I've noticed someone claiming to be Bill Bradshaw (SSN paper review journo) is logged on there.

 

Loves chipping in with bits about us, in particular:

 

Chaps...I have it on the very best authority that at NUFC's recent end-of-season review, Alan Pardew was given very short shrift by Mike Ashley. He was lambasted for coming so close to relegation and told:

* Forget the FA Cup...no interest at all.

* Forget League Cup...no interest at all.

* You MUST finish in Top Ten....it is all that matters.

* Don't worry about Europa qualification - no interest.

Pardew's job is basically on the line depending on their league placing, nothing else.

If they are restricted to two buys (not sure about that) it could be a close run thing!

I doubt any of that is true from a source - but it's not exactly far off.

 

That said I doubt they are going to be pulling up any trees themselves....

And as sure as night follows day:

The speed at which Benito DiCanio has the red and white hordes massing behind him is frightening. Only 7 games in and they're frothing at the gash at any criticism of il Duce.

 

It's almost as if a charismatic father figure has infiltrated the vulnerable minds of a downtrodden populace and trained their brains to mindlessly follow him en masse, blindly hating those who oppose his dictat. I'm sure there's a word (and a salute) for that...

 

 

Thing is it's really nothing new for them. Keane, Bruce, O'Neill were all worshipped like demigods initially before the rabble inevitably turn on them. It even extends to chairmen, coaches etc, Quinn, Short, Ball. Really strange behaviour and almost uniquely macum in character.

Even the odd one who attains an education and escapes the wretched shackles of Wearyside seems unable to rise above it. "Wheeze Keeyze"  in her role as a journalist for a left leaning newspaper seems unable to resist fawning over successive managerial incumbents, even a self confessed fascist.

I guess spending their existence in the permanent shadow of their "big club" neighbours makes them welcome any kind of attention and interest, however negative.

I've always rated Westwood. I think they'll be fine.

 

I dunno - Mingnolet has kept them in a few games this year - he had a blinder in the derby too.

Mignolet was probably the best keeper in the league last season. It won't be an easy task replacing him.

Aye, Mingolet was the best GK in the league for me.  He was the probably the difference in keeping them up.

Seem to be spending 7.5m Euro on a Serie B striker.

 

Which player?

 

Paulinho from Livorno.

It'll be weird for him going from a proud left wing club which has a huge, often violent rivalry with Lazio to a side ran by Mussolini.

 

After looking up Livorno (didn't know much about them, and any left wing clubs are cool with me), turns out he did the fascist salute playing against them for Lazio.
