Aye you just fill a form in online, it might charge for it now (been a while since I done it) but it lasts for 3 year. https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/esta/ That's the site for it iirc. Then like Gemmill says you fill some stuff in on the plane, I think it's the I-90 where you fill in where you will be staying and stuff and then a customs declaration form. All simple stuff, thanks to the Visa Waiver.

Is that article really implying he'd be the Cabaye replacement fucking hell.

Aye that's about the only thing it can be. Just hope they stay down there this time tbh.

Aye, there's a very good chance they'll hold onto Barry (unless Martinez has an improvement lined up). Delofeu and Lukaku will be tough to hold onto due to the former's desire to stay at Barca and the latter's pricetag, but like Ewerk says the CL will make them far more attractive and Martinez's system will also be a draw as it makes good footballers shine. They sold Fellaini but brought in McCarthy who was far cheaper and fits Martinez's system really well, whereas our plums sold Cabaye then had a look for a player that is a replica of him after we sold him. We don't really have a system under this nob, we just seemed to rely on Cabaye's ability to make things work and now without him we look lost. That's what worries me the most about Pardew, players like Sissoko and Anita clearly are talented lads and we see brief flashes of it but they look fucking abysmal and completely clueless at the moment. The production Laudrup got out of players like Routledge shows the value of having a system, we just look to be taking the field without any direction and tbh we even looked that way a lot when we were doing better earlier in the season.

Aye if they genuinely think they can buy 1 or 2 and survive the drop they're even more inept than I thought possible. I can't see how anyone could sit and watch the rabble at the minute getting hammered every week and think they only need 1 or 2 to turn it around. Messi would struggle with this bunch of fucking losers. We need 2 strikers, at least 1 centre back, a full back (2 if debuchy leaves) a creative central midfielder and probably a winger as well. Of course we won't get anywhere near to that but to sit and say 1-2 they're having a laugh.

See Bruce is still getting a fair amount of the blame, saying he signed most the shit they're lumbered with and therefore is to blame. Seems harsh tbh it's been a fair while since he was there and they've signed a lot of players since he left.

He could do a job here like.

Agreed, that's a more accurate picture. Kenwright has a genuine love for the team and wants to watch good football and have the team push for Europe, whereas Ashley is mostly concerned with simply staying in the league. We really need a manager with a good system and picks players to go into that system and as a result gets more out of them. It seemed like Pardew had that early on when he seemed to be able to rely on his defence, condense the field and get more out of players like Perch and Obertan (mainly during that 11 game unbeaten run), but unfortunately that's clearly fell apart.

Reinforces my other point then, and shows the impact a good manager has. I was also meaning more they're happy to work to improve their side most windows even if they aren't spending much. Whereas our lot have tended to be happy with the side and tried to go without signing anyone.

Yup, his spinelessness has translated to the team.

Embarrassing, so it really shows he's completely incapable of forming a system. He just benefits from the rush of excitement and adrenaline that comes from lads coming to a new club. He's a fraud, I know people keep saying it makes no difference if he goes but it fucking does, the stat Tooj posted about him suffering 19 losses by 3 or more goals compared to 35 since 1993 shows he's a disgrace. How many times have we won comfortably against 11 men this season? or the whole time he's been in charge? even when we had that amazing run with Ba, Cabaye etc we still only won most games by 1 goal. He's simply one of the worst managers in the league, stats like yours and Tooj's show that. I don't even care if the replacement is only marginally better I can't stand this bloke anymore, his teams simply roll over and take their hidings, we rarely stand up to the bigger sides or in form sides we just curl up. We're incapable of come backs, It's been a long time since we've seen a Newcastle side that look so beaten when they go a goal down.

As long as he was bollocking the entire team for being an embarrassment that's fine, but to single a lad you've brought on as a sub for that is a joke tbh. Fed up of the lot of them atm.

Martinez has them playing brilliant stuff, the ball in from Baines for the first goal was top class. That Barkley is going to be one hell of a player if he keeps this rate of development up, he's already running most games for them. Shows what you can do on a tight budget if you have a good manager and back the team when it needs to be backed...

If he worked as hard on his actual job we'd be top four.

Aye that's it like, we're being humiliated week in week out. He has no tactical sense most the time, his team choices are shite and the bloke is a dickhead. I know getting a new manager in wouldn't solve much but at least we might reduce the number of 3+ goal kickings we get and maybe watch a team that tried to go forward with some cohesion as opposed to one that's basically terrified of conceding (and ends up conceding shit loads anyway). Our goal difference is always shit under this bloke, even the year we come 5th it was what? +5? Because when we win we rarely do it by a comfortable margin and we often lose by two or more when we lose. Plus suffered embarrassing losses to some dreadful mackem sides under him.

Mackems need 7points from their 3 games in hand to go equal on points with Norwich, they're fucked tbh.

Someone might score an own goal like.

We move the ball far too slowly, when we switch it it takes numerous passes or is floated over, the defence just calmly shifts to that side.

Another 3+ goal loss, fucking embarrassing. License to print money betting against us at the minute.

That Fellaini is absolutely shocking mind would fit right in with our lot.

I'd rather see us play a youngster than Dan Gosling. Surely there's a kid in the youth teams better than him, apart from Bigi who I'm assuming is still injured. If Bigirimana isn't injured then what the fuck is Pardew thinking?

We'll sign Darren Bent for fuck all and De Jong, Pardew will praise Ashley for bringing in experience and talent, and we'll be shite.

Agreed, we've already beaten them at Old Trafford as well. I know we've got injuries but that doesn't mean it's ok for Pardew to say "ahh fawwwk it" and roll over and take a 0-4 pounding, which he seems to be setting us all up for. Come 5 o'clock Saturday it'll be "the boys worked 'ard, we'wve been struggaahlin wiff injahhwies so I caaahnt ask for much mowaaah fwom the laahds" after a 0-4 hammering.

What an embarrassment this bloke is, basically comes out every week talking about how hard we're going to find it. If our players weren't motivated and are looking to the summer how come the Southampton players were? Useless prick. The bit about it being a World Cup year man, as if any of them have seemed worthy of a place since new year. They should be motivated by that, not playing shit because they're distracted by it. I can't wait till we're shot of this wanker, never known a manager to come out and be on the verge of saying we're going to lose most weeks.

But he doesn't get to embarrass Dan Gosling in training everyday.
