It's one paced drivel.

This is shite, good job Villa are as negative as we are.

Come on Villa.

At Villa today, why? http://i58.tinypic.com/24vikg5.jpg

Pity it wasn't an acid bucket challenge.

I agree with that, I wouldn't play him but I don't think he should be treated like shite either and it appears like he is.

If he was sacked tomorrow I would not post for a month, I'd be too pissed to type.

Slim went from wanting to have his babies one day to wanting to kill him the next, it wasn't a gradual change it was over night.

Na.

That will depend on who the new manager is, if he's more like Sir Bobby in personality then it's unlikely to be a problem.

What if he doesn't?

It was also a brilliantly taken goal that few others would have scored.

I agree with that, I think part of the problem is that Coloccini isn't the type of player who likes playing constantly under pressure. I still think he would excel if we played a more positive style of football but it's never going to happen under Pardew.

“Those things, I have to learn about the new players, they have to learn about me and how I work, so all of that takes time. How is that going to help, Alan?

Honestly, what is it that you are expecting from a CB in that situation against Aguero? Stevie Taylor superslide? He forced him to his weaker foot and a tight angle. Krul has no business directing that weak shot back to Aguero's foot. I thought that Aguero took his goal brilliantly, he had no right to score but did and sometimes you just have to accept that it was a good goal.

Flawed but he replaces Shola so he gets a thumbs up from me.

Without doing so you don't score goals and that's what wins games.

Liam Sweeney's dad has been brilliant, I don't think I could handle the death of one of my kids as well as he has.

I thought that Riviere looked handy and put himself about, I didn't think anybody had a bad game but I also don't think Man City did a lot when they had the ball either.

Perez look like he could have a very good future.

It's not his fault we didn't offer Shola a new contract, I feel sorry for him having to work with his hands tied.

That's just him saying he hasn't got all of his best players, it's an excuse by the back door.

Dummett starting and Obertan coming on is typical of Pardew, he'll always be shite.

I thought that we played quite well, it will be interesting to see how we perform when the players have to rely on Pardew for motivation.
