Monroe Transfer

What are you on about? Do I need a season ticket to complain about the club? If I started having a go at the fans or making out that I'm a better fan than anyone else on here then I'd be out of order, correct. No I don't spend as much money on the club as I'd like to, unfortunately I live on the other side of the country and work long hours. If I'm not happy with certain things (take my 'manager of the season' post with a pinch of salt, very heat of the moment stuff), then I'm sorry that offends you. I've said myself that we'll probably turn a corner soon enough. Never once called for the manager's head either. Faith in him will slowly erode over time if results/form were not to pick up, but I think they will. Plenty of mitigating circumstances, mixed in with his mistakes.

I have to ask - who is asking for his head?

Jesus wept. Calling Santon pish is laughable and the others either haven't had much of a chance yet (and aside from Marveaux who is only 26 himself, are young).

Yeah today wasn't all bad, I had a good bowl of soup earlier.

Why are you focusing on just this game, Toonpack? The others are clearly talking about the season as a whole.

They're all problems, fact is Williamson and Simpson shouldn't be near our starting 11. The former seems a nice guy so I feel a bit sorry for him, but the sooner the latter is out the door the better. Hope he enjoys being the centre of attention because of his pop star missus because he'll never be the centre of attention for being a decent footballer.

Yup, January will be massive for us. If there's anything to gain form from dodgy form, it's making weaknesses like ours obvious. We were lucky last season in terms of injuries and suspension, less so this time round.

i actually personally believe we'll turn a corner soon enough, but won't come close to matching last season's achievements.

And? Not that it needs pointing out, but I never said we'd be relegated. Just that I wouldn't be 100% comfortable till it was confirmed we were fine. Couldn't take anything for granted back then. The season we did go down I actually thought we'd be alright, especially after we played Middlesbrough and beat them. I was feeling good about our chances after that. Plenty of posters on here more negative than I am, LBT and CT for instance.

Safe to say Alan Pardew won't be winning any manager of the season awards this time round. If he's even in a job by the time that comes around. A month more of this form, this attitude, this ineptitude and he deserves to be under a certain amount of pressure if he isn't already. The players are doing him no favours at all either and nor has the owner who deserves so much criticism for not improving the defence. Simpson and Williamson are just woeful. Going to try to keep my mind off football for the rest of the day now.

Just to make my day even worse, Enrique has set up one and scored another.

Fucking joke.

Ben Arfa looks well up for it

As long as Ben Arfa has an element of freedom to his position...

I sighed as for a split second I thought that said Sh Ameobi. Ferguson and Sammy in a 433 has me excited. Ben Arfa given free reign to cause mayhem in the middle of the park. Tiote to protect the back 4 and Anita to be the conduit between the front 3+HBA.

Sounds like a bit of a prick really (to say the least) but he won't be a Newcastle player for much longer so I don't really care.

Disgusted with myself but I just ended up reading another one of these articles on The Sun's website, load of nonsense (article is partly about Simpson saying this Tulisa has bad "tekkers", referring to her sex tape) but then I saw this line which actually is of interest to me: Might as well bring in a new RB in January then.

You going to do your hair like him as well?

I thought Jay Jay had a wife of many decades who'd have scat related sexual intercourse with him?

The Blackburn goal is the one you can vote for.

How is this front page news? Rhetorical question, I might add.

Whipped.

If you find yourself "constantly... forgetting our games nowaday" then you're not much of a fan, to be brutally honest. Fans should stick with their club through thick and thin. I'm going to assume you didn't start supporting NUFC till we get promoted, as if you think this is half as bad as you're making out then you've really got little perspective to draw upon.

She needs her publicist to put out another defensive statement informing her fans that her technique has improved with age.

If only there was a generic small time football blather thread for this sort of thing.
