With Pep Guardiola stating his intention to return to coaching, today is the perfect day to sack "Pardiola" ...then we can nab Mark Hughes

Fucking hell, to the day :lol:

Any indication as to how Pardew hopes to re-integrate Cabaye, Saylor and Jonas into the first-team picture? Be surprised if the former two start with so little match fitness. They haven't played any reserve games, have they?

Good post My comments in blue.

Is this Noel's house party or something? I just wondered what everyone thinks Whenever I watch football and you seem some tall keeper standing in the middle of the sticks I have a lot of sympathy for penalty takers that miss, because the goal looks so much smaller - but then when I play football and I'm looking at the goal from ground level, and I'm running up to take a penalty - it feels fucking impossible to miss the goal is so ridiculously big. The transfer budget bit was just to add some pressure to the occasion

Signing for us tomorrow. £500k release clause.

That's what she said.

He's terrible since the injury. Looked really amazing until then.

The injuries we've suffered this season would have negatively impacted on any non-Man City/Chelsea side - they have been horrendous in fairness. We have regularly topped the Injury League table (http://www.physioroom.com/news/english_premier_league/epl_injury_table.php) but they have not been so bad that we should be in relegation danger. This is Pardew having to lie in the bed he has made. He has had sufficient opportunity in his time here to instil a methodology, style and plan to our play. This has precisely FUCK ALL to do with second XI/squad quality. It's about a team identity, a team ethos. We don't have one, because Pardew bought into his own hype last season - where he lived off the individual excellence of HBA, Cisse and Ba. He did not adequately develop as a manager as hoped. This season, what ought to have happened is that when a player got injured, their replacement should have come in - they'd not be as good, but they'd understood the role they play in that team. Instead we face the situation (particularly yesterday) where we replaced eleven quality individuals who scraped results last season to hit fifth, with eleven fringe individuals. Players coming back may improve the situation, but whether they'll come back quick enough, with enough desire and belief is another thing. Especially with time ticking and the fixtures we have left. We need a great motivator and a good coach to steer us away from relegation now. Pardew remains, as he ever was, a PR man who has no sense of accountability. I'd be surprised if he was even able to identify problems beyond injuries and Europa fixtures. He's going 'all in' on our Premier League status being cured by returning players/signings - even though we struggled to pick up points prior to this 'injury crisis'. He has no capability to play any other hand.

How many penalties would you score out of ten against a Premier League keeper? For every goal NUFC steal £1m from the mackems transfer budget and vice versa for every miss.

QPR-WBA replay is good news though.

Didn't realise Cabaye/Taylor returning was that close. Added in with Debuchy, that could make a real difference.

Forgot they lost one of their games in hand to QPR at home. Fucking hell, that's a setback and a half It's so obvious though. Stupid, stupid team selection. Games without Mata this season (the WBA game being the exception): QPR (a) - 0-0 Swansea (a) - 1-1 WBA (a) - 1-2 Fulham (h) - 0-0 ... QPR (h) - 0-1 Proper thick. If they'd won that, I'd say it was possible.

Nah too many points to make up he might get them 2nd though. It's still early days. Bigger deficits have been made up in far fewer games. Edit: I don't think they'll play Ba as often as they ought to though. Probably the best squad in the league for my money. They should be winning the league.

My hate for the Manchester clubs is at its zenith - hope Ba fires them to win the league.

"He was holding us back" ~

Goal bonus. Just thinking that

Norwich resist temptation to sit on a goal lead for 80 minutes, and double their lead. Away from home. To beat lower league opposition. And progress to the next round of the Cup.

Yeah, every round will just remind me of this today's serving of shit.

Wow. When you put it like that Goddam. Only people aren't bored are non-NUFC supporting mates who get to take the piss out of you

Well it'd be easier than from Australia, wouldn't it. http://i764.photobucket.com/albums/xx284/TheWacoKidd/black_kid_whoa.gif
