    Fuck me sideways. If I didn't know otherwise, I would use all three guesses up on that being a photo of the cast of an up and coming sitcom.

    Surviving relegation is character building. If we manage to stay up, we'll be stronger for it. Alternatively, all of our best players will blame each other and fuck off to our rivals, leaving us back at square one.

    That's a new one. I always thought of him as a welly melting in a bonfire.

    That said, I don't think our defence had a chance on Saturday - they were horribly exposed by our midfield. Cabaye was pushed up almost near Cisse and both of Perch and Tiote were pressing high up the pitch. This was clearly tactical instruction from Pardew rather than any particular individual failing. We know that every single player on that pitch is capable of doing the business. Singling out the defence for special treatment after Saturday's game is IMO short sighted. We were set up wrongly and left our back line for dead. If you're consistently left with 3 vs 3 or 4 vs 4 at the back, you're going to get hammered.

    It's a bold effort, but you'll have to do better for it to count.

    Doesn't matter about the language spoken by rest of the team. The communication that matters is between his fellow centre back, otherwise we'll see players not being picked up, offside traps being ballsed up and passes going astray. Mbiwa can't ask Cabaye to translate what Taylor has just said when they're both chasing a ball down. Mbiwa will learn in time - there is definitely a player in there. I don't think he's a waste of money at all, I just think that at this stage of his development, I don't fancy his chances against West Ham.

    Main problem for me is Cabaye who looks absolutely fucked. He holds his groin at least 5 times a game. Him being our playmaker, captain and leader is making the situation even worse, as there isn't really anyone else who can adequately fill his boots.

    It was always going to be tough for a young centre back who doesn't speak any English. He's been struggling recently, and that probably hasn't been helped by playing pretty much every minute since Colo fucked off. Williamson and Taylor are relatively used to playing together, they both speak the same language and they both know the sort of tricks that West Ham will play. They have both played loads of games in the PL. Against a mobile, pacey side, I'd be wary of it, but West Ham's approach is so physical and aggressive that I worry Mbiwa would be pushed aside.

    Suggesting playing him there as he was terrible at centre back on Saturday. He was also terrible against Danny Graham against the mackems, who is less of a handful than Carroll is likely to be. He just couldn't cope with the physical battle. I can just see him being brushed off the ball by the likes of Nolan and Carroll, whereas at least Taylor and Williamson know what they're all about and know exactly what to expect.

    I'll be pissed off if Wigan stay up at our expense, especially after the whole McManaman / Haidara incident, their handball goal and the fact McManaman scored for them on Saturday.

    The overall 9-0 aggregate score from our last two home games is partly down to Pardew's tactics. In poker terms, he went all in after half time. At 1-0 down against the mackems, we just needed a goal to change the game in our favour, so he threw on some attacking subs and we inevitably got done by a couple of swift counter attacks. At 2-0 down against Liverpool, we just needed a goal to alter the balance of the game, so he threw on some attacking subs and we got ripped apart as our centre midfield went missing. It's almost exactly like we were last season - if we don't score first, we invariably lose the game. What worked against Stoke and against Chelsea at home didn't work in the last two games.
  13. BigWalrus
    Thoughts on Williamson replacing Mbiwa in the middle? (perhaps Mbiwa could play full back). Williamson is a very limited player, but he's probably most suited to dealing with Andy Carroll.

    I was having a discussion with a mate last weekend about a related topic. Do you think anyone has ever physically shat themselves solely as a result of pre-match nerves?
  16. BigWalrus
    Pardew, to be fair, has admitted he's got it wrong on a number of occasions. He admitted he got it wrong at the weekend. It doesn't necessarily change your key point of " the wounds of the last fortnight just won't heal for me", however. This is the big one for me. It takes a manager who is self-assured and very confident to be able to bounce back from the last few weeks.

    It's a stitch up.

    People spouting shite about topics they are almost entirely ignorant of. Every bastard has an opinion on everything even if its far too complicated to be digested by their limited thought processes. Don't get me wrong, everyone (including me) will think they get something, only to be later proven wrong. My issue is that there so many serial offenders, its untrue. People who have built up a self-expectation that everyone thinks they're an oracle of knowledge and feel duty bound to give their thought on the matter.

    People who use the word "like" inappropriately. Such as, "I've been like working from like home for the last like week or so, so I'm like canny like fresh" Uncontrollably irritates the hell out of me.
  23. BigWalrus
    Me too. It's self-parody at its best!
  24. BigWalrus
    All of this is wild speculation and assumption. I know a couple of people who work for the club and the transfer policies and procedures are highly guarded secrets.
