Pickford

Absolutely cretinous decision by Ashley - and he could've kept Rondon too for next to nothing. If he was smart it would have seen it was a win win situation. For a minimal investment in PL terms Rafa would've improved us year on year. Rafa had a project and in his final season you could see the fruits of that. We´d shifted up a level and the front 3 of Almiron, Perez and Rondon were looking dangerous. However, Rafa´s humble vision was too radical for Ashley. And it was for us to move into around 6th to 10th, stepping forward slowly, building up. It's not like he was demanding mountains of money to challenge the Man City's etc. Just a baffling, idiotic decision that defies logic. Why wouldn't want your team to do well, we were costing Ashley nothing from his own money, utterly baffling. Having ambition is expensive. Having ambition creates expectation which in turn creates pressure to spend to move forward and move up the league consistently. Unfortunately employing a pigshit manager is also expensive. He needs more money to spend on players to compensate for the lack of managerial ability. This was the choice Ashely had 18 months ago. He went option 2 and this is where we are. Dogshit manager with no ability at all but a few quality players. Ashley's no better or worse off financially. Rafa would have stayed if he'd been given cash and backing. He didn't fancy that so he fucked him off and employed a gormless tramp to oversee his entire operation. Doubt he gives too much of a fuck either way. And if he doesn't give a fuck then why should I? Because we're better than him? But aye, it's hard to even relate to any of it anymore. I'm now looking forward to a Green Bay Packers game far far more that a Newcastle one. We're just something to take notice of, rather than following with a passion that burned inside. I still watch but I just don't give a fuck any more. We were one up vs West Brom after 20 mins and I just switched it off, wasn't even remotely interested. It's getting to the stage where the score/result doesn't even matter. It's not enjoyable on any level regardless of whether we win, lose or draw, it's fucking honking and I'd rather do something else. It's not a childish tantrum and stomping off because we're losing - I'm just not invested any longer, I couldn't give too much of a fuck what happens. Aye, Wednesday's game i missed the first ten minutes as i was still at work. I could have sped up but i had no interest in doing so. When and if Ashley does sell, I'll hate him until he or i dies, whichever is first, for making feel like that. He'll get zero thanks for selling, for fighting the Premier League as he's doing now. He deserves nothing but our hate and contempt.

Ridiculous thing is, if we had said to Rafa here's £100m to spend over two seasons, no restrictions on age etc. Build the club, he'd still be here. Ashley chose to get rid because Rafa wanted the club to be the best it could be....you cannot work out why Ashley is how he is, when that's the gobshites thinking. You don't give £100m to a moron like Bruce, if you aren't a bigger fucking moron yourself. Decisions that would baffle any normal person.

Keep going lads, not sure anyone has got the point yet

Wasn't it titled 'Manure' or something

One caveat, not that we press but having the ball constantly moved around you, and never having much possession yourself, can lead to that.

Brilliant that.

Slightly ? I'd say infinitely more.

Yeah, as long as the player coming in keeps the formation legal.

Our tactics are always the same, stay in the game is the be and end all. Snatch a goal and we're quids in, it's boring but while it keeps working Bruce will get undeserved praise. One and half seasons of it working is killing any fun, but hey at least we stay up.

ASM is 150/1 on Sky Bet for two left footed shots on target, worth 50p if he's playing that.

A pilot ?

It's funny but at the same time I wonder if he is quite the full shilling when I read some of his posts. I'd hate to think I was taking advantage of someone who maybe has some sort of mental disability however slight it might be. Wouldn't sit well with me at all. Has anyone actually met him in person? Is he ok, if you know what I mean? Alright there Sigmund

Aye, i just meant jokes about it in general now.

And your rationale behind this bold assertion is? He’s on the wind up Wish he wouldn't, lost all sense of humour with that shite now.

Aye, unless you're Steven Gerrard and you the penalty.

Because he's signed with that agent the story is just made up bullshit as the agent is known for brokering moves. Just utter tittle tattle nonsense, not that the kid shouldn't run a mile from us anyways, you could hardly blame him if he did.

Oh bollocks, didn't read that properly and voted Caulkin thinking it was who's best. Can i get my vote back...worst is Edwards all the way.

If we wants info from him we need to ban IMTTS. He will come back with new user name he should be banned whenever members found him out. As annoying as Penn/IMTTS is, you can't just ban him for being contrary to whatever the consensus is, that's ridiculous. If he got around a ban using a new log in, than aye kick him out. If he's constantly being a dick against the rules, then aye kick him out. In regard to Mimms, Mimms should just carry on, if what he hears is legit then he can rightly say 'i told you so'. But you can't ban someone for not believing him, that's just daft. Exactly, Penn/IMTTS/Sean get called all sorts of things for going against the grain, one of them even gets a ban for it. But the people calling them cunts don’t. This place is a year 8 playground. Name calling doesn't bother me in the slightest, but i can understand why it would upset others, I'm far too old to care any more about daft stuff like that. I read Penn/IMTTS posts and just chuckle at their obvious baiting and ignore them, a reply is exactly what he wants.

Probably because they're not first teamers, but he can give the we have 4 or 5 player missing excuses if we're shite.

If Pardew was still manager, at least it would have been confined to just the WAGS as he daisy chained them.

Gosling and Obertan picked ahead him :lol: :lol:
