Decky

He's thrown in the towel, we're getting no one in. Squad is good enough my arse. The media will let Kinnear off too, didn't he say we should judge him on the transfer window? No one will but us on here. Also what does he do when the windows closed? Go away for a while or stick his nose into the coaching business?

I have stated on more than one occasion in here that I actually like Pardew and am willing to give him time, why? The utter choas he's dealing with a poor squad assembled on the basis of price and resale rather than any kind of footballing philosophy or vision and whether these players are actually suitable to play alongside one another. A transfer policy that prefers to avoid spending money. And lets not even get into JFK. Fact is what people have ignored repeatedly is the squad is severly lacking, we own no good strikers and before you mention Cisse he's a load on the side and frankly sums up the entire transfer policy, he is 100% useless outside of the box, 0 ability to hold up the ball or bring others into play and is only good at finishing-in the modern era thats a poor striker the end. We have no width, which means our attack plan is always through the middle because we have no one capable of actual width that makes us very easy to nulify and no plan b. And with our main striker completely dependent on service rather than able to create something for himself that makes us a poor side. Bring into it full backs who aren't that great at attacking and even worse at defending (santons best of the lot and even he has his daft moments) and we're simply a poor side who ridiculously overachieved in the 5th place finish The thing is, we do have good players, they just aren't being used properly. The tactics and game plans are killing us, not to mention the negative defeatist attitude from Pardew in the press every single time we play, I mean he's even say he hopes we've enough to get past Morecambe ffs. The players look knackered too, and the likes of Ben Arfa look like they could lose a few pounds. The fundamental basics of playing a game of football just aren't there, who is responsible for that if not Pardew? He has previous of messing things up in similar fashion at clubs. The fact is he just isn't a good manager, if we'd a more competent manager in charge who just got on with his job and got the players he has at his disposal playing well, we'd be well clear of relegation. Right now we're sinking without a trace. We're playing worse than last season, who the fuck would have thought that was possible in May? 5th was a fluke, so far this season and last season show us what Pardew is really like. I honestly think he himself has given up as well, he just looks completely fed up.

Really not sure what that has to do with anything tbh. If anything it makes his goal return look even better I think he means we're a strong relegation candidate this year. He didn't keep QPR up, and therefore won't keep us up. It's a bit of a leap. Who scored more than Remy in the same amount of games? I would bet anyone that did plays for one of the top clubs. He seems like everything we need tbh, quick, able to score in a shit side, can play out wide. We may as well just give up now if literally nobody is good enough. He couldn't stop the rot at QPR, so the likelihood is he won't stop the rot here either. His return of 6 goals in 14 games as well won't be enough if the rest of the team aren't scoring. The point isn't really about Remy either, it's about Pardew. We've good players out there already who look totally lost, Remy will probably be no different. I hope I'm wrong and he's the bright spark in a shite team, but I just can't see Pardew motivating anyone to do the business right now.

Why are people looking at this as just 2 games into the season? Have they forgotten about last season already? We're were absolutely dire last year under Pardew, breaking negative records left right and centre. We've brought no one in permanently and are losing a key player in Cabaye. Yes we have got Remy on loan, but lets not forget he is coming from a relegated club, so he won't be the answer to any of our problems. Pardew was terrible last year, we haven't improved over the summer and are continuing from where we left off on the pitch. We lack ideas, we've no game plan, the players look knackered and clueless, we can't score, we seemingly can't even get a shot on target and the negativity all over the club is the worst it's been in years. The fact is if we had a decent manager in, regardless of whatever shite Kinnear and Ashley shove down our throat, we'd be at least be getting some results and generating a bit of positivity. It's not just about 2 games, there's a much bigger picture here. Some people need to get their heads out of the sand and realise the shit we're in.

Can't wait to see how we fair when Man City are away from home at SJP.

Does Pardew's logic now mean we can't compete with Cardiff? Can we just join the Championship now?

As if he'll be sacked ffs. Our only hope is Palace tap him up for their manager and he leaves because there's less pressure down there.

Someone tell Cardiff they can't compete with Man City and to roll over and take a hammering ffs.

To be fair Cardiff are thought to be one of the teams that'll be down there with us fighting for their place in the league. It's just depressing comparing their efforts today to ours last week.

It's so you spend an extra tenner on the shirt.

8. The team is just completely clueless. As people already said, they look like a team coming off the end of a hard season, not starting a new one. Pardew needs to go asap or we're going to either go down or survive by the skin of our teeth.

I love how Shola is the inform striker because he scored 3 times in pre-season, two against shite Scottish teams.

tbf that is Pardew's level.

He'll go full strength and use it as an excuse if we don't beat Fulham. Infact, if we play our reserves he'd still use it as an excuse for Fulham.

Did he really compliment our defensive performance? Only for shit West Ham finishing we'd have conceded 2 or 3 at least.

Should go and batter them to get a bit of confidence going for Fulham.

And not a single point since.

Refuse to pay his wages until we get rid. If true of course.

The team looked absolutely clueless man. I feel sorry for the season ticket holders who'll be served up that shite and worse for the next 9 months.

16 attempts from us and none on target?

Can't remember when I last seen a side look so utterly fucking clueless going forward at home.

What is with the constant shooting from range?

West Ham could easily be hammering us here. Utterly depressing.

Few of us went for 1-3 to Arsenal.

Sticking Wonga on the plague ffs. Christ, Ashley and co are utterly classless.
