Mick

The only important thing about the line up was that we had bodies in midfield.

Reverse psychology, I like it.

Not sure his ego will let him tbh. I live in hope.

Hopefully he's learned an expensive lesson

I really like Jonas but he can't be first choice any longer.

We weren't out-numbered in midfield, we didn't hoof it and we won. 15 games to work that one out, better late than never.

He's getting better with every game now.

I'm so pleased for him, he's class when fit.

Wigan will have one if the smallest away followings seen here for years.

3-1 home win, hopefully rather than expectantly. At least it’s that cold the players will want to move around to keep warm.

it's going to be bastard freeeeeeeezzzzzzzing.

We've been without Ryan Taylor for months.

Andy Cole played for the mackems.

See it for what it is, some do fall for it so he has every right to use it again.

We haven't had European football this week, what do you expect him to say?

The bit in bold. I make that out as a £9.9m profit!*

I agree it's an embarrassment, 14th in the league and 14 points after 14 games.

I would rather they got an early goal than one either side of half time, a goal then and our crowd will be restless.

I agree with that although an early goal might calm the crowd down a bit.

You appear to be looking through rose tinted glasses, what do you base your opinion of Pele on? You've claimed that he was further ahead of other players than Messi is now (unless I've read it wrong), based on what?

They were/are both better than anybody known on the planet at the time when they were/are the best.

I named the players that I was able to see and I added Garrincha because of what I've learned since. How many of them did you actually see play? I'm not trying to knock Pele by the way, until recently he was the best footballer I'd ever seen, I don't think that's the case now and I'll stick with that. Well done for defending your fellow countryman though.

How long a manager should get depends on results, performances and to a certain degree the games that are coming up. In that respect, Pardew needs a defeat tomorrow like I need a hole in the head. A defeat and he should go, to be honest I hope that we win and he stays but that doesn’t change the importance of the game to both him and us. Stability didn't help Ipswich when they went down with a manager of the year that they'd had for 7 or 8 years.

You emphasised that Pardew had 'fluked' 5th and that he'd won manager of the year. I've given two managers who won the same award that Pardew won last year. One of them took his team down the season after winning it and should have been sacked sooner than he was for the good of the club.

George Burley, manager of the year 2000-01, sacked the following year when Ipswich were relegated?
