Hannover would be ideal.

yeh then went staight back to 4-4-2 at half time. "Then we went to 4-4-2 and we looked so much better for it and I do not think any fan could argue with that" Actual quotes btw. How is what he said wrong there? We have started the last 3 games playing 433. The quote above is particularly about the Fulham game, and unless you are blind, you'd know that we actual had our best period in that game after half time when we went 442. Nitpicking at its highest! That post was in response to littlelunchbox (ffs) not being happy with that change. Blame him. I really couldn't give two f***s on what clever quotes that can be drawn out of Pardew's arse, because it's just his usual sweet talking salesman bullshitting that he always does,. he has never really played an orthodox 4-5-1 / 4-3-3 its always some mixture of some frankenstein freaky s*** like Cisse or Ba or Best or whoever the hell he wants mash into the formation to be played outwide. as far as i can remember maybe vs Everton at Goodison. thats it, yeh it fell flat on its arse in the first half, but that is just about as much time he has ever given it, 45 minutes. It literally is Frankenstein stuff at times. Players running about everywhere...

Alright you ffs, no need to rub it in!! Only been bought cause he speaks French.

Giroud is so average missed two chances already.

is he wearing his sleeping bag? Yeah. He loves that thing.

Chuckling with anticipation if Reading get another. Love watching Wenger when things go tits up.

Said he was crap at the start of the season and sticking with it.

Quick Neil delete!

Think he'll be a better player personally.

No, it's definitely Ba fault. Not the clowns who gave in to his stupid "half the fee" demand and put that horrendous transfer clause in the contract. Not the first time media spin has been used to turn our players against us either. Think at the time they were thinking they were getting him on the cheap and he was a bit of a gamble (the knee). It's also clear that part of his wages is on a pay and play basis. This is the bit he wants taken out and of course the doubling of wages. For us at the time it was a good deal (and turned out to be a great one) if a little short term in the thinking. He was definitely thinking short term anyway. Can't wait to see who's gonna offer him 80k.

Fantastic post and good all-round analysis. Btw the £ thing in the title is bad taste, there is no way Ba is greedy or a mercenary. A mercenary is someone like Michael Owen. So, what do you make of him getting £3m of any transfer? Even a cursory perusal of his anitics shows he inteded to stay a very short time at Newcastle and is probably dissapointed he heasn't already been snapped up. The one game he was benched all hell broke lose from here to Africa (agents, relatives, friends all jumped up and down with outrage). Orchestrated? Clearly.

But if it's kept within the team it will have the same affect on morale. At least it it's out in the open it will put pressure on people to sort it out, if the quotes on here are true. I have never understood why people seem to think ignorance is bliss. We're on the same side in this with reg to Pards. But I think it smells a bit off doing it on French telly.

The fukin french innit.

Why? Because it does nowt for morale and team spirit, even tho we might agree with them.

Pards is a bit dopey tactically but this is stuff that should be kept within the team imo.

As in results or style? Style. He said hopefully Demba is here to exploit chances from nothing. It was a little appearance Was this on tv? When?

Yup. Think a few have cottoned onto this in the Pards thread. It has been my main worry of late.

French telly or summink?

Fuck this is like Watergate and Armageddon combined.

If he said the first bit then it's out of line. It's the kind of thing you keep private or take up with the manager in training or whatever. Hatem had issues with Pards back in the day but I think he handled it well.

If he goes to Arsenal he'll spend time on the bench...We'll see how that goes Demba Bra.

Transmit the launch codes.

I'm getting a bad vibe off all this Ba stuff.

Nitpicking but he hasn't come from Africa, he's born and bred in Paris. Parisians would chuckle at that Wulls.
