adios

Agree. Needs to be given post-Pardew time before being judged. Little signs he can come good.

Yeah meant to say before the start, Gouffran was utter shit under Pardew's stewardship, but I (we?) thought he was a decent option as a forward before that. Not like he's had a great game, but he's been average as opposed to utter dogshit. Same names in the lineup, but obviously been told to actually play football. Totally different side.

tyty. happy enough to have paid for the nz option so far.

Clearly has pictures of Colo, Carver and Pardew in flagrante delicto.

Just signed up for that premierleaguepass thing J recommended. Crisis averted.

Wiziwig's gone Where the fuck else do I find decent AceStream streams?

Thank God Gouffran's starting.

I'd rather give Coloccini a go tbh.

Can't believe this thread got to 6 pages when the argument can be settled in literally one word - Gouffran.

3) Playing shite football and losing 4-0 to teams you should be beating.

So can we start celebrating yet?

Drop Cabella? He's barely played him.

Funnier than Fish too, he's going to be livid.

Would he not bring attractive football? Don't like him either like, but he might be the best of a bad bunch.

Defo on the look out for a manager that makes teams difficult to beat

Some of us manage to disagree with you without calling you a fucking idiot/cunt.

TheGoslingBeast deserves some kind of award.

Wow, it never even occurred to me that that post wasn't taking the piss.

"How are it" sounds like something out of Pardew's vernacular.

It suggests he's a lot more pissed off with the situation than he states publicly, which is very believable. Will be very interesting to see what he says as an ex employee.

I agree. It took me way longer than most to turn on him. And of course he can't be as bad as made out, emotion gets in the way of looking objectively at any plus points. But you have to admit his huge failings. He has zero tactical nous or creativity. Faced with a third rate keeper and a makeshift defence, what does he do? Play a style that puts pressure on the back 5 for the whole match. All while hoofing the ball up to circus midgets. Even at home vs mediocre opposition. He plays negative defensive football and still manages to lose 3 or 4 nil on a regular basis. Even during the recent positive results, he played the same shitty tactics and got pretty lucky in at least half the matches. Playing backs against the wall stuff on a bad run is one thing, sticking to the same nonsense with a few wins under your belt is another.
