You're a good lad and all that Parky, but that's pish. The performance at Arsenal was one of the most committed I've seen off a toon team ever. That's only 3/4 weeks ago. And the performance against WBA was shocking and that was 3 days ago and the one agaist Bolton was a week ago, things were slipping and thats a fact Read Alex's post above. I did then I read the shit you posted

Oh yeah of course, but will it have been luck rather than judgement? ie was Jol actually lined up or is this just a lucky coincidence? If it is indeed Jol he would have been sounded out through Kelmsley or some other Spud wheeler dealer. Yeah cos they have a great relationship after sacking him

Dear me, nobody mentioned by the current regime. I know that, but I did. Therefore it highlights the fact that the current owner has now had 3 managers (plus various caretakers) and not one of them has been backed financially. In the case of Keegan this was the owner reneging on the promise made when he was given the job. If you can't see the relevance of that to how things will play out with any future boss then I'm wasting my time here. Arguably only one of them was ever going to be backed financially. I dont think you can completely rule out e.g. him bringing in Jol and signing Keane from Spurs, he brought in 4 decent players over the summer and handed out improved contracts to the performing players. None of which was predicted. It'll be Pardew now i've said that. Who comes in will be the ans. Wether it really is that Mash wants to go to the next level or it's just his ego again. That is my point, dont kick off too much until we know who it is and how much he gets to spend. Most people would be happy with Jol and say 15-20 mil now if that happens great. If its Pardew and a few quid then obviously not

Oh yeah of course, but will it have been luck rather than judgement? ie was Jol actually lined up or is this just a lucky coincidence? Yep what a coincidence that would be that Jol chucks his job the same day we sack our manager. Maybe he just bumped into Ashley in Asda and they got chatting in the frozen food isle (assuming we get Jol)

I dont think he has tbh. I agree he did a good job last season and we have have had some good results this season but it doesnt wipe out some of the shit does it? I'm not saying we've played well in every game. The good results where we didn't expect anything plus the Villa and Sunderland games do cancel out the poorer results to an extent though. Are you seriously suggesting you thought we'd be higher up the table and on more points than we currently are as well? I expected us to do Sunderland here as I think we will get done there, the Villa scoreline was a surprise but we played them at the right time, that said it was a great performance but we have not had enough of those, we are way to inconsistant. We had 2 shots on target at Arsenal but we worked hard and they were on an off day, we caught Chelsea at the right time too and I really thought we could have won but a point was a good result. Our home form is poor and now our away form is slipping, 8 goals against us v WBA and Bolton. Im not saying Ashley is right I`m just saying he was at a crossroads and had to make a decision, he did and now we have to wait and see. If we get Pardew or someone of that ilk then I will slate him as that isnt a step forward. Jol or MON would be As for the points tally I would say maybe a few more based on the games we have played but its more the recent performances that have worried me

I dont think he has tbh. I agree he did a good job last season and we have have had some good results this season but it doesnt wipe out some of the shit does it?

This would be a distinct possibility under any manager considering who we're up against and that we're a newly promoted team. Only now, we'll be doing it under a manger the players don't know or care about. He was only able to purchase within the means that Ashley allowed him to spend ... so fuck all. What class of player did you expect him to be able to purchase? Why would he give the new manager any cash if he didn't the last? Well, prepare to be dissatisfied ... Why on earth would Jol or O'Neal come to us when they know that there'll be fuck all to spend. Think back to why O'Neal left Villa in the first place. Yes, he is ... and God help us, 'cause Ashley certainly won't. On paper, we have a worse squad than what we had when we went down. What we had in our favour was that the squad played as a team, with everyone playing for each other. And that was down to Hughton. \\ And now he's gone. How on Earth can anyone think that what Ashley did was correct? Grow a brain. I`m not saying it was right I`m saying he had a decision to make and he made it. Right or wrong only time will tell I wish people would stop making out Houghton is like Mourinho or Fergie. YES he steadied the ship and Yes he got us out of the fizzy pop league and Yes we have had some good results so far this season BUT we have also had some very poor ones too and he has taken 2 points from 15 against the likes of WBA,Blackburn,Fulham and Stoke and before people start banging on about how some of these are established teams and we are newly promoted etc,etc,etc which teams should we be expecting to take points off? Blackpool and WBA have both beaten us 2-0 and 3-1, Stoke turned us over and Fat Sams Blackburn won at SJP is this acceptable just cos we drew against Chelsea and beat Arsenal?

