Jesse Pinkman

To be fair you can only judge him on this window in terms of his recruitment, there's no no dening that he has done well. He's got some promising players on the cheap and done it all relatively early in the window. I'm all for hating the regime, but the guy has done well in his current post so far. He just needs to convince Ashley to get rid of Pardew and maybe sell up!

Pardews a massive cunt. I dedicate this post to Bimpy

This situation sums Pardew up perfectly.

The frustrating thing is if he spent an extra million a year on a decent manager there's a good chance we could actually get into Europe and not nearly relegate ourselves the following season! More money for Ashley, more joy for fans but no we are stuck with Pardew for another 3/4 years... Imagine if he gets a contract extension

www.thejournal.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/alan-pardew-puts-danny-ings-7457841 Apparently Pardew wants Ings.

Unreal from SMB to be fair, honestly nearly lost for words, will mean so much for their families!

Best website to get cheap football tops? There all like £50 on kitbag.

Might be a fitting tribute it everyone wore a suit to the first home game or so something like that.

Just seen he's only got a year left on his contract..... and it all becomes clear! They obviously want to force a sale this summer to try and get as much money as possible, wouldn't surprise me if Ben Arfa has clicked on and decided to give Pardew and Ashley a big fuck you and play on until he can leave for free. This has obviously pissed of Pardew and Ashley so they are going to make his life as uncomfortable as possible over the next 12 months!

:lol: who predicted that one? The sickening thing is he doesn't even know for sure. Oldham are probably a couple of weeks ahead of us he says ... probably. Man, I was genuinely getting excited by the new additions, talk about an instant downer. Absolutely sick of the guy. Nothing will change this season no matter who he brings in. He will win 30% of the games, draw 20% and lose 50%... he's done it his whole career and he's not going to change now.

Either retire or go to Qatar IMO. Don't think MLS or A league could handle his wages.

Even though they are in the Championship I'd say Fulham arguably have more potential and ambition than Sunderland. Fulham is London as well, which is a big draw for foreign players.

Judging by past experience he's going to stagnate!

So we will be going 2 up top next season?

Looking at getting some new boots, is there much difference between £50 boots and £120 range? In this case I'm tempted by the new predators.

How much is the reported fee?

Seems like a Pardew signing for me.

Think what he means is you're English its more likely to want to go to Man Utd where as most foreign players would prefer to go to the Spain big 2. Maybe if you're German you'd prefer Bayern as you said. Yeah sorry was talking about players.

This just reinforces my view that unless your English, Barcelona and Madrid are seen as THE top 2 teams in the world.

Not a chance he'll be a key player next year! If Arsenal get a few defenders and a imposing midfielder I think they have a huge chance next year!

Hayden Mullins like seriously how is this guy getting paid thousands a week to make any sort of football decision! He should be working in the local building society or something!

What are peoples thoughts on David Luiz then? He has always had his critics defensivesly and his defensive faults were certainly on show to the world last night... Can't see ever stepping up to be a top class CB to be honest and I don't think he even wants to play there.. DM maybe another matter however.

Most embarrassing semi since my mum gave me a shoulder massage.

@JoshSW94: @nufcfans anyone think Lee Charnley has been our best signing? He's actually getting the business done like we needed. Replace and improve!
