Fair enough, I don't see why we have to wait until we're in trouble before pointing out his mistakes. This isn't the transfer window where we can't complain about our lack of signings until the window is shut, is it?
Using Europe as a reason for our poor performances is cowardly by Pardew. 5 of the top 6 teams in the league were playing in Europe and the teams playing in the CL don't have the opportunity of playing a 2nd team every game. Europe has little bearing on our performances. We've played nearly 100 games in Europe and usually played our strongest team and we've rarely been as poor as we are now.
I'm getting sick of hearing excuses which are based on something Pardew dreams up, it's as if he's reading them off a list.
That's what I thought, still, I knew Simpson would get the blame for it. Having said that, he didn't have a very good game and can have no complaints about coming off based on his overall performance.
Too often today we were attacking with 9 outfield players behind the ball, it's shit watching insipid shit like we're dishing up. Christ, thinking that we've got this bloke at the club for the next years doesn't really fill me with much hope for the future.
I've nowt against the bloke these days. But he's not good enough to be starting games in this league.
Hope you're right anyway.
I agree and look forward to the day when he's no longer at the club.
