RE: our form hasn't improved so sacking Pardew wasn't the answer. Personally, I think it's harsh. Especially given that after 4 years of Pardew we put in bloody Carver to do even more damage. 4 years of a business plummeting , with a CEO who leaves, then they replace him with a senior non exec manager . Who would expect the company to start performing competitively after a new CEO being at the helm for 6 months? Why are we doing the same? For the first time in my life I'm believing the anti Newcastle hype of unreasonable expectations. Money spent or not, we're talking about doing a 360 from what has been drilled into most of these players for nearly 5 years. How the hell we avoided relegation last year is anyone's guess, Steve has inherited a relegation team, not a decent mid table team who nearly got relegated against the run, but a pure shite team playing pure shite long ball, defense first, football. There is improvement , but not results. FUCK wrong thread!

Why is he blacked up? And is that the theme of the day on the forum or something?

I don't think he'll be replaced and if he does , gawd only knows what lesser has been we are going to get.

You going to black up for me again this weekend?

fuck, just seen this injury report. There goes my Taylor and Mitrovic CB dream :/

He needs to try keep morale up, hes akin to that Iraqi defence minister. But he can't come out and say "we're shit , we need vast improvement quickly etc" as most of our players will play at hiding and not being held responsible for errors. I expect any manager to make statements like the above, he's little option. I bet he's fucking raging that he didn't get any defenders or a striker (Doumba really is a smokescreen imo).

Alright, toon fan aside. ANY club, ANY that is found to do this needs punishment from the FA .

Taylor and Ragevic at CB. That's a winning combo.

fuck. its like a curse is on us (or hopefully fat mike). Taylor's back right in time, as usual.

Great article that. I need a Happy Face graph to show if we have actually "spent" anything though , in terms of Ashley investment. I bleated on in the McLaren thread about this, but 80mil is not the same buying power as it was even 2 years ago . I don't see 80 mil in two windows, with the increased tv rights money as "putting the wheels on the cart" or whatever. It buys you nowt really. Wasn't it the aussies who put a law in saying that you can't own a football club unless you have a direct attachment or show by proof of investment? something needs to be done, the council are opposed, the public are opposed and no one likes to see this sort of ownership.

Every day this trial goes on it gets worse... disgusting.

I think its a bit harsh again on here. Do you want the manager to say the players are all shit and be all depressed? He needs to try and keep spirits up and keep the players onside in coaching to actually get them to learn how to play again. all this 80 mil talk, yep its a lot of money, and a few years ago it's a lot of money as far as transfers go, but now its fuck all - clubs are spunking that sum on ONE player. If you want a world class player you're paying 80 mil plus some. I'm keeping the faith, Saturday was shocking , but I can't blame McLaren for not having defenders as I still think he's got very little to do with transfers. Getting Shelvey, Mitrovic and Townsend were probably his only "purely independent" decisions. So disappointed... I really don't want us going back to hoofball in order to get results.

lol, this has all stemmed from me offering Gemmil a reach around last week innit? You've got all jealous and angry.

Aww thought you were asking me my age <edited here at 9:10 GMT for Ewarks accountability> forget that, want to see my house, I've a signed shirt by Keegan you can have? This is my view: http://imagesus.homeaway.com/mda01/036af5e8-4154-4637-b2a3-b675304b7386.1.10 You can come round here and spend Friday nights with me if you want, and we can hold hands and wonder why we started on such a bad foot, as we look out over the ocean before I go sell my watches.

so now I've abandoned the legislative WTF are you talking about? You asked for the law, I provided it, it says EXACTLY what I posted and what now ? Not much else on... oooo. so, Ewark. What are you wearing?

My friends all drive 10 year old banged out Japanese motors that we pay the same price as a bloody Porsche for.

I think we should arrange a toontastic union / night out - so we can all fight each other. United we stand, not in this forum you flaming nutters! PS. I love you all, except Ewark, whos just nasty to me - but you know what they say - you're always nasty to the people you want to neck with.

or at least it can be argued that he can reasonably know. That's what courts are for you see, it's a shame that its not as simple as "Ask Ewark" but that's the world I'm afraid.

I edited it for the other bit. That was before I went down the beach to sell those watches remember? Not a very friendly guy are you? Hows it exactly the point you are making, he can reasonably know hes in a position of trust when he's bringing the club into his grooming excersize with signed shirts etc. It's clear she idolises him only for his position as a premier league footballer for her hometown club. Editing again to wind you up.

Did you even read my post, or the specific link to the specific explanation of "abuse of position of trust" for sexual abuse? You come on, as usual with some snyde I know "the facts" everyone who disagrees is wrong, ask me to show you the law you quoted yourself, with the definition and that's the best you can do? How about, oh, ok then. cheers for showing me, since I asked you.

take a look at my balls and tell me where the smell's coming from. www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2003/42/part/1/crossheading/abuse-of-position-of-trust want spoonfeeding more? Ok then "F1 - subsection 2 , where <snip> knows or could reasonably be expected to know of the circumstances by virtue of which he in a position of trust <snip> Will that do? I think so, the whole "signed shirt" thing will fuck him right up hopefully. In other news - its a crime he's knocked back a belter of a lass, for a kid: www.facebook.com/stacey.flounders

Given his performance with the kids last week, I'm in no rush to see him. Emergency backup I hope at best, I want Perez and Mitro together up front, there's chemistry there I tell you.

Kevins got a point you know, I'd say the position of trust could be used. He's got an assumed responsibility as a football star in his community.
