Howay

Tim Krul's hair btw It hasn't changed but it's always worth a laugh.

After a tussle with wor john over bottle-gate?

I'd like to think so but Sociedad seem to be offering good money, rumours of them offering Ings 60k a week. Our 12k a week offer that's inevitable will look canny shit comparatively. Not saying we should offer Sammy mental money btw, just shows how fucking boneheaded letting his contract tick away is as they'd give him 500k a year more than us over a 4 year deal and it's effectively like buying a 2m player for them.

Cabella dropped after looking like our best player since he has been back in the side and Anita doesn't even deserve a spot on the bench the way he has been playing let alone fucking starting. Probably dropped Cabella and picked Gouffran on the old myth that Gouffran is a better defender but on recent evidence Cabella is better at that side of the game too.

I just don't get this club. They bang on about how they want youth coming through and he's been good enough to get runs in the side over the last couple of season and they're just letting his contract run down. It would be hard to replace him with the shite compo they'd get so it's just bizzare.

Thank fuck he has went to Villa, I really fucking hope they go down the beige cunts.

:lol Aye, if he has turned it around doesn't that mean we were doing fucking crap before? Or are they meaning he turned it round since losing his first 3 in a row to an almighty 1 win?

I saw an interview with the 3 main lads and they were talking about the episode where DeVito was stuck naked in a spring in a kids play park. They reckon he said he'd only do it if he got to actually be naked and if Charlie Day was the one that pulled the Y-fronts on him .

Aye it's class, the fact they're all mates just having a laugh as TRS said helps. Mac getting fat for a season just because they thought it would be hilarious rather than needing it for the plot being a good example . Danny De Vito is the topping on the cake the mental bastard.

Hope you're right Parky, a full season under this bloke would be grim.

Aye this whole charm offensive I guess they're attempting is a good indication of that. "Carver is qualified we promise" despite the fact he's fucking useless. They're welcome to give the potato headed lug a full season it'll just end up costing them fucking millions in the inevitable relegation though, so saving the million quid or so on a capable replacements wages will end up not being worth it for lard arse and his rent boy Charnley.

What a complete prick

Probably just be a no show again the fucking useless prick.

Think we all saw this coming, how depressingly inevitable.

Better call Saul seems canny the first few episodes btw.

Fucking class. "Ah had to laugh, like, Big Andy Carroll said it with fists to my singing black and white canary, Stevie Taylor, but young Cameron was being a bit more subtle using yours truly for revenge"

What a cock end man, he should shut his fucking mouth. I'm sick of these cunts telling the fans to get behind the side, the fans of this team have managed well over 45k attendances the entire Ashley reign which is completely undeserved from the ambition being shown by the ownership. The only way fans can show their displeasure is by chanting things like "are you Pardew in disguise" and that chant was completely warranted, he tried the same gutless approach his former boss regularly used, he was also present for most of Pardew's reign and is just as culpable as Pardew in the whole being a total wanker stakes. The bloke is unqualified for his position.

Fucking football man, must have been about 19!

He must have been on decent money before this contract anyway, his transfer fee was mental and iirc someone on here spotted him in a Lamborghini a few year back.

I agreed to watch it as I thought at least I could look at Megan Fox but it was fucking horrific, turned it off around the time she starts giving the bullshit backstory about how they were her pets. Watched that new Chris Rock film Top Five, thought it was canny tbh. I guess it's a similar theme to the Birdman one of an actor in an identity crisis but I enjoyed it far more, as Rock was good and anything with Tracy Morgan in is worth a laugh. Wee Bey Brice was also in it for a bit for the Wire fans.

