The sad truth is that Ramsey wouldn't have reached his potential with our youth coaching set up. He'd be playing for scunthorpe or rotherham now not England.

I'm glad we're not signing Remy because of his bad attitude. There was me thinking he'd got better offers from CL clubs....

He's quite short isn't he?

I doubt we'll sign him. It's contrary to our transfer policy and doesn't make commercial sense unless it's a free transfer and pay for play deal. Probably just his agent trying to create interest.

Sounds like a jpb for jonas. Like signing a new player...

That makes no sense at all. Why would we care about bournemouth? He was always leaving on a free cos his contract expired at the end of the season

Doesn't tackle back. I sense Pardew may have an issue with that…..

Satan would be a better career option….

Yes. And aren't we overdue for the first signing? Must be loads on the way if we're wrapping up our business by the WC....Townsend will be the first of a veritable TORRENT

Lol no chance

Good piece from rob lee in the daily mail about the clubs lack of ambition. Spot on imo

I do wonder about why people would turn out on cold wednesday night to watch our B team get shafted by a League 1 side. I don't think we're alone in playing our B team in cup matches btw. It's just that ours is dog shit due to the perennial underfunding of the squad.

If they needed to spend more than 5 million to win the league cup and maintain the status quo in the league, then it wouldn't make any sense to the arseholes in charge

I think their philosopy makes sense if you bear in mind their aim is to spend as little on players as possible and make as much money as they can for the minimum outlay. The cups and europa dont earn enough by way of revenue unless you get to the final stages and you risk your players getting injured along the way. You cant afford injury because you've invested less than the bare minimum to get through the season, winning just enough games to stay clear of relegation. Which is the objective cos its where the TV money and audience for mikes SD advertising are. So theres no point competing for cups when youre not prepared to invest the money in a deep enough squad to carry you through the extra games. Thats only for clubs owned by sovereign states apparently. Or clubs that care about their fans hopes and dreams. We're basically acting like a cash strapped small town club, when plainly we have the resources to buy the players needed. Its a deliberate business decision not a footballing one.....but then we're not a football club, we're just one of mikes businesses. Any sort of success isn't worth the cost....when they say it has to wipe its nose, I think they mean make lots of money for mike

Puts a new light on Rolf's catchphrase "can you guess what it is yet?"

It's the bare faced brazenness that gets me. We have absolutely no intention of competing for anything, and fuck anyone who doesn't want shell out a fortune for shit football served up by our reginald prior like manager. They have such contempt for the fans. Institutionalised mediocrity and a cash cow. I hoped for more tbh.

Theres no point to mike ashley's nufc. Not for the fans anyway.

We was up against the sovereign state of Burnley, we never stood a facking chance

Over the line How I've come to hate that expression

Pardew reckons we only need 2 or 3 players in iirc Comical Alan

Or a peppered squid salad

I cant imagine who'd be interested in Obertan tbh

Lets hope they tackle back, eh

7 defeats out of 8 matches. Pardew must suck a mean cock...
