Monroe Transfer

Constant praising of Chelsea and Chelsea players.

Chelsea are so boring to watch tonight. For all the money they've spent this is poor.

Apparently they have to confirm it to the New York Stock Exchange or something, first.

Just noticed that there's some guns in that photo.

Too much cheese.

I'm really jealous of them. They'll get the right man in, give him a bit of money, and they'll do a lot better next season. We'll stick with Pardew, give him the bare minimum to spend, and finish midtable next season. It's the perfect time to replace Pardew really - a lot of players leaving; Pardew overseeing the departures and replacement suggests to me he's going nowhere soon. At best he might go if we lose our first 10 games of next season, by then it's arguably too late to get much out of the season and any new manager's given objective would just to be stay as close to midtable as possible.

Posted this elsewhere, hence the quoting I get your point, and I guess it's a good thing that his presence has ensured a pretty stable feel around the club. I also appreciate we've had some good times under him. But I think we're all fed up of him and Ashley now, the club have no ambition other than to stay in the league (the cynics will say this is because NUFC are now just a Sports Direct marketing tool, hence the stadium being covered in tacky logos) and Pardew seems fine with this. Even the season we finished fifth we had issues with his tactics and he had some excellent in-form players then who perhaps carried the team in the same way Cabaye and Remy have this season. His tactics and starting 11s as of late have been very unimpressive. People might say we don't have the finances to compete at the top, but a) we've done it (11/12, and first half of this season arguably), and the likes of Everton have proved it can be done; with a good manager, a good ethos and attitude throughout the club, a little ambition and some savvyness in the transfer market. The one problem with removing Pardew is who do you replace him with? You could suggest an ex-player, but because we went down under Shearer Ashley will probably not consider that. You could suggest a novice manager, but Hughton went because the club said he didn't have enough experience (nonsense). We'll never prise a decent manager away from another club and those out of work are either going to want to manager Spurs/Man Utd or they'll be savvy enough to realise they're too good/ambitious for the likes of Newcastle. tl;dr: fair play to Man Utd.

Pardew has quit! Smoking.

Bit harsh on Willo.

I don't think they'll be a mad rush by Champions League clubs to get him because it's old news that his attitude leaves something to be desired. I actually think Pardew managed him well in the past, but isn't good enough to manage him as he currently is. Both men won't be at the club next season, it's one or the other.

DIdn't you just waste 90 minutes of your life watching NUFC?

Decent I imagine, it's a mild night and most people will have tomorrow off.

Bet he microwaves his eggs and bacon too "for extra crispiness".

Can we just give them the 3 points and save on travel expenses?

Not sure about the bacon either.

Going to ignore all football media for the next few weeks.

We know.

He's gone! To pick up some milk and bacon from his local Co-Op.

Best film ever, probably. As always best watched with the English overdub.

How many Man City games have you watched? edit; also, I'm not sure being a Newcastle fan makes you any more likely to hate/dislike a top club than any other fan of a midtable side tbh. Chelsea and Liverpool are disliked by many fans. A club like Arsenal isn't.

I actually hate football. Just end this season already, get England knocked out early doors and let me enjoy the World Cup in peace.

And that club are going to win the league. Thanks to Jozy Altidore. Since my own club have done so little to engage my emotions, I'm probably more bothered by events outside our club than I'd usually be.

Fuck off.

To be fair they've got a lot more to play for.
