I wonder if there are any top managers out there who are available, better than Pardew and willing to come and earn about the same as Nile Ranger's on.

I think that's fair enough but I think Stevie made a great point recently about the summer leading to a loss of the momentum. We should never have sacked Hughton tbh

What a fucking tragedy this kid is

Nee room for spider's legs with them like.

Pardew'll be reading this board shitting himself in case CT starts backing him again

He's nee Godfrey Chitalu though.

Great film like.

Assuming that happens will you join the dots and consider that it may be because the owner didn't invest in the squad last summer after the team had qualified for Europe? Or didn't 'back his manager', if you like. Or will it all be down to the manager? Because I actually think a fair few of them might want away because it must have been a kick in the stotts not getting more new recruits after the effort they put in and spirit they showed last season.

It's ridiculous like.

The Fish bustin' his moves in Gotham Town btw :lol:

Does the title remind anyone else of this:

I thought it was absolutely great (and I haven't watched it in years). We'll be lucky if we see another sporting year as good as 2012. I think on balance Bradley Wiggins was a just winner but any one of them would've probably been fair enough.

So fuck? Loads of people die in car crashes. Are you bored or something? Pick a better subect to take the piss out of next time, eh? Or I'll pop a cap in your ass.

Tbf though you are Alf Garnett sans irony.

It's a messageboard, a private members club if you like. Either way, my point was, you don't speak for the views of the board (neither does Ant). It's just your opinion on the bloke. Fair enough, but don't start listing people who agree with you when it's bollocks. You did it with me when I wasn't even posting here (and agreed with the ban for that matter). As you like to say "Why lie?"

It's nee different to you except you on this issue, except he's got more say. Which is fair enough tbh.

Ant put a load of work in here in his own time, pays for the place off his own back and gets constant abuse from Leazes via Twitter. I don't suppose he's that arsed about the latter but it probably gets his goat when people tell him he should unban Leazes. I don't blame him. I think he's a good lad too fwiw.

How so?

The reason you can't be bothered making the comparison is because you either didn't see us very often the season we came 5th under SBR (most likely) or know it doesn't back up the point you were trying to make. And I don't think anyone is claiming that we played great football last season, Certainly not week-in, week-out. It's absolute bollocks to say we were hanging on for dear life in most of those games though (as your post infers). Most of the time we were pretty assured defensively and closed out games with relative comfort.

What's the crack re: photoshopping / touching up of shots etc.?

I'd say we played better last season on the whole than that season we came 5th that you're on about.

Nice pic btw.

Shocking
