Ashley runs us like a nothing club so whats your point?

The only ‘stick’ Joselu has had, is people rightly commenting on his terrible performances. Such a weird statement. Wrong. The criticism of performances is absolutely fair enough, he's not a very good player. The problem is with the abuse that's been levelled directly at him by fans when he's f***ed up, despite us as a group of supporters insisting that the only thing we ask for is a 'club/team that tries' - when as far as I can tell his effort's not in question - and Ashley being the entire reason we have a player of his known quality at all in the first place. ...and aye, it's proper weird to want one of our players to redeem themselves. Players like Sibierski, Perch, Shola, Jonas, Gouffran etc turning it around or partly turning it around never happened, they're all still universally hated. My thoughts exactly His performances haven't been terrible either, his finishing has, but not his general play.

Gayle stopping our play again.. if he's not scoring he's shite like.

Murphy scored some important goals, but as a player he was none existent in most games in terms of performance. Not a chance he'd be of any use in the Premier League IMO.

Is he serious?, don't remember him being quite that insane, needs to be put down to be honest.

We probably got most of any fee back for Mitrovic's loan anyway and he wouldn't be playing here whether he's injured or not.

Phil Neville in the build up to the Stoke match when asked if West Brom should sack Pardew "but who would replace him?"

Tottenham is 3 weeks away and Huddersfield is 5 weeks away, so there are certainly games he can realistically play in before Leicester. Bench against Tottenham and start against Huddersfield at home hopefully.

It isn't. I posted something about that on here last year. My cousin who worked in the Commercial department at SAFC at the time told me that. The genius of it is you don't even need to then get those people through the turnstiles. The very act of handing out the tickets, even if they go straight in the bin, means you just add them on to the attendance. I think this year they're probably doing just that - Not giving them out to punters so they don't lose revenue, but at the same time leaving a pile of 9,000 of them in a box somewhere that is accessible but nobody will ever find, and then claiming that as those tickets are potentially in circulation then they can just whack that number onto their "crowd" for the day. Surely with the current state of their finances they would be looking to reduce the official attendance figures They would pay less tax on a 20,000 crowd than 25,000 due to the reduced turnover Whatever they report attendance as has no effect on turnover.

Is that a real quote ? It's absolutely fair. Anyone who sat down and thought Pardew was the number one choice deserves to be sacked. However, all 3 of them should have gone. This is what I don't get. Surely if you're sacking your chairman and CEO for the decision to hire Pardew, then how can Pardew possibly continue in his role? Because it isn't Pardews fault, its the fault of the people who sacked Pulis and replaced him with Pardew, those people made a big mistake. However while Pardews has been terrible, and been shown to be a horrible appointment to the point where the people responsible for that appointment were sacked, he in fact is still a good manager despite his record. So obviously he has to be given a chance. Believe it or not this is the logic of real people who actually get paid to talk about Football on a nationally broadcast radio station.

Love the pic as well: "Don't fucking touch me!"

Looks like overall, domestic and overseas combined, it will still end up going from about £8.2bn last time to somewhere over £9bn this time.

Caught something on the radio at work earlier (talksport I assume). Talking about West Broms plight and Pardew's horrendous record since 2016 (as if its just since 2016...). Quickly followed by the conclusion that obviously he's not a bad manager despite the stats and of course its not his fault that West Brom are in the shit. Apparently its the fault of the people who employed him So in other words its not Pards fault that he's been terrible, its the fault of the people who employed the shit cunt But if they all claim he's a good manager really, then how is it the fault of the people who employed this so called good manager? So many levels of complete and utter nonsense.

Same things could have been said for the last 11 matches though. But we still managed to get over a point a game. Anythings possible, but I don't see a real reason to think we'll be worse over the next 11, if anything there's reason to think we'll be better.

Our next 11 games look less difficult than our last 11 which we got 13 points from. Also we now have Dubravka, Kenedy and soon Slimani. 9 points seems extremely pessimistic.

Could that be the Xmas fixtures? Imagine 10 games on TV on Boxing Day. Fantastic! Don't have to imagine - we have every match in every gameweek available here in the US. Most do here to be honest, just not supposed to talk about it on here

I'd prefer Amazon as they'll probably just include it with Prime. You can get as many Prime free trials as you want so free matches

10 points from our last 7 games, and the massive majority of those without Kenedy and Dubravka let alone Slimani. 11 games left, so I'd be surprised if we didn't end on at least 40 points.

Reason to sell would be lots of money, absolutely no reason to sell if we go down as he'd never accept losing money on a sale.

Dohnt think so A fair ref once or twice would do like..

Not only did it just dribble against the wall, it wasn't even on target..

What the fuck are people on about comparing Slimani to Doumbia ect?, fucking weirdo's He came with an injury so its hardly surprising that he's missed two games.

Gayle up front?, lets just not bother.

You know what, when Joselu does this, you'll be right, until then you're wrong, have a nice evening one of his 4 goals in 25 appearances in the Championship there. Meanwhile, the universally deemed not good enough Joselu has 4 goals in 22 appearances in the Premier League. GET.HIM.IN.THE.TEAM Would be interesting to lose the term ‘appearances’ and change it to minutes played, a more accurate reflection. Be my guest dude. Mitro - 4 goals and 6 assists in 1122 minutes as a bit part player, rarely starting 2 games in a row Joselu - 4 goals and 1 assist in 1562 minutes with 19 starts Looks totally different compared to the skewed figures you tried to use. Joselu has what? 1 goal in his last 9 appearances. I dont care less if Mitro turns up every day to training in stockings and heels, he’s still a better striker and we’d have been better off with him in the team. Had on, I'm no Mitrovic hater, but that's Championship stats vs Premier League stats. I do personally think Mitrovic is better than Joselu (assuming he can manage to stay on the pitch). But not by a wide enough margin to say he should be in the side no matter what he's doing in training, fucking hell, Ben Arfa he is not like..

Think the same, Sturridge has major problems with injury, its been about 4 years since he played regularly. Then you've got the fact he just seems like a bit of a tit (I mean that dance FFS) Also for all of him being considered proven, if you directly compare their records in the time Slimani has been here: Sturridge - 1200 minutes played - 5 goals = goal every 2.66 games Slimani - 1521 minutes played - 8 goals = goal every 2.11 games
