Very true, the club being up for sale may have played a part in that.

Correct, our team of internationals have no strengths.

If that's true, why are our players so tired? A lot of them have been injured a lot of them have played their part in a 50 game season. Your contradicting yourself man.

We played to our strengths, we don't do that under Pardew.

We don't have a history of changing managers in the summer.

That link is full of pure speculation.

If that's true, why are our players so tired?

We did play long ball at times, it wasn't our default style of play and it wasn't aimless like it is under our current idiot. We did play with wingers, we had wingers who could hit our own player because we actually had a game plan which involved getting at the opposition, rather than hitting it long to nobody in an attempt to get rid of the ball.

Probably if they are in work, it's much easier to take a manager from a club during the summer than during the season. Ashley hasn't gone for anybody in work that we know of, that doesn't mean that he wouldn't do it this time.

We didn't play long ball under Bobby, at least not as a default style. All teams use it and it's good when mixed up with other options. To claim "There was a good deal of long ball/reliance on wingers sticking it in the box" is total rubbish, not that we didn't use it.

It was hardly surprising that they opted for an out of work option during the season, is it?

They were in for Redknapp and Keegan when they brought Keegan back for the 2nd time.

Load of shite.

You don't know what we would pay a new manager or who it might be.

Well I feel better having read that glowing tribute.

At least being thick as pig shit is a decent excuse.

Pardew said the squad was good enough to challenge for the CL.

He's not like.

What does that even mean?

Bollocks, look at the team we had out against Reading at home for one.

And that has nothing to do with the manager?

It's really unfair isn't it? We must be the only team in the league with internationals in our squad.
