I accepted that a while ago.

The point, Lovenkrands taking his goal well and Krul are the only positives I can take from today. The main reason we got the point was down to Blackpool being unable to finish chances, rather than us deserving it. Coloccini and Williamson were OK and Simpson wasn’t too bad. Jonas started off well and then we as a team struggled to do anything with the ball.

You forget, we already have Ryan Taylor. We also have Ben Arfa who can take a mean freekick.

His direct freekicks aren't very good and usually end up in the keepers hands.

What did you expect?

You're the first to claim that we're doomed.

Agreed, I wonder if Jonas could offer something different?

If West Ham had given Pardew the full season during 2006-07 they would have probably been relegated.

Amazing.

I was saving Stevenage.

Virtually every manager we've had have been judged by somebody part way through a season.

Keegan had a win percentage of 28.57 second time round. I agree that you can get a better idea of how somebody is doing over a longer period and that points per game is better than win percentage, The only problem with points per game, it doesn't seem to be shown anywhere so historically it's almost impossible to compare on that basis.

Derby and Wigan (a couple of times) away.

I've seen a lot worse, even within the last few years.

How?

Horse plop.

Pardew is supposed to be an upgrade on Hughton, he isn't and nothing says that he is apart from some of our fans who seem to think his poor record is good enough.

Dyer made little or no attempt to get the ball, Enrique did. Like I've said, I have no idea why he was starting from where he was but at least he tried.

It is typical of us, we'll get a better idea next week if today is a one off.

I don't see any comparison between what Dyer and Enrique did.

I wasn't trying to big Allardyce up, he was poor, he still had a better win percantage.

The only one you mention who was half decent is Beye and I would rather have Simpson than Beye based on his last season here.
