He's out of form. He's lacking confidence. He isn't shit. He's still the best we've got though, and no other option other than Shola.

We thought we'd lose everyone last time to be fair. I see your point, but I think that there was a large sense of guilt from a lot of our players who felt they owed us to stay and get us back up- plus, I think a lot of them had been so poor no one would touch them, especially on the insane wages they were on. This time its slightly different, our current squad (or best 11) absolutely shits on the other team the 08/09 team, imo. Bar the obvious Williamson and Simpson, there aren't many players this season where you can say they've been terrible. If Pardew's still here next season then there is no way any of our good players will stick around. Your last line is key. There's absolutely no way we can keep Pardew and expect things to come good.

Sorry, but that's nonsense. Our players/squad is more than capable of finishing in the top half of the premiership. It's the manager who isn't. well we have half a squad of championship players. So do a lot of Premiership sides. There's not a chance in hell you could claim we're building a squad for the championship. Our problem is the club don't want to pay the wages of more than 14/15 top class players, not that they're aiming to win the Championship.

I have huge faith in the team, and no faith in the manager. I only hope the players get together and just completely ignore what he tells them.

To me it's more sickening that we can't do that. Chelsea and Man City fans I know are happier than I am each weekend.

That's one of the problems with sacking him. Any replacement would expect a Premier League salary. Adkins wouldn't. Probably get more money off Blackpool tbh. Adkins was on £200,000 a year at Southampton, and that was in league one! Jesus, thinking about it, Scunny paid him £100,000 a year. Pardew must be one of the lowest paid manager's in history!

That's one of the problems with sacking him. Any replacement would expect a Premier League salary. If that's true, I can't see him ever getting sacked tbh. Would anyone else come in on that kind of money? *cough*

In the championship? Absolutely.

That was amazing. Bumbling fool had no clue what to do with it. It's like when my dog sees another dog in the park [excited]a dog, a dog, a dog, a dog, a dog[/excited] Gets up to the other dog [scared] shit!! a dog, a dog, a dog[/scared] Runs away from the other dog

Fact is, had Keegan not resigned, we would almost certainly been one of the big 4. he resigned because we didn't have the money for him to carry on the way he wanted. Being in the champions league every season would have funded his spending Once a quitter....

Santon will prove to be one of our best ever defenders as soon as we get a decent manager in.

You made that up?

Pointless today. As bad as Jonas.

Because most people on here only watch Premiership football, and missed the last 5 years watching Adkins' sides play good football.

Yeah let's blame a player put in a position he's never played in and has no ability to play in at all and not the idiot who put said player in position. watch the match? I watched it. Cisse should have scored at least once. However, it's not his fault he has no confidence, it's Pardew's.

He's fantastic in the air. One of his main strengths.

Adkins. Future England manager though.

Not possible.

Now DEFEND !!!! NO MORE GOALS!

When has Ashley ever done the expected?
