anyone got a link to pardew's presser

Strange but true. The more pessimism like this I see, the quicker it helps my eternal optimism bubble back to the surface. 6 months ago we brought two great quality players in. Even the great Man U lost Teves and Ronaldo All clubs lose big players. Unfortunately this is part and parcel of modern football. And remember, over 50% of this forum think we were right to take the money. (not me btw). Chin up and get a happy avatar man. it will only have been right to take the money if a large percentage of it is reinvested. that remains to be seen but i'm not holding on to much hope there, unlike that tiote's nutz loon

he'd probably let dalglish shag his nan for £35m man

could be worse like. i know what you mean but i can think of plenty of teams to support that would be far worse craic.

what a lot of bullshit that line is. as if he wouldn't have gone to man u, chelsea or real madrid ahead of liverpool if they'd been in for him

Pardew said he was 4-5 weeks from fitness in the press conference today. I wonder what else he was lying about. if he does return for the next game he'll lose all credibility. i'd say the same for the club if it wasn't already the case. He has no credibility already. If he wasn't lying about Carroll, then he was the unwitting patsy of FMA and Diamond Dekka. Either way he doesn't have a clue what's going on above, just like Kinnear. i was talking about carroll but the same could be said for pardew tbf

it's fucking fine mate. get her telt.

launches tonight for those of you that feel the need to be cheered up.

nufc. here to fucking amuse you

well you can either laugh or cry i suppose. i've gone through the whole range of emotions in the past 24 hours. disbelief led to misery then anger and finally a begrudging acceptance that has left me bitterly amused at the whole situation. fuck it. it's just a game (as mrs G always likes to tell me). i'm planning on getting shit faced at craven cottage tomorrow, serenading super shola and sticking two up at mike ashley.

Dreamland them 3 compared to ours. shouldn't laugh really.

how many times lads? you can lose weight and still be fat. losing weight is not the holy grail if you want rid of your love handles. you can cut fat and not necessarily lose many pounds.

or you sell him, but you make sure you leave yourself plenty of time to get in a suitable replacement or two.

still in a foul mood after such a shite transfer window

the annoying thing is we could compete with them if we had the right owner.

my bets on never, not now

worst haircut of any toon player in our lifetime?

has to go to 5 in midfield when ireland's back. lovelyhands and best are bench warmers at best in this league.

shola 'the fenham pele' ameobi leon 'simply the' best nile 'dutty custard' ranger peter 'wasn't quite good enough for the SPL' lovelyhands honestly, i'm struggling to remember a shitter batch than this lot. even in the dark days in the 80s or 90s, we had someone like micky quinn who could bang them in. shola ameobi our front line forward for fucks sake.

This tbh. It could have been fucking £100m we've still got Shola, Best, Lovenkrands and Ranger as our forward line and no guarantee whatsoever that we'll buy anyone of note, people have been screaming how we need a winger and a striker to go alongside Carroll all month and instead we've sold Carroll, loaned out a winger and brought in a CM on loan. Selling your best player to a panicking team as the window's slamming shut without replacement, good business for Ashley but shite for us fans. This 100%, threadbare just got barer...couple of injuries and when the remaining forwards inevitably struggle to find the net we'll be found out and struggling. Shola probably hasn't got much longer until he breaks down again. chill, ashleys thought it all through. we've got leon best and lovenkrands to step up next time shola's injured

No, you get a grip. We'll lose that much if we go down as we might well do now we've lost our main goal threat. £35m, no doubt embezzled by an owner who doesn't have a history of sanctioning big money deals. £35m, that can't be reinvested in replacing him for the remaining games in which to save our season. I'm stunned that anyone out there - be they Toon fan or not - thinks this is a good deal. This was an excellent deal up until the point of the window closing. Selling that player for any amount and not replacing him makes this potentially be a suicidal deal. This will be the season of what ifs. in a nutshell. if they'd been honest, sold him for a ridiculous price in the middle of the window then reinvested the cash in 3 or 4 players that improved the squad before it shut, it could have been a smart move that the fans would have accepted and would have made good business sense. instead we're presented with another ashley farce, where a top player isn't replaced.

You fucking idiot. 35+15 of his own money which he would have to of spent before the AC sale. Your the fucking idiot Gemmill. Do one you acidic little troll. Let's see if we spend £50m in the summer. You live in fucking cloud cuckoo land man. Any time something shit happens at this club you turn up with one of your "Let's look on the bright side" threads. There isn't a fucking bright side you silly twat. How many times does Ashley have to hoof you in the cobblers before you realise that he's not doing any of this as part of a plan to make this club again. I'll say this for you though. Mike Ashley would fucking love you. Such an endearing way with your words gemmill. Such a happy soul aint ya? I never said we WILL spend that, read you fuckin muppet, i said we have every right to EXPECT that figure to be spent. Do i think we will? No But with that money and some of his own clout which he only rightly would of had to spend then you come to a figure of near 50mil. I'll say this though..... i'd love to bump into you in town...i hate you and your anally negative retardation which is your opinions . i bet he's shitting himself

You fucking idiot. 35+15 of his own money which he would have to of spent before the AC sale. Your the fucking idiot Gemmill. Do one you acidic little troll. sorry like mate but you're living on another planet if you think ashley is going to invest 50m. what has he done so far to make you think he'll do that now? the fact that he's made net profits the last few windows should tell you you need to know about his recruitment strategy. buy cheap, sell high. he's in this game for the money, nothing else.

i'm going. determined to enjoy myself, despite the owner's best efforts. looking forward to cheering us home to an away victory that will take us above carroll's new club in the table.
