Dave Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Is it just me or are the blogs that Ryder writes for ESPN far superior to his Chronicle articles? I meant they're not amazing or anything but there's a noticeable improvement from the primary school pish that goes in the paper. Weird. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smal Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/30859855 Pearce may not be all that, but Mills is (and has always been) an untalented odious dickhead, on and off the field. I quite like Pearce but you would've appreciated someone talking out about Pardew like that a couple of months ago though. It's tedious as fuck listening to pundits going on about how every single (British) manager is doing such a wonderful job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I've got no problem with honest punditry, I just think Mills is a prick - and in no position to criticise anyone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 sportingintelligence @sportingintel 18m18 minutes ago Reports that David Ginola about to announce candidacy to challenge Sepp Blatter as FIFA president. Because he's worth it? Or PR stunt? Ginola when he played for us was the most un-arsed footballer I've ever seen. Signed by Doug, on his yacht in the south of France. Not a word to the manager until he rocked up for training. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comes across as a massive cheap shot tbh. He probably once got given his halftime Lucozade last or something when Pearce was managing him and his ego couldn't let it go.

Interpolic Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Agree tbh, seems a bit harsh on Pearce as it doesn't happen very often but it should in fact happen more often. Fans suffer yet Jonny Englishman's always doing a great job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest antz1uk Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Danny Mills is a complete arsehole though, one of the biggest arse lickers and boring sods in football. used to love Pearce but i do think he's turned into some weak as a kitten manager, for a player that had such balls, he doesn't seem to have any whatsoever now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Casual reminder Mills loves Pardew. One of the best he's ever played under http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/newcastle_united/9272123.stm Remember him calling for Pochettino's head due to a slump in form in one breath, and then being baffled as to why we were playing so badly in the match he was covering in the next.

Pilko Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Nice to see some honest punditry for a change. That doesn't mean that Mills is anything other than a boring, talentless slaphead, with a peak of television appearances so far arriving by sitting opposite that dickhead Clem and watching Northern League sides do keepy-ups with a rugby ball on Late Kick Off.

Wullie Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Mills is saying that because he's obviously worked under Pearce and had problems with him - "he struggles with big players who question his authority." It's a bit different to a "pundit" offering an objective opinion based purely what they've seen on the field. Same old boys network, just going the opposite way. The whole thing stinks.

Hughesy Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Just had a taxi ride in London and the driver was, bizarrely, a Colombian referee who referees in I think the Championship and League 1 now. He spent last night playing pool in Elephant and Castle with Asprilla, Rodellega and Valencia. Apparently Asprilla has brought 4 Colombian players over for trials for us.
