Howay

........ . Then Debuchy, Krul and Colo hoy in transfer requests.

Errrrm.... aye you really got us there DC lover.

I'd love it to be Gosling, imagine losing the title to a goal scored by Dan Gosling. They'd never recover from that.

Spot on, the worrying thing is how early they just hoyed the towel. Of course we were safe but to pack in bothering that early on is shambolic. Aye I completely agree, logically there's nee chance but it would just be the final crimped off shite on top of the shite sandwich that is the last half of this season if the bong eyed brigade stayed up.

Aye sadly if the game actually matters we'll lose by double figures.

Aye they really are ruining the Mackem relegation tour, in fact they're making it so bad there's still a nagging worry that the mackems might pull off some Houdini act and survive. That's it like MT totally unforgivable, we just roll over under Pardew tbh I don't know the stat but our ability to come back from a goal down is horrific. It's scary that this run shows how much we really were depending on Cabaye and Remy, but what keeps bothering me is can the players we have now really be this bad? and if it's just that they can't be arsed it really worries me how little pride they have in themselves.

http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/27005481 He's so fucking boring, a couple of wins doesn't change anything tbh we've still suffered 3 or more goal defeats 8 times this season. The fact he keeps banging on about Remy is a large part of the problem, it's clear now he's all we have, if he doesn't play we don't score and we don't have him come next season. We won't finish 10th now, Stoke at least will finish above us and there's a chance West Ham can overtake us too, so we've also failed to meet their very conservative targets of a top 10 finish. I must admit I'm not arsed about us finishing top 10, 10th or 11th makes no difference really it's still mid table mediocrity, the upside is none of these useless twats get an undeserved bonus for finishing top 10. It's disgusting to think we could very easily end the season with 10 losses by 3 or more goals, it's unacceptable. Teams that get relegated don't even suffer that ffs, it's over quarter of the season.

Saw that on Facebook, the comments were full of raging Liverpool fans screaming on about the Sun and how they will unlike the group now for supporting it, all without realizing it's a different newspaper despite multiple people mentioning it.

Yup, I don't understand Gosling over Bigirimana at all, Bigi has looked a very capable player pretty much everytime I've seen him whereas Gosling has looked like an absolute nothing player every time. Bigi is also far younger, Gosling can't claim to be a youngster anymore tbh at 24 he should pretty much be a regular starter (I know there are some exceptions but 24-28 is pretty much middle aged as a prem player), I think they said this was his 3rd prem start for us what's the point? Bigirimana has real potential imo and we're risking stunting it to play a bog standard championship player like Gosling, unless we're playing him to 'put him in the shop window' but even so we're probably decreasing his value by playing him.

What a bunch of useless knackers our lot are man, from top to bottom. The fact we're still starting utter shite like Dan Gosling and Shola Ameobi shows how much of a cockend Pardew is, I'd rather play lads like Bigirimana and Armstrong now to give them some game time instead of people who clearly aren't going to be here much longer. Why not play Ben Arfa? to keep it tight? we're getting battered every fucking week without him in the side anyway and not scoring so we may as well play him, why torture the fans even more by playing Dan fucking Gosling, how that lad has made it to this level of the game is shocking.

You'd think he was Iniesta the way they're banging on about him. We're so dull tbh, Stoke aren't much better mind.

Dan Gosling doing brilliantly again there according to him "broke well from midfield and almost met it" so jogged into the box and was nowhere near it. That was a horrifically dull 45 minutes, honestly we might as well play that Armstrong lad to give him a run especially as sholas contract is up soon.

Shocking that like

Aye said it a few times. The only thing he's done is miss an absolute sitter

Can we just sub him off and rip his contract up ffs. What a complete shambles

Aye you just fill a form in online, it might charge for it now (been a while since I done it) but it lasts for 3 year. https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/esta/ That's the site for it iirc. Then like Gemmill says you fill some stuff in on the plane, I think it's the I-90 where you fill in where you will be staying and stuff and then a customs declaration form. All simple stuff, thanks to the Visa Waiver.

Is that article really implying he'd be the Cabaye replacement fucking hell.

Aye that's about the only thing it can be. Just hope they stay down there this time tbh.

Aye, there's a very good chance they'll hold onto Barry (unless Martinez has an improvement lined up). Delofeu and Lukaku will be tough to hold onto due to the former's desire to stay at Barca and the latter's pricetag, but like Ewerk says the CL will make them far more attractive and Martinez's system will also be a draw as it makes good footballers shine. They sold Fellaini but brought in McCarthy who was far cheaper and fits Martinez's system really well, whereas our plums sold Cabaye then had a look for a player that is a replica of him after we sold him. We don't really have a system under this nob, we just seemed to rely on Cabaye's ability to make things work and now without him we look lost. That's what worries me the most about Pardew, players like Sissoko and Anita clearly are talented lads and we see brief flashes of it but they look fucking abysmal and completely clueless at the moment. The production Laudrup got out of players like Routledge shows the value of having a system, we just look to be taking the field without any direction and tbh we even looked that way a lot when we were doing better earlier in the season.

Aye if they genuinely think they can buy 1 or 2 and survive the drop they're even more inept than I thought possible. I can't see how anyone could sit and watch the rabble at the minute getting hammered every week and think they only need 1 or 2 to turn it around. Messi would struggle with this bunch of fucking losers. We need 2 strikers, at least 1 centre back, a full back (2 if debuchy leaves) a creative central midfielder and probably a winger as well. Of course we won't get anywhere near to that but to sit and say 1-2 they're having a laugh.

See Bruce is still getting a fair amount of the blame, saying he signed most the shit they're lumbered with and therefore is to blame. Seems harsh tbh it's been a fair while since he was there and they've signed a lot of players since he left.

He could do a job here like.

Agreed, that's a more accurate picture. Kenwright has a genuine love for the team and wants to watch good football and have the team push for Europe, whereas Ashley is mostly concerned with simply staying in the league. We really need a manager with a good system and picks players to go into that system and as a result gets more out of them. It seemed like Pardew had that early on when he seemed to be able to rely on his defence, condense the field and get more out of players like Perch and Obertan (mainly during that 11 game unbeaten run), but unfortunately that's clearly fell apart.

Reinforces my other point then, and shows the impact a good manager has. I was also meaning more they're happy to work to improve their side most windows even if they aren't spending much. Whereas our lot have tended to be happy with the side and tried to go without signing anyone.

Yup, his spinelessness has translated to the team.
