Aye, it's like he's only just realised what's going on at the club. Just trying way too hard to be funny. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 It almost comes across like someone who was telling everyone else to calm down for years while this was happening, then the club died and it must have been a real shock. First and last dig on the subject, enjoy your retirement Ian. Good article. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHoob Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Anyone read this? http://www.themag.co.uk/2015/03/must-read-the-invasion-of-the-football-club-snatchers/ Whilst I agree with the sentiment, it reads like it's been written by a developmentally challenged 4 year old. The Mag has nee standards whatsoever. Absolutely the editorial standards have slipped massively since the mag went digital. Any old crap will make it now, which was not the case when it had a hard copy. Some of the stuff on there now is epidemically bad. http://i.imgur.com/tnPYGr8.gif Good article Ian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sempuki Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 The all important spreadsheet is going to be released any day now. Could be a profit in excess of £50m imo. Hope people go apeshit when the results come out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 35 points leaves us in 11th but that seems an unlikely finishing position for a side once again drifting aimlessly towards the close season - Carver seemingly no more in control of the dressing room than Pardew was at this point in 2014. While our feet were firmly up by now last season with a 43 point haul and an eventual tenth place finish, things aren't quite as clever this time round though. With two major parts of the "spine" now suspended due to their own indiscipline it would be a brave Mag who predicts where our next point, goal or clean sheet is coming from. It appears as if the team have listened to fan concerns that our season was petering out into mid-table obscurity by ensuring that we become embroiled in events towards the trapdoor. Next weekend could prove to be very uncomfortable indeed for Toon followers: a threadbare United XI facing an Arsenal side who are second in the form table, in the habit of winning on Tyneside and now with no European commitments to distract them. Add in the prospect of the mackems going to West Ham in the teatime game with a boost from a new manager, and facing a Hammers side winless in seven and in worse form than us. As a side order, serve up an away win for Palace at Stoke on the same day that would elevate Pardew's current mob above us - assuming we fall to Wenger's lot as expected. Carver's comments about the fans today neatly sum things up: "They understand the situation, they understand where we are and what we are". Yes: managerless, in decline, a former football club.
