EDIT: Still lose 2-0 though

Somehow think even AP will want to win this one. He knows he is only a few shit results away from mass hatred directed at him from the stands if so, probably P45 too.

Chant Hatem Ben Arfa continuously on the 10th and 26th minute - then for the rest of the match. Better than a banner surely.

Top 4 comments has the desired effect I guess, sold a few season tickets. Back to reality now, which most always new was the case. I am hoping for the best of both worlds, team does really well and he does something stupid on the touch line again resulting in instant P45.

That Vid... where did it all go wrong hey! Pardew is the ultimate muppet.

Pre-match memorial for the lads will surely make this a slightly more vocal opening game of the season. Not a bad time to play the champions!!

I think having the #10 taken off you means something Training with the kids and being treated like one is much worse IMO. They may as well have not given him a number.

So obvious HBA and Pardew have had a massive falling out, Pardew is the one that does not seem prepared to offer an olive branch - sure if MA or LC insist he does to try and preserve some value or he walks for nothing (which is now very likely given the way he has been treated). For a smug c*nt like Pardew to get away with headbutting someone on live on TV, he should be more prepared than most having been given 2nd/3rd,4th chances himself, to put his personal agenda to one side. Hypocrite.

Numbers mean fuck all in any event otherwise that would imply Anita/Raylor are first team which clearly they are not.

Did a great job at Manu too! On a serious note, I do not think his football is significantly more inspiring that hoofballdefendofryourlives.pardew's. At least he would buy some defenders I guess.....

Would not want Moyes anyway.

I am not hoping for a bad start but hoping he goes, although I would accept the former to guarantee the latter!

Good news is, start badly and I really don't think this fraud will be here for long at all. Massive pressure on him now as despite the squads obvious gaps still (which he should be doing something to address), he has been well backed by Ashley - both in his response to Pardbutt, relegation form at the back end of last season and the 7 new players. IMO he is really is a dead man walking unless we start the season really well and keep up a level of consistency and stop conceding so many goals.

Based on pre-season form/game time that should be the lineup with the exception of Anita who will almost certainly be on the bench with Colback starting. Still not a bad team really as Man City will need that extra bite in midfield although personally I would rather see Sissoko over Anita or Colback in that role as he is better bursting forwards when play allows.

Please don't try and justify his dribble!

IIRC they threw money at the problem until it went away, surprisingly... The irony!

I have no issues with him if he is a squad player over a weekly starter. Him and Tiote in the same teams smacks of bottlejob jobbing it and going all defensive.

Plus our wage bill was undoubtedly higher in those days to cover any debate there as to where we are now. That is cost break down complete bullshit surely - no way we got £10M for Boumsong!?? Or to use his real name Bassong My bad, not had a coffee yet!

Jamaal looks an absolute beast! Sounds like a cracking deal.
