You know, whenever Ashely's gone on and done stuff like this, I like to think of him as this fat red horned bastard with a trident in his hand and a mackem shirt on. Then I always go on to think surely he must be incensed about the job Carr is doing. Next thing we know he'll do something about it. Cant believe its actually happened

The man cant string two sentences together ffs! He's supposed to be 'directing' our football? What an absolute farce! One little positive thing we've had over the last couple of seasons is the prospect of Carr giving us a couple of names to be excited about. Fuck that now. Fully expect the likes of Sidwell and Bent to be coming in. FUCK OFF ASHLEY YOU TWAT!

And we were dreaming about Benetiz a few weeks back..... Arent there any more rich Russians/Arabs wanting to have some fun? Nothing could be worse than this.

Obviously Kinnear is here to cut out a lot of the good work Carr has been doing. So yes, expect to see Bent in black and white come August.

Beyond ridiculous. Ashely---Lambias----Kinnear---Pardew---- Roll on the good times

Well it was about time the club did something to piss us off again.

We're in the market for a CB, whether we get a decent one or not is another matter. This is also probably more about him wanting a shot at first team football than us selling him. He knows he'll never be a first team regular here, may have a chance at Cardiff although I doubt he'll be a regular starter for them either.

The results in the background, precious lot they have to shout about dont they?

Aye hope he can enjoy a decent few years somewhere before retiring. So thats another CB that we need now. Btw what are the odds he will score against us from a long floated freekick?

Someone said above we ended up with 8 men.

Just goes to show you how important mental strength is in sport.

Yup, I just dont see us replacing him if he goes. The difference in the side when he came back towards the end of the season was massive. Perhaps Mbiwa can one day be the type of defender Colo is right now, certainly seems to have similar attributes. Comfortable on the ball, good at reading the game. I think he needs a couple of years though.

He's perfect for it. Just have to tell the lads to do the exact opposite of what he did.

Sigh, why do we have such short memories? The whole team struggles for a year, for various reasons discussed at length already. Yes, no doubt the players have failed to live upto expectations this year, again, for a variety of reason. Nevertheless they along with the coaching team need to look at themselves and ask the question whether they did all they could do ensure they performed at their peak for the team. But suddenly it seems we want to ship out everyone? Not speaking in terms of this forum only, but going around the net it seems people wouldnt mind us selling Cisse, Cabaye, Tiote, Jonas etc. What does that leave us with and are we really confident our management will go out and replace them? Players will always come and go, and you cant blame anyone for wanting to leave us for Man Utd, but lets not get excited everytime a journo comes up with a story because they dont have much else to do over the next couple of months.

I get your point Ant but its the same here. I can only once remember clicking on the sub form, thought I'll come back later to it and then just didnt. Just had a look at it now and its good fun! Would defintely be reading them next season if someone did them.

Dunno about the video but: http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/kevin-keegan-describes-second-stint-4065119?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

Interview with Sky apparently. Nothing that we didnt already know before though.

Which would also free up Cabaye to do some damage up front.

After reading Keegan's comments about Ashley and co, its just hard to gather any sort of confidence about the upcoming seasons despite the fact I like our starting eleven,

We tried to rectify the mistakes of the summer in January, so Im hoping those mistakes wont be repeated again the very next summer. Thats all. Anyway its not like Im saying we'll be getting 4-5 players again. Those reports about us being interested in two signings probably arent that far off the mark. If one of them is Carlton Cole or Spearing though.......

Because everyone can see we desperately need one?

True, not panicking, still a good few months to go. Even Ashley and co. should have enough sense to see we need some realy quality up front. Fully expecting an exciting forward to arrive Apart from that it'll be a bonus if we get anything other than the likes of Spearing.

Fernandinho set to join Man City for around 35M. Even the likes of Norwich have signed Wolfswinkle havent they? West Ham trying for Negregedo. We get linked with bloody Spearing
