  1. "if they are out on the pitch, they can win you games" - that's the bottom line for me. To put any of our squad at that time ahead of him was just idiotic management.
  2. Unfortunately as I've approached 40 I'm not doing any of those 3 things.
  3. It's swings and roundabouts mate, you'll get a good spell - as soon as my contract killer feeds Mike his own fat arse. When I was younger than you are now, I was living in Harrogate near Leeds and a toon fan travelling up every weekend. Back then we were facing complete obliteration as a club , and Leeds were winning the premiership (division 1 back then) and getting into the champions league. I got a LOT of stick , but look now how things can change so much. Man city did something even worse and look at them now. It'll come , now stop feeling sorry for yourself , wash yer nads and get out and get some lasses like I was at your age. heh.
  4. I edited before you posted that Fish... but again, Ben Arfa is the best player we've had in years. End of.
  5. It's a nice place, bit old but I liked it a lot. Good drink too. Easy win for the toon. 6-0
  6. Ben Arfa is not an exponentially poorer player than any of our signings. Ben Arfa is a legend - End Of. Oh hold on, I'm misunderstanding. You're saying they're all poorer than Arfa, if so , sorry. If not - you can shove yer stat spreadsheets right up yer ring.
  7. I don't see why he shouldn't have a future here, especially given some of the shite we have on the bench up front (Riviere I'm looking at you)
  8. been of this link - but what a clanger - thanks for pointing that out. Connect 5... ffs.
  9. Yeah wiz, given that logic, the 13 mil for Thauvin isn't actually that bad, if you look at him buying a package of players and only 1 not taking straight to the team. I still think judgement of Thauvin is far too early. It doesn't help matters that the manager has his hands tied by such poor form to be able to risk playing him to build him up. based on what I've seen though, my opinion is Cabella was a better player and I don't understand the swap for another similar player , given that he's getting exactly the same treatment.
  10. Some serious shit must have gone on for the fat one to be willing to make such a loss.
  11. We're definitely coming out of the dark pardew spell, improving for longer periods. Goals will come, but it better be quick...
  12. Wijnaldum is going to be a club legend, he's mint. Glad the gaffe is experimenting too, why not.
  13. What a fuckin shit shirt that is. The connect 6 one would be good, if it wasn't for the fact that its FUCKIN CONNECT 5.. Maybe they have a special version, called connect 6 to match their fingers on each hand.
  14. As much as I dislike the man, I think that losing to Man City away with Crystal Palace doesn't really warrant shouting from the rooftops that it's proof he's shit at palace too.
  15. I was a bit blind, I've never really seen a "best" Tiote. He's always looked a stroppy radge to me. First season he was alright.
  16. If I were McLaren, I'd not start with 2 DM's and have Anita in DM with Sissoko alongside and put Perez on the right and De Jong in the centre, or Thauvin on the right and no De Jong. it's bad when we've got injuries like this, but if things don't work out in the 1st half we've nothing to lose by trying alternatives.
  17. My prediction - We will destroy them, but it won't be reflected in the score 2-1 Toon at best
  18. I agree NJS, but he's not Tiote in that second half . He's a wannabe Pirlo when he's booked, his distribution goes to shite and he becomes a paper cut out. In my opinion. I'm still sore about a thread years ago on here when I was moaning about his mentality and bookings, to be told that all "good" DM have that problem. It was bollox then and its bollox now. Now, where's my valium
  19. big IF . I hate Tiote and want him gone he's a fucking mentalist. No point being this "strong commanding" DM if you continually pick up yellow cards in the first fucking half. I have to hold my fucking shite in for the entire second half, through fear that the mad cunts going to get sent off or play like a fucking paper cutout.
  20. I vote ewark wrong on the red, but right on the penalty. Either way Colo was an idjit.
  21. My judgement is the same as it was after watching just the pre-season games. Much improved play style (or attempt at it anyway) but my judgement is he's an idiot to take the job, Ashley will fuck him with a squad of disjointed players who see us as a stepping stone. Seriously, I'd rather see us lose and play football than win and play Pardew style. I'm hoping I'm wrong because the signings have been immense, Thauvin excepted. Thauvin might come good though, it's a big ask for someone to come into a new team and a new league and just instantly be able to adapt - but the other ones have!
