Just looked at the table and noticed Mackems final resting position of 13th. I thought they were like 10th or summit.
So we were crap basically…….. good stuff though statto
In response to troys ‘world changing events’ it doesnt have to be a bad thing…. we are all so negative
We don’t look as bad in the stats as the score-line suggested, reckon 2-1 to Everton would have been a fairer score.
“Come in Agent Bruce, do you read me? We have a new assignment. Codename: Operation Fuck Villa… Over.”
God just when i finish reading and make a comment on previous thread a new ones up
Statto ,brilliant as ever .My god did we really have 11 attempts and just edge the possession ,bugger me .
That must of been our 2nd half effort that bumped that up.
Off topic but, Joey Barton you complete and utter c**T , (not ladylike lads I know ) but noone disses Big Al .
Hitman @5 -Oh yeah
How many matches did the scum win of their last 10



would that be something like NONE
Looks like Agent Bruces stats were better than MON’s
13th
LALAS
sorry my bad.
To be fair and acurate to the dorty unwashed, they have won 2 out of their last 15 matches.
BB…and apparently MoN is a much better manager than Pards and only Cisse from our team would get in theirs…I’m struggling to figure out how that works, what with us finishing 20 points ahead of them, possibly because we didn’t play anyone maybe?
aye Richie, and while I’m still borsting me sides, how about this:
In the five yrs since they were last promoted, they have finished
15th – 39 points
16th – 36 points
13th – 44 points
10th – 47 points
13th – 45 points
Perenial no hopers and over due a relegation me thinks
Now I must go and wash my hands and clean my teeth.
Right then, on the article, why is there no stat for fouls/freekicks.
would probably read 0/8 or something.
seriously poor and wasteful of good attacking opportunities.
Needs sorting
Interesting article about Luuk De Jong
http://blogs.bettor.com/FC-Twentes-Luuk-de-Jong-I-will-think-about-moving-away-from-De-Grolsch-Veste-a153765
BB,
Never bother putting fouls on – but can do!
Everton committed 18 fouls, NUFC 16.
Statto
What has happened to Ba? He has been playing poorly since returning from the ACON. His touch and general play has been awful. I don’t think you can blame the arrival of Cisse for that.
Cheers statto.
And from those 18 free kicks we probably created diddley squat, which was my point really.
B&B – he’s never been right since he missed that pen
Hatem Ben Arfa officiel
Just arrived in Paris..i miss already Newcastle / Je viens d’arriver a Paris, Newcastle me mank déjà
Barton charged with 2 acts of violent conduct
Susan
Was that on his site?
Andy, I hit the ‘like on fb’ button on his site and now I get fb updates
Susan
Someone’s got a crush on la Hatem
You’ve liked his FB page
And for once its not me
Andy, he actually my favourite….. though Coloccini has something of the roman god about him and Marv is mesmerisingly graceful…. oh geez I like most of them
Susan
What about Yohan ‘Dreamboat kiddie basher’ Cabaye?
Thought the first half underlined some of our weaknesses. Willo is not a starting CB. Let’s hope Saylor has a healthy season to come and that we strengthen at the CB position. Perch is not a starter either, and I would prefer someone better than Simpson at RB as well. Moyes set them up well to beat us. Our midfield never really got going until the second half. We need a bigger attacking CM for good teams especially for away games. I hope Marveaux stays healthy as well so we can have a good look at him next season. Thought Jonas looked out of gas after a tough season for him. Disappointing finish but the season was excellent. Give Pards some money Ashley! We will play a lot more games next season and several players are due to leave.
I though Moyes neutralized the attacking threat of Hatem very effectively as well. They surrounded him and prevented any dangerous attacks through the middle. Have to agree with B&B @15 Ba has been very disappointing since ACoN. Cisse doesn’t provide a good partner for him, whereas Cabaye seemed to understand Cisse’s movement right from their first match together. If we could get 20 M or more for Ba it would be worth selling him to get a bigger attacking CM and a great CB.
Andy, he has the typical GQ good looks, but for me HBA and Colo are hotter
OK I gotta go before we go any further with this topic
We were woeful all game. The same lacklustre performance as at Wigan.
I’m a big Barfa fan but if he wants to be up there with Beardo then he needs to graft harder.
I’m not singling him out as they all lacked the fight.
I don’t know why they lacked the bite and hunger to fight for every ball but they did.
Abysmal performance.
Troy so what’s the general jist of this huge event?
