Apologies, just a bit of devil's advocate. I do think the season ticket prices are pretty fair though, all things considered.

Aye, damn that scoundrel Mike Ashley with his reasonable ticket prices.

Ah 2003/04. The season we signed Lee Bowyer and signed Michael Bridges on a 3 month loan. I think we also ditched Acuna and Solano in the same time. The squad ended the season weaker than it began, without a doubt.

They've spent a canny bit in the summer - I'd be surprised if their wage bill is sustainable at the current level. Their top players will either want a pay rise or a transfer in the summer.

Used to live near the bloke who owns Start Fitness. He is a running fanatic and used to go out for a 1-2 hour run every night. He's got his son involved now, running the cycle shop.

I'm a firm believer in steady rather than rapid growth. One of the most important elements at any football club (or business for that matter) is the culture. Wholesale, significant changes to the squad are likely to rock the boat - the best policy, IMO, is to gradually improve, year on year. Top 10 might be the target this year, followed by top 7 next year, then maybe a push for the top 4 after that. By which stage, if it's all going to plan, the squad will have grown into a team comfortable playing at that level. Taking a mid-table team and throwing in a couple of new players doesn't suddenly transform it into a top 4 contender. As much as it goes against what I'd like to see as a myopic fan, slow, steady growth is likely to see us fare better over the next 5 years than chucking a fortune at a couple of mercenaries for a risky push for the Champions League.

Regardless of the size of his cock, he likely has erectile problems owing to excessive crisp consumption. As a result, his floppy monster is enveloped by fold after fold of saggy flab. Trips to the toilet involve him involuntarily pissing himself and hoping most of it finds its way out of his network of fat rather than being absorbed by his bed sores.

The majority of CEOs of FTSE 100 companies are infinitely more deserving of wealth than that dinosaur Allardyce. But that's another argument.

Who knows? Either way, its appalling.

To be fair, NUFC have said nowt on the matter. The only people saying anything are the agent and Montpellier's chairman.

It is, but Jonas was earning pennies at Mallorca. His payoff would have been relatively small, potentially funded by selling a house.

If he gets the boot by the porn barons, he is in line for a £4m payoff. No doubt he probably got at least £2m from us. Imagine being paid six million quid for not being a football manager. Nice work if you can't get it.

I doubt Cabaye has £6m available to him.

Yep, easily our player of the season thus far. He is superb at moving the play forwards 10-20 yards when we're a little bit deep. I think having Williamson in the back line has suited us too. His pace is non-existent, forcing us to play a little bit deeper to account for it, meaning a bit of space has opened up in front of the back four. This space belongs entirely to Tiote.

The cups are disregarded because they offer marginal financial benefit at significant risk. The extra games involved in getting to a final of a cup would be like adding 15% to our season. If we get another £800k from getting to the semis but drop down the league a couple of places as a result, losing £1.6m in the process, it's a costly exercise. I'm not saying it's what I want to see as a fan, but that's the logic behind it. What's bollocks? Pardew's contract?

Publicly stated aims and actual internal targets are two entirely different things. Pardew's contract structure means he gets paid significantly more as we climb the league table. There is no incentive for him to get to 8th then stop.

Just noticed that the lass in your avatar has no arms. I never had you down as being into amputee porn. You sick fuck.

There must be some sort of logic behind taking the LB off so often. I don't fully understand it, but it's too frequent to just be a coincidence.

Rafael definitely should have walked:

I think I spent most of the Allardyce NUFC era in a huff.

Against West Ham, it was because their forward line became 3 tall strikers. It became more a battle of height and aerial ability, and Dummett is pretty strong in the air.

I imagine every morning is awkward with a face like his.

Lots of focus on finding someone at fault for their goal. However, little talk about Sissoko and Remy missing two very scoreable chances earlier. At 3 or 4 up, we would have been out of sight.

He's a proper Toby jug-headed twat.
