Because I can believe he did that. The rest is up for debate in my eyes. Can imagine him defending pardew, pissing off the guy who wrote the article, and that colouring how he reported the rest of it. You should have told me upfront what you imagined to be true and not true then, would have saved us some time as I'd have not bothered Wey soz didn't realise you were busy

'We should be aiming for top 8' compared to 'midtable and trying for 8th is out level' are 2 very different things for example. Specifics and subtleties get lost in these kind of stories sometimes.

I don't think he was lying, but anyone is going to be influenced by how well they get on with someone in a short meeting to how they retell the story later.

Man taken from league one to premier league by manager, is grateful, subsequently refuses to slag off manager to stranger in a nightclub. Hardly crime of the century. People need to get a grip like. That wasn't all he said though, was it. Basically said Newcastle were where they belonged in the bottom half and fans had ideas above their station. Essentially that's backing the way we've been run by Ashley. Were you there then? Really? If you ignored the fact it's Newcastle and pardew, would you believe that's actually how that encounter went verbatim?

Agreed.

My papa is originally from and supports Barnsley so a bit of a second team for me. Will be an interesting away day if only for the potential family row after.

I'm in if still open.

He's a perfectly adequate number 2 for a premier league team or a decent first choice for championship. League one standard is a bit daft.

Far more is a ridiculous thing to say considering Payet has just performed better in a full Premier League Season than Ben Arfa ever did. Trolling away this Friday, I see. Well, it is a fact mind.

Delighted.

Could've at least lost with dignity but no, he just had to do that Really, reaaaaly doesn't help himself.

You can change a young persons mentality like, it's not easy, especially when whatever he does he's set for life, but if Rafa can get into his head and convince him there's so much more he could achieve then maybe he'll get his head down. If an offer above 5m with his 80k wages comes in though it would be hard not to just look at other options.

Torres seems to have a knack of scoring in big games and international tournaments too, surprised he hasn't been taken even as a last choice. He's used to these tournaments and wouldn't lose his composure or fluster.

I'm 25 so was just starting playing 5 year old football when he was around, always wanted to play like him. Still think there's a chance I'll be a late undiscovered talent. One of those ones where it's not just an 'ah that's a shame, hope he's ok', but a genuine bit of sadness and concern.

The equation is ratio based imo.

Best league in the world. (No sarcasm).

Palace win the cup, Rafa leaves Saturday night. Samaritans baffled by flood of NO member calls.

The Soul Sessions was decent though

I'd be surprised if it's something many people believe anymore like, in terms of quality of teams anyway. Entertainment is subjective though so if that's what people mean when they say it then that's up to them.

He'll stay bar getting an outrageous offer imo, anyone know what wage he's on roughly?

Pretty sure we will have, and they report to him.

He'll win the league next year.
