Shays Given Tim Flowers

Can see why we're bidding for him.

He was able to get the best out of the Honey Monster.

http://www.nufc.co.uk/articles/20130529/pardew-wants-dominant-defensive-threat_2281670_3194452 Bit more season review context. Do other managers ever spout this kind of bullshit? Was talking to some fans of other clubs past couple of weeks and they were rolling around laughing at some of the s*** I was telling them he says. I think if you analysed other managers' quotes to the extent we do with Pardew, without the audio/video and the context/question, you could generate nearly as many ridiculous quotes. Maybe not the same amount, but not far off. Especially if you only concentrated on managers under pressure or where things were going badly on the pitch.

Luis Garcia was mint at headers and he was a midget.

Why is that a problem? I'd like us to play on the front foot. Cabs can't play AM in a team like that. fair enough. I just think it may be easier for us to be that team under Pardew rather than a front foot team.

I wore some Alan Pardew style Ned Flanders socks yesterday.

He is only a couple of games away from losing the home fans IMO. Can't recall anyone ever surviving that for much time.

'its not the despair Laura, I can handle the despair. It's the hope I can't stand.'

Refreshing to see him with some end product.

Oh right well if Redknapp said it. As far as Carroll goes, everyone was a winner at that moment in time.

Clive Mendonca who scored a hat-trick against Sunderland in the play-off final?

If he had that much passion he wouldn't have left at the first opportunity. We still don't really know the full story of him leaving. If your employer wants you to f*** off you can't really stick around can you? What a load of tosh man. Carroll knew about Liverpool's interest so demanded a pay-rise even though he'd only recently signed a new contract and we rightly told him to p*ss off. True loyalty to us that is. Thing is we wouldn't have told him to p*ss off if hadn't been a crazy £35 million. We were guilty of offering a real promising youngster a p*ss poor contract improvement and then holding him to it when any other youngster in his league at any other club would have been on a hell of a lot more. NUFC knew exactly what they were doing with Carroll. At least Carroll was committed when he was on the pitch and gave everything all the time. Given was guilty of pissing off for £££££'s, Shola and Harper happy to sit around and take healthy money for very little return for many years. Amazing how different fans have different opinions of different situations or in your case have access to the facts. Demanded a pay rise did he. You make it sound like he said give me that amount or I'm off. More likely, it was a case of, I don't want to leave, but it's a chance for me to financially be set for life. I'd love to stay here if we can reach an agreement closer to what other clubs value me at. That is much nearer the truth. You're right, Shay was only here for 12 years like. Not like Carroll who made 80 appearances the vast majority over 2 and a bit seasons. I agree that a lot of people pass off what they believe as fact. Ironic that you speculate about the boards activities and book end your argument with your own speculation as to what Carroll's thought processes were mind.

Why is that a problem?

Hussain Bolt? Also enjoyed him struggling with Bigi's name. 'That sounds like it should rhyme but it doesn't'.

watching games might actually be fun though. We aren't likely to win anything any time soon, like the vast majority of teams in the league. Enjoying watching is all that's left.

At his best he can't handle being pressured on the ball. He's been totally figured out. He shouldn't have the ball long enough to be pressured.

There's a stat for that.

Fuck me no matter what Jonas must stay on the pitch? http://24.media.tumblr.com/e31b7b02d2bd30774c4b309b34df25d2/tumblr_miwc3m21lz1r0d99io1_500.gif

Pourquoi? no reason give but its not anything to do with another club, probably something to do with how much he has to spend Bizzarely I heard this afternoon that somebody at Brighton had taken a shit in the away dressing room before the play-off second leg.

'Godwin's law (also known as Godwin's Rule of Nazi Analogies or Godwin's Law of Nazi Analogies[1][2]) is an assertion made by Mike Godwin in 1990[2] that has become an Internet adage. It states: "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1."[2][3] In other words, Godwin said that, given enough time, in any online discussion—regardless of topic or scope—someone inevitably makes a comparison to Hitler or the Nazis. Although in one of its early forms Godwin's law referred specifically to Usenet newsgroup discussions,[4] the law is now often applied to any threaded online discussion, such as forums, chat rooms and blog comment threads, and has been invoked for the inappropriate use of Nazi analogies in articles or speeches.[5]' 'There are many corollaries to Godwin's law, some considered more canonical (by being adopted by Godwin himself)[3] than others.[1] For example, there is a tradition in many newsgroups and other Internet discussion forums that once such a comparison is made, the thread is finished and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically lost whatever debate was in progress.'

Looking at Rafa's past few clubs I doubt we would be willing to match the wages he is accustomed to. If it was a striker who had gone from Liverpool to Inter to Chelsea we would all be of the opinion his wages would be far too much for us.
