Has Pardew had 21 games?

Which stand out players from the squads are we missing?

The two situations are completely different, Dyer just flicked his foot up and the ball went into the net, if it's the one I'm thinking about. I don't know why Enrique was where he was but at least he challanged for the ball, unlike Dyer who was inpersonating a teapot.

Allardyce got sacked with a better record, at least he's better than Kinnear and Shearer.

That hasn't worked in 10 years.

I'm not even sure how we would fit Ireland in, Lovenkrands and him probably wouldn't work and Ireland and Shola doesn't sound much better.

Accepted.

Instead of Lovenkrands might work but he would have to get close to Shola or the ball would never stick up front, not that it does anyway.

That's not for this thread.

No, he's brilliant and I don't know where we'd be without him.

Where would you start him? I would have thought that Nolan's position is the most suited for him.

Leave him alone, it's not his first language.

Guthrie has done more since Ireland came here than Ireland has.

He was poor today and I would have taken him off when Lovenkrands went off because I thiught he'd pick up a second booking. The movement around and in front of him was really bad which didn't help him.

At this stage I wouldn't waste the cost of the ink if we got him for nothing. If we are to play like we did for the rest of the season then I can't see him signing because the players around him will not help his cause.

I've seen him play and he was shit, I can't understand how we got our money back off him.

He was offered crazy money to sign a new contract.

Who wasn't offered a wage rise?

I can't stand anything about either Celtic or Rangers.

That was a different kind of funny.

It was one of the funniest things I've seen at a football match.

What was happening in level 7 when everybody was singing and turned away from the pitch?

He wasn't missed tonight.

He's pissing this league.

The daft thing is that he would have been perfectly justified in saying that he had to go home for the reason he now uses. That makes me sceptical that we've been told the real reason this time. Still, I hope that he plays a blinder tonight.
