Mr Logic

He came out and said that? That's incredible! He really must have zero self-awareness under that thick cloud of ego he dwells in. No lessons learned from Mascherano then, not good enough for Pardew but later captains a world cup final team and gets MoM on top of all the other trophies he was involved in.

Noticed that, maybe he'd decided to ditch Pardew and thought 'Shit!'

Hahahaha

Ben Arfa second. Oh, wait.

Fuck me, Aarons is good like. Little bastard.

So mixed up man. Deep down I always want us to win, but every win keeps Pardew here a little longer.

If he's still here could we see a scenario where Ashley says he has to be played some time?

Missed the whole first half, any sign of the banners?

Nearly 3..

Jesuswept, can't believe what I just did. I roared like a maniac when Palace scored. Shows how bad it is.

Hilarious visions - as the press start to question pretty much everything he does and says.

The universal celebration on this board when he's gone will be epic.

This is perhaps the biggest problem, where another owner may panic and sack the manager because of fan unrest Ashley will just shrug his shoulders and say fuck'em.

I reckon he'd do ok. He wouldn't pass much. If he was under pressure he'd forget to say pass and blurt out "HOOF!"

Ben Arfa - De Jong - Cabella A. Perez Mouthwatering prospect from what's available, we'll never see it under Pardew. (Perez for agility, balls to feet or into space and no hoofs.)

It's not unknown for a new player to the EPL to take a whole season to adjust, a canny manager that knows a player has something about him persists and gives him that chance. After two games I can't say whether this lad has anything about him or not, there could be a number of factors affecting him. What I am fairly sure of is he will never show his true potential in a Pardew team, neither will Peroze or indeed half the players we buy. Those that have shown their true potential on many occassions are the ones that Pardew persists with, the Williamsons, Dummets and Gouffrans. Isolating a player for criticism in suxh circumstances and after just two games seems a bit short-sighted to me.

All the new lads are going to be fucked over by Pardew, the more skill or flair they have the more they will be curtailed. Ashley will be proud though, wanted a more attacking team and we've now got a couple of shots on target.

Dunno why Colo bothers pssing to Willo, 99/100 the ball just comes back to him.

You mean with movement, crisp passing, driving forward and ruthless finishing? I think that was a different sport tbh Yeah, that's it, tear in my eye now. Think it was called football - as opposed to the hoofball, crapball and panicball that Pardew instructs.

Was just remembering how we used to flow forward as a team under Keegan, everyone heading for the oppositions goal. What a fucking contrast.

I think the Villa box has been designated an Ebola-risk zone by Pardew.

Yay, shot on target! Stick that up your statistics.

We're not shit, we have a shit manager with all the wrong priorities. The right manager would transform us.

Am I seeing signs already that Janmaat is not so keen to get forward, presumably under instructions.

Cabella and Goffran, two peas in a pod.
