Brighton, game set and match.

Come on David, you have to explain this one Christmas Tree is using Dave's posts on another forum without the context or the thing between his lugs to back them up.

And 5 defeats. Edit And a draw.

Duff is going to score against us, isn't he?

Good point.

Keegan got £2 million because of a clause in his contract, Pardew is almost certain to have the same.

If they manage to score first it could get fairly ugly.

At least you can blame me when it doesn't happen, anyone but Pardew.

It isn't going to happen anyway, we'll go out this round.

Would winning a cup make him a good manager?

Getting into the opposition half should register as a goal in this one.

He does have a point as they have comparable records as managers.

Swansea.

The money spent only crops up against teams who spend more, I wonder why it wasn't brought up against Wigan?

Man City didn't play like a team who had spent £430 million, nice try though.

Sometimes it's funny though.

? I don't think you can ignore the past just because it wasn't with us, he has a history and he's repeating it here. Even our good season was more down to results than performances. You don't have to make every mistake possible in life, you can see others make them and learn from them.

I'm only looking at what they did here.

He's just got a different opinion and it doesn't make any difference what any of us think anyway, whatever is going to happen, will happen.

His CV suggests that last season wasn't the norm, why should we go through another season like this one to find out what we already know?

We have won every home game since the new signings, today was bad but lets not act like it changes anything. We have been very good at home since the new signings, we continue to be terrible away and the manager doesn't have a back bone. Today doesn't really prove anything to suggest we won't stay up, i would be very surprised if we don't get at least 3 home wins between now and the end. Its not good enough but i'm confident the home form will see us through. You're like an Ostrich with it's head in the sand, we're 3 points off a relegation place and that's with all of the players we've brought in recently. We can't win a game away from home and our defence is poor and our forwards may as well not bother turning up.

Souness was worse overall, I doubt Souness could have done what Pardew managed last season.

I don't even know why it matters that people have a change of opinion, unless it's to justify being in the minority.