Troy – I think the Frenchy’s had their minds set on not getting injured for the euros. Only playing at 75%. Dammned disgrace, considering who pays their wages.
Troy
Looks better than wor beardo though
Witters man you should know better than to ask ffs
nowt wrong with the dopey look
BB
Wasn’t thinking that, but it makes sense. Not the best, probably why Marvauew looked better as he wants to show what he can do, whereas benny and yohan have already proved they are ‘worthy’ of a place in the French team.
Henry Winter @HenryWimter
@nufcfans Toon sources are reporting that Mike Ashley is allegedly trying to hire Niall Quinn as the NUFC Director of football
BB…I would have thought Troy would be able to divulge some information, after all his credibility is on the line here, I mean if I came out with such a bold statement I’d at least share the impacted area I.e. transfer related, ownership related
TROY aye they all seemed to lack fire in the belly,maybe except marv but he was only on a short time
Hitman
But I would still rather we had Derek.
Whats wrong with LLambias? Actually don’t answer that
On a different note
I was just thinking that Williamson may not have scored for us but I wonder how many times a shot has been deflected of him past Krul?
Im wondering if Troy was talking about a new director of football
HITMAN a right wind up imo m8
aye ice. but henry winter is a top journo
Hitman
Great wind up that.
3rd kit
http://twitter.com/#!/kentonmags/status/202086591185952768/photo/1
Hitman
So the 3rd kit is blue, Hazard must be coming to us
Why do we even have a 3rd kit? What are the chances of the team that we’re playing away wearing maroon/red(whatever) and the ref wearing black ‘n white, or vice versa?
I have heard little more than there is going to be big news regarding the toon this week and it’s involved a huge bust up between Ashley and Pards.
Again, don’t get over excited as sources do let us down. I’m assured it will break this week.
If it doesn’t then I expect flak and I am happy to take it.
I’ve been let down before, it might happen again.
Who knows? But I know no more than that.
carnt see that being true troy
Troy
Not even Ashley is as suicidal as to fire Pardew. Guess we’ll see. Do you know around what time of the week it’ll be revealed?
Pardew to Villa
Director of Football? We’e been down this path before. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it….
mybe the 2 storys are connected
Surely Quim wouldn’t take on such a job anyhoo, so a non story as far as I’m concerned.
Not sure we need a director of football either. To do what exactly
Aah divnt knar, worreva next.
Troy,
I can confirm that what you said was circulating around my workplace
today regarding a major bust up between Pardiola and Ashley/Lamearse.
Possibly to do with outgoing transfers.
News expected to break later this week.
Hitman- was that a wind-up or is that an actual tweet from Winter?
Can’t even think Ashley would hire a guy who has given this quote:
“I learned my trade at Arsenal, became a footballer at Manchester City, but Sunderland got under my skin. I love Sunderland.”
(Granted, Sunderland got under my skin too, it just produces an emotion different than “love”)
a huge bust up between AP and the board would be out by now.
virtually impossible to keep these things under wraps for long.
gutter press would be all over it like a rash.
Nah I cant believe it. Gotta be a wind up
TGS – whats your workplace like
Hope the c@nt Lambsarse is out on his ear that would be a very good move
any bust up is more likely to do with transfers
ie we’ve gotta sell to buy, no capital outlay etc
I would understand Pardew being upset about that, especially with so many out of contract players leaving.
where now for guthrie and best now villa have sacked the boss?
Perhaps its because all the club bonuses are to be payed in Sports Direct shares and not cash.
“Sell to buy” has been the club’s policy for a couple of years now. Not sure why that would be a suprise to anyone, much less Pards
Ice- I could see Guthrie going to one of the newly promoted squads and Besty in the Championship
Ice
Guthrie could go to reading, Best to Celtic?
That would also explain the lacklustre performance against Everton too
aye it was from him but the fka has removed it along with bruce having interview the morra for the villa job
Irish players seem to do well in the SPL and usually get picked for the national team as a result.
aye celtic did try to get best in jan,swap deal with hooper maybe lol
Rumours under starters orders…..and they’re off
Ice
Not a bad idea, £2/3m + Best would do it.
Aye richie. So dissappointed with yesterday that i forgot that today marks the official start of silly season
RICHIE it will be that dave he always sets things off
That insipid strip inspired an insipid performance. It is absolutely dreadful. It is known that the colour of a strip can have a psychological effect manifesting itself in performance. Who comes up with the livery for these things?
B&B – So how come the yellow one, yellow being the colour of cowardice, was actually quite successful?
And why are people looking for tenuous reason as to why were shit?
