Happy Face

It is. It really is. He relates to the great sayings of other men... ..but his own prosaic musings are comical in their banality... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2F3n80V_sb0

"Then I have my despots section"

...and we've played garbage with a 442 many times. By and large i just think Pardew, and by extension his players, are more comfortable with it. When we have that Tiote/Cabaye partnership in the middle which has been the defining success through Pardew's time here.

Ben Arfa played Hull and was shite. And Sunderland. The idea that he will terrorise the weaker oppositions when we're expected to play on the front foot doesn't really have that much supporting evidence. I wouldn't have any great issues with him replacing Ameobi, but I remain unconvinced by Pardew's attempts at 433. Everyone seems to know their roles much better in his 442.

Totally agree CT. No reason we can't play a higher line with more ambitious attacking down the wings using yesterdays personnel. No-one deserves dropping. Like for like to replace Debuchy and see how the first half hour goes. If it goes tits up, then swap out those who aren't performing on the day. Players off the bench will be all the hungrier for it.

Fergie gets PWND!!!!

What I like about this one is that Martin Corrigan is entirely redundant. He's told us about him, and then he get's no further mention in the entire book. Martin can lay his hands on anything, but he didn't get the binoculars, that was "another guy"....the fact he was a nice guy with a speech impediment really makes this yarn worth including, otherwise the story of buying binoculars would be pedestrian at best.

Gonna post some of my favourite anecdotes from Fergie... I've not left anything out. That is the ENTIRE story. This is one of the greatest of Fergie's memories, something he has carried for 50 years, waiting to publish. A man once wore a bow tie.

Love that last sentence.....just to be clear. Fergie's book is chock full of #accidentalpartridge

Beat these by 3 or so and we could go above Spurs...who have Man City

Beat these and we can move above Man City...who've got Spurs.

Pardew will just slot Anita in at RB

unbelievable

Aye, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. But Pardew needs to be pro-active if we aren't pissing all over them by half time. Don't sit on nowts each until the 70th minute like he did with West Ham and Fulham. He's been piping up about the squad depth, so if we have game changers on the bench, change the game.

Think he did. When Keegan went and then when Pardew got the job he was raging.

Just CT.

Aye. Guess he won't have to.

Wonder if Laudrup will be using the europa excuse.

tbf his first attack was the first time this half we went forward and didn't immediately concede possession.

It's a field of one.
