Wonder what Allianz would say to that... How so?

A lot would change if the PL took onboard the German model of club ownership. But it turns out the PL don't give a flying fuck about supporters. Football on many levels is finished.

CL rules are very strict about advertising and there are the core 8 sponsors that can be shown at grounds (Sony, Mastercard etc..)..Hence he has no interest in developing the club into this arena. He wouldn't be able to advertise SD during CL matches..So in his eyes why should he bother?

Gone after we lose to Hull. Put it in the diary.

Sounds like Haidara showing why he should start for us.

Think Everton will finish above them. The def still isn't right and the midfield is average.

Started well but took a bit of a kicking.

....and no Falcao to distract the defenders.

Pardew is part of the problem, but not buying players to a particular game plan is the other half of it. The longer we keep buying value or players for any position cause their contracts are running out, the team will never feel like a team as there is clearly little aforethought. Look at today. We didn't have a proper striker (finisher) on the park, no wingers (I see Cabella as a loose forward can play either side)...a rookie left back and one proper CD. The mf holding players Anita and Collback are too similar and Sissoko (I still have no idea what his best positon is)...If he's meant to be supporting the striker he doesn't do it, he can't play on the wing as he can't cross etc... Gouff who should be a bit part player in any PL season has become a regular and I have no idea where he was meant to be playing. He might be that rare bird that defends, mops up everywhere and is on hand to fluff one chance a game.. Yours confused. P.

Should have scored. Not sure why he slipped on his arse...Only needed a side foot into the other corner.

Imagine if had a real striker and Hatem playing, could have nicked a point. Good effort. Cabella looks tasty - Riviere a bit headless.

Got something about him.

If this is true it's f***ing comedy hour. Christ... Ba said the same in the French media just before he left. "You expect people to pay the ticket when you kick the ball from the gk to the forward"....Something like that.

The worry is that throughout Pardew's tenure we've always struggled badly when he's not had one player in white-hot goalscoring form over a particular period. Cisse's done it before of course, but looks a shadow of the player he did when he joined. It was Carroll, then Ba, then Cisse, then Ba again, then Remy. Cabaye was the only other player that was scoring fairly regularly during that time and obviously he's gone. Pardew evidently needs one player to take the responsibility for scoring the majority of our goals. I know little about our signings; do we have that one player? Definitely Maybe. No.

Love the second sentence.

Of course it's not just about the weight. Main reason for him not playing last season is probably Pardews yellow belly tactics. But that doesn't mean everything said and done is a conspiracy against Ben Arfa. Pardew the Yellow King.

Made up.

Aarons looks really good as does Hothe Pereth. Haidara way ahead of Dummy.

HatemBenCabella will be the next to listen to his boring drivel about tracking back and percentages.

People will finally get it when Cabella is dropped/benched.

Season starts tomorrow I take it.

Pardew has broken him. All those games he was sat on that bench or coming on for 6mins and all that shit.

People who dislike him, dislike themselves.

Couple of weeks training an he'd be fine. This is all being spun by the regime to get him out and counter fan support of him.
