Deuce: Replace Remy with Gouffran on the 2nd team.

Remy - LDJ - Gouffran -------Cabella----------- ---Cabaye--Sissoko---- Too much creativity, not enough tackle.

He's the manager of a side full of good players who failed to beat an awful Cardiff side. I always say I don't argue with results, so I'll stick to the same principle here. We lost to Cardiff Fucking City in the FA Cup. Another cup run stopped before it started. Onwards and upwards? Fuck that.

When the wheels come off with this fucking tit of a manager, it really does come off. We go on an excellent run, his magic doesn't work anymore, we lose to Arsenal, lose to a shit WBA, and then lose to Cardiff. He'll do doubt spout his stupid excuses again. This is just so frustrating, and anyone complaining is NOT knee jerking what so ever. The fuck can't he get the team playing on the front against a dire Cardiff side? Its clearly on the manager. People on this forum love to defend this idiot and talk about the players. They watch any other sports? No matter what happens on the field, the manager is ultimately responsible. He's not maximizing the talent we have - he needs sacking. Problem is he's attached at the hip to Ashley + Kinnear and the only way Pardew goes is when Ashley goes.

That's because our league position and some results suggest that he is doing a good job. When in reality anyone that has watched us all season and the last two will easily come to the reality that we are in this position in spite of his negativity and mindless decisions. How laughable is it that we are truly shocked when he does getting right (ie against manure). It's not a good sign when that is the only game in recent memory that he got it right all the way through a game. Just like our fifth place a couple of seasons ago, we haven't got there through consistent fluid play, we have ridden our luck, been held up by goal scorers that are on form and performances that go against the way Pardew negatively sets us up. I am not naive enough to think we can go out and attack 90 mins every game and sometimes grinding out results playing ugly is a necessary part of the game. However it has been nearly four seasons and I am yet to see us look confident and flowing as an attacking unit. Despite constant assurances of Pardews love to set up attacking sides. It doesn't matter who we play we have very rarely come out of the starting blocks raring to go and hurt the opposition attacking wise. Even more rarely have we sustained that throughout a half, let alone a game. Pardew might feel his style is justified given our position now and two seasons ago. He also somehow believes that we do play a good attacking brand of football. What a sheltered football education he must have received. Facts are less and less fans will be willing to pay to watch the dross he puts out every week, moreover results won't make a big difference we are so uninspiring. Mediocrity and sustaining our position in the upper middle of the league is what Ashley clearly wants, in keeping Pardew he will likely get it. What he will also get is a huge f***ing hole in the clubs pocket because less and less people are interested in watching this utter bile Pardew calls football. Excellent post

Fucking shit result.

This fucking club man.

Have to follow this via BBC Sport's live updates and the twitter feeds. <anguish face>

He's very settled into life here from everything I've read -- from his local lass, new baby, etc. He seems a very quiet and "normal" type person for a footballer. Just needs to work on that fucking left foot of his now

Make the CM on the right hand side do the leg work of what Ben Arfa doesn't do and you essentially solve the problem. Sissoko has the engine to cover for Debuchy and get up the field.

Lose to WBA + Debuchy ban (3 games?) + Colo out for 4-6 weeks. Ouch.

Blah, stupid tackle by a great player. We'll miss him whilst out. Santon - Willo - MYM - Haidara for the next 3 matches then.

Just watched this match - fucking hell what a crap performance and result.

Happy New Years everyone!

He should be playing the full 90 minutes. Enough said.

Arsenal can fuck off. We let this slip. Shit fucking ref and a stupid switch off from our defense.

Should have taken this match to them from the off man.

Cmon man fuck

Arsenal players love a fucking dive

This ref is fucking garbage

Debuchy is fucking brilliant

We'll tie this and win it. Hatem will do it.

Arsenal are there for the taking

Scez did well to save that Sissoko blast
