Couldn't give a monkeys about this one, if Cardiff are bad enough to lose to our rabble they deserve to go down. Pardew should have done enough to be sacked by now, first time we've lost 6 in a row since 1986-87 apparently, if we play anything like what we've been doing recently we can't possibly get any points from this.

We only have 5 points more than last season iirc. I am shocked if that's considered enough improvement after the end of season "showdown talks" they had last season, I know this is Ashley but anyway they look at it Pardew really should be gone. He even sounds like a bloke about to lose his job now.

I hope Ashley is watching these 2 panning us but he's probably watching game of thrones.

Did Pardew really just say "the lads showed good character going out in that second half, after the run we've had." What? as opposed to just stopping in the changing room.

4-0 losses are the new 1-0 loss. He promised to improve us after last season, and we're 5 points better off with 2 and a half games remaining so he's done his job.

Pardew did say we can't control the result only the performance, so we're in full control of this absolutely pathetic performance.

To be fair Giroud and Ozil were both offside when the ball came to them.

Aye Pardewed is a good reason, he's also playing as left back and left winger as he's marking Cazorla. Dummett seems more concerned with wandering around near Williamson than marking his man the League one shitter.

Aye, but that merit seems to be their scrabble playing ability if Dummett and Gosling have also earned their positions on merit.

He suits this level mind, and by this level I mean the level of being hammered 4-0 every week.

And Gabriel Obertan would give us an attack down the wings?

There's one saying 'Next excuse Pardew?'

Normally I feel more and more like watching the game, but for this one I'm feeling less and less like watching it the closer it comes to kick off.

Nee eating that then.

Fed up of watching Dummett and Gosling like, would far rather Haidara and Bigirimana tbh. He's got pretty much everyone available for this one so when we lose 5-0 I wonder what the excuse will be.

Was it Gazza that done similar when he was playing for Spurs against us and having Mars bars hoyed at him? Good on Alves, the quote MT posted from him is class as well.

Shelvey's a canny player tbh, but Swansea paid 6m for him didn't they? and he's had a decent season so they'll want at least that, can't see us spending more than 8m on a player so it doesn't leave too much room for negotiation.

I think it's a bit of a mix, some are really shit, some are average but really inconsistent. I just think the teams are a poor standard this year, I'm still shocked we could finish top 10 after losing 19/20 games. The Premiership is normally one of the harder leagues to predict, but this season has been very bizarre, it also feels like the points are spread more evenly than normal as it's only something like 9 points between 20th and 12th (maybe 11th I can't remember). There has been a lot of managerial changes aye, some odd ones too as I don't really feel Swansea, Cardiff and Norwich have gained a great deal from theirs.

He's a right cockend. Arsenal are far from being some unbeatable force, of course us fans can talk about how we stand no chance but to hear the manager come out and say it before a game is shocking.

Depressingly true.

This season's been shite tbh, not just because we're shit but just the standard has seemed low. The media keep acting as if it's been an unbelievable season because of the 3 horse race for the title but they've all had chances to make it their own but just keep slipping up. Ferguson must regret retirement a little as I could easily see him having at least 7 more wins by this point and comfortably be challenging. Meanwhile over half the league is utter dogshit, we're 9th and could very realistically end the season top 10 with 19 or even 20 losses. Sunderland will stay up, the Everton - Man City game is obviously the key game for the title now, if Man City win I can see them winning their last two and the title unless there is an 11 goal winning margin for Liverpool against us. What a crap season it's been.

This, the man is completely incapable of coaching players.

Obviously Ashley selling up would boost my excitement again. But failing that Pardew has to go, even if we spend £20-30m I can't get excited with that utter tosser in charge. He basically insults or undermines the fans/city/club in some way most weeks, and tactically he's clueless. Him going is the absolute minimum I expect, if neither leave I cant see myself being excited at all.

We need shot of this spineless wanker. I've never seen a manager concede defeat so often before games.

Dan Gosling will step up big to crush Gerrard's dream.