It's just hard because teams like Chelsea can field their 'back ups' with blokes like Schrulle etc and it's seen as fine because those type of players would walk into the starting 11's of 75% of the league, yet when a team like Villa play their back ups it's fielding a weakened side because it's judged as putting out a side that's below Prem standard. I just think it should be up to the manager tbh, once the competition starts getting to the later rounds people will start taking it more seriously anyway (mind Arsenal played all their kids a few year ago all the way up to the final or semi final iirc and got praised for it because their kids are good but tbh it's still fielding a weakened side). I think it's also a bit harsh on the lads who get a chance to play in the cup and are normally back ups as it's like the FA coming and saying they're a bit shit.

Aye, it's a fucking crease tbh. I love that no matter how shit we seem to be they always manage to do worse, during the season we were in the championship they were fucking rank then we got promoted and give them a kicking. A population completely stuck in the 1980's fashion wise, I always imagine the average mackem to have that orange wotsit dust around their mouth, fingertips and the collar of their Sunderland top (a Reg Vardy 'classic' of course). Along with a nice pair of ill fitting jeans and some black reebok classics. This is how I always imagine that Daddyscock fella that pops on here now and again as he batters the keyboard in the Pennywell community library. They have to watch utter bilge like Vergini, Brown, Bridcutt and co. Their desperation shows when they try to cling to fucking anything, like when Altidore come along they welcomed any Americans onto the board with glee, before they all realized that Altidore isn't a footballer and the Americans began to make (albeit ridiculous) claims that Altidore needed to be at a better club . It's also funny as fuck how they cling on to Feyenoord in all since their fans don't like us either due to a few kickings we gave them in Europe. Like you say, we have this awful stewardship at the moment and it's depressing but the list of horrible stuff we can aim at the tramps down the road is staggering compared to what they can come up with about us (normally it's pretty limited to being deluded, expecting too much, no one else likes them either etc). I really hope we beat them in this coming derby and Carver does a big knee slide like that plonker Di Canio did, they'd lose their fucking minds if that happened .

Aye it's another one of their daft myths, they've had tonnes of managers in recent years as well. They really are a fucking woeful side like, they completely deserve to go down due to how utterly shit they have been for years now just scraping survival each year. Like Alex says I fully expect the useless cunts to somehow manage another win over us, it's the one thing I'd hope Carver could get them up for but tbh the knacker has been here all along and we've took twatting off them recently.

I'm not either, it's just nice to have a chance for a change rather than an indefinate future under Alan Pardew. Of course it could be Carver but tbh that's no worse than an indefinate future under Pardew for me as it shows the same sort of ambition and probably a somewhat similar brand/quality of football.

Aye that season we come 5th was the combination of a lot of fortunate things coming together. We went a full season with very few injuries, Cabaye and Tiote were utterly class together and Ba was scoring at a nigh on unsustainable rate, which ended just in time for Cisse to come in and start scoring at an unsustainable rate. I do give Pardew credit for that season as he was definitely part of it but we never really dominated many teams that year, we hung on to 1 goal leads more often then not. Iirc it was also an odd season with Chelsea and Liverpool being pretty shit. I agree with HF in that not many can really do much worse than Pardew did, even though we all want more investment he had been given squads that should have played to a higher standard than they did (the season they come 5th aside), we went on historic losing streaks and took thumping after thumping. He regularly held players back, Cabella is a clear example he has been our best player since being brought back into the fold, Pardew fans can claim that dropping him from the side prompted him to work harder but that's a stretch imo as I don't think Pardew would have been giving him the game time Carver has been anyway. We also never really got to see the lad play too much before he was dropped and made only cameo appearances. The coaching staff at this club is a joke, the shite amount of chances we create is a marker of that, we've relied on players going through hot streaks rather than getting consistently decent performances out of them. Carver is wank no doubt but I'm still glad Pardew is gone, at least it gives the hope that we might see a decent coach come in (of course there is always the chance it'll just be Carver but tbh we'd mostly all given up hope with Pardew anyway so it's not like much would change in that respect). Perhaps they wont do a great deal better position wise (maybe hovering just below Euro spots) but we might actually enjoy watching football games which is something that has been a real rarity under the Pardew/Carver reign.
