  1. Scotchie/schmotchie....the amount of people here who confuse infer with imply does my head in.
  2. Then you should have stopped supporting NUFC long ago.
  3. It's amazing how susceptible we humans are to a snout in the trough. I don't honestly know anybody who is immune to turning a blind eye to questionable morals in return for something they want. My take on it is that we will all stop giving a fuck if we sign a defender or two in the January window and go on a winning streak. Sad but true. If we don't get our act together soon though form wise, we are once again, a lazy sports journo's wet dream.
  4. It's tackier than a fruit polo in a warm lorry though, I'll give you that.
  5. You don't sound very familiar with the reality of Tesco to be fair. You can say that morally you are prepared to accept the bullying tactics used by big supermarkets in exchange for low food prices but to then morally object to a company like Wonga is ridiculous.
  6. better than the teams who didn't lose 3-0?
  7. If it is going to be SD then I can see a fair few people not being able to wear the shirt anymore.
  8. Just handing out long contracts to the manager and staff are no guarantees of anything though if we're not investing in players. This window was a step backwards and we're all seeing the result. Players and teams are fickle and it takes a very short time for what seemed like a solid side to unravel and turn into relegation material. Heads can go down, a key player can get tempted away, squabbles can start in the dressing room and the manager can lose confidence. We're obviously not there yet but we have been in the not too distant past and I hope MA realises this. Investment in the side isn't an option, it's a necessity. We're much more careful about how we spend money now and that's a huge reason why we're not leaking money while still being average but to not see that we needed to just get bodies in this summer is ignorant and we could well end up spending more than we would have done just to get back to where we were.
  9. That is one of the finest goals I have ever seen.
  10. At least we got the points. *trots out the old 'good teams still win when they're not playing well' line.*

    Shh. Just cause you're a mod now I can't be arsed splitting hairs all day. He hinted at a few players heads being turned during the window and if you want to go back to those days you're welcome to them. The point still stands regardless of the exact ins and outs, Pardew has done enough for me to trust him over any particular player who's deciding it's time to give it the 'grand je suis' over money.

    I'm sure Pardew was hinting at it (Cabaye) at the start of the season. Cisse supposedly had the hump about not being allowed to play for Senegal (at the Olympics??) too.
