Alan Pardew - Poltroon sacked by a forrin team

I'm sure he'll happily warm their bench for twice his NUFC weekly wage. Think you're attaching too much weight to one result by the way, especially a result that was far from certain until the 84th minute. Players will be told of transfer plans beind the scenes, they can probably make their minds up about progress based on that.
-
Think he was always going to leave to be fair, good age to join a top club and has history with wanting out for a higher wage, Just a shame it's to that lot, and not Galatasaray or something. I absolutely despise Chelsea (almost as much as I hate Liverpool) and thus I'll be wishing Ba nothing but the worst along with his new teammates should the deal happen.
-
Ba's fee will cover the cost of Debuchy. Business for the window done. Hopefully the above isn't the case.
-
What bloke?
-
To be fair, at least we know we'll have Steven Taylor back soon. Simpson pretty much is our only option at RB, regardless of injuries to others. Maybe Tavernier can do a job there, I'm not so sure.
-
I didn't say the subs were a good idea. In fact the next sentence has me telling you that in my opinion they "didn't work out". I just meant at the time I could sort of see why they were made, so they weren't completely 100% pointless subs as some seem to think. I'm not that bothered about what Pardew says about the players to the press. What I care about is what he tells them behind closed doors. No idea what he said but I doubt he just went "it's alright, lads, I'll let you off because you worked so hard at Old Trafford". You're right, fatigue doesn't excuse stupid mistakes. Like I said, it's just one reason we lost, but a perfectly legitimate one. Perhaps if Ashley had invested more in the squad, we'd have more to choose from when injuries weaken the squad.
-
Should give Simpson away to whatever club is nearest to Tulisa's mansion. Would suit all parties.
-
Better late than never... How much better off we'd be if we'd sorted this out in the summer doesn't bear thinking about.
-
He put on a striker for a CM as we were a goal down - what's so awful about that? Yes, it didn't work out, in retrospect he could have done something else. Of course he's handing them an excuse. Like I just said, it's a man management thing. Criticising hem directly after every match won't help them. Not sure why you're struggling to understand the effects fatigue can have on players. Especially if the team is ravaged by injuries, put in a lot of effort on a heavy pitch against Man Utd, and played against a team who have a bigger squad and had more time off. Also a team who sat back and didn't exert themselves for the first hal of the match. As for Pardew - are you another one who attributes all he's achieved as being down to luck, yet will happily attribute all the team's problems to the man? Great, welcome to the forum.
-
Still 'only' 5 points between us and the top half. We'll find some form soon enough and get out of this mess. Sounds like Debuchy might actually be a goer too, although I won't get too excited just yet.
-
That you on the left? Rest in peace.

There's absolutely nothing CT is bringing to the party other than idiocy at the minute. Refreshing comments poor, banter poor, football knowledge poor. Wouldn't want to panic ban him with nothing better lined up, but he has to go sooner or later. -
It as an excuse, though. A totally legitimate one. It's not the only reason we lost 7-3 though, and Pardew knows that. I've not read his post-match comments but if he was laying most of the blame on fatigue then there's probably a bit of man-management in there - he's not having a go at no doubt very disappointed players. He'll make them feel better about themselves. Again, of course it played a factor. Not the only one, by a long shot but it didn't help.

London Underground strike.

Surely if a player is playing for a move their form should suddenly get better, not worse? Tiote's form is going to put off suitors, not encourage them.
-
Yeah. I'm not sure why how much they're paid has anything to do with it, as if a high wage will make you less tired on a football pitch.
-
Who said they can't? If you can't appreciate that Arsenal benefitted by having no Boxing Day fixture, and that we suffered a bit because we did (even more so because of the performance at Old Trafford), then you're being too harsh.

Poor form, and it's not much of an excuse given what they're paid, but I imagine they were gutted and just wanted to get out of there.
-
fucking pump/pumping fucking You forget Obertan and Bigirimana by the way. And I don't think we'll go down even if we don't sort the glaring issues out. Sad it's even being considered after last season, mind.
-
Thought that place is meant to be pretty poor once you get past the beaches and the architecture. Which, thinking about it, is reason enough for many to go there I'm sure.
-
Has to be a middle ground with Ba really. He's entitled to ask for what he wants but I imagine he'll understand why the club would be reluctant to pay him far in excess of any other player. It's a shame the clause exists, obviously. If we couldn't agree terms with Ba on an improved contract we could at least make more than £7.5m off of him. £7,5m for a player of his quality is an absolute bargain. If he leaves, I hope it's to a decent side capable of winning trophies (even Turkish ones, given he's been linked to Galatasaray and his best mate Moussa Sow plays over there). If he went to QPR because they're prepared to pay him a large wage, I'd really lose all respect for the man. Which would be a shame as he seems like a nice, amiable person.
-
On the other hand, we might have new players by then.

Berlin is supposed to be class. edit; thinking about it, I could reeeeally do with a holiday after today's game