I have one, how about an off day?
I have one, how about an off day?
————————
Or, how about the fact that we played a very good, in-form club at their home ground?
Ice remember I said last night that from today we have to do without footie plus we will have tonnes of stories coming outta the woodwork
MDS – Aye,or that one
I see Barton is up for a 15 game ban at the start of the season
Just saw the Cabaye ball boy incident, don’t know why such a big deal was made. Yes Cabaye was a bit rude snatching it from the ball boy, but he didn’t push him and he put his hand up in apology to the boy as he saw him stumble. Also he went and officially apologised, so no action should be taken against him as has been suggested by some.
Most of the rumours about this are saying theres a meeting with Pardew and Lambias in Newcastle today but he’s down in London at the LMA awards today! I don’t think theres anything to this apart from some naughty sh*t stirring.
Fingers crossed anyway. Any sort of bust up now would be devastating to our progress!
Has 15 games been announced toonsy? If so thats more than I expected but he deserves it, if not more.
I see Barton is up for a 15 game ban at the start of the season
——————-
Surely he has some sort of conduct clause in his contract? If so, it will be interesting to see how that plays out. I’m sure QPR would get rid if they could.
@77. At least we’ll have the Euros to talk about. I know a lot of people say now that they don’t care about the euros, but once it starts, we know everyone here will be watching….
Just been checking Barton’s twitter account.
Gary Lineker was slagging off Barton until Barton told him he would let out many of his skeletons out the huge closet.
Lineker hasn’t responded.
Barton is getting some stick but he laps it up.
some of yous might find this interesting about Giroud
http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/14052012/58/ligue-1-montpellier-chief-warns-newcastle-giroud.html
I read on skysports it was 9 games.
Troy – I saw that with Lineker too. Seemed a bit suspicious when he just shut up.

“The departure clause in the contract exists without existing but does exist.”
Well that clears it up then…

Everton to appeal Cahills red card
http://au.sports.yahoo.com/football/news/article/-/13684242/everton-to-appeal-tim-cahill-sending-off/
At BB & MDS
If Ba goes he’d be a cracking replacement.
Maybe Montpellier consider £9.5m to be expensive
@90. Yes he would. That’s too much for a back-up player but would about even out if Ba left on his transfer clause. If Ba does go, we need to replace him with a non-ACoN type and this guy would obviosuly qualify.
MDS
, right up there with “It was a murder, and I think someone may have been responsible”
Thats a class quote that one
MDS
With Lovenkrance, possibly Best and Ranger also leaving he’d be an excellant buy. Does anyone know if he can play LW?
@B&B
Nowt wrong with the new strip. It looks canny to me.
Andy- no clue mate
So what are we going to do for the next 2 and a half months? Apart from a week when England are in the Euros I’m going to be bored as fck!
STUART you could always set a a storey away,lots do
Howay Stu.
Some years there is nothing on tv.
We have the Euros and Olympics this year.
When does the Europa league start for us?
Not til around the start of the league. Since we finished 5th we skip the qualifying round
Ice there will be loads of stories floating about
from here on in
Troy sometime in Aug
Troy…At the moment we start in the 4th qualifying round first leg 23/8/12
Weve got loads to look forward to.
Troy @103 -That all depends on what comes out of Toon this week Doesn’t it.
When we start Europa qualification depends on Chelski. If they win we will start sooner I think as Spuds would be the highest placed qualifying side
Richie@102 and Toby@105-
I’m not positive if this is correct, but I heard we start in the 4th qualifying round (as Richie said) no matter what, with games on August 23 and 30. Supposedly, the FA Cup winner (Chelsea) skips qualification. If they win the Champions League, Tottenham would take the automatic qualification spot. The League Cup winner is lower than the 5th place team, though, so Liverpool starts in the 3rd qualifying round.
CharlieP…yeah that’s how I understand it, I think it’s crap that the FA cup winner goes straight into the group stages while the the 5th placed team in the league has to play a qualifier though
Ahhhh. Thanks. For some reason I thought we went right to the group stages
Euro 12 starts 8th June to 1st July.
Transfer window opens 1st July.
Pre season training/games from about middle of July.
New season kicks off 18th August.
Olympics = zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz fest.(except for the cycling and rowing)
MDS… I don’t know how, all the permutations were quite clear and easy to understand
Joey Barton’s twitter is pure comedy, anyone see what he said about Shearer?
