Christmas Tree

That's a shock. You two being all for it. So a bloke that gets 18 goals two seasons ago in the 2nd division, gets 12 last year in the PL and a player who was one of, if not the best captains I've seen in my lifetime at the club is sold. A player with 2 years still on his contract who absolutely did not need to be sold, regardless of any unwillingness to give him another contract, he was here and he plays/ed a massive part in the new work ethic to our players. There's no other way of looking at this without shaking your head. He didn't have to be sold. Absolutely pathetic decision, in fact, the best I could possibly say if I was one of the fucking jokers who, rain or shine, blow smoke out of the regimes arse no matter what, is that it's a gamble that could pay off. It's a totally unnecessary gamble but there you go. Being a supporter though I just look at an influential player being sold when he shouldn't have been. Pathetic decision. I agree I would rather he was still around (although its looking likely he wouldnt be in the starting 11), but re him not having to be sold, if it frees up that 40 or 50 grand a week for a new first teamer then it makes sense. Sadly.

Nolan was no longer any use as Captain. He cant speak French

The pure joy that is the ignore button. Good old Leazes melting his keyboard with no doubt negative post after negative post. Shame he wasnt so active in the Cabaye thread. Sad old man.

Very surprised by Bartons silence on this, given he must have known about it for a good while. Im sure a tirade will be forthcoming at some point.

Wonder if this paves the way for Craig Gardener.

Munch, Munch, Munch

Confirmed by Justin Lockwood.

Quite surprised there's been no whispers / stories about Jonas on the move.

Saw this elsewhere for perusal.....

Thread title could do with a change.

Alan Pardew on a European mission to keep NUFC stars

As I see some of the BINGO mongs hovering at the bottom of the page, I think I'll go for a cuppa.

See my opinion, right or wrong (time will tell), is based on my opinion of the bloke having met him on several occasions. I think he is to aloof, in the way Roy Keane was and consider this opinion backed up by some of the things players have said about him. Regardless of whether it is right or wrong, its an opinion based on considered opinion. The majority on here are basing their opinion on the fact he was a great number 9. and nothing else. They have nothing to back up why he should be a good manager. Thomas still has Shearer Jim Jams so thats a bit understandable, but the rest are just clueless. IMO.

Sleep tight, watch the bed bugs dont bite.

Based on what though? Kean's failed at Sunderland and Ipswich. Shearer had 8 games at NUFC when they were all but relegated. How can you compare the two, unless you've worked with Shearer and know him well? Even then, he hasn't had a proper run at the job, so it would be prejudicial to draw any conclusions about his character. Plus you're ruling out the possibility he's smart enough to learn and adapt. I don't think you've thought this one through. I think its an opinion. Given theres a 50% chance of one of us being right, I aint losing any sleep over the sheep, Ba'iiiiinnnnngggggg Wasn't it Rodney Marsh who said "Yes, the game is all about opinions, except yours is shit"? Usually an opinion has some basis in fact. I think what you're talking about is a gut feel? Why is your opinion any more right than mine??????

If Im on ignore, how do you know Im not right :lol: ;) ;) :icon_lol: ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) Once a month stalker. For gods sake, man up and lay down some opinions of your own for once. ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)

You'll never get up for school at this rate Thomas.

Says the boring cunt who gave up supporting the toon many many moons ago. Stick to watching athletes at the gym. "If I say 'the toon' it'll make me look authentic" - He knows the slang name and everyfink. Give up the charade man, it's genuinely embarrassing watching you try and cobble together football patter from the sports pages of tabloids. Taxi driver patter is no good on a message board when you have to come back every day - your fictional "My history as a Newcastle fan" story will work on a 10 minute journey, but it gets put to greater scrutiny on here, and you've embarrassed yourself. I've more or less given up on the club tbf, you're right about that. But you've never even started supporting them. Says it all really......Trot on. At least I'm honest about it, and I had a seat and a financial investment in the club to give up. Fact remains you're a once a season daytripper who, in his 40s and with three children, makes stories up about his past as a fan. Keep trotting........ You even declined a free ticket off Alex so you could paint your hall..... Trot, Trot, Trot!

Keep them coming, eventually you'll strike gold like this cracker......

You aren't being clear, you are saying stupid things and you aren't backing them up. Answer the questions and don't deflect. Explain yourself. Come on you've been going to football games for ''years''. 3 Sentences. Fill them in. or can't you substantiate your own opinion? Dont forget your pull ups.

Bedtime Thomas.

Its hard to be any clearer really, he's Roy Keane two.
