He only posted that so he could subtly throw in a picture of his mincey drink.

Self defeating arguments here, listing our top players but ignoring the very important point that they haven't played many games together this season, which is a big reason why we are struggling is desperate. Our core/key players have spent far too much time injured or suspended, they are either missing or coming back. How many games have Tiote and Cabaye played together? S Taylor and Colo? How many games did Krul miss at the start of the season? That's not to say we haven't played some atrocious football which Pardew could have done a hell of a lot more to correct but to completely ignore the fact we have had to deal with these problems is stupid. To bring up Pardew quotes where he is trying to deflect the blame from his boss is just a whole new level of moronic, imo. He is far from perfect, he does really annoy me at times but he didn't win manager of the season out of luck. He is a decent manager who is going through a very poor spell. He and the coaching staff need to get things turned around quickly but anyone calling for his head really need to have a look at themselves. We are becoming a joke with regards to shifting managers, fair enough we have had more than our fair share that needed moving on but it's pathetic how quickly some have turned on Pardew.

If the FA announced that bringing on an Ameobi during the game meant you took all 3 points stifler would still moan about the substitution.

So he shouldn't have made any changes?

He still plays lazy passes that get us into trouble far to often. The one Krul had to break a neck to stop a clear run on goal vs Southampton was a prime example. He needs to look up and play a sensible pass, the Hollywood passes I can almost forgive, It's the simple passes that are played too short/wide that are unforgivable. Not to sound all T27/James but I am starting to think his football's answer to Chuck Norris thing we have at the club is massaging his ego a little too much. When he arrived his pass completion was up there with the top in Europe but it must be pretty shocking now.

Most of us were thnking exactly the same as Tom throughout the game, it is completely unrelated to the discussion in this thread.

CT you sound like your opinion is based on what others tell you, you're turning into wormy here.

Completely agree.

Loan signings is a good shout, against Ashley's beliefs though.

Well you definitely do the first bit so you either are an pathetically desperate lass or even more worryingly something created by LBT.

He genuinely put forward Hughes the other day, he is a clueless mong.

Only if you are moronically fickle.

Aeris knows fuck all, it is either a lass who follows the racist twat about in a desperate bid for attention or it's him letting his really thick ideas come to the fore.

Yep I am not at all happy at the moment but I get the feeling if all our first team and reserve players contracted some disease so we had to field an under 15 side and lost it would still be 'more excuses from Pardew' He has dug himself into a whole with comments about being happy with the summers dealings but he was never going to slag off the people who gave him the biggest job he will ever have and he was no doubt pushed for these comments by the press. He has made a fair few mistakes mind, it just doesn't mean these excuses aren't valid.

Managers normally do, would find it very surprising if a manager genuinely decided not to improve the squad given the chance. Pardew definitely wanted a few more players this summer despite what he has said since the window closed.

Would be very surprised if there weren't a number of clauses to get him out of that contract at a reasonable pay off.

You can't blame managers for not buying players.

All the best Mac.

Flypaper - not bad.

Don't listen to him LBT, in fact just to spite him I think you should put all your efforts into following Malaga.

Reminds me of Gibson at the fiddlers though.

The Ba/ego thing is ridiculous. To be a prolific centre forward you need to be a self centred, greedy twat. It's very rare to find any who aren't and the very, very few who are will be the very best players to have played.

Agreed, we were frustrating at times but it wasn't luck it was calculated football which although not always exciting we deserved to be where we finished after so many games. It wasn't Stoke/Bolton like either. We could have played prettier football but at the time we were a long way from a team that would finish 5th (challenging for 4th or even 3rd by the last game) so I more than appreciate the finish.

Thought that was the Trent for a second.

Showing your complete lack of football knowledge here, will let someone else explain where you have gone wrong here. No shock you know fuck all mind, given you are LBT or some desperate lass who follows him about.
