Is that legal?

Whether I could or not, I'm not going to.

Nothing about the 3-0 is getting a negative vibe.

Yet you come in and read it.

Where have I said that I was angry?

The arrogance of that post. You act a certain way so others should do the same. You know how others feel by reading a post.

You've just mentioned two claims from him that are polar opposites, he can't win with some because he talks shit and you've just proven that yourself.

I'm more than happy with what he's had us doing in our last 2 away games when we've been excellent and I hope that we carry on playing the way that I think we can. He's actually doing what the "haters" wanted him to do and it's paying off, long may it continue.

He can't win because he doesn't know when or how to keep his mouth shut.

We spend so much time worrying about the opposition that we don't have a style of play that we can call our own. The main reason we've often looked clueless is because we don't have a well known way of playing which the players know well enough and that's part of why we had a season like last. We tried to work on the weaknesses of the opposition instead of our own strengths. Our players are suited to playing the type of game we played against Man U and Palace and that's why it worked for us. The better teams have a style of play that they know and that suits the players they have, we need the same.

We can and should win this and I don't see any reason why we'll not win it and win it comfortably.

Nothing, it looks like an attempt to change history.

You're probably right but a new manager would have come in and would have had to learn the strengths and weaknesses of the players before finding a way to control a game. Pardew knew what he had and it still took him 15 games to do that and he abandoned it for game 16 only to bring it back, thankfully, for game 17.

What? For your benefit injuries and suspensions don't happen to anybody but us.

Last season he said we were challenging for the CL, he either believed that or he shouldn't have said it because he ended up looking like a tool.

He's right.

The conditions were terrible and we controlled most of the game, we played well.

His prudent spending isn't going to keep hold of our better players who have ambition, he needs to match the ambition of the players to keep hold of them if we're ever going to do anything. We're a club that has generations of fans who have not seen us win a trophy and it's his responsibility to prove that we can do something about that rather than just surviving.

Craig Bellamy was offered the Cardiff job and turned it down, he went and told Mackay he'd been offered the job.

What?

Let's hope he was honest and doesn't fold at first possible decline in form. He said the same words after Man U and dropped it for Southampton.

Should start against Stoke, it will probably be Shola starting though.

Anita is a great little player, busy and rarely gives the ball away.

*when, not if.
