Mug.

He is the problem.

Agreed, we've got at least 2 worse than Ian. I rarely agree with Ian but I think he genuinely posts his thoughts. A couple of others just try to look clever while looking daft.

Not this again.

It's as simple as that.

He's worse than Souness, if only because Souness didn't last as long.

He's probably still singing it.

We don't know that.

I know we're a mess and I don't accept it, even if I can't do anything about it.

No.

Who motivates the team? Sorry, I'll re-phrase, who is supposed to motivate the team?

Agreed, I just don't think we were unfortunate, I think we got what we deserved, nothing.

We haven't got anybody better than Ben Arfa on the right, beating a Cardiff team who were poor changes nothing on that score.

The last time we smashed them we actually had a go at them, coincidence?

The same new manager bounce they had last week when they let 4 in without reply? That's a joke of a reason and it doesn't hold water. English core, what difference has that made before? It's only used if we lose and isn't when we win with the same mix of players. An English core is bollocks, we had more of an English core than against a much better Liverpool side but we weren't up for this game. As for home game, isn't it the only home game they've actually won this season. Why hasn't home advantage helped them before today? Must win game, it should have been for both teams. A kid at centreback, OK, we did have but he was 1 player out of 11. If we'd played more to go at them instead of starting slow that wouldn't have even come into it. Pardew tried to be clever up front and he isn't good enough to do that, he's clueless.

Are we not allowed to start a derby at 110mph? Are we not allowed to have our players motivated enough to have a go from the start instead of bottling it? As for the game itself, we were clueless for most of it. Does anybody other than Pardew think our front 3 which started today were in the positions which suit them? I hope not. We weren't in the game kick off against one of the worst teams to play in the division. We should have been at them from the off instead of letting them get a goal before we were pushed into doing something. We shouldn't have been needing to go for a winner late in the game, we should have been in a better position by then.

Remy, Cisse and Gouffran had no effect on the game today, Ben Arfa did. Do you think Ben Arfa playing had a negative effect on 3 other players?

It's not like, it's totally warranted.

Playing him on the right might be a good idea, you know, the position where he's done most of his better work for us.

We shouldn't have been going into the last few minutes of the game looking for a winner.

I know you're not a fan of his but he really was shite today, the mackems had one point from 8 games, they now have 4 from 9. 70% of the points they have come from us, it's as bad as when we lost away to Derby under Allardyce.

Our last 51 league game record under this clown: Win percentage, 29.41% Draws per game, 19.61% Defeats per game, 50.98% Points per game, 1.08 Goals for per game, 1.18 Goals against per game, 1.78 Disgusting.

Sack this horrible useless bastard.
