Reinforcements?

No, but it looks like he may have been to Eindhoven to check on a left back called Eric Pieters...apparently Pardew checked him out personally yesterday v Alkmaar...this according to today's Daily Mirror. 22 years old and 10 caps for Holland, you'd imagine he could play a bit...good age/resale potential to keep jabba the hut and lambchop happy... I know naff all about this dutch fella, but i'm that fucked off with Enrique messing the club and fans around I'd take anyone over him. Stick him in the reserves with Barton. I guess if he's first choice Dutch left back he must be better or on par with Van Aanholt Like others I reckon that Enrique agreed to join Liverpool last season presumably without nufc's permission. Phil thompson probably dropped a clanger by breaking the transfer. Since then Liverpool have either been biding their time or they've not been prepared to pay our asking price. Leaving Enrique in limbo and in a huff at the club.

We're like a shite, badly run Arsenal. We're more like Trotters Independent Trading than M&S

Yuk, look at that face. "Yes! Yes! I'm coming! I'm coming! Oh God, heurgghhhh!"

Deadman's going to burn hIs house down, man!

Never seen Goal! then? oh I actually have as well anna friel as a nurse, thats really all I remember Tbf that was the best bit

Never seen Goal! then?

I think we could get Deano on a pay to post deal

ffs could they throw out any more names at random. He's also interested in Shane Long, Jermaine Defoe, Carlton Cole, Dean Windass, Craig Bellamy, Huntelaar, your mate's nana etc etc.

I expect it would be like that scene in Lock Stock and 2 Smoking Barrels where Vinnie Jones repeatedly slams the car door on a gangster's head. Except it would be Dekka's head in a filing cabinet, with Barton screaming about Twitter.....

He's looking at some kid from LA he saw kicking a ball around the park. Santiago Muñez I think he's called. Not sure if he's any good, like. Bet the little shit is just looking at us as a step ladder to a Champions League side... The writing was on the wall when the chairman publicly refused to sign Carlos Kickaball....

Yes, and the club's adminstration

I disliked him before he took over at ours and now I hate him after what he did. Shit signings, shit tactics, shit football and I agree he would've taken us down if he hadn't been sacked. He's a snake oil salesman - he talks a good game but his sole aim is to stop the oppo playing and nick a goal at a set piece from a big lad. The tactical genius who got ua a defeat against Derby, the worst team in PL history. And all that sports science crap is just a smokescreen for what a terrible manager he actually is, the great big balloon headed arsehole. If it wasn't for his mates on telly and in the press he'd have been run out of town a long time ago but as it is he keeps popping up like a coldsore.

They certainly like to muddy the waters, there's no doubt about that, never call a spade a spade unless its to slag someone. By the way, loved the bit where Pardew's got mike and dekka 'telt' about bringing in new players 'NOW'. Fuck off, man, Pardew you fucking plug. Fools nobody bar a few people who want to believe it. This is what Pardew had to say at the time of his appointment. “I represent the fans. I'm an employee of the club, but I'll be knocking on the door trying to get the maximum funds I can to make the club the best it can be" With our net spending standing at minus £37m since he last knocked on that door I’m not sure why he thinks knocking on it again is a good idea. Perhaps he’d be better off jumping off the Redheugh Bridge. But this time he'll really knock on it. With feeling. I bet he puts his transfer requests on a bit of paper and shoves them under dekkas door, like Mike Bassett.

Meaning that Ashley makes all the decisions that matter imo. You know, as regards the OP.

Mort told supporters Ashley had cleared the club’s debts but failed to mention he’d replaced them with new debts. He didn't give a shit about the supporters. That said he probably would have been able to handle internal matters with more tact than Dekka. Lesser of two evils. Slippery crafty London lawyer vs sleazy lying casino manager. Both doing the bidding of crass clueless fat businessman. Mort had more about him than llambias imo but both are basically hired help.

Mediocrity is the plan. If we're lucky.

I recall reading on another website that Pardew was negotiating his contract with the club while Hughton was still in his job. I'm not going into the details but it was a very credible source. Pardew subsequently said the first he heard about the job was when Hughton was sacked and the club got in touch. Blatantly an absolute lie and proof, if any were needed, that the man has the morals of an alleycat, the heart of a weasel, and the truthfulness of Reginald Pryor. You wouldn't expect him to answer that question honestly though would you? Would you expose your bosses as lying scumbags on day one of the biggest job of your life? tbh it's easily dealt with. You just say "Look, I'm not going to get into that. Next question." Instead he chose to tell a barefaced lie, because it comes naturally.

Except a pub, aye?

90% of the people sniping on this board handed over their hard earned and fully supported the idea of a united fans pressure group. Not for the purpose of self-agrandising, but just to get a vote and go with the majority in a professionally run organisation. Certain individuals pursuing their own agenda within the organisation or insisting on starting splinter groups when they don't agree with the direction of others want to look at themselves rather than giving it holier than thou protestations. My way or the highway is no way to run a collective. I am still a member of NUST, but since the election of the committee, the organisation simply stopped functioning. 3 former committee members helped set up this loose amalgam of interested parties because NUST had failed, or lost any credibility. In the absence of NUST action, what other alternative is there? A pub. Ask Christmas Tree, he has the details.

The Camberwell Carrot, as you'll know. Which sounds a bit like a nickname for Pardoo.

Golfmag on N-O You always hear of these tales after the event, but Golfmag was telling us weeks if not months before Hughton was sacked that Pardew was incoming. In a nutshell

If he's looking for a club to realise his potential, we're the right club. Just ask Hugo Viana.
