No doubt, Tiote's performances were key when we were doing well. Also be interesting to see who is dropped when Tiote and Remy return. Anita, HBA or De Jong? Knowing Pardew he'll probably stick Remy back upfront and drop De Jong.

Aye. Hope this can change when Remy and Gouffran return on either wings with De Jong up front.

Probably right considering he hasnt had a single decent chance in his first game and a half.

Absolutely nowhere. Get used to it.

Games like these used to hurt once. Thanks for making me numb Ashley. Impressed with Sammy. Has some skill and tried hard

Marveaux is beyond pathetic. Gave the ball away then stood and watched. Then missing a sitter

FFS Mbiwa.

What does it matter. Finding it hard to be arsed about this.

Why the hell wont we play Mbiwa?

Shocking stuff this

Fulham seem nailed on, apart from that its hard to say. Im ttill hanging onto the hope Stoke and Sunderland will get dragged into it.

Easy 3-0 stroll for them.

Fan bloody tastic

Amidst all this talk of whether you ought to attend matches or not can I just butt in and say you guys are fucking lucky to have the choice?

I agree with this. While all of Cisse's down turn in fortunes may not be attributable to his stint on the wing, I think it was a definite factor. You also have to wonder what was going on behind the scenes at the time and what it did for his confidence. Mind you it still didnt stop him from almost single handedly winning us some games towards the end of last season, and thus saving our arse from relegation. Just befuddles me whats gone on with him this year, it simply has to be something more than a sudden loss of form.

"A squad that just keeps getting better"

Wont really make a difference as long as the fat one is here, but at least's its one less idiot to deal with.

Im trying not to like them too much, as they're likely to suffer the same fate as Dortmund.

Thats just because the media arent interested in that mate. Once they're done with getting Pardew to offer his players for sale in public, they'll come around to Ashley. Its just the bloody media

CT talking about boycott

Oh dear just what has Kolo Toure done there?

Aye, I agree with that. If we had to keep one striker happy at that time, it should have been the one that didnt have the release clause in his contract.

Training day to day with the likes of Shola in the striking department, he'll feel like bloody Van Basten in no time.

We know Taylor will never be dependable. I say before every game Mbiwa should be starting ahead of him. But the thing with Santon is a lot of us had high hopes for him. I just dont see him going on to become a good full back. He's soft and weak in the tackle, gets beaten way too easily and going forward lacks the final product. I'd love it if he can prove me wrong. At the moment I'd start both Haidara and Dummet ahead of him.

Another thing that we've often talked about before, is the manner of defeat under Pardew isnt it? If we went down fighting most of us wouldnt mind. But we just completely bottle it and end up embarrassing ourselves when things are not going well.
