midds

So West Ham got an early goal and kept on attacking? Fucking idiots.

I actually think Pulis and Sunderland are quite a good match. He would get them organised and the fans would respond to the graft and work-rate that he'd insist on. Wouldn't be pretty to watch but winning ugly is still winning at the end of the day. Actually hope they don't get him.

Apart from Man United (who played another) every team who played in midweek won. http://i.imgur.com/gaG3ArG.gif

Aye, nee bother marra, al purrabirra shadin init feryer. There yergan, sewnd.

I've stuck by him and waited for him to start firing for months now. We know he can score, we know he can finish chances but looks completely bereft of confidence. I'd drop him and start Gouffran. Not the ideal solution obviously and we should have had another choice at CF but we don't, because we didn't invest.

You may not have been there yesterday but I can guarantee you've seen very similar games over the last couple of years. Same old story, same bloke in the dugout unable to do anything to get the initiative back once his team had surrendered it.

Dopey set of cunts. Absolutely no cutting edge and no idea as to how to break it down. Sen this far too often now like.

Neville's spot on. Scholes was utterly superb.

Listening to Carragher is so fucking painful man.

Credit where it's due he picked the right team and sent them out to actually win the game. Should be automatic for all managers really but he got it right today and I hope he persists with this formation and mindset. Well done Pardew.

Immediate counter question should have been "so why have the results and performances been so abject?" He's responsible for both and getting poor results from a good side speaks volumes about his lack of ability to manage this football team.

I'm horrified of Benteke like. If he plays well then we'll lose by a couple.

Don't believe for a second we were genuinely interested in signing him. Had everything been agreed then he would have 'failed' the medical a la Maiga and the deal would have been off. We threw bids in and strung it out but had push come to shove then we'd have found a reason and backed out regardless. Small-time cunts, man. Zero expenditure, zero ambition.

Less money through the turnstiles would mean more players sold to make up the shortfall imo. He simply doesn't give a fuck. I'm up for the idea of driving him out but don't think a boycott would be particularly effective.

Don't believe a single word they say/write. Not got any faith in them to do what's required either.

So do I, the game is for charity and that's all that should matter. Mostly this but I wouldn't be too disappointed if someone nailed him.

Always irked me that the poll starts from 1 rather than 0. 10% increments ftw.

And yet we managed to sign 5 in about a week in January when the shit was about to hit the fan. Funny that... Strange that signing players becomes a lot easier when there's a bit of urgency/need. Very odd.

Seriously tempted to just jack it in February. If the owner isn't prepared to invest my money then what's the fucking point of giving the club it in the first place man? Cunts can fuck off.

Obviously managed to open the iron gates first.

Guaranteed he'll be spinning the old "we managed to hang on to our key players this window and that's very important for this club, trust me. We had bids for our better players but were strong enough to turn them down because we're building something here. Mike deserves credit for that because not all owners would have been strong enough to say 'no, I want to keep this player'. We're in good shape and we've also managed to secure Loic, don't forget, who'll give us that something extra." blah, blah fucking blah. It's patronising, pre-meditated pigshit and anyone who swallows a single bit of it needs to be fucking sectioned. They never had any intention of spending a single penny this window. They're absolute scum, the whole fucking lot of them.

I dare you...

If they have no intention of spending any/much money on investing in the squad then there's absolutely no reason why he needs to be here. He seems to be the only one at the top of the club even remotely good at his job and I'd rather his judgement was backed but sadly that's not the case. He's not the problem but I'm not sure how much longer he'll put up with being snubbed by Ashley. He finds the players, the owner ignores him. How can that continue?

I'd like to know what exactly we did with our lump of TV cash from last season then. Because we've barely spent a bean...
