which is ashleys plan why should pardew let him win by giving him what he wants when he can continue to do his job and if ashley wants him out let him pay him off in full This is it. The situation is so ridiculous now where Pardew wont quit knowing that's what Ashley wants and at the same time Ashley wont sack him.

Struggle to vent all my anger at Kinnear when its this bloke who's fully responsible.

He gets paid to watch football, travel around the world (okay France) on expenses and has absolutely zero responsibility or pressure. I wouldn't be rushing to retire if I had his job This. Free holiday for that man.

He's not here to sign players. He knows it, Pardew knows it, most of the fans should know it. This director of football nonsense was a tag given to him to suggest a professional role in the club when it's clear he's here to get rid of Pardew, a man who wants Ashley to spend money. As much as the whole thing looks stupid on Kinnear, who is a human grenade with the press, the whole scenario goes back to the owner.

suggesting on my twitter that it's done. So infuriating this.

Lukaku going to Everton?

more the latter for me. I'd be genuinely surprised if Kinnear has actually tried to sign anyone with serious intent.

I suspect he knew what he was getting in too. He's not as daft as looks. Job duties: Undermine manager - tick Take flak away from Mike - tick Unsettle key players with daft comments - tick Embarrass NUFC fans massively - tick Take money for a favour for a mate - tick Aye. The abuse he get may be misdirected but i'm sure him and Ashley discussed that. He'll know he's in for some stick but it's mission accomplished in terms of no money being spent to a) shit on Pardew b) divert abuse from our owner.

Stoke have signed Arnautovic. Good signing for them imo.

0 in 0 out in a thoroughly demoralising transfer window I reckon. Pardew will wax lyrical about it as if its been a huge success.

Also tbf to Pardew he's managed Ben Arfa really well since he's been here. There is a work rate in him now which he simply never had in his Lyon / Marseille days.

Just glad we won to install a little confidence. We weren't great at all but a good kicking around off a lower league side will do these players no harm.

Streams gone down for me. Might not be a bad thing.

The obsession with france is ludicrous to be honest and i'm not so sure we have the big appeal over there as some think we do.

Spurs are going crazy with the anticipated Bale money! Never heard of the Romanian player though. Eastern Europe is where we should shop a bit. Resonable prices. Nah lets just go French again. I agree but this would require a competent scouting network. What have we got? Some bloke in france on holiday taking in football matches.

It's a football match man not a dinner theatre What in the sweet f*** is a "dinner theatre" because it sounds fantastic and I want to be in a production at such a theatre ASAP I agree with this. They're old, was a strange example I admit. I think they were rather quiet whilst people sat there eating, so we're halfway there already at SJP.

So could we like send 40 kebab pizzas to Ashley? I deleted that post as I realised the app likely prevents it going on, but if we sent that to Ashley it wouldn't return. Theres still Tom Foolery to be had I'm sure. Without doubt. Nice to see the club hitting the burning issues anyway.

Christ... how much lamer as a club can we get?

Maybe when Cabaye leaves he can actually just focus on his football and concentrate on playing well.

Should be for the Alan Pardew excuses thread this like Cannot say i have seen that many games that he has shown anything like being a International defender .He may be ok going forward but Simpson at times was more solid at the back defending Not really an excuse as i'm not defending his performances. He's been hugely disappointing I wont deny that but he can defend imo. You could say this about a lot of players but if you threw Debuchy in a good side in this league you'd see a huge difference.

Aye you're right, surely cant be as bad as he was v City. A start would be to stop this desire he seems to have to make countless clumsy challenges, how he stayed on the pitch the other night was amazing tbh.

I think if we'd signed Debuchy when we were supposed to he would have been far more settled and playing like everyone knows he can. Got signed when we were a joke unit and despite a few really good displays his form has descended with the rest of the team, and it boiled over on Monday night when he looked really poor.

Not Debuchy's ability thats in question imo it's his desire. He looks totally disinterested. I'm one of his biggest defenders but it's looking like he only came here coz Cabaye is here. Dont think we should sell him as I still think with the right manager he could be quality for us.
