I cant bring myself to watch the video. Surely beyond help now.

Why is he a tool? Always gave 100% imo. Fair enough he thinks he is better than he actually is.

Aye. I used to be a fitness nut all my life. Wasnt to bothered about what I ate too much as I did so much exercise. Having said that the more exercise you do the healthier you eat. I can see how it can get rather obsessive but I loved a good drinking session at the weekend and all the trimmings that go with it (kebabs etc) so never crossed that line. 6 pack or 8 pack. Does it really matter? Due to injury, I've had to retire from major exercise now and although I dont eat a giant chocolate cake (nor do i calorie count) everyday I have fairly balanced diet. Thats probably drilled into me by my parents. I was never allowed chocolate or "pop" before lunch time although, like J69 I had sandwhiches, choc bar, crisps and fruit in my packed lunch

Defoe out is a bonus.

Debuchy hasnt got to complete grips with the PL yet. He has been skinned quite a few times. This could be quite a tricky game for him to deal with. Bale is class though so he'd trouble any fullback to be honest.

Its amazing what a couple of wins can do.

Williamson knows what he is capable of. Simpson thinks he is brilliant.

158 pages on losing weight. What has happened to us?

True. You can throw facts around but he has been playing absolutely dreadful this season. If you'd never seen him play before you'd think he was 4th tier player. Thats not to say he is finished of course. Most players have a dreadful patch.

He offers nothing to the team at the moment. The amount of times he was overlapped yesterday and didnt help Santon was crinimal - if you're saying he is in the team to give us defensive cover/workrate. And where has his powerful trademark runs gone? You could guarantee a couple of excellent runs down the wing which brought a foul in the opposition and this relieved a bit of pressure.

To be fair, I think you said in the match thread he should be hauled off.

To be fair, if we play shit in the first half then good in the second then Pardew normally gets a pat on the back for a good teamtalk. Works both ways. However, I suspect the players thought the game was won and psychologically took their foot off the pedal. Its quite difficult to get the intensity back after this happens.

Looked very impressive in the first half. Good range of passing, skill and power. Looks the real deal. He certainly has the attributes.

Shola playing CB now. FFS.

Jonas has to be subbed. HAS TO BE.

Worst second half ive seen for years. Getting absolutely bummed off this shower of shit.

What the fuck are be bringing shola on for...

Debuachy is getting a royal bumming off Abonglohar here.

If you put any sort of pressure on us, you'll get results. They'come out at 100 miles an hour. We just need to soak this up then get back in the game slowly.

Collapse is on the cards here.

Is Marveux injured? Surely must be.

He is also crap. Nice bloke though.

Easy to say we are safe now, but thats miles away from the truth. Some of these players may need a year to settle. However, I do have a feeling in my bones that Cisse is going to smash them in soon.

Doubt its Pardews list....

Any idea whats going on? He ha another 3-4 years before he retires to the argie league.
