Colback getting the call to play for England is a sad indictment of the state of English football. He played well against City without pulling any trees up but I've seen very little to suggest he could make the step up into International football. I'd be saying the same regardless of who he plays for too. He's a decent, steady player without being exceptional in any area, no more.
He could change his name to Sir Alex 'I'm class' Ferguson and I'd still hate the prick. Winning a pot won't make him a good manager. It's fucking moot anyway.
Was just about to mention the same thing. He's quite happy to personally take the credit for the wins but he'll point the finger at anyone/anything he can when we lose. One of the most loathsome of his many character faults. He's essentially spineless and without any courage whatsoever. He's scum.
What's worse than losing regularly, struggling badly to score, giving up trying to win a trophy and consistently failing to entertain the fans? We've shown relegation form for months, how much worse could the next bloke do than Pardew?
Pardew walking because of the abuse is more likely than Ashley sacking the prick. He's survived a near-relegation, abysmal runs of results and performances and headbutting opposition players so he's safe as houses. Needs to be driven into his dugout and made to stay there until he just gives up.
'Solid', we was solid. Maybe 'resolute' will get an airing? Definitely 'tough game', 'made it difficult' and 'showed character/professionalism and desire'.
Pardew bingo is more entertaining than the fucking match.
He'll know no fucker has actually seen it happen though. He'll bullshit his way through it like he always does, safe in the knowledge the gullible bastards will believe every word he says.
If he doesn't fancy them against fucking gillingham then what was the point in signing them at all? Potentially the easiest fixture of the season and he leaves them out.
Wouldn't be quite as galling if we actually invested the tv money they so desperately crave. They get all this money from the new tv deal and do precisely fuck all with it. We make the league a priority so we can make money, not invest it. The only thing that benefits from the tv cash is the bank balance.
They're fucking arseholes, the lot of them.