Joseph Barton @Joey7Barton
Shearers still on my case…I know I f*cked up Alan, thanks for stating the obvious. Whilst were both stating the obvious about each other, can I just say for the record what a great player u were. Well better me…
But I have a better hair(which is not hard), wear well better shirts on TV and have a personality(something u lack). I really don’t like that prick, in fact I honestly despise him… Goodnight
I’d take it off Hansen and Lineker but not from that bell, same fella that stamped on Neil Lennon,then threatened FA if they banned him that he would retire from international football. No sorry, not having him, never have. Selfish, boring man him. He can do one…
My favourite memory of him though is when he dropped his spuds when Keano put it on him. Goodnight Al, sleep well matey…
all the euro qualifier info is on nufc.com.
worth a snout about on their site, as they’re always on the ball with the latest info.
@Kimtoon
I’ve just tweeted Steve Wraith who states he heard the rumours yesterday.
Who knows? I only pass on what I’m told.
Barton has the skin of a rhino!
Troy…and the brain and temperament of one too
I see Eden Hazard has gone public about his move to manchester next season

http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11679/7756885/Hazard-confirms-Manchester-move
Just not which colour it will be.
He’s got the mancs scratching each others eyes out.
Troy ,Like I said ,we will have to wait to see what this news coming out the Toon is befor we can say we got lots to look forward to.
BB, Citeh fans convinced he’s off there ,from what I read on their forum earlier. theres gonna be tears befor bedtime for one lot of fans .
Ah a steve wraith mention…must be transfer season.
BB…..Sky on the ball there, read that somewhere the other day…I reckon Citeh will be the ones
Oh yeh ,there is a topic titled Cisse and its asking if they should buy him or is he a one season wonder, the general opinion is hes a one season wonder
There was a time pre money they would of bit our hand off for such a player.
@Kimtoon
It would be boring without rumours I suppose.
aye Richie, money will win the day. But he will have to get used to sitting on the Bench alot.
sad, but cant see him turning down £200k per week. Not even manure can compete with that.
Troy-Too true
everyone is waiting for the Toon to implode, as per normal.
We have had a season of peace and stability, with a modicum of success.
Surely it cant last.
The daggers are drawn…….
Anyone just seen the SSN special report on Ukrainian football hooligans? They secretly filmed two sets of fans who were meeting up for a pre-arranged fight and one of them had a Toon shirt on. The old burgundy and blue away top!
A strip needs to be strident so that you can pick out your team mates easily. This one blends into the background. It might be okay for the fan, but not for the purpose for which it is primarily designed. Emergency services wear hi-viz for the obvious reason. The new strip wouldn’t be too bad if it had the hi-viz trimmings like Wigan’s. Hi-viz is easy to pick out from the corner of your eye. Of course, only people who have played the game would appreciate this. (Stay in your box Toonsy!) Furthermore, there is a psychology of colours that effect performances. Of course, the strip designers don’t care at all about that.
For some reason I had a thought/feeling yesterday, before I heard Troy’s rumour, that it would not surprise me one bit if Mikey looked for another manager to take us to the next stage. A Mourinho type figure.
wow scholes signs one yr contract extension at manure. Age 37
http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11667/7756922/Scholes-staying-on
Manure must be strapped for cash or summit
@B&B
The lack of effort and fight had zilch to do with the colours of the strip.
@127 – I would say a strip needs to be familiar for team mates to pick each other out instantly. I don’t mean it as a lame excuse but psychologically chucking on a different shirt colour must knock some recognitive skills to the side, in a game where instantaneous and intuitive interaction is related very highly to quick recognition. I haven’t checked, but as our infamous hammerings were away from home, is it coincidental we weren’t wearing black & white? If we’re going with our Persil advert range we may take until the end of the next season to get into our stride!
@B&B
I don’t know the details but I can’t ever see Ashley appointing a Morinho type manager.
They require big budgets and are on high pay themselves.
I would imagine its over selling players.
Not saying it had Troy, but a naff strip sets the tone. What was the reason, in your opinion, for the lack of effort and fight in such an important, multi-million pound game?
Good points Tsunki.
Troy, you’ve always said he was Ashley’s puppet.
I remember manure changing their strips at half time one match, because they couldn’t see each other.
I think it was against southampton, many moons ago.
They were wearing a grey strip, but cant remember what they changed into.
I think the burgundy is ok, but maybe needs the contrast of white shorts to work better.
)
Its a good point that you raise B&B. Just not sure its the reason for yet another abject performance. (Its not like its the first time this season
BB
Please tell me it was red and white stripes, realised the mistake so had to trott back in to change
BB – Very good point. I forgot about that. Fergie wouldn’t compromise performances or take any sh*t for the sake of pushing shirt sales.
