That's fucking crackers too then. I'm assuming he passed a fitness test before the game? What the fuck's going on man? Honestly...

Was it the same injury that forced him off today? Should have just played our back-up lef....

I'd go along with that.

I'm not singling Hughton out. I can't fathom out how Pardew continues to pick Lovenkrands at all, let alone on the wing. Hughton also played Guthrie out of position on the right of midfield and persisted with it. I'd forgotten about that one.

Very fine line between 'Experienced' and 'old'. His lack of agility is costing us goals more and more regularly. Needs replacing this summer. For good this time though.

The stuff I cut had no bearing on the mistakes I was talking about. Tactics, starting XI's and subs. You might not feel it has a bearing on what you originally referred to, and that's fair enough - it was afterall your point - but if you're looking at whether he displayed capabilities of learning/progression as a manager overall, it still counts. (Binning Perch and Smith from the starting line-up's isn't good management it's simply having the power of sight) Like starting Ranger over Loven? Or keeping our established RB Simpson in his correct position when our LB gets injured? Oh... Not picking the players who regularly let you down should be a given at any level of management. Playing Simpson out of position is barmy whoever does it. Not quite sure where you're going with this tbh.

He couldn't give a shit man. He's known he's a dead man walking since the WC and is just sitting tight until he gets sacked. At £6m a year I'd do exactly the same tbh.

Very similar to Hughton in that respect. He's now got 2 weeks to come up with something for Wolves who are on a bit a roll. Saturday 3pm kick off means I'm not too hopeful. Our 3 (winnable) remaining home fixtures are scarily close to the Boro, Pompey and Fulham fixtures we had at the end of the season we went down. Sincere question - to which mistakes do you refer? Negative tactics against shit opposition and dreadful use of subs were the main 2 annoyances for me. Some of his starting XI's were a bit too but not all of that was his fault. I'm not having a major pop at Hughton here either btw but he did make mistakes and didn't seem to learn from them.

That's the badger.

Still banned, innit? Ah yeah. Un-nail that one then.

Barton moved inside one and R. Taylor to start. Nailed on.

I'll meet you before the game or whack it in the post.

This is your game isn't it?

He's responsible for results and performances on the pitch and once again he fucked up. He deserves the criticism heading his way and he's got 2 weeks before he can put it right. Against Everton he dicked about with the back 4 and played players out of position and we deservedly lost. He then had 2 weeks to come up with a plan to deal with Stoke. This time he dicked about with the formation and we got smashed 4-0. He doesn't play the games himself but he picks the ones that do. He stands or falls by what happens on the park just as Hughton and any other manager does. It's now 1 win from 10 and the buffer is down to 4 points. Pardew's not beyond criticism and knew exactly what he was getting into. Lose against Wolves and we're in the shit up to our necks. A genuine 6 pointer and we'll play them without Tiote. Champion.

He trained yesterday, so hopefully this is just shit. doesn't looke like it Lockers75Justin Lockwood by milesstarforth Leon Best not in the squad for #Nufc Mint.

I think the loan deal suited everyone at the time. Villa got an unhappy player out of the club, maybe permanently. We signed a 'name' on the same day we sell our best player which helps to placate some of the angry fans. Ireland gets out of Villa and Birmingham and can try to impress Pardew in training and/or games to earn a contract.

We've only really been rolled over once this season at Bolton. Felt the same before that game as I do now. We could go there and grab a result but we're more likely to lose by 2 or 3.

Had the stripes gone over the shoulders normally then it would have been a canny shirt. Why do kit designers always try either way too hard or not at all? Umbro should have released 2 versions of the shirt - one with the black trim when they're in black shorts and one with white trim when they wear white shorts.

Something seriously wrong here like. This is just absurd now.

Liverpool weren't even the best team in Liverpool when they won the fucking thing.

Bet it was Midds. Nein. Although I would have had I got there first.

Carroll playing up top means it's too easy for the back 4 to just ping it up to him and hope for the best. The midfield is totally bypassed and he's become the focal point of their tactics. Fingers crossed the cunts on the Kop turn on him. With a bit of luck obviously.

GET IN OUT!!!
