As easy as it is to blame the manager, we could really do with some width, creativity and a good big man upfront. Even if Pardew was sacked today i'm not convinced a new manager would drastically change things for the better, took me a long time to realise it but there are a lot of issues with this squad. Motivation and confidence make a massive difference though and I dont believe Pardew provides that, in fact I'd bet he saps it away with his ultra cautious negativity. IMO a decent manager could organise and motivate the players we have and we'd see the quality come through. Obviously I agree our squad would be improved a lot by a striker who can hold thr ball up and a pacey tricky winger though. We should go out and sign Gomis and Thauvin, or at least someone like Sinclair.

2nd of February 2011, thats the last time West Ham won a Premier League away game by more than one goal.

The last time we scored 3 ? or 4 ?, in the league against 11 men ?. Southampton at home, 13 games ago. Then again West Ham last won away in the league only a week after we got that result against Southampton..

I'm not sure he'll be going if that is the case. I could perhaps see PSG paying it but not Arsenal. It wouldn't surprise me if Cabaye stays, sulks, plays worse than last year and leaves next year for £8mil. If he plays worse than last year he can kiss the world cup goodbye.

Unfortunately NUFC.com dont seem to be very reliable these days. It definitely makes more sense that we're there to sign players than to talk to Cabayes reps. But I wont hold my breath on info from NUFC.com.

Not having Allardyce being tactically astute mind Think he'll just play the same against us as he does against anyone else, unfortunately even being that predictable could very well be good enough to outfox Pardew.

Yep sick to death of Taylors stupidity and Gutierrez is a waste of a shirt (hate saying it because I'm still fond of the bloke but he's been playing very poorly for a long time).

Everything that's come in from player sales has been spent on new players while the club has been in the Premier League under Ashley. Not always in a timely manor like, and we should certainly be spending more but the fact is we do reinvest money from player sales, not just some of it but all of it. It took 30 months for all the Carroll money to spent. There's no excuses for not spending it within 8 months. Didn't say there was, I said myself its not spent in a timely manor. I also don't think we should be sticking to only spending what we bring in when there are obviously good players available who would improve us.

Yeah sounds terrible until you specify that two of those are Gutierrez and Taylor, the only one we'll miss is Cabaye and that's if he doesn't play.

True, but it's brainless. It's a red 24 hours 7 times a week. Take your black and white spec off. Horrible thing to do. Horrible thing to do? Yeah one of the lads hairs is probably slightly pushed out of style now, his life is basically ruined.

Anyone with anything about them would have wanted to go out and show Arsenal why hes worth more than £10m.

''Over ambitious, hes not going to beat Joe Hart from that angle'' Shit Scotsman beat heart with shots straight at him..

Is Cisse just not fit or what??

Looking at someone must be a penalty as well then ?

Gutierrez always finds a way into the side, its fucking ridiculous.. First time he was going to be benched in forever and Cabaye decides he wont play, its almost un-fucking believable

Yes, will we do it in this window?, maybe and maybe not.

This time we have Krul, Coloccini, Debuchy and Ben Arfa, so we'll definitely have a better side out than last time. But the most important thing is Pardews tactics

Lille want 10m Euro's from clubs they do want to sell to never mind ones they don't and Marseille have no money.

Pity for him that Lille won't sell to another French club then isn't it..

I'm at work Monday night till after the game and Saturday morning until after the West Ham game, gutted I'll miss the first two games of the season, count yourself lucky you've got the choice

If we play defenders in defence then you never know what might happen.

He wastes possession, putting even more pressure on us. He used to help us by carrying the ball up field and drawing fouls, but he hasn't done that at all consistently for a long time. As much as I'm still fond of him he's a liability now in any game, or has been for a while now IMO anyway. If he comes back with some kind of energy and form then he could be useful in some games, but at the moment we have better options.

Unfortunately I think if Gutierrez is fit he'll start Would love to be proven wrong.
