Nolan, Barton, Keegan, Rafa etc And yet this season we signed three experienced PL players. Link to post Share on other sites

Ugly Mackems 63 Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 6 hours ago, Monkeys Fist said: Sacking Hughton was my “fuck this” moment. If it hadn’t been clear enough before, their treatment of him, and replacement by Pardew before his chair was cold, made it blindingly obvious to me that they were a bunch of venal cunts who weren’t worth my money. My mate worked on T5 Heathrow extension (or was it Olympic Pak?) and was working with Pardews brother who was asking him if he supported the Toon. He told him that his brother was bang on to be the next manager as he'd already been in talks with the Toon. My mate phoned and told me but I never believed it would happen. He insisted he was serious. I remember posting it on N.O. at the time he would be our next manager a good few weeks before it happened. Link to post Share on other sites

Kid Dynamite 1,459 Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 Sounds like the takeover is edging closer. What odds would you get on it being agreed by the premier league, only for fat heed to get us relegated and the Saudi's pull out of the deal Link to post Share on other sites

David Kelly 524 Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 I've honestly thought that passing the ball to the opposition has been a key tactic of Bruce's since he's been here so this could actually be a game changer if they manage to do it. If he could continue this to the natural progression of pass it forward to your team mates rather than backwards, we could be in business. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
