As much as we all know Adrian Durham talks shite,  following on from that blog he's been repeating the same thing on the radio this afternoon. Fair play to him

he often talks shite but at least hes consistent in his shite

They seem to be going after Nolan a bit.  The texting and argument with his missus occurred over three years ago. 

 

"Nolan's fiancee hit the roof after she found the rude texts and photos on his phone."

 

"Hayley, who wed Nolan in 2008, was at her parents' home during the party."

 

The sun is so bad

Durham's been putting a fair few toon players in his team of the week recently. Tiote, Coloccini, Barton, Carroll and Krul have all appeared in the last couple of weeks.

I'm in shock someone in the media actually calling the notw thing a load of shite

http://www.talksport.co.uk/radio/drivetime/blog/2010-11-08/durhams-rant-not-really-news-world?

 

That is surprising and a very well made point by talksport.

[pedro111]

Durham was at the Tyne/W*** derby last week as well.

The latest media spin is that there is a dressing room revolt.

This of course is exactly what the press want us to react to.

Reality: the players will be introduced to the new manager who will make his standard Churchillian type speech then the established players will be vying to catch his eye in training in order to keep their places or to get a breakthrough start in the case of fringe players.

The media ratbags will be in their element not just to exagerate but to fabricate lies which will keep the negativity going and ensure failure.

We are supposed to play our part by revolting along with all their bile.

Most importantly, when it does all go wrong on the pitch, the media will shift emphasis with their shit stirring to blame us the fans as being impatient and expecting too much of the team.

Do not trust them or anything that is reported, they have no interest in a smooth transition here.

I really don't know quite what to make of this crass and frankly offensive piece from the markedly southern Independent:

 

http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/news-and-comment/james-lawton-sacking-hughton-was-crass-but-it-was-sadly-typical-of-newcastle-2155749.html

 

At the end of another scabrous week in the history of Newcastle United, you have to ask the old question. Why do they do it? The fans, that is.

 

You have to believe it is because they have had their values shot away, piece by piece, and all that is left to them is to go along out of some desperate tribal loyalty.

 

They remind you a bit of the cargo cults of the South Pacific because of the absolute irrationality of their belief that under the Mike Ashley regime one day their boat might come in.

 

The cargo worshippers were excited by the sight of vast amounts of military equipment being moved around by America and Japan in the Second World War and the belief that if enough magic was made, enough rituals completed, somehow all the power and the wealth would be transferred to the islanders.

 

This seems pretty much the hope of most Newcastle fans, at least the astonishingly large number of them who remain unsick to their stomachs by the manner of Chris Hughton's dismissal.

 

Every football club, and even one as perniciously dysfunctional as Newcastle, has the right to change their manager, but the way it has been so arbitrarily abused by Ashley and his predecessors is surely an embarrassment even in a League where most anything goes.

 

The fact that many believe Hughton's crude dismissal may also have facilitated a betting coup in circles close to the ownership is a mere detail, an appalling one no doubt, but then it is a long time since anyone had the nerve or the instinct to believe anything but the worst of a club that can, like some pet monster, still command affection, even passion, among so many of its supporters.

 

This means that a succession of managers, some of them the biggest names in football, have known their fate from the moment they signed to the cause. Or at least they should have done.

 

The reaction to the reports that Alan Pardew was the new man was as instructive as the manner of the firing of Hughton. Outrage over the latter's fate was now only fuelled by the fact that his replacement might be from outside the elite of management, a man who indeed was recently fired by Southampton.

 

Such are the splintered moralities of the Newcastle football culture.

 

Fire Hughton, a man patently dedicated and devoted to his players, even the most troublesome of them, one who had produced such memorable results as the slaughter of Sunderland and the defeat of Arsenal at the Emirates, who had won promotion and had to be given a reasonable chance of checking a mini-slide, and you are committing an outrage. Replace him with some fancy name, like Martin O'Neill, however, and the reaction is somewhat different, perhaps even "March on, bonnie lads".

 

Hughton's achievements at Newcastle should have protected him from the worst of his treatment by the club for whom he did so much, so quickly. That they did not was just another random blow aimed at the image of football in one its most passionate centres.

 

In terms of reputation, Newcastle, of course, have nothing to defend. They just sit on their bleak shore, watching the flotsam float by. It is their version of black and white magic, ineffective and shameless to the same degree.

 

A majority of fans will say it is their club – right or wrong, their identity, their hope, and that it is nobody's business but their own. In this, they are right, as far as it goes down the road of football doom. But then it hardly stops you being sickened by their plight.

