How is that not a yellow?

Gosling on for Ben Arfa. Can only assume Pardew is trying to save his legs for the Wednesday home match.

What the heck was M'Biwa doing...

That could have been very embarrassing...

That's the way they play.

Pretty much. That was a lovely goal from them though... Fair shot of the title for them I would say.

Hats off there...

There's no way you can say that that's the best you'll see of him. His biggest weakness is his mental fortitude and decision making, two things that should feasibly improve over time.

Excellent start mate, next time I assume you'll actually use the equipment instead of just standing/sitting on it watching the TV and the arses of those in front of you?

One would hope that this is a very real indication to Mike Ashley that many many people are not happy with the direction that he is taking this club. If he has any mid-long term ambition to hang around, in the interest of maintaining the value of his asset he would be churlish not to make funds available in the summer to bring in a number of new players. It won't of course change his outlook on conducting business, but it will at least add sufficient anticipation and excitement for supporters who at the end of the day ultimately just want to be entertained watching their club. They've got it wrong if they think that you need to bring in better players to improve your team. Whilst that will undeniably have that same effect you can improve the morale and effort and therefore performance of your existing players just by bringing in some fresh team members of decent enough quality.

This is on Hulu, but only the second season. So, starting from S2, yay or nay?

I'd say he's resigned as he's finally realised he was there as nothing more than a scapegoat. I'd imagine he felt completely pointless and ineffectual, which you could argue he could have been worse than that if given any actual real control over personnel. I'd like to think that this is a sign that despite all of his obvious shortcomings Joe Kinnear as a man actually has some self-respect.

Absolutely. Some good actors in it but what started as an interesting concept quickly went to shit and continued as a non-stop avalanche of steaming turd.

I know someone involved in that, bit of a hard bastard but you can break him down easy enough.

Yep, really appears that it matters little which puppet is in the management position. If they're not a yes man they'll be shown the door, and if they are then they're just another shit talker.

Dagnabbit.. and just when we were within arms reach of that coveted silverware...

So true. Don't make him think.

I'm completely and utterly embarrassed that I waste any time supporting this Football Club under the ownership of Ashley.

There is nothing left to hope for, nothing to watch for. Why do we do it?

That was atrocious from Ben Arfa. That Colbeck kid lives playing us.

I'd say in a further turn of football genius Ashley's already sold them.

Marveaux coming on, hopefully that means he's finally got that heart he's been on the donor list for.

True. He is second highest scorer out there.

Paul Dummett set to come on. Real game changer there. At least Santon is off.
