Would rather Shearer had left.

I agree, too bad we only wore it a couple of times.

It's not as daft as it sounds, Pardew's doing really well. Who else is there who's English? Pearce, Allardyce, Hodgson.....? Not exactly awe inspiring.

That's fantastic. :lol:

Dodgy bastard.

Yeah, cause that never happened under Shepherd..... :D

Yeah, cause that never happened under Shepherd.....

Fuck sake. What a bollocks half that was.

:lol:

So glad he's not our problem anymore.

the PSG rumour will continue because he is a Paris born lad and a PSG fan the arsenal one though? why leave us for them now? we've just signed one of his compatriots and we've got him in the form of his life, which is saying something considering his record in the past I agree, I think he'd be mad to go now.

fair point, but you should address the reason why they want to leave ? Agreed ? Players leave for two basic reasons. More money and/or a better chance of success. I think we seem to have a good team spirit at the moment and we feel like a club on the up (compared to where we've been for the last few years - including the last three or four years of the Shepherd/Hall era and the first three or four years of the Ashley era). I'd be surprised if Ba wanted to leave at the moment but if he did I would not want him to stay. I don't miss Bassong, Enrique, Carroll, Barton or Nolan even though when they played for us I wanted them to stay. I'm sure more than one of them looks back at us and wonders if they made the right move. We are doing things differently to how the Shepherds and Halls did but league positions are league positions. If we do it by unearthing cheaper young talent or buying big names I'm more interested in seeing us win something than how we do it. We've done this argument to death, I agree with a lot of what you say but I also want to enjoy this good season.

To be honest, if a player actually WANTS to leave then they should fuck off IMO! (Not saying Ba wants to go btw).

ok then...

And yes, she has.

Going to get no end of abuse for this, but... she's got too much. I assume you mean "rouge".

Good lad.

Get the fuck in.

Yes it does. What's he up to now?

Definitely would have him back for the right price.

Yep!

Legend. Called it St James' Park too. One of the things I love about that interview is that he actually answers the questions honestly. None of that media trained footballer brainless platitudes. He seems intelligent and I guess that helps... Seems like an absolutely top bloke. Agreed. Very intelligent and seems like a decent guy.
