaging money way in excess of what they bring in, lots of that drain is in locked in "onerous" contracts (as their CEO described them), contracts put in place by the dodgy operators that set up new Rangers, that needs to be sorted before they are viable for Ashley, he won't stand for anyone milking him like the spivs have milked new Rangers since the 3rd division.

Of course they are Scottish football needs Rangers and if that means breaking a few rules and having fat Mike so be it. Does it Bollocks. Scottish football needs rid of both cheeks of the sectarian arse, it may be poorer financially for it, but it would be so much better in itself? the SFA will break the rules because they are just about to a man rangers men, t***s !! Take Rangers and celtic out of Scottish football and it becomes the equivalent of the Welsh league. And that is bad for supporters of the other clubs, why exactly (it'd still be a higher standard and better attended than Welsh league an all).

I said to slim, Ashley would sell the sack pardew stuff, he's ruthless Ashley is probably behind sackpardew.com! Stroke of genius, to the far eastern/Chinese audience the latest coloured banners will look like everyone waving one loves sports direct on the TV pictures (can you tell Chinese letters/words one from another)

Tim Krul gamesmanship wanker

Great idea, clubs like City and Chelsea can have 2 full teams in operation, plus another couple of teams worth out on loan, what's not to like !!!!!!!
