What a sad, bitter bunch of Mackems we sound like when we can't appreciate a player's decade-plus mostly outstanding service for obssessing about him losing the will at a club which had just appointed Joe f**king Kinnear. To see some older posters - who have seen countless crocks of sh*te and shameless mercenaries take this club for a real ride over the years - destroying Given is particularly sad.

Had Remy got his head up at key moments in the second half, we'd probably have had a couple more goals. But that underlines how much Norwich were there for the taking, and nowt else. This was a huge chance for the manager to make a statement today, yet - as well he might be given where he was before we rescued him and where he would be again if we dumped him - he was again gripped by fear.

Mackem on RTG who is a school teacher says his school have been given 28 free tickets for it despite it being in a mixed area. I already know of 4 people who bought tickets for their game v Peterborough earlier in the season to get them on the database so they could get tickets in their end cos they knew they had no chance of one in ours and 2 lads I work with have bought tickets in their end through stub hub as apparently there were no sales restrictions. Sunderland uni giving hundreds of tickets away to staff.

It's borderline idiocy in my book to again be caught ball watching (ie ending up the wrong side), although Tiote didn't help. Mbiwa clearly has so many of the attributes you need for a top centre-half, but at least one that you just can't afford.

Sorry if SEB before. And they call us deluded... http://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/diego-simeone.816865/

Likes him. F***ing hates us...

Victor Moses, Joe. You know it makes sense...

Distasteful. Unfunny. Pointless.

The thing that screams out to be heard from that piece is that Pardew is a dead man walking. Which might be a good thing - if his sccessor wasn't a full-on lunatic..

Wonder if he doubted he'd be able to clear it (it was an awkward height) because of his injury. Should have taken the risk. Don't think he actually carried the ball out, though. Anyhoo, McCarthy from Reading please...

Thank f***. Now do one Pardew, you useless, slimy, rat-faced mong.

Hoofball isn't Carroll's game, though. King Kenny had Carragher and co lump it at him last season, and look what happened. Carroll needs accurate, early delivery from wide areas. Are we equipped to give him that?

Thought his derby display would more or less put the debate about his all-round contribution to bed. Sadly not. He's one of the least of our worries. Anyone who can't see that actually deserves what we're all getting.

Total embarrassment of a day, from start to finish. Selection of Gutierrez at left-back was lunacy and cowardice - classic case of a fear-driven manager's arse finally dropping. How Jonas is even near the first XI after the season he's had is a joke. Bringing Shola on to herald hoofball from half-time was another panic move. No hiding place for Pardew now. For us to be still embroiled in a dogfight post-January signings and with most of our "better" players fit HAS to be held against him. He's clearly getting no insightful input from the men around him. But again, who's fault's that? Christ knows whether we stick or twist right now...

We didn't play hoofball when Carroll was on the up here, we just got the ball out wide and then quality early delivery into the box from there. Whether we've got the players to provide that type of delivery now is open to question...

Pretty sure the City one is next season's training top.

Massively unlucky not to score with that near-post effort. I'd be far more worried if he wasn't getting into scoring positions, but he is.

What. The. F*ck?

Tiote is unmanageable...

Haidara seriously off the pace, and Santon dozing again.

Strange to think Saylor was the anti-christ to many on here not so long ago. Fair play to the lad for the turnaround.

So, this debate about Cisse's all-round contribution...

For such a limited player, he doesn't half end up in a lot of goalscoring positions...

Feck off! Swansea did f*** all for 40 minutes of the second half! nowt to do with laudrup - we outplayed them, missed easy chances and they got a scruffy goal at the end Don't let common sense cloud your judgement. Laudrup is 347563457324956 times the manager Pardew will ever be and he should be managing us!!!!11!!!!!!! Not on the evidence of that game. Laudrup got lucky, and you're a tool. Your lack of comprehension for sarcasm makes you look the tool, like. Comprehension "of", not "for". Tool.

Aye, Mbiwa too tbh. Worried about us defending from balls into the box full stop. How many free headers did they have?