Where would we be if we had only picked up a few points from our next 4 or 5 games, which is a distinct possibility. Relegation zone and sucked into a fight to survive which frankly we didn't do to well in last time. Ashley had a decision to make, either stick with Houghton or look elsewhere. It's obvious he doesn't have the faith required to let Chris have a go and to be honest some of his tactics/subs and purchases have been a bit dodgy. Ben Arfa and Tiote are both class but look at Sol,Pearch and Best, woeful. It's better he's done it know so he can give a new manager a bit of time before the window opens to see who he wants out and tbh there should be a few. If he backs the new guy with 10-15 mil plus what he recoups through sales then I think that's pretty fair. I would be dissatisfied with any of the names mentioned with the exception of Jol or MON Only time will tell if he is right or wrong but he's the owner and its down to him

This is where Ashley shows his hand Jol or O Neil shows he wants success and must be prepared to put money in Pardew and the rest of the third raters shows he is gonna be a cheap twat and has no ambition. I would be well happy with Jol

Loses to Blackpool,Stoke a lucky draw at Wigan and that abortion yestrday was Proberbly the final straw. Chris did well last season but with that side we were always likely to bounce streight back up. Obviously Ashley has other ideas on going forward but his track record isn't great. If and a big if he does get a proven manager he will need to cough up a lot of money to back him as that side at the moment has relegation battle written all over it

Guthrie,Smith and Ameobi should be fucked off for whatever we can get, if anything in Jan. Followed by Routledge and Jonas in the summer and get wingers who ain't headless chickens and that can bypass the first man with a cross

A clean sheet at the Arse, never ever thought that would happen. Looking forward to work and seeing the Arsenal fans. Credit to Chris for the tactics and the lads for putting in an awesome shift, maybe the bitter pill of relegation is spuring them on, well cuffed tonight

I'm not a slut I've got a boyfriend, LOL. Bet anyone who's Mrs went out in a catsuit will be asking a few questions Nice one Andy bag a couple today to round off a good week

This is an awesome performance, come on Andy get on the scoresheet

Was speaking to a guy at work and he reckons that hooker shrek was banging is in with some pretty heavy gangsters up there and they have told Rooney, in no uncertain terms that he needs to fuck off and sharpish. If he goes to City then it kinda blow it out the water tho

Hope you wore a condom as one of you is more than enough, you pointless, little cunt

Possibly the 2 worst substitutions ever and cost the game, Houghton showing a complete lack of nouse/bottle

What diet have the got Yakubu on? KFC,Maccy D`s and Pizza hut fat cunt

Guess someone broke a leg then

Cracking goal Ben Arfa has looks very good Tiote is playing well too All over them first half lets hope we can get a quick one in the second

------------------------Harper------------------------- ---------Williamson-----Sol--------Colo------------- Jonas---------Barton------Tiote-----------Enrique-- ------------------------Nolan-------------------------- -----------------------Ben-Arfa----------------------- ----------------------Carroll-------------------------- Wont happen but wouldnt mind seeing how it worked, Jonas and Enrique in a wing back role but pushing forward as needed then Tiote/Barton can hang back. Ben Arfa in a free role supported by Nolan. Back to reality I think it will be -------------------------Harper------------------------ Simpson-------Sol------------Colo-----------Enrique ------------------------Tiote----------------------------- Barton---------------Nolan--------------------Jonas----- ----------------------Ben-Arfa--------------------------- -----------------------Carroll------------------------------ I think Routladge will loose out and Barton will be out wide to accomodate Nolan, especially away games.

Well he obvs should have fucking worked harder, shouldn't he have? What the fuck does he get paid for. It's also his job to coach so let's see if he can make anything out of Xisco, Best or Stroller. He didn't have lots of cash and I think he's done pretty well

I would say better than expected, Campbells experience could prove valuable as you say its just keeping him fit. Tiote looks a decent dm at a good age too. Gosling should offer something going forward and again a good age. Don't see Pearch as more than a bit part player when Simpson is fit. Ben Arfa, if he plays to his potential, could prove the best deal of the window in the premier league. Been a while since there has been a player like him exciting the fans. Hope Ranger gets a chance due to lack of another striker but unless we unloaded it was never going to happen. Could have been a lot worse, let's hope its enough

true.. Gutierrez is going to have to get dropped isn't he really? Jonas can play on the right too so maybe some competition for Routledge too
