Just cannot get my head around this argument. What about the first-half then? Would have been interesting viewing without Gouffran and Sissoko on the field. For the record, I agree that Pardew is pants. Games don't last for one half though, that's Pardew's problem. His problem isn't necessarily getting the team playing, it's getting them playing for 90 minutes, it's getting them playing when we're behind and getting them playing when we're in front. When something actually happens on the pitch, them scoring, us scoring, a substitution, them making a pass, he absolutely shits himself. We are a million miles from being the worst team in the league but we're by far the least effective in terms of actually getting results relative to the squad. We'd actually be better with a load of cloggers because that's what he knows - that's why he picks Perch and Shola so consistently. This is two games in a row against, imo, the two worst teams in the league that we've lost one and deserved to lose the other having been winning without breaking sweat at half time. He's by far the worst manager in the league this season at actually getting points given what he has to work with. Nailed it.

Absolutely clueless. The sooner he leaves this club the sooner we can make progress on the park. This cunt is blocking us from getting results and moving forward, forget last season, this season his mis-management of his squad has been a fucking disgrace. Get the prick out asap.

Pardew needs to respond to the changes Lambert has made like. He's changed the game with his subs and Pardew needs to get his hand out of his arsehole and counter it.

villa were always going to come out with a different attitude. Got to hang in and ride it out for the next 10 minutes. We'll get chances as the half goes on but we've got to get a third, 2 isn't going to be enough.

Promise me you won't have any more to drink tonight, mate? Just a turn of phrase chap.

We've got our foot over their throat and we need to start stamping on it. Until it's fucking dead.

Must keep pressing for the second.

Picked it up so quickly.

Just win. Don't care how we do it, just fucking beat them. These 3 points are massive atm.

Krul Boosh Mbiwa Colo Santon Anita Cabaye Sissoko Marveaux Cisse Gouffran Throw them all in and ask them to attack as much as possible. Think Villa look a bit brittle and fragile and scoring first down there might see some heads go down. If we score first then we need to keep going fr the second and ideally the third, none of this sitting back and giving the opposition the initiative. That hasn't worked for a while. Be positive and fucking get at them.

Did too. Means 'good effort' in Uruguay.

With Sissoko in mf we'll have more control and hopefully pards will take the chains off. He'll have to, we need to win games as draws will just see us treading water. The personnel is in place to attack, and continue to attack, teams for 90 minutes.

Option 1: Green with bits of white Option 2: Green with fewer bits of white Option 3 : Mainly green with just a white trim. Take your time Plymouth...

Wasn't announced until 6.30pm today.....nothing regarding paperwork will hit the FA until Monday. Can they turn the documents around in 24 hours? Hope they can like obviously.

Won't have been registered in time. Will he?

Obertan.

Moving from a nervous 9 to a paltry 6. We're still in the shit right up to our necks. Aye, we've bought some good players but we need results immediately.

That puts Hazard out of our game doesn't it? Our ballboys can sleep easy tonight.

So this must be all of the Carroll money spent then? Only taken 2 years...

Undisclosed as normal, but about £7m. That's good going tbh. Dare say someone like Dawson would cost about the same if he were to move?

Any mention of the fee anywhere? Was it €8m?

Good stuff. Can't underestimate how much taking Williamson out of the back 4 is going to improve us. Heard lots of good things about Mbiwa and I've seen far too much of Mikey. Massive, massive upgrade with one stroke of a pen.

Born and raised in a pit village where the blokes are generally fucking tough cunts. You get used to mixing and mingling with some right hard bastards but Naples was something else like.

Rome's tremendous. Bit twitchy at night but it's a super place to go to. What do you mean by twitchy? I was planning to go there later this year. You need eyes in the back of your head after about 11pm. The whole place got a bit of needle as soon as the tourists were back in their hotels.
