Kitman

He's a clueless bullshitter, it's to be expected

I hope Krul is not for sale at any price

I fancy it will be 1-1. Can't see us keeping a clean sheet and the football will be shit. The atmosphere will likely be shit too. Pardew will give another Comical Ali post match interview too.

As others have said the only reason we wait until the last minute is to pick up cheap deals. Pardew has nothing interesting to say imo and I don't think he'll see out the season.

Why the fuck do we have to sell a top player before we can reinforcements? I don't understand how there is no money there to conclude our business. It looks like we've waited till the end of the window and we've got a concrete offer before we get our arse in gear. Crazy and baffling way to run things

yes, Pards could do a job at right back instead of debuchy

He wants to fanny about in gay paris not shabby north london. He'll go to psg, refusing to play is all part of choreographing the move. if I was confident we'd reinvest the money I'd be happy for him to fuck off to france

The result was no surprise, it's the manner of defeat. By the sounds of it no pace creativity or organisation. All problems that nearly got us relegated and which we've had the off season to address. Incompetence.

Don't think I'll bother with work this week. Not in the right frame of mind. Ffs

Let's see how pardoo spins this one. A shit preseason and a shit start. The clock's ticking on his tenure....

This is terrible. Bring back jfk !!!

It's obvious he wants to go. I hope Anita isn't his replacement.

Shit news but not unexpected. I think he'll go to psg.

Director of fuckall ?

It's the shambles most people predicted it would be when whiskey joe was put in charge of transfers. In the meantime we're supposed to be grateful for signing a crocked alleged rapist and having some old gates screwed to a wall. Happy days.

You should stop talking about tax planning....you plainly don't understand it. Incidentally iirc nufc have never charged sports direct a penny for advertising, which is the opposite of what you claim.

Make do till january perhaps? Although loaning campbell suggests another incoming striker

I read somewhere he's favourite with the bookies to get the sack

Pardoo's latest interview states that we need to be more threatening and score more goals but that has nothing to do with tactics or formations. Sounds a bit mike bassett to me....no wonder he wants more british players

Ashley seems to have a habit of getting hoodwinked by bullshitting cockney drinking buddies....who he then appoints to senior positions at his football club

One thing I will say is that Clarke has been an outstanding captain. I've been hugely impressed with how he has marshalled his troops and conducted himself with dignity. He's been a great credit to the Aussies imo.

Australia's batting is currently fucked imo. Rogers is a journeyman and at 36 isn't the future. Warner is more of a one day batsman. Khawaja has failed consistently and needs to go away and harden up. Hughes has terrible technique and no patience. Clarke is 32 and buckling under the strain of the captaincy and is just about the only class batsman they have. Smith has improved his technique but consistently gets out to rash shots. Watson is also 32 and has acquired a dodgy technique that sees him LBW every innings now. Haddin is 36 and misfiring and must be considering retirement. Their best batsman so far has been Rogers, a mediocre try hard in the twilight of his career. If Clarke fails (as he has a lot) then everyone else folds. The middle order has been routinely found out for poor technique and lack of stickability. The Aussies have a very good batting tail and this has masked the poor performance by the top order in 3 out of 4 tests imo. Worst of all, many of the team have known nothing but failure against England. Lehmann has instilled some self belief and fighting spirit but the talent isn't there presently. The bowling attack's decent but Harris is unreliable as a spearhead because he's injury prone.....which is unsurprising when you see how heavy on his feet he is. I don't know if they have decent players coming through. But senior players are ageing badly and the likes of Hughes, Watson, Khawaja, Smith and Argar don't seem up to it. They may need to jettison a load of the current lot and promote Aussie A players that don't have the stink of failure about them.

It's all the butter those frenchies use in their cooking innit? He should be using Flora Buttery instead

It's hard to be optimistic after our pre-season. At least we get it out of the way.

He's not worth 3k a week. 30 quid a day was about right, assuming he does a bit of tidying up about the place
