OTF

Pardew brings on Gosling to placate the supporters.. .. ..

69th minute and a fair bit of movement in the stands.

Some confusion and anticipation of the 69th minute mark.

Pards playing the players who show more support for him I would imagine.

T1 -1 ....

And the Pardew Out Ashley Out Sheet is Out. #52SheetOut

Bellamy to come on in the 60th or 69th? Pardew subs left back again, tactical masterclass.

As someone so proficient in churning out excuses you'd think he'd have trotted out something a little better than that.

Perhaps Ben Arfa was merely trying to push Pardew away with his fists?

I'll walk out of my lounge room, to grab a drink.

Pardew's half time talk: "Right lads, let's do this for our bonuses"

So he did. I recall the goal, and yeah it does seem like an age ago. We were actually playing football back then.

Has Dummett done anything decent this season?

5 in 75 Premier League games for Shola. Egads...

Ameobi scores! Lovely cross in the end from Sissoko, and a good finish.

Nice run from Debuchy.

The second half of the season we've been pretending to play football with the participants pretending to be professional footballers. Form has dropped universally across the side.

Commentary referring to the walkout and the different times for it, that in itself is annoying. Fecking NUST bollocks.

Well said.

No.

This has garnered a fair amount of media coverage. It would be a shame if that momentum was not continued with an actual meaningful walk out at the game. Those there have the right to do whatever they want of course, but some don't appear to understand the motivation behind it, or otherwise don't have a problem with the way the club is being run. This has a chance of actually happening and if so showing some solidarity in the opposition to the way Ashley is running the club.

The minute is not important, it's the message. The 69 link is tenuous at best and stereotype confirming at worst. The silly part is changing it/confusing it for whatever reason. This only works if there is solidarity shown.

My understanding of the word was as a reference to idiots in charge. May be wrong though! The spelling got autocorrected on my phone.

Absolute idiocrasy to change the time.
