Mr Logic Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Surely the way fate plays a hand in everything we're nailed on to draw West 'am in one of the cups. Then we'll see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Another prick with similar guff last week. Far from seeing the good that Nolan and Barton have done for Newcastle, Ashley views them as a pair of senior shop stewards who have the audacity to question his methods. Methods like pushing through a cost-cutting business model which dictates that when your best and most senior players ask for a bit too long on their contract sack them and look for cheaper, younger replacements. A model which is about as ludicrous as the image of Joey Barton publically slamming it while wearing a top hat and tails at Ascot. A model that may well see Nolan waving at Newcastle next May as he passes them on his way back up to a league they've just dropped out of.

Hanshithispantz Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 The sad thing is 90% of other fans will actualy agree with this shite, the stat book and MOTD make him look like Frank Lampard. You just need to take a look through this thread to see some opinions of what he was truly like (some slightly harsh, mind). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Crooks Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 See you in Oblivion West Ham. We'll see if the bloated japend feels so chipper next season. He looks like a terminally ill George Best if he'd stuck his head in a wasps nest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 What a clown. Not showing ambition would have been for us to happily kept Nolan as a first teamer and happily settled for mid-table but we're taking a gamble on getting players who could potentially take us up a level.

OzzieMandias Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Trouble is the fat c*nt has to write something to fill up the newspaper and the Nolan story has had a lot of coverage so he's obviously going to go for it. Ignoring the pro West Ham stuff in that article, there are are plenty of people who think what he says about Nolan leaving us is bang on the money (our own fans included). So it's an obvious angle for a journalist to take. It would have been far more original if he'd said Newcastle would have been mad to offer Nolan a 5 year contract on £50k a week or more and contracts like that have caused the club to be stuck with expensive hasbeens (and neverweres) well past the time that were any use to the club. But if he'd written that it would be implying that West Ham have again fallen for the same type of thinking that saddled them with Dyer, McCarthy, Boa Morte, Ljundberg etc. and which led to their previous financial meltdown.

JackM Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I really hate Martin Samuel, he's been writing shit like that about us for years. He clearly has an ant-Newcastle agenda. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theregulars Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Interesting update: I work in the Wimbledon Media centre and ran into Martin Samuel this morning when he came to pick up his order of play. Said I was a toon fan and wanted to pick him up on his article - he was very affable and perfectly willing to discuss. I forwarded to him that Nolan leaving was more due to the ridiculous contract West Ham were prepared to give him, us cashing in when he would be most valuable and that he would no longer be first choice due to Cabaye - he insists Newcastle offered him only £5000 a week left and were willing to go five years. He also insists that there is no way that Cabaye would be picked ahead of Nolan - he called him "untested", "lightweight" and believed he was bought as an understudy for this year to replace Nolan in the future. Maintained that West Ham were a more attractive club to play for due their preferable ownership (really). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
