I reckon he's right, given a choice why would you hire someone more likely to be absent?
-
Harsh.

Slower pace than the last game, but the change in play style is more obvious. Early yet (15 mins in) but Aarons has looked fit and sharp and Gino gets a goal after 6 mins. Let in a shocker. Lol... 2 in now... oh dear
-
lol... noOOOOOOOOOOOOooooo
-
Thing I remember about Owen is he was constantly unavailable for the toon, but EVERY fucking time he got an England callup he was magically fit and available.
-
Owen, Barnes, Rush

Edit, I'm full of shit.

Yeah paye to their own companies. End tax Spam
-
lol. I just hope he keeps that fucking horrendous celebration away... We get enough shit from the media at this club without him licking klunge in front of the wee bairns.

I bet he isn't paying 4% tax let alone 40. His agent will be much more savvy than that. Which footballer does PAYE???? He'll have a LTD company or a conglomerate he joins. Don't get me started on football clubs either, they turn massive profits but pay very little in Corp tax. Have a search on "bing" for footballers tax dodge. Newcastle paid zero tax in 2012 and 2011 apparently, but neither did most other clubs. Blackpool paid 100,000 on 21 mil profit Anyhoo, sorry for bringing up tax.

I don't think he can get a work permit??? Rules changed didn't they to only the "top 20" nations or something? Looks like a fantastic addition to me though. I also concur with the sentiment that Taylor is a better defender than most credit him with. His behavior and injury status are a different thing tho.

What a great last few pages, thanks for the smiles during a slow afternoon at work . I have to ask though, whats this chilled grape stuff all about? Tried searching, but its been mentioned in so many posts I can't find the origin.

@@David Kelly - I hear you, but when it comes to buying 2 defenders or a CB and an attacker, I'd go with the former. I rate Cisse and Perez, De Jong's around, and we've got Gino too - so for me there's 4 attacking players that are alright. I think our attacker situation has looked worse only due to Pardew and Carvers' preference to le hoof ball. Put service to Cisse and Perez's feet and they'll score loads I reckon. I can't say the same defence wise - I rate Janmaat (who's had some poor games) and that's about it. Willo, Taylor and Colo just aren't good enough. Haidara's ok, but then that's all our strength and depth innit?
-
Colback's alright isn't he? I agree completely though, I'd sell 80% of the squad before Anita.
-
I thought it already had?
-
I'll try again , 3rd time lucky. Is this it lads? 1 "super signing" and then duck all else? Poor Gino's going to be gutted if he's the only one. I don't care about strikers or midfielders , we desperately need 2 CB's , Colo, Willo and Taylor just aren't good enough.

Alan Pardew - Poltroon sacked by a forrin team

@@Andrew -- here's one place I saw it. http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/steve-mcclaren-plans-lead-newcastle-9648354 ffs why can't I cut and paste in this forum.....\ Btw, I'm not saying I don' think the man we don't mention anymore isn't a wanker. -
Yeah fair enough kitman. I was just comparing to a few years back when I could last be arsed to watch pre season (think it was Keegan under Ashley era, but could be mistaken). Sissoko baffles me though, with his back holding puffing and panting malarkey. RE: the McLaren "style" thing, it's too early to say , but I defo noticed a big change as far as playing the ball across the floor much more often.
-
I watched the full 90 and agree with everyone else really. Although it is pre-season I was surprised some players got a full 90 - but the fitness level and sharpness looked woeful - worse than the last pre season campaign I watched. Colback and Anita had decent games, Sissoko's goal was lucky, wouldn't have flown in the premiership. One thing not mentioned - does anyone else notice Sissoko's almost constant feigning of injury? Does he have a problem with his lower back or what?? He was doing it all last season in every game, puffing , holding his back and walking like hes been rammed up the arse.

Alan Pardew - Poltroon sacked by a forrin team
scoobos replied to Kid Dynamite's topic in Newcastle Forum
Ok MF, I won't mention him again. I never said owt about 5th though tbh and I'm not saying he's a good manager, I'm saying that the baying wolves wanting him fired and expecting DeBoer or bloody Moyles to come and replace him were mad. I'm over the moon we've got McClaren as imo he's far better than what I thought was within Ashleys reach. Your "scoobos is a shit fan who's happy that Newcastle are shit cos its proved you right in a forum topic" bollox just goes to prove what I'm saying about having a contrary view igniting a flood of unwarranted shite. I've no beef with you, but having a counter opinion resulting in that sort of reply is a bit shit. McClaren - when talking about having "no confusion" over his role as head coach, he mentions his job is the same as before, get players in, coach them , increase their value. That says to me that little has changed -

Strawb no neeeeeed man. I hear u fish, but look back through this thread and you'll see me say getting rid will result in us getting worse, which we did. Mclaren is already quoted as saying his mandate is to increase player value, whilst he's a better manager, you could have fergie work under Ashley and struggle. -
Alan Pardew - Poltroon sacked by a forrin team
scoobos replied to Kid Dynamite's topic in Newcastle Forum
And that's what I'm talking about , the whole bracketed (I doubt in your case) bollocks. I'm a fan through and through. Lets see ey? Of course I want McLaren to do well, I'm a fan of him to be honest - but I'm fucked if I'm saying that ridding of Pardew solved much, In fact it got us Carver. If McLaren can do better than Keegan & Pardew I'd be happy, but with Ashley I doubt it. He'll fuck him over and have his people write statements for him just as before, in fact I reckon his first statement has already continued this trend. Of course I want to be optimistic and see the club do well. But then I can't be very optimistic because I don't believe that anything has truly changed. I'd bet money that Pardew will do better at Palace this year than he did at Newcastle (5th aside). -
Cheers Howay

scoobos replied to Kid Dynamite's topic in Newcastle Forum
heh same response as last time then. Well I don't give a shit, I'm sticking to my guns. You can't still use the "the team hasn't been Pardewed yet" response at the end of next season mind. I might be a sucker, but maybe Ashley has changed a little bit and let McLaren do a good job too. -

scoobos replied to Kid Dynamite's topic in Newcastle Forum
Whilst I wasn't exactly endeared to him, I didn't really understand the sackpardew movement, as it needed to be rid of Ashley really. But I've banged on about that enough, he's gone now and thankfully I've been proven wrong that we couldn't get anyone better as McLaren and Pardew are worlds apart in my opinion of them. This season at Palace will show him more fairly though, whos to say his stupid behavior and tactics weren't related to the endless shite he must have endured working under Mike. The juries out for me, I was surprised with the tactics he used at Palace last year - especially against Man City where they had a go (yet many forum members on here went apeshit saying they played really negatively)
