Happy Face

There's not really any point in posting to any when you boil it down like that.

You have to add others as apps There are premium apps which you have to pay for but also free versions of youtube, Instagram, tumblr, stumbleupon etc. Slightly annoyed that the Google+ stream is only available if you're an organisation with a product page, not to integrate an existing personal account

Helpful hint if you do use it. I spent an hour adding all my old Google Reader feeds to it. Turns out you can export them from google reader... >Settings >Import/export >"Download your data through Takeout" >Create Archive Then import it to Hootsuite >Add Stream >Apps >Get more apps >Search on "RSS" >Add RSS Reader >Click the settings cog >OPML import tab >select the xml file created by the export from google and import. Unfortunately that just creates one long stream of all your subscriptions. I like to have a stream for news, one for comment, one for football, comics etc so if you want structure like that it's best just to subscribe to sites within each stream. But as a way to get all your feeds out of Google reader and stored somewhere else before it closes down, it's a good quick fix.

Not sure end of season drop off is anything to get worked up about. Seems assumed it will happen to Swansea and West Brom when they play Wigan. Don't think the results against the Mackems or Liverpool were that though.

Just been adding my social Networks to Hootsuite. Used Tweetdeck previously, but tended to be limited in how many sites it will integrate. Early impressions are Hootsuite is class...and not been mentioned on here. You can add Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Youtube, Google+ Wordpress, Blogger, Tumblr, Flickr, StumbleUpon and there's dozens more I've not looked through properly yet. You can post to multiple social networks at once too. http://hootsuite.com Tooj, it also has an RSS reder app, which I hope will still work once Google Reader goes tits up.

their next 3 games are against top half opponenets. They've only won 2 against top half opposition all year, never mind 2 in 3. I understand the worry, but it's odds on that Wigan are done.

Bookies Make Newcastle Favourites To Go Down After Wigan http://www.themag.co.uk/the-mag-articles/bookies-make-newcastle-favourites-to-go-down-after-wigan/ Some real dramatic headlines going on. "Bookies odds reflect table" doesn't have the same draw I guess.

Why don't you knock up a program that will analyse our answers to a questionaire, detect correlations and report on whichposters are alike?

They did it last year, won 7 of their last 9. But they haven't won any of their last 4, a similar run doesn't seem to be on the cards to me.

Wigan have never pulled back a 5 goal deficit with 4 games left. They've either been several points clear of the relegation spots with games left anyway, or when they have been in the relegation places at this stage, it's been with the same points as other teams that weren't.

Dunno why people think Wigan are suddenly going to shoot to the top of the form table.

He could play a fire breathing Dragon and Willow the Wisp as part of a 1-1-8 formation and not play a pass longer than 7.5 feet....when we lost embarrassingly you'd be on here saying "same old Pardew, refusing to make any changes, long balls and set up defensively"

I thought you'd had enough of repeating the same argument? Masochist.

The old players and the new are all suffering from a total lack of awareness of what's happening around them. If we're dropping players for being shit recently then there'll have to be a lot of u19s that start against West Ham. Get back to what we know and see the season out.

http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/fabricio-coloccini-set-lead-out-3306425 HBA has played the last 4 games running. He has to start sooner or later.

Colo has only played with Mbiwa twice before, both in Europe (Metalist). You'd have to play him with Taylor at a crucial moment like this, surely?....or Williamson.

To get all CT about it.... Elliot Simpson Coloccini Taylor Haidara HBA Tiote Cabaye Gutierez Ameobi Cisse Classic!

I'm swaying towards the idea that we should just get back to our bread and butter where possible and give anyone bought in January the luxury of impacting things from the bench if needed. I think we only need to rely on Haidara to start in Santon's absence, apart from that we should be able to put out a team that have played together for over a year and know each others strengths and weaknesses. Just put the old slippers on for a few games rather than trying to break in the new smart shoes that are causing blisters. Having Sissoko, Gouffran, Mbiwa and Debuchy on the bench is a lot more comforting when you need to change up at half time too.

Love that someone saw him on HIGNFY and thought that would do. Not even the most basic research of a bloke who's toured shows called "Pride & Prejudice...& Niggas", "Trophy Nigga" and more recently "a work in progress...& Niggas"

He HAS fucked up aye. You and Cabaye would not have done better though. Have you got this.... https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/football-manager-handheld/id580830559?mt=8 Perfect for your dream formations and hypothetical tactical solutions. Save us the pleasure

He's changed it every week this year man. He's tried moving Sissoko, Cabaye, Marveaux, Gouffran, Gutierez, HBA, Perch and Tiote backwards, forwards left and right. The problem is not that he won't try anything different it's that he tries something different week in and week out and the players have little clue and little practice in fulfilling a role they've been assigned. They have no idea from one game to the next who will be either side of them, where the pace will be or where the covering man will be. What he needs is a stable first 11, not more changes.

What I don't get is your shifting criticisms. Last season he played Ba out of position for a few games. We put in some canny performances set up like that but it caused discontent in the camp. We cruised into Europe though, so you called him a coward and a pacifier for not sticking to his guns. However unhappy the players are, he should make them do it. This season (largely out of necessity) he has also asked some players to play where they wouldn't normally. It has also caused discontent in the camp, but you're in support of the players this time, if they spit their dummies Pardew should pacify them. All of a sudden he should only ever play them where they are most comfortable. It's almost as if you make it up as you go along. Worst of all after complaining about the team being set up as it has been, you hoy up ANOTHER formation you've decided will be the dogs bollocks, irrespective of half the players in it not actually being available to Pardew in the real world.

Did the players do as they were told last season?
