But most of the time we do struggle, we even struggled yesterday to beat the team who were 4th bottom and the previous game we struggled against Fulham. You can count on one hand the number of games where we've been comfortable this season and last season. Even the season we finished 5th was a struggle until after Christmas when we seemed to stumbled onto a winning formula which was ditched as soon as we had time to work at it. Our football will always be a struggle while we've got a clueless negative clown as manager.

We talked about Europe before we lost the game? I can only guess that the players don't want it either after watching that garbage.

The sheep still fall for it, job done.

How do you know he likes it?

No reports of suspected earthquakes suggest he didn't.

We've got no chance of Europe and him claiming to aim for it is an easy claim to make and also bollocks.

I thought that my point was fairly obvious, clearly it wasn't, he's nothing like Tommy Cassidy on a bad day. Also, I couldn't give a shit about performances in training as we only get point for performances in league games and in that respect he's performed well for most of the time when given a run of games. The fact that he was made a scapegoat by our shitty manager doesn't change that, neither does people falling for the shitty managers bollocks when singling out players for criticism.

In what way is he being asked to defend though? Come back to defend corners? I don't understand how a striker/forward "defends more" apart from set pieces. He didn't say on the bit that I heard, he just said that he was being asked to do more defensively. It seems to be our default setting for all of our players as we are obsessed with defending before anything.

No chance.

He's being asked to defend more, that's hardly going to help his natural game is it?

He's looked quite motivated when given a run of games and you mentioned his fitness earlier, odd isn't it that a player who plays games can be fit and motivated but isn't when he doesn't play. I wonder what we should do about that?

He was on the radio during the week saying that he was changing his game because he was being asked to do more defensively.

You really should stop watching games at St Nick's.

He rarely lost possession, more often than not he got the ball to a Newcastle player.

Very few people will see this post. Maybe me quoting it will help. I'm convinced Slim is Brett's wife.

We could do with a pity list.

We were garbage against the 4th worst team in the division and we couldn't have complained if the game had ended 0-0. The quality of our football under the clown you support is dire.

This clueless bastard will kill football.

Aye, why did we not think of that?

Ben Arfa needs to learn to tackle if he's going to become more effective as he's going to have to tackle his own players to get enough of the ball.

Pardew is doing a shite job with Ben Arfa, other clubs showing an interest in him or not doesn't change that. Ben Arfa isn't doing himself justice and he never will if he's not playing games.

Gave away our advertising income.

So it'd cost £300 mill to add 10,000 seats (based on prices way back when FFS thought about it) onto the ground, that'd only take about 50-odd years to pay itself back from tickets(not counting interest). Even if a hotel and casino (not allowed) were possible you'd be doing well to half the investment repayment time. Crap article. You could get a whole new stadium for that (Emirates was "only" £390 Mill)

I hope you're taking the piss.
