It's hardly been edge of the seat stuff to be honest, but we are where we are due to steady organisation and plenty luck. Pardew has been 9/10 this season, and I still think that, it's not his fault Gosling was shite, as well as Obertan, anyone can talk about mistakes in hindsight, but the fact remains I think the man is a cunt. I will always will he's a total mug, from seeing a 50 year old toon fan in a petrol station with toon top, shorts and sock on, to saying Carroll would never be sold. Consistent lies. He is a yes man who has a degree of capability in running a squad, nothing more, nothing less. Spot on ...hes a slightly more acceptable Joe Kinnear

Pardews an Ashley Yes Man ..he deserves all the criticism hes going to get ...just bsed on that one fact .

The problem is that FMA only' business plan ' is to sweat money out of the club ... selling Carroll for £ 35 m and probably Tiote in Jan ..is his way of screwing as much cash out of the club ...until he eventually sells up in a few years time when the market has turned in his favour . By that time he will have already as good as made his money back ..anything else will be profit .

The only blank we have to fill in is how much money FMA gets for Tiote

In an era of overpaid and up their own arse ' superstars ' Gary Speed was a reminder of earlier times ... of a more down to earth , humble and genuine sportsman / footballer ..more akin to the Jackie Milburns of this world than the brattish Wayne Rooneys etc . Never the most gifted , but certainly one of the most hard working , responsible and endearing characters of the modern game . Even after a few days distance , the events of Sunday beggar belief and i guess it is of little comfort to finally know how widely he was loved by not just us , but fans of all clubs , not just the ones he played for and served so well . RIP Gary Speed , we may never know why ...but i thank you for those footballing moments where you lit up my life on a Saturday afternoon ...

Ashley will remain ..until hes squeezed every last penny he can out of this club ....

He has taken us to the next level ...Championship level ...

Anyone know where i can get Kronenbourg Blanc ? Love it but cant seem to find it anywhere these days

Moncur needs to fuckoff too ..Kevs entitled to speak up ...

Well done Obafemi ...

Yeah ..you never did ..you stupid little cunt .

Never mind a fuckin stupid garden ..if he wants to be remembered ...then buy the fucking club back off the FCB Ashley !

just like the good old days. Still, its all "business". The good old days didn't have Bosman, it's called common sense same rules for everybody. Run the club like Netto, and your best players want to go because they see it for what it is. Just like your good old days. There's a fact of life that you need to get your head around. When and if certain clubs come calling you just are not going to be able to hold onto your players. The summer will be the test, if he gets sold to someone like Villa or Everton THEN you can rightly whinge. I think selling our top goalscorer to Liverpool for a record fee is a basis to "rightly whinge. Obviously you don't - but tell me when this last happened rather than the other way round when we ourselves bought the best players from other premiership clubs, something which the vast majority of people came to expect and something which someone your age should understand better - assuming you really did support the club in the 70's and 80's as you claim. First bold bit -then if you think £35m for Carrol should not be taken then you are a fool, not to mention the fact that Liverpool are still seen as a "monster" club, wrongly IMO but that's life. Not having a plan B was whinge-able but the sell decision, at that price, was a no brainer. When did that happen, when we bought the top 4-6th placed (you know the teams I mean) best players ??? you're a fool if you think you should sell your best players. You're also a fool if you think that Liverpool should be buying our best players. Liverpool were the most successful club for a lot of years, but selling them [no to mention the likes of Spurs and Villa] our best players for career and monetary reasons ? The last owners bridged that particular gap, and you're an even bigger fool if you can't accept that. You're also a fool - again - if you think we will see anywhere near that money invested in quality footballers as happened with the sale of Andy Cole as the managers decision I see you are completely avoiding the topic - every time - of supporting the club prior to 1992 ? They attracted you didn't they, now you criticise for not winning the title ? What "sheer" hypocrisy.....which answers your last point perfectly. Don't be stupid, you can't compare the club then (70/80's) to now, or the way players are handled, bosman changed everything. Oh and stick your attracted by 92 crap, I watched Alan Foggon and Micky Burns and Graham Oates and Glen Keeley and George Riley etc etc etc The only period when I didn't consistently go was when Keegan was a player here strangely enough, due to other priorities. I don't think you should sell your best players BUT I accept it as a fact of life in the modern game when those considered the established "big-boys" come knocking and turn a players head, or someone offers you a stupid amount of money, you're screwed. Everyone has their price and there is a pecking order and we ain't in that top tier (and sadly never really have been established there). Do you think for a minute the former owners would have turned down £35m for Carrol, really ?? As for the reinvestment (or not) we won't know until the summer will we (I accept FFS would likely have spent it - well what Barclays would have allowed him to) What you really need to accept is that the Keegan "glory years" were our blip, we had our Shankly moment and we screwed it up, we won nowt, and let it all slip away and it's a LONG road back. Fact: the previous owners did not ie DID NOT - sell our best players for monetary reasons or create a club whereby our best players wanted to leave to further their careers or for monetary reasons. You can dispute this all you like and make up anything you like or spin it any way you like, but this is the facts. We will NOT re-invest the 35m quid in quality footballers, read that carefully, we will not reinvest that 35m quid in quality footballers with the intention to improve the team overall from the one that Carroll played in . Understand ? I'm afraid the statement "we won nowt", true as it may be, only highlights your complete fickleness and lack of appreciation of the fact that at least we had a go, a good go, and came within 90 minutes of landing the league or the FA Cup on 4 occasions, and played in europe more than any club bar 4 in the 15 years they owned it. You show me any other owners of NUFC who have did this, which makes the Halls and Shepherd the best owners we have had at this club by a million miles and Mike Ashley is positive proof that it may take a long long time to find someone else who understands the club like they did and matches it . What a shame that people failed to appreciate and can still only look back now and criticise. That is all my point is, and what is always has been. Appreciate what happened, and accept they were good, because you might never, never see it again in your lifetime. What I really don't get my head around is people who say they were around before 1992 and failed to appreciate it and took it for granted in the end. Fools, all of them, especially when they can't admit they got it massively wrong. Spot on, under the Halls and Shepherds we were one of the big boys, we were a buying club, we didnt sell our best players and most of all we had ambition. Ashley has thrown that legacy away Clubs like Villa and Wolves are now showing far more ambition than us - we will be overtaken and left behind by clubs much smaller than us but with far more ambition The novelty of year on year survival in the premier league will soon wear off - thats the most we ever achieve under Ashley - its shameful for a club with the potential of Newcastle and yet unbelievably some people still try and defend him and compare him favourably with the previous owners Oh I'm sorry, I forgot we were in the champions league when SJH sold up, I take it all back and here's our world beating, last first eleven, of the FFS reign Given Solano Ramage Taylor Carr Milner Butt Dyer Pattison Owen Ameobi Remind us when Sir John Hall sold Freddie Shepherd his shares giving him complete control ? Also remind us who it was that appointed Kevin Keegan as manager and told Sir John Hall when it was all but done and dusted ? Or continue to change the facts to suit yourself........ This ..plus the fact that Ashleys skid mark is a cunt ...Leazes keep on keepin on kidda ...youve got that cunts number : )

Its ..bye bye ...Tiote ...Guitierrez ..Barton ..and anyone lese with a modicum of talent ..when are you muppets going to get it into your heads that Ashley doesnt give a fuck ? Hes out to screw as much profit out of this club ..come what may ...hes a businessman ...not a football man ...what else needs to be explained ...Keegan was right .

Bye bye Jose ..and Barton too ...for having the temerity to speak out ..
