Gejon

and Carroll heading wide, saw a stat the other day saying he has done that 12 times this season and when you think how much he has played..

They need to get following him on twitter today

Some Tossers there , Aeris the biggest Yup

I doubt he would be in Ireland if he was playing anyway, I know it's not that far but still. Not that I believe Kevin for a second. He is exactly the type to get a photo and have it as a facebook profile pic before he has even got home.

That was my assumption.

At the time Pardew replacing Hughton was as ludicrous as replacing steak with spam but so far it is actually working out. He has his faults and frustrates us with some of his decisions but we are doing well and should enjoy the moment as it were. Some of the criticism has been way too over the top and by certain posters has been frankly childish/pathetic/toys out of the pram. IIRC Lake Bells Tits or whatever he is called was like that on N-O, having a proper teenager strop every time we were linked to someone he didn't like etc.. visions of those kids you see on various youtube opening a present then kicking off, rolling around the floor in floods of tears because they got an xbox 360 instead of a PS3.

Ba's career record is 164 games scoring 88 goals. Flash in the pan indeed

The funny thing is "Best is shit" "Ryan Taylor is shit" "Obertan is shit" "Simpson is shit" So that's 36% of our starting 11 that are shit, but despite all this and the manager getting us to 7th place by xmas "Pardew is shit".

Aeris is blatantly a 14 year old hormonal girl whose favourite lesson is music.

So you admit you have never seen the lad play but we MUST buy him. You who calls the manager who has us sitting in 7th clueless, brilliant

Watch many Goiás games?

Spot on.

Think it's 21 in 28 starts if you include his West Ham stats which is the most prolific strike rate in the premier league apparently.

Well there's about 5 posts on the last page not to mention other threads, fortunately it seems to be the same small bunch, unfortunately they seem to be more vocal/prolific.

Despite a slump I don't think Best is shite at all, he just isn't amazing. He has been at his best (excuse the pun) when being played as the main man though. Vuckic is more of a number 10 apparently, Sammy is a winger but can play up front. I think Lovenkrands is shit BUT he is capable of getting the odd goal by finding himself in the right position. It's not ideal but it's more promising than the initial list imo.

He's better than Bent who went for £18m rising to £24m and Ireland (who must have still been rated at about £4m at the time). £15m would definitely have been a steal, £20m still would have been.

The football section is going a bit downhill on here with the mongs taking over

Prefer to look at it like we have: Best - Average, has looked better when he is the main man though (Carroll being sold, Ba's slow start) Ameobi - Average, can produce at times though. Ben Arfa - Whole load of talent but can give it away a lot but players like that will and it's worth the bit of magic when it does come off. Vuckic - Cracking eye for goal if not very raw. Sammy Ameobi - Unpredictable. Lovenkrands - Capable of being in the right place at the right time Don't think Ranger will be back before Ba anyway. I think I read Ba is only liking to be missing for 4 games anyway. But yeah it's a massive failure for at least 3 transfer windows now. Pathetic that we have obviously put all our efforts into one player with absolutely no back up plan. Even if they are (they will be) being tight twats there must be forwards out there who are out of contract in the summer so will be available for a knock down price, or others have mentioned a loan would do but Ashley with his inability to tell the difference thinks a loan is like renting a house so a waste of money

You should probably look at sarcasm in the dictionary too

Or that they spent £100m in the summer on top of what was already a quite expensive squad? For all their domination and nearly £60m spent on 2 strikers yet only being one point ahead of us with our £2m (tops) strikeforce doesn't put Kenny too far ahead of Pardew for me.

So you are this mythical 'would rather lose 4-3 than win 1-0' fan the media bring up? Yes we do play hoof ball at times but comparing us to Stoke is ridiculous.

But won't get as many points and will probably be in or around the scrap at the end of the season. Pretty sure the Norwegian is a Liverpool fan, seems to have a proper hard on for them and sees something I doubt anyone else does in their play.

Liverpool certainly don't dominate every game like you seem to imagine, they have also been consistently better than us for a long, long time (including the 2 is it? times we finished about them is like claiming Sunderland are a better team than us). Liverpool also have a strike force that cost about £60m more than ours so whose fault are these apparent finishing problems?

Get a time machine then, we aren't the club we were back then and unless we get a wealthy owner that is prepared to spend big money we won't be playing the type of football Spurs, Man City, Man Utd and Liverpool* play whilst still winning games. *Liverpool really don't play that great football tbh, certainly not compared to the other 3 you have lumped them in with.

Our last 5 results at Anfield have been Lost 2-0 Lost 2-0 Lost 3-0 Lost 3-0 Lost 3-0 So it's not as if losing there will be a new thing, or something indicative of this manager/squad/regime. That shit playing style you have mentioned has got us to a higher position than 13 other teams in this league, also a massive 1 point behind the carpet football side Liverpool and 3 points behind Arsenal. You are talking like we are fucking Stoke! I don't really see your point, it just seems like you are trying to be the most repetitively negative person on the forum, is there some sort of prize I am unaware of?
