Ian agreeing with the wind up post. Amazing. :lol:

Tonight's the worst I've felt whilst he's been manager. A suicidal team selection for no reason other than to massage this cunt's massive ego. Fucking scum.

I'm finished with him. At best, completely pointless but might get a tap in, at worst a complete liability. He's kept on for ninety minutes because he runs round a bit, then he ambles back and watches Osman score with no attempt to close. Got absolutely no time for pointless footballers like him whilst we're in the Premier League. Come back if we go down and you might get a game.

Ben Arfa will be introduced at 0-2 and take most of the post match blame.

Cowardly wet wank.

We've had three games since getting to 40 btw. A good away win, a dreadful away defeat and a scraped home win. We've not played anyone in the top half, and the defeat was to the worst side in the league. Makes me so proud. :'( Even if Jackanory were telling the truth, what is the significance of 40 points in this scenario? Does Daft Lad send him a letter () at ten point intervals or something?

What was it written in?

Gouffran's got six this season. In terms of goals from midfield and little else, he's not even Kevin Nolan.

A lot more goals? He hasn't scored for three months. As for similar assists.

He doesn't piss anyone off cos he doesn't do anything. He's got that down to a fine art. Gouffran aside, if Sissoko, who laid on at least two extremely good chances yesterday and scored twice the week before, offers nowt, what does de Jong offer?

Rather the wrong decision than no decision like Gouffran. Seen him play some blinding four yard passes to Tiote tbf. Some of our fans would be delighted just to see the back four pass it amongst themselves. No possession lost, nothing created, job's a good 'un.

Fucking hell.

If Barca had Mike Williamson, they'd still be winning. Facts.

Hopefully we'll buy a whole new squad in the summer then and keep your man, and we'll definitely batter them. So naive, I don't even like Pardew ffs. Players have to take a huge responsibility for what happened in both derbies this season. Less than half of the team that got beat 3-0 last season played when we got beat 3-0 again this season. There were a few players in the 2-1 who didn't play in either. How have we ended up with all these losers worse than sunderland's players?

They could say the exact same tbf. Absolutely they could. But we've chosen not to take advantage of the opportunity. + Cabaye + 1 Cabella/Grenier or something + Different Manager in this season and we should be fighting it out with Everton IMO If we'd taken 6 points off sunderland, we'd be 2 behind Everton with a game against them on Tuesday night. I'd class that as "fighting it out". We didn't need new players to achieve that, just an absence of sheer cowardice from the manager against one of the worst teams in the division would have been fine. Not the players fault that they can't motivate themselves against Sunderland? Fuck all to do with motivation. Ki didn't look very motivated in the last hammering they gave us. Saw him yawning at one point. Anita and Santon were well motivated anyway. That's why they kept roaring into ridiculous tackles left, right and penalty area.

We should be ahead of both Man United and Spurs, and would be with a real manager.

Cheers man, web link here: http://www.fourfourtwo.com/statszone/8-2013/matches/695207 Good little resource that, along with Whoscored.

I agree, I'm just not sure he has the positional sense to enable him to get on the end of chances the way Cisse does. Parroting Big Al from MOTD here but a striker missing chances is far less of a worry than a striker not getting near them.

He wasn't even particularly good today but he's always involved, love that too. Shame the shot that hit the crossbar didn't go in. Might scroll the thread back to the moment he was taking the freekick as I didn't watch the game live. Must have been epic. :lol: It's just that involvement from a central midfielder that I love, I appreciate Palace would hardly have been pressing us high up. 155 touches is insane. The stats are eerily similar to an article I read raving about Cabaye for PSG against Leverkusen. Anita's stats anywhere? I thought he was outstanding today as well - he was really driving and trying to make something, anything happen. He and Tiote were my standout players for the 90 minutes. 119 touches, 96 passes, 89% completion. His passes are noticeably higher up the pitch on average than Tiote's as you would expect, more passes in the final third than any other player (37 attempts, 28 completed) and 62 of this attemped passes were going forward (compared to Tiote's 66) . those two beginning to look good together, well, apart from the absolute lack of creativity. Where are those stats from, out of interest?

Agree with this. Always find myself thoroughly bemused at the criticism he gets. He's involved in almost everything we do going forward as the only midfielder (that starts) who is even vaguely capable of creating anything. With that amount of responsibility it's hardly surprising that he doesn't do everything right given that he's not even playing in his own position but has been reinvented as a winger in the complete absence of anyone else who can do the job (apart from Hatem Ben Shitbag but we don't talk about him).

He didn't though. That's kind of the point. He wasn't on the pitch for those big ones in the 2nd half. That was my point. He's started five games and hasn't had a clear cut chance yet. It's not looking too clever, especially when Cisse who's supposedly in the worst form of his career has had about seven in two games.
