Steven Taylor and Colllocini are both crocked after the match.

Those 14 points we still need might take a lot longer than I'd hoped. :thumbdown:

Any "Pardew Out" chants at St James yet?

No, not at all. It's been a shitty month but the Toon Army is waiting to see whether Ashley (a) spends a good slice of the Carroll 35M in January or (b) compounds the problem by flogging off Tiote for another wad.

I see no signs of unrest with Pardew, but a potential rebellion if (b) is what the Fat Cockney Bastard does.

PS Glad to see you still call it SJP. It'll likely be "Yournameherefor10million Stadium" next month.

Pardew is probably safe for this season but a poor start next and that'll be it.

Virgin Money bought Northern Rock from the taxpayer.

I think you're a Manure supporter? So eat shit. Because that's what they were today.

Wild hypothesis.

I hear offers are being sought for the following: Ba, Cabaye, Tiote and Collocini. This is on the basis that the 10 points or so needed for another season in the premier league are achievable without them.

I don't hear that although I follow these things rather closely.

A hostile offer from Manure for Tiote is anticipated and, as I alluded to upthread, might be accepted by the FCB if the FCB wants to piss off all Toon supporters even more than he already has.

There's been speculation that the Pool are interested in Collo, but I'd be surprised if he agreed.

After today's debacle, (see above post) I'd think your lot would be thinking about that too.

Oh, and Toon only need 7 more points. Thanks for being shit.

Picked up a beautiful 1983-84 Spurs replica shirt for £24 at JD Sports in Gatwick earlier this week.

Also the home shirt although the kit this season is pretty drab. We have fancy new Under Armour shirts next season to sport when we are back in the Champions League.

If they add a top class winger and striker to the squad I think Spurs really could push all way.

United have a poor central midfield and Citeh are about to lose the Toure brothers to the African Nations Cup.

Someone from COYS forum is sending me a Spurs programme from the last game. Nice one on the shirt. I quite like this season's kit but would love to go back to the Adidas or the Pony one from ten or so years ago.

I have a great adidas holsten shirt in my collection from 2000. A little warn from 5 aside games.

The pride of my collection is a yellow and blue Pony shirt with "Ginola" and "14" on the back from 1997!

As is Chiek Tiote. Knowing our luck, they'll come back crippled. Oh well.

BTW Newcastle plays Blackburn on Saturday in the Cup. The two titans who have conquered Manure in the last fortnight head to head. Oh my.

There's been speculation that the Pool are interested in Collo, but I'd be surprised if he agreed. Why? Players generally move from smaller clubs to bigger clubs when they're doing well.

I doubt they need as many as seven points. 35 or 36 were good enough in 2008/9 - that's what Hull and Sunderland got.

Ha, expecting a rise there I bet.


Talking shirts, I do have a signed Peter Beardsley Newcastle one.



The mighty Swans are only 17 points from the theoretical finish line, although I agree with the above that perhaps 35 maybe enough this year.

I just think Kenny Dalglish lives in a time warp. Twenty years ago buying young England Under 21 players was a good policy to building a strong team.

English players just don't have the technical ability or the right mentality to be successful these days. Not all of them but most and this really shows itself when we get to major international tournaments.

He's become a pathetic joke and its a bit sad because he's really trashing his reputation and Liverpool's. He's become a laughing stock and he looks like a hobo.

Either that or tacit agreement.

Hopefully this doesn't give the team a boost. We play them at SJP next match.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 
The QPR sacking is a little harsh I feel, Warnock managed to get QPR into the premiership and should of been given the chance to keep them in it, but as a Man utd fan it would be good to see Mark Hughes back in football if he goes for the QPR job.

IIRC, QPR were considering replacing him in the close season immediately after he won promotion. He's been on borrowed time since then.

jaycea Jan 9th 2012 10:06 pm

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 
Looks like Mark Hughes is favourite for the job, with the players they bought in the summer and maybe future investment he should be able to keep them up this season and maybe build on that.
