Our record in the FA Cup under Pardew has been shit, mainly because he's gone full strength against lesser teams and our players haven't been motivated. I think we'll actually have a better chance of a win with some of the kids because I think they'll be motivated and are good enough against Brighton, as long as stroller isn't playing up front. If Stroller is up front I'll probably not even bother watching it.

Good luck to him, he came here and never let us down when picked. I've got nothing against him unless it's when we're playing Chelsea.

He was garbage and I would have said the same if he played like that for a pub team, never mind a Premiership team.

If anybody doesn't know anything about Clough, go onto youtube and search for "Brian Clough Nottingham Forest Hitting Smacking Football Fans Hooligan "

I agree with the majority of this article, maybe not the bit about Debuchy be solution to all our problems, but a good read overall Quite a bit of it is horse plop actually.

Brilliant news even if it is 4 months late.

This season just goes from bad to worse.

Krul had no chance with that free kick. It swerved away from him, no keeper would have got to that from his starting position and his starting position looked about right to cover as much of his goal as possible.

So if we never have all of those players fit, and if we don't replace Ba, we can't judge Pardew. You're looking for bites.

If he cant switch things in a couple of hours what chance has he got during a game, explains his s*** subs etc He could have changed it, but what about the players? Would they be comfortable with an entirely different set of instructions, for a different position, a couple of hours before a game? He made the right, if unpopular, call last night. That's laughable, how long do you think it would have taken to tell and coach Cisse to play in his usual position?

That's not true but I do understand why some are worried about what we'd replace him with.

You can guarantee one thing with our club, it will always kick you in the bollocks when you don't expect it.

Pity he wasn't found before handing our teamsheet to the ref.

Tiote needs to stop worrying about bookings, just tackle and take whatever comes, it's his natural game.

Our next 3 games are massive, I think if we're struggling after those 3 a new manager might not be enough.

We know why QPR have a lift, they’ve binned the failing manager and brought in a manager who has his players motivated, unlike ours. The players coming back could give us a lift but don't pretend we haven't lost games when they've played and our confidence is now lower than a snakes belly, unlike earlier in the season.

Anita could easily do box to box and he actually does do it.

Debuchy is unlikely to give the players enough of a lift to turn our season around, we're poor all over.

Where are the players going to get a lift from? They clearly need one, the best I think we can hope for is that we put Reading to the sword, failing that, we're screwed and relying on others doing worse than we do.

I agree, that's why I didn't kick off about him being in that position, I just pointed it out.

I wouldn't mind knowing what you're expecting, we've lost our top scorer and today the manager thinks Shola is better up front than Cisse. If that is the level of his judgement then why should we expect him to do what most people think is the best for the club? The way I see it, he’s so arrogant that he probably doesn’t think anything he does is wrong.

What part of the story is missing?

We're heading in one direction, our current form is actually the worst of any team in the league, bar none.

You've been in denial all season about how shit we've been. You probably think we're still 5th top.
