See, THIS is where HBA would be great but I see Shola warming up why is Shola warming up why

Ankle or knee? shit, knee :[

I like how people on this forum are able to selectively turn off the ability to interpret hyperbole. edit: not mmr75

Having a shocker! Confidence looks shot. You can tell from his body language he's away in the summer + isn't getting enough vitamins B12+D3 in his diet.

Would rather forfeit our remaining games than not play him tbqh.

Cabaye's been quiet.

Santon's definitely looked a worthy successor. Not to Enrique's level yet obviously but I've liked what I've seen of him.

God I hate Karl Henry. Apropos of nothing, just putting that out there before a shitty tackle.

Holy fuck Jonas

Colo with a teflon arse

I just want us to win and if Pardew thinks we stand a better chance of that without HBA starting or that his inclusion might be detrimental to the gameplan he wants to go with, so be it. His record backs him up on this. HBA Starts: 1W1D3L HBA Subs: 5W1D2L HBA Doesn't play: 4W1D2L (league results only) Not that this will do a damn thing to stop a Category IV Cryphoon from slamming into N-O every time he doesn't start but just think about it.

Ah, i see what you did there. I do like him but I have no reasonable way of separating the wheat from the chaff when it comes to the stories of why he's not getting picked. It's either assume he's doing everything in his power to be selected and Pardew's ignoring him or HBA is voluntarily not holding up his end on something and gets dropped. or it might just be that HBA doesn't fit very well into Pardew's game style? For the majority of the games we've played we've generally played fast, pressing football with the ball going long from the back. You can understand why Ryan Taylor might be more suited to it than Ben Arfa in that sense. Possibly although I'd like to do a thorough review and determine just how much "hoofball" we really play before agreeing on what is and isn't his style. That aside, my take is that if Pardew's comments about HBA needing to show more are genuine - the bizarre alternative being that they're just smokescreens and he won't pick him unless desperate - then he probably does want to play him.

For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Hatem that those who believeth in him shall not perish but receive eternal life.

I'm sure Derek and Mike thought this would all be taken very well. What could happen to a bare brick wall after an aggravating move like that?

I think he's secretly hoping Branson will buy the club tbh.

Would it though? Not that I'm eager to see it renamed The Virgin Arena or something but why would any cannons of fan ire stop firing on the S.S. Ashley and swivel towards the sponsors? "At least it's not the godawful SportsDirect arena" has to count for something .

Milan stomping on Cesena. Cesena should be in it actually but can't finish for shit; what happened to Iaquinta?

lol as if any opinion other than "change anything at any time" or "change nothing ever" is anything but an arbitrary personal opinion between those two extremes and not worth haranguing someone over or trying to lead them down a rabbit hole of hypothetical situations. Not that anyone's doing that mind, just applying a little hyperbole to an already agitated situation like the cool guy I am.

Shhhhhh. It's actually annoying me how badly they clash I mean, signage is going to happen, might as well make it look good.

Those signs are so small and shit it's mind boggling. At least make it classy and have giant fuckoff marquee across all the columns or something.

The beatings will cease once morale improves.

Seems to be oddly placed.
