Howay

Aye I'd agree with that. The key point is that he sent a side out against City that he probably assumed would lose, fortunately for us fans Abeid, Aarons and co turned out to play better than the starters. Ashley will get no credit imo, the bloke is a total fucking cunt and he has no intention of winning a cup, if the club is wiping it's own nose and wins a cup then he gets no credit. I'd give Pardew credit if he give it a go from here on in, even though I agree he picked a side to lose against City and he is also a monumental cunt. We're in a strong enough position in the league to achieve that magical 10th spot so there is no reason we should play a weak side tonight, they should be going full tilt tonight and Sunday, then we could maybe think about resting players after that but these next two games are crucial for the fans and should be for the team too. Of course if he hoys another weakened side out today and we win again then Pardew can fuck off. Either way though I'd never see Pardew as a club legend, he's too much of a prick and he looks down on the fans of the club imo.

Then he'll bring Kinnear in to manage the side.

Well I expect he learnt his lesson and will go conservative next time. 11 defenders on the pitch maybe.

Altidore is a fucking shocking player.

Probably still a bit ropey from his night out. Fwiw it was a fucking laughable dive, shocked the ref give it.

Is it a 4-4-2 or is Perez going to play an attacking mid role like what Sissoko has been doing? Fucking typical him picking Gouffran mind, no matter how shit he plays he's either starting or brought on as a sub whereas others have a marginally poor performance and they're dropped.

Doesn't bother you when you're the King.

They're a terrible fanbase, total and utter wank fans. Just constantly fucking moaning all the time, Wenger has been harried by the pricks for years and they've never been out the top 4 ffs. The fact Piers Morgan is a fan increases my dislike for them tremendously as well. Going to be a tough one today even with the injuries Arsenal have, hopefully Colo, Colback and Janmaat can put in performances like they did against Chelsea.

Newly crowned king of the month has declared Cabella still isn't ready for Premier league games, back to Gouffran for Arsenal then?

Steven Taylors comments from a few year back making the cut, he'll be getting a fresh orange layer on, whitening his teeth and puffing his chest out that millimeter more today.

Imagine if Colback scored the winner.

Nah he just went through the Sunderland school system

Aye this is bollocks, he isn't even at the club so he's similar to a player that is registered and injured. Odd that they registered a player who was going out on a season long loan anyway, not that they'd have thought we would be in this ridiculous situation.

The Sun (I know) are actually claiming Pardew is trying to get Schwarzer from them.

All the lower league teams in the draw and we get another Prem side away.

Aye, some of his defending for us was immense.

Class

Aye, he'll be on Danny Dyer's tough cunts soon enough.

Aye great piece that. The Inter point is especially valid, the difference in cost between his Inter side and that Barca side wasn't that big and he played like that. In comparison our starting eleven would have just about covered the cost of Fabregas, not far off wages as well. That sort of difference is why teams have to play counter attacking football against Chelsea, Man City, Man Utd etc, our lot didn't play spoilers like his Inter Milan side. Fwiw I thought his Inter team played it right over the two legs, just think it's massively hypocritical of him to moan about something that really wasn't all that negative when he has played spoiler plenty of times in his career. The other point I thought was cracking was about challenging the goalkeeper, we had a keeper I would feel comfortable calling Championship level in Eliot for the first half and then a 21 year old who has never played a game outside of the reserves for the whole second half and they were rarely challenged. Our ball boys didn't decide to start Obi Mikel, that was Mourinho, so when he was ballooning every ball that fell to him 30 yards out or closer into the concourse tunnels it was on Mourinho.

Aye, fuck him and Hartlepool. There's a massive build up on BBC and Sky anytime we play lower league teams in the cup, they're desperate for an upset and always are. I know Shearer going into the Blyth dressing room is a bit more than just building them up in pre-match coverage but howay those lads were already up a height for the game anyway he made fuck all difference. If we play Dagenham and Redbridge and Paul Merson ends up drunkenly stumbling into their dressing room and mumbles some encouragement then I promise not to moan. I think it's funny as fuck tbh as like others have said he gives Hartlepool massive backing anytime he gets the chance. Plus Hartlepool are bamps.

Pardew is useless against Poyet though for some reason, poyets had his number everytime we've had to play against his sides under Pardew.

Mourinho being a complete little bitch moaning about the ball boys . I don't think the time wasting was anywhere near as bad as he's going on, the ball seemed to be in play for more time than most of the recent matches I've watched. Miserable cunt.

Merson will be sobbing into his ten pints tonight.

Stoke 2 up against Arsenal now, the Sky crew are going to be fucking gutted.
