Worst manager in the league tbh. Total wanker as well.

"If Mourinho lights up a room, Guardiola draws the curtains." quality. Ibrahimovic is possibly one of the few people that can sort of pull off talking about himself in the 3rd person in all.

Honestly it's 19 year away just change the location of it ffs . Having it in November would be a disaster, I thought they were planning on doing it around the time France and a few other leagues have their winter break. Pointless really.

Spot on Fish, look at the quality of players the city fans watch every week it'd be brilliant tbh.

Sounds canny this thing like Gemmill. What the craic with this instruction page? I downloaded the xbmc to my laptop and after messing about for an hour with it I got no further might have to check this raspberry thing out

I'm not sure who these old fashioned blokes that didn't discuss the match a day or so after it happened are. It's always been the first topic of choice for blokes in this area. As for the dig at us 20's lot, it's hardly our fault we were born in a good period for NUFC I like many would have followed us regardless.

How do you know he didn't? He could have given lists of players to Kinnear who might have pulled the same move he did with Douglas and want to see the players himself. We're set up now to not spend in the summer and then react to trouble in January by bringing in some players if we need it.

Honestly man I don't know whether to laugh or cry. So there was no one in world football available that would have improved our front line within our financial means? surely we could have scrimped for Lukaku on loan. Like everyone has said it's clear as day this isn't Pardew's own words, it's just all so pathetic. Teams that were recently League one sides are now better than us and have more ambition than us. Swansea's owner is worth under £200m iirc, and their attendances are dwarfed by ours, I'm sure their merchandise sales are hammered by ours as well, yet they can afford to buy players like Bony and we cant? they honestly think the fans will buy this tripe, or (more likely) they just don't give a shite about us.

Hope so, just a bit worrying if he's our big prospect.

So he can't get a game for Carlisle, how old is this kid? 18, 19? he wont make it for us tbh.

I'd rather us just focus on players that are staying for the foreseeable future tbh, even if Cabaye stays for now he'll be off soon. I doubt the players are all too chuffed with him in all mind.

Carr is doing a good job, it's hardly his fault he's had targets not bought. He identified that Aubemeyang a while ago iirc, we didn't move on him Dortmund then got interested and we lost our chance, Douglas deal was cancelled by our world class DoF. There's probably many more, we lost out on Remy and he had Gouffran as a second target.

Aye this is it like, if I was playing for say Bordeaux and Paris came in for me and offered to double my wages I'd be gone straight away. This lad has no attachment to Newcastle, same as the rest of them do people really think if Chelsea come in for basically any of our players and offered to double their wages they wouldn't be gone. Like Ant says we did it to West Ham and Chelsea did it to us, just the way modern football is now. We can have the attitude of letting him rot at Chelsea but sooner or later someone else will come in for him and he'll be scoring goals for them, we have nothing up front and the bloke is class.

That's it really we look completely inept up front whereas Ba can literally score out of nothing, Cisse did the same his first half season but whereas that's stopped Ba can do it pretty consistently. I'd not worry about the relegation spots if Ba was playing for us.

Aye he had potential, but unfortunately he's a complete and utter knacker. You'd think it must have clicked for him after spending 5 month without a club and then ending up where he is now.

I'd love Ba back tbh, the blokes finishing ability is among the best in the league. I like Shane Long in all, hopefully we can sign someone permanently mind or we're back to square one again next season.

Focusing on the league again no doubt, I just wish we'd give one of the cups a go for a change rather than focusing on finishing 16th.

The whole McCarthy bid has a similar feeling to the N'Zogbia bid after Carroll left, not as late in the window but Whelan is very opposed to selling to us.

Cant see the other players really wanting to play alongside him anyway, as (if the refusing to play rumours are true) well as being disrespectful to the club and fans he's also insulting the other players. Starting to worry this sort of thing will become more common place with the utter embarrassing lack of ambition we've shown this summer.

That were welded together and stuck on a wall, I thought they were taking the piss when I saw them doing that on the news.

Aye I believe it like, relied too much on the stuff. I'll always remember the Portsmouth game when he was sat up the Milburn stand with his TV's and we went 3 down, prompting him to get up and start walking down to the dugout, the abuse he got on that walk .

Aye, the amount of money that legion of sports scientists and all that equipment must have cost the club. I've nowt against that side of football but the degree to what he did it was a joke.

Aye, from what I remember we'd all pretty much given up hope of getting rid of him and everyone was just getting behind the side no matter how utterly mind numbingly bad the football being served up was then Ashley chucked him. Had nothing to do with our expectations, as far as I remember they were at rock bottom as most people hated Allardyce. He couldn't make the step up from Bolton and his football is abysmal to watch, needs to stop blaming others for his failings. Really hope we win today, I hate this bloke.
