Argh! Beat me to it.

That's the most sensible thing you've said for weeks.

For all CT's patter about about the really dark days of which I'm not trying to gloss over at all, there's something truly depressing about the state of modern football in general and Ashley's NUFC in particular, quite simply, a manager with Pardew's record defeats/scorelines/cup defeats/derby record would've been binned long, long ago. Ultimately he's the biggest, but not only, symptom of the man slowly suffocating the life out of this club, Mike Ashley.

'Glasgie Sellick, boy, the biggest club in Alderwiereld, ahm telling ya.'

It's getting that way with me, never thought, sorry, fawt I'd say it. (JFK doesn't count as a manager. As I've said before, he was just a practical joke that got out of hand).

Good luck to you, Chez, I enjoy reading your travel tales and patter in general but sometimes think we need an alternative Chez who stayed in North Tyneside and is basically a harry Bamp plonky from the Ridges.

We're having some research problems today on toontastic.

The crowd again, eh?

"Be you Leon Best?" "No we're the........ NUFC coaching team!!!!!"

Blatantly posted this from the flats down by Percy Main Metro in his hondacrackas and Kestrel super strength beer stains on his bedsheets.

It's all about YOU isn't it, you heartless bastard.

Aye, I've been glued to SSN all through this window, like.

All?

He's a tough cookie to please, is MT. "I'm nearly finished with the Brondby connection research. Won't be long, babes, just put my dinner in the oven. Love you. Bye.......bye."

I've just been a bit busy to post as much, sorry.

A win would really have papered over the cracks, mind. Too much to ask for coming back from a losing position. Noticed Ashley in the crowd, can Pards dedicate this draw to him, please?

To be fair they don't deserve to lose.

Joke.

Fucking get in! Aarons has been the difference.

Off a corner!!!! Pleased for Aarons.

Pre-season my main hopes signing wise were on De Jong. Cabella not so much. I haven't been impressed either and I'm aware of Ben Arfa's weaknesses as well as his skills.

'New manager effect' he's already put his excuse in pre-game on the radio.

Which is definitely 'no better'.

It's early to say but he's no better than Ben Arfa at present.

Two goals in 45 mins? Are we capable? Can we come back and win? Three hopes, Bob Hope, Westerhope and no hope I reckon.