Apart from some strange bits it is pretty accurate. We do as a whole bend over and accept whatever gets rammed up our hoops tbh

[simonlemagnifique]

I dunno, it's just the cargo cult/bleak shore that got my goat. Feels like we're being assaulted from all sides at the moment

Well the obvious superiority complex/arrogance from the writer of the piece aside there is a pretty fair point in it.

[simonlemagnifique]

I think that's probably it; the kernel of truth, delivered by a cunt

[Benwell Lad]

In a week when hypocricy has been in plentiful supply, perhaps the worst example was watching former hero Malcolm MacDonald , shedding crocodile tears over Hughton's dismissal.

That is the same Supermac who said his Arsenal team selection was like a "resignation letter" and did everything he could to fan the anti-Hughton flames.

Cockney wanker.

Supermac just says that everyone is shit, out of their depth, etc. Eventually when they run into some poor form he can claim to have been right all along about them.

[wormy]

Seems like he's like a lot of 'pundits' these days. Says shit to cause a storm. No surprise there.

Just sat through Stan Collymore backing the fans over this whole farce and talking a lot of sense on talkshite, what is the world coming to?

We hear Newcastle fans intend to chant Chris Hughton's name throughout today's game against Liverpool to show the world how outraged and disgusted they are over his sacking.

There is no argument from me that Hughton is a decent man who has been treated badly by boardroom buffoons, or the assertion that he was doing a pretty good job in difficult circumstances.

All behind the boss: Pardew shares a joke with his Newcastle players

But the supporters aren't stamping their feet and yelling because they especially care about Hughton's exit, or even regarded him as a long-term managerial solution.

They are fuming because someone with a more impressive record than Alan Pardew hasn't been installed in his place.

DES KELLY ON TWITTER

Follow the Sportsmail columnist HERE Don't try to tell me the black and white shirts would be quite so united in their discontent had Hughton's nameplate been taken off the office door and replaced by Martin O'Neill, or Martin Jol, or another of the glamorous names being bandied about.

Football is a horribly fickle business. Everyone has short memories. I can't remember many crying over Hughton's plight when Alan Shearer was installed above him for a short but undistinguished stint in charge.

In fact it isn't that long since Geordie fans were complaining Hughton had been promoted beyond his capabilities when he stepped back in again as caretaker manager.

Enemy No 1: Newcastle fans are not happy with owner Mike Ashley

After his position was made 'permanent' (don't laugh) the gripe was he had only been handed the job opportunity because he was the cheapest option and ready to bow to the demands of Mike Ashley and his boardroom cronies. Sound familiar?

Unlike the usual Palm Sunday welcome messiahs receive at St James' Park - I say Palm Sunday welcome because a crucifixion usually follows - when Pardew arrived for his first day, hardly anyone bothered to turn up.

A couple of teenagers hung around at the front door, but it was difficult to establish whether they were there to see the new boss or merely casing the joint after a window was smashed at the ground later that evening.

There were no wild cheers of mob celebration on the steps outside, no army of apostles gathered. As introductions go, it was about as miserable and anticlimactic as it was possible to imagine.

Al ready, Pardew is being variously described as mundane, irrelevant, a sideshow and a puppet. Commentators are genuinely saying they 'feel sorry for him', as if he has been dragged to the job against his will.

There were even people happy to endorse Pardew's public relations line that he 'must be mad' to take charge at Newcastle.

Mad? What is mad about an out-of-work boss, one who had been filling his empty hours with BBC 5 Live co-commentary duties here and there, seizing this chance? It is the job of Pardew's life. This will make or break him.

The issue is Mike Ashley, not Pardew. Ashley acts like such an ignoramus, mistiming public statements, misjudging moods, bungling appointments and sackings at every turn, it's a mystery to me how the guy ever made money in the first place.

Pardew will suffer by association with this lummox for a while, but half a dozen wins will instantly change that. The place is such a bizarre goldfish bowl, momentum can come and go in a matter of two or three weeks. Ask every manager who has been in and out the door.

Some huge names have gone to Newcastle and failed to win the crowd over, despite their reputation. Graeme Souness, Sam Allardyce and Ruud Gullit all found the job nigh - on impossible.

In Gullit's case, he was effectively sacked because he dropped the star striker Shearer. It's impossible to think of another club where that fan power could hold sway like this, except Liverpool, perhaps.

Tunnel vision: New Newcastle manager Pardew is not lacking in confidence

Those who know Pardew well say he is not exactly lacking in self confidence, far from it. Jokers will tell you he has a character streak that makes Phil Brown look self-effacing.

He will need all of that assurance if he is caught between the incompetence of Ashley and the demands of the public.

But he is bright, intelligent, he knows his football and expectations are so low around St James' Park right now, it is almost impossible to believe Pardew cannot defy them.

Lots of very sad faces in the press box as AC smashed in the third - just didn't get the story they were hoping for  today.
