Why doesn't Pardew just bring Shola off NOW!!!

Now watch Pardew take off Marv and put Gouffran on Later that is..

Tioté will take his place as soon as he's fit :lol:

Pardew says we're not allowed to move..

Who would have known...

Not sure we're going to attack as much as some think.

Injured

Hopefully he won't have to start his offensive runs from way too deep..

We could have used Gouffrans pace behind their defence. Almost succeded against City.

Full marks for not only picking the right team, but also for ignoring this ridiculous stupid convention of posting the team upside down and back to front. I salute you sir. We should have some red wine.

Should have been: Cissé Gouffran Marveaux Ben Arfa Anita Sissoko Santon Coloccini Mbiwa Debuchy Krul All f***ing out attack!!

If we lose Pardew will blame injuries Imo that team is one player away from being our best 11 (not the setup) apart from Cabaye.

So fucking unfair on Gouffran if you ask me. DiePardeu.

IF Marv starts.. (if he does i'd like to see him between our striker and midfield two.

I am arsed and hoping for the best, but i just can't see it happen. Yes we might get a scrappy win at best, but i want so much more from the club that i love. It's almost written in stone what we're going to see/experience until we get rid of Pardew to start with.

Who do they play at CB? Tomkins? and?

That's how i'd like him to play, i just can see it. It's too sensible and too attacking for him. Aye More likely winning the lottery i think..

Btw, i think Colo and Mbiwa will be mint today.. And Benny

If we're gonna play West Ham's game we'll lose, if we play our own with an offensive and positive style with movement we'll win easily (Which wont happen)

The upper one to the right would be lovely Bimpy!

If it meant getting rid of Pardew (guaranteed) i would easily take a loss.

Pardew will mess it up anyway. Sammy and Shola probably...

The point wasn't about the money spent or not spent.

This is a good post. A lot of people are overlooking the 20+ million spent in January and how it's been utilised on the pitch. I remember being over the moon when we got all them players in, I even foolishly thought we'd kick on and make it to mid table! Yep, I fell for it. I was prepared to give him time up to the Reading game. After that game was the first time I really turned against him. Then the rush of signings came in and results picked up a bit. We were progressing in the Europa League and I even thought the tactics at home to Benfica were what were needed. Sunderland and then Liverpool was what did it for me though. No turning back after that. He needs results and us in and around 6th-8th after 6 or so games for me to potentially give him a chance. The Chelsea game showed what we're capable of on our day. Even the games against Arsenal and Man U away we showed some really good signs even though we lost with big numbers. Couldn't agree more, we always look better when we push up and press. Remember the how aggressive we were against united when we beat them 3-0? Aye, and some positive signs against Man City at home when we went for it and pushed and pressed up the pitch.
