Theregulars

Wow.... We are legitimately cursed as a club.

The pisser watching this is to ask why the fuck we just lost 7 out of 8. What a spirited, gutsy performance.

By the way, for all the Fergie-promoters, he's been shit today.

But did you remember how Pardew is the antichrist to all things common sense?

Ah, Obertan, the reliable match-changer.

They are going to time waste like no man has ever wasted time before.

It's also just crying out for us to play 4-3-3 and just knock it around. They're crap on the floor, that's why they keep kicking us, because they know they can't keep up. I don't give a shit which personnel are chosen to carry out, but switch the gameplan and stop playing into West Ham's hands.

I worried last year that Pardew had absolutely outstretched his ceiling with the 5th place finish. It looks more and more like that every week.

The worst is that the best we can hope for now is a 1-1 draw. Never win from behind under Pragmardew.

It's diabolical that we only start playing when we go down. What the fuck is Pardew thinking this year? At times it seems like he wants us to play at less than full effort int he hope we'll scrape a result, and when inevitably that doesn't work out, panic hits and we just lump it forward to Ba or a centre half. I can't fathom what's happened to his mentality during the summer.

Serious question marks on the manager, once again.

It's now just predictable.

There has to be a booking soon, surely? They're just trying to kick us off the park.

Totally pedestrian

I would trade all my worldly possessions for a 4-3 victory for us, to put the history of this nightmare to fixture to bed.

I'd say his performance was more 'frusrating' than 'shit'. I'd argue the reason a lot on here get at him so much is because he clearly has the potential to be quite handy but just as you think he may do something great, he stuffs it up, a prime example being the bullet cross to Cisse. I don't rate him that highly but the only way he's going to improve is with serious game time, so it's a circular argument to say he's useless and then boo him roundly when he gets any action. I think with some confidence and a bit of improvement as regards decision making and final ball he'd be a useful sqaud player. I also think a lot of players in that side yesterday had much worse games, including Ben Arfa, who has underperformed for a month or so.

Undeserved x 1 million

Who the fuck coaches us how to cross?!

Hello mediocrity. I'd hoped we weren't going to see you again for a while.

Atrocious. Genuinely disgusting.

We're being given a football lesson by West Bromwich Albion.

Perhaps it will only take us getting thrashed for the manager to get the message? I can't figure out why he persists with our current tactics.

I'm so, so bored of this season.

He's got a ceiling, he's reached it.

Need Pardew to see the obvious.
