Mick

He's too arrogant to admit that he got it wrong too often, he was still making excuses for last season only last week. He'll bullshit in the belief that if he does it often enough some people will fall for it and they do.

Self motivation is far easier against the better team, a lack of confidence could easily lead to being beaten off them.

We were setup to fail, he said himself that players were tired and that he needed to make changes. The only change he made was to drop Anita who hadn't played too much and brought in a statue who played the way he normally plays so nobody should be surprised at that.

For me players 30%, manager 70%.

You should be OK if you go and see your doctor first and get the right jabs.

You said "we've not much quality to pick from looking at the bench." Which bench? The one I saw had Cisse, Ben Arfa, Anita, Yanga-Mbiwa, Taylor and Haidara on it. 3 of them are defenders which 2 he used but I couldn't argue him keeping the same back 4... Anita is central midfield which was our best department today so couldn't argue with that... Up front I said I wouldn't of played Shola which removes Cisse from the bench also... I'd of liked to of seen a front 3 of Remy Cisse HBA... He made the HBA change at HT with us looking the better team but before he could get into his stride Colo got injured and Debuchy foolishly red carded... The blame more lies with HBA not shooting at the end and two bad touches by Remy when put through twice... You can't just keep blaming everything on someone not on the pitch...

Which bench are you on about?

I think I'll paint a couple of doors and watch them dry rather than watch us try to stop the opposition.

The club will not take it seriously so I'll not.

I'm not bothered in the slightest.

“West Brom sort of let us have possession today and we had a lot of it and we controlled the game to a degree. “A few breakaways they had but other than that I felt confident that we would win the game…but the sending off did change it of course. “Unfortunately, I think it was a red (Debuchy) and then it was uphill and after the amount of games we got tired and we had injuries as well; we had to keep shuffling our team and in the end something give.” Nothing wrong with that... Saw the same game as I did today... Could only be faulted for his opening line up... Nothing wrong with that? Apart from us not looking like we'd win before the red card and us being tired because of the number of games we've played and him saying the same before picking virtually the same team, is that what you mean?

The sending off was deserved.

For the benefit of the mackems viewing, I've always wanted him out.

They're down unless they buy some goals which is a massive risk as they could end up bringing in players they need to get rid of later in the season.

spot on. It's not, he's shite.

Na.

Hopefully we'll never see him again.

It'll be the Pardew give us a wave lot.

Our next league game is Man City, don't worry.

Are you trying to change history? Ben Arfa creates.

Ginola and Robert were no different, they were both class under the right managers.

Spot on.