Pardew wins LMA manager of year award.
Well done, Alain!
Wonder how the .Org clan will dilute this achievement…
Stu they’ve already tried. Even the article about it framed it in the sense that “it just goes to show how far the club sank that Pardew won the award for finishing 5th”, or something along those lines
stuart79 where u get that info?
I cant find any reference to that anywhere
ah right got it
http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11678/7756985/Pardew-wins-LMA-prize
well I’m well happy for him and quite shocked tbh.
Thought Mancini was shoed in for that one.
Deffo time for Mr Ashley to bring him down to earth with a bump me thinks.
Perhaps some truth to the rumours after all.
Tevez stirring the shit again
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18067191
Reet I’ve done my bit to keep yous up to date with various bits and pieces, so now I’ll hand over to Rodzilla to keep yous entertained through the wee small hours.
The rumours start … and Troy has an orgasm.
Just like like last year.
Must be time to hibernate until sense, and the football, returns
@B&B
If the players or manager had used that as an excuse at the end then I would accept it.
I haven’t heard anyone suggesting the strips were the problem.
Our third strip this season was black.
Howay, it’s sounds like you are trying to find an excuse for a lacklustre, yes lacklustre, performance.
Strips don’t stop players busting a gut, chasing and harrying with purpose.
I thought the dire performance at Wigan would have been a lesson learned.
Ah ha, my upside down friend Begas.
It must be all that living upside down that makes you bitter and twisted.
If I hear, via a trusted person that there’s been a humongous bust up between Ashley and Pards, do I keep it to myself or share it with all and allow people to read into as they wish.
I did explain that I reluctantly put the info out as I got stung with the Krul and Tiote transfers.
I am assured the news will break this week.
Who knows?
I suggest you cancel your evening chronicle paper boy if you don’t want to read about it.
@Begas
You kept your shoebox from last years hibernation?
Interesting, for a massive fallout they seemed fine last night when all sitting together at the LMA awards….
I smell bullshit again.
I swear some of our “fans” are only happy if there is some drama
BB…Aye it was v Southampton, made no odds as they still got gupped 6-3 and I think that was the match after they got humped 5 nowt for us. I don’t know how we ever won that as we were wearing black and white, which aren’t the best “colours” for standing out against the crowd back drop and Man Utd were wearing red which should have psychologically crushed us, how could this happen, how?
Toonsy…Maybe so, but my source reliably informs me that they were kicking each other under the table,quite aggressively too by all acounts, and Ashley was seen to loosen the top on the salt prior to handing it to Pards
That’s fighting talk that is
I also heard Pardew asked for the vegetables to be passed to him, but he was ignored so he had to get someone else to ask Mike if he could pass the vegetables to Alan.
Mike responded via someone else also
Speaking of strips, is they’re defo going to be a new home one coming out? I only ask because they usually last 2 years but as the Puma deal would have originally expired now so I’d assume they’d do a new one now, also I’d guess Virgin would be wanting a new one to come out as well…..so where is the fecker?
@Toonsy
It’s not a case of revelling in scandal. To reply that is typical of a drama queen who would like a reaction.
It was posted as information from people we trust.
Like every bit of info, you take it with a pinch of salt until it comes out if it does.
I do seem to remember that I was the one who got slated last summer when I broke the news that Pards had had a huge bust up with Ashley.
Short term memory loss is a worrying symptom.
What bust up happened last summer? Can you remind me?
Well Toonsy you wrote an article called ” where is Alan Pardew”
He went missing for a week and later admitted there had been ” some disagreements between himself and the board and he was very upset”
You state in your thread you dismiss 9 out of 10 rumours.
Does that mean you take 1 in 10 seriously?
To be fair, I’d expect a manager and owner/chairman to have huge bust ups every transfer window, the manager wants to buy and keep every player he wants regardless of cost whereas the owner is going to want to balance the books.
.
God I forgot about that
Yeah it was over not getting the striker he wanted in after being promised it by Llambias.
The 1 in 10 rumour I still don’t take seriously, just that it may have a chance
Anyhoo, I don;t have time for petty games or rumours, I’m home for two days then back away again so going to make the most of it with the family and get away from the computer. Toodle pip
Love it
Only for a couple of hours mind
@Richie
I agree with you. I find it refreshing that Pards is prepared to stand his ground.
As long as there’s a compromise then it’s healthy.
