PappyMason
03.11.16 | Pards
I remember when he wore that velvet jacket for Palace's boxing day fixture... |
Spacesh1p
03.11.16 | Pardiola is a legend, Tuna. |
Tunaboy45
03.11.16 | Good luck 2 rafa tho
|
PappyMason
03.11.16 | Well, they've got themselves a serious manager now. Lets see what happens |
Spacesh1p
03.11.16 | Still surprised by that, if I'm honest. Best thing to happen to that club since Ashley took over, probably. |
Shemson
03.11.16 | Rafa gonna need it, Allardyce knows how to keep a team up |
Tunaboy45
03.11.16 | I fel bad for Steve tbh, didn't stand a chance the fans tore him to shreds |
ChoccyPhilly
03.11.16 | huh? dont you support middlesborough? |
Shemson
03.11.16 | Yeah, McLaren just kept smiling whilst losing more and more hair. Tough job is Newcastle, their fans actually think they should be a good team. |
Spacesh1p
03.11.16 | Tuna really is on the piss, sympathy for the former Toon manager? |
Tunaboy45
03.11.16 | I love Boro mate but also think rafa is a legend so gud luck 2 him |
Tunaboy45
03.11.16 | Want a proper derby u kno? |
Spacesh1p
03.11.16 | I have some sympathy but you know what you're getting into there. Can't blame a man for backing himself to succeed even under difficult conditions but I only think Rafa stands a chance because it appears he accepted to position under terms that give him more authority. |
Shemson
03.11.16 | I hate Rafa and hope he gets relegated :) |
Tunaboy45
03.11.16 | They never blame the players only the manager, atrocious |
Spacesh1p
03.11.16 | Indeed Tuna.
Shem, I don't really have an opinion on him to be honest. |
Shemson
03.11.16 | Yeah, not his fault Pards left them with a squad of not arsed Frenchman and Ashley keeps selling their best players |
Shemson
03.11.16 | I'm an Evertonian and he spent years talking down to us so that's my opinions basis |
KILL
03.11.16 | i am pissed emerson croaked |
Spacesh1p
03.11.16 | Wasn't even Pardeaux, blame Graham Carr and the other people who run the recruitment. You could even say that it's not really Ashley's "fault" that they sell the best players...I don't know, so this is speculation, but I wouldn't be surprised if they sell it to players as a "if you succeed here and fetch a big enough profit, we aren't going to stop you" kind of deal. |
Spacesh1p
03.11.16 | Fair enough, hate away my friend Shem, I have plenty of targets of my football ire as well. |
Shemson
03.11.16 | I dunno, I remember Pards saying about their French Ligue scouting and how English players were too expensive so they look their for players... Might've just been towing the company line though I guess.
Bet they're gutted they didn't spot Mahrez! |
PappyMason
03.11.16 | One could even argue that it was bizarre that McLaren got the Newcastle job in the first place.
He failed to get Derby out the Championship twice, and he was rewarded by getting a Premiership job. How does that work!? |
Shemson
03.11.16 | Who do you support mate? |
Shemson
03.11.16 | True Pappy, still can't believe he got the England job back in the day either! The guys had a lot of good fortune and bad results! |
Spacesh1p
03.11.16 | He's not wrong about that, the "English premium" is definitely real, so it makes sense they shop in the League Un bargain bin and hope they can sell later. Every now and then you get a Mahrez, Kante, Sissiko, Yohan Kebab, etc to sell for a nice profit. |
Shemson
03.11.16 | Yeah for sure, look what they just paid for Townsend and Shelvey! |
PappyMason
03.11.16 | Will Benitez be able to sort out the defense? |
Spacesh1p
03.11.16 | Indeed Pappy, I think he rode his "rehabilitated man" reputation all the way to the Newcastle job.
And Shem, if you were asking me, I'm a gooner but I'm also American so judge me how you will if you're a trve footbvll fvn who swears loyalty to the Queen. |
PappyMason
03.11.16 | Townsend's best contributions have been in a England shirt. Spurs did a job on them there. |
Spacesh1p
03.11.16 | With the personnel they have it won't be easy to fix the defense but some organization and Good Old English Graft TM wouldn't hurt. |
Spacesh1p
03.11.16 | Townsend is a hack, imo. Can't stand him. Seems like he's got a too big for his britches attitude as well. Shelvy is like the English Adebayor at this point but he's always good for something interesting, it just doesn't always involve a football. |
Shemson
03.11.16 | It's all good man, we got a lot of American fans after Howard's World Cup performance and I think it's cool to see 'soccer' finally catching on over the pond.
Benitez is good at defences tbf to him. His old Liverpool team were solid at the back but can he do it with the likes of Collicini? |
Shemson
03.11.16 | Yeah my spurs supporting mate was cracking up and the fee they got! He has one move, cut inside and shoot from distance. Sometimes he scores a wonder goal but as you said, it was mostly for England! |
ChoccyPhilly
03.11.16 | A few years ago, Collicini was hailed as like defender of the year when newcastle finished 5th under pards, so he has the capability |
Spacesh1p
03.11.16 | I started watching around 2011, my first big Arsenal memory is the home leg against Ibra and Silva's AC Milan in that season's CL. Fitting memory, that.
Timmy Howard, don't you mean the Secretary of Defense?! Lawl xDDD |
zakalwe
03.11.16 | Bloody useless.
Newcastle are the 'biggest' shit club in existence. |
Tunaboy45
03.11.16 | Yeah man he knows what he's doing just needs the right management and he's on his way |
ChoccyPhilly
03.11.16 | correction: they're the shittiest 'big' club in existence |
Tunaboy45
03.11.16 | They're a championship club through and through |
Spacesh1p
03.11.16 | Yeah Choccy but he's pretty much past it now and has gone on record a few points saying he would prefer to be back home in Argentina now and all that.
Think it was Pete on the Ramble who once said he's like a proud old dog that is too sick to keep going but the owner won't put him down. Something like that lol. |
Shemson
03.11.16 | Haha he's been living off that title from Obama ever since! He's been absolute shit for the last three seasons and has finally been forced out of the starting eleven! |
Spacesh1p
03.11.16 | Easily the best football chat I've had on here, cheers guys, I'm about to go home and get pissed myself. |
PappyMason
03.11.16 | I mean, you know you're off the boil when Robles is ahead of you in the pecking order... |
zakalwe
03.11.16 | Barry Venison > |
Artuma
03.12.16 | "best band going amirite?"
nah |
Shemson
03.12.16 | Haha Pappy knows his football, nice! Robles is actually doing really well at the moment he just looks so awkward. He looks like he's been stretched on a medieval rack and he's really goofy in the face too but his recent record is something like 10 games with 7 clean sheets and that's considering we've been leaking goals for fun all season. |
Tunaboy45
03.15.16 | Just noticed that this list exists, don't even remember making it. |

03.15.16 | lol americans |
Spacesh1p
03.15.16 | Hey now I'm American and I knew exactly what you meant |
Tunaboy45
03.15.16 | Is it a term people ever use in America in the context of being drunk? |
Spacesh1p
03.15.16 | Nope. I wish. I just know a lot of your slang via football meeja and podcasts like Football Weekly, Ramble, La Liga Weekly, etc.
Huge Tuesday Club fan too as a gooner, they're always good for some new Brit slang for me. |

03.15.16 | Disgusting. |
