Zero

the other possible reason is Reus injury is so serious that he cant back to his best

How on the earth is Haidara a better defender than Santon? He deserves a chance though.

The season ticket sales must have recovered quite a lot.

who cares Pardews CV?

Expect to be sold before end if August then. No way he will get back to the team even Pardews gone. Ashley wont accept such behavior.

I think its because Tiote is injured, hence starting every match so far. Once Tiote get back to fitness he will be benched, hopefully

We wont sign any more defenders unless Taylor or Colo was sold. Pretty sure they are regretting buying Mbiwa at that Jan already.

hopefully together with several heavy defeats in early season, this can force out Pardew

You dont need to support Hatem just for the sake of proving Pardew is shit. The point is, no matter how shit the manager is, you should do what he asked you to do on the pitch. He is asking you to do A, you think it is bullshit and do B instead, then why would you get picked the next match? This applies not only to football, but any job in this world: follow the instructions. The result would prove that he is wrong anyway since the manager is shit and you are right, isnt it? It makes no sense to ignore the instructions on the pitch. This is especially important in a team game. If Hatem is allowed to ignore the instructions, why would the others listen to the manager then? Dun throw out shits like Pardew is cunt shit idiot retard etc, this happened EVERY TIME when Hatem fell out with the managers. In the end, he is the one who suffer most. But that is down to him, not Pardew. By the way, the only one who publicly support Hatem is Cabaye (after joining PSG). None of the others do so.

Pardew and Ben Arfa are equally responsible for this s***. And i must say both Bellamy and Dyer are easier to manage than Hatem, at least they didnt fall out with EVERY managers they had. Pardew is s***, for sure. How about the other managers who've managed Hatem before?

so the correct treatment is 1. let jonas train with the first team 2. never play him again, and 3. tell him that he should leave asap as he wont be picked anymore is that a lot more respectful to Jonas then?

how is that the same? Pardew told Jonas to leave. Smith is blaming that Pardew didnt do so.

Not hard to figure out really, pretty much all of us know he isn't good enough anymore but there are ways of going about it. As usual the club took the dickhead route. really curious, how?

1 yr before people here were bashing Pardew for not dropping Jonas. Now people are bashing Pardew for not picking Jonas and/or telling him he isnt good enough and should leave asap. WTF?

some of the comments are really OTT though.

I know he is out for injury quite a lot of times, but when Santon is fit, he must be the starting LB.

Aye. I prefer Grenier over Lazacette. A Tiote Grenier partnership is real quality.

Anita over Colback anyday. I can accept Colback and Tiote if play against Man City though.

The end of Shane. Certified.

linked with Guerrero. Cant be true

i aint sure whos worse, Taylor and colo, tbf

did Adam got a touch yet?

Abeid + Colback = 1

good, more of this please

cabella is ace.
