Other teams won't be so wasteful and Krul will have worse games? D'oh!

Never have heard of it and can't think of a region here where they could be local food tbh.

With this logic we should keep the current players as well as there isn't any guarantee that we are likely to sign better players under Ashley and Kinnear.

Maybe not on his own but in an offside position...

And that with Joe spending almost two years sorting the deal out...

For 11m (13m €).

He knows so much, he would have saved the world from the great depression if he hadn't been stuck in Nepal at that time... He was also awarded the Nobel prize in Economics three times.

It's how they explained the appointment iirc and was rather more meaning that they wanted to fulfil people's wishes than these wishes being openly expressed. It was when Ashley tried to be popular, something he certainly doesn't try to be any more

Wasn't Allardyce Shepherd's last appointment just before Ashley bought the Club? IIRC when they brought in Keegan they said that they wanted to bring in their own man and that they had 'listened to the fans'. Probably the only time they really did (Ashley certainly didn't keep his word when he said he listened to the fans and promised to sell the club) - and probably the only major decision they got right.

He's probably right with this though...

Leipzig in Germany who are playing in a lower league though.

No class. It has to do with last season when Robben missed the title deciding penalty though http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=TPnywYYRvBM&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DTPnywYYRvBM

Or the one they were wearing when they won in 1975 and 1976.... ;-)

"There has been a great deal of speculation in recent weeks but our desire, as we announced back in September, is to bring long-term mediocrity to this club. It's up to us all now to work closely as a team to ensure next season sees us lumbering in the bottom half of the table again."

The lack of depth of the squad has been the boards fault and not made Pardew's easy. Still the awful performances and the criminal missuse of some players are foremost down to the manager. With this squad we should be nowhere near the relegation zone even considering bad luck and/or injuries.

Unless it is the same PR agency and their "public relations exercises" they relied on in the Keegan case ...

Pardew can fuck off either back to the 80s or to a lower league with his negative football.

You must not turn pages on history. History is to learn from, not to forget about. The Keegan times weren’t just an exception but an example of what you can achieve if you get the place buzzing. That’s why Ashley was right to appoint Keegan again – and it was his biggest mistake to piss him off. Ashley and Llambias still seem to have neither a clue about football nor the club they own/run. They chose that it is more important to try to get the finances right by selling tacky stuff via the club shop, the name of the stadium or piss off club legends than to care about the history of the club. That’s where I think they are totally wrong, because it is something you can achieve even without paying over the odds but by just have a philosophy that matches the club.

They are still the same people who replaced Keegan with Kinnear though...

Did Simpson's gestures before the throw in mean that his team mates should come close because he can't throw that far?

You hardly can get a decent atmosphere in the Olympic stadium - even when it is full. Berlin is of course worth a visit, but for a good crowd I'd go to Union Berlin in the Alte Försterei. They are bit like the eastern Germany/Berlin version of St. Pauli.

Berlin got relegated and are playing in an half empty stadium, don't think it would be a nice match day experience... In the 1. Bundesliga I'd just stay clear of Augsburg, Fürth, Hoffenheim, Wolfsburg and Stuttgart (although depending on the game) for a good matchday experience. I'll give more detailed informations about teams if you want to.

The fixure list is always announced about at least two months in advance ("planning"). With the original one being in Munich, going to a Hofbräuhaus in Hamburg would be like going to New Zealand to drink Australian wine. Something only someone would do who probably also eats Sauerkraut (i.e. no one in his right state of mind).
