Some positives. Don't think we deserved to lose that match but matches aren't won based on merit. For 60-65 mins I was happy to give Pards a slight reprieve from Pards bashing but the rest just re-confirmed what a clueless muppet he is.

So it's your fault then?

Hindsight is wonderful but surely 10 mins after we scored we needed a runner to give us an out ball.

Switched the commentary off...fucking SCFC fanclub!

A lot of folk on here have now got what they were expecting..... hope they're happy!

"Crowd absolutely fantastic".... you can fuck right off ya wee shitpipe licker!

OH FUCK OFF!!!!!!!

Surprised this co-commentator can take his mouth off whelan's cock long enough to speak.

thought that was a simple tap in but on replays it looked trickier...well done Cisse!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe just a sign of how far we've slumped but I'm not too disappointed with that 45mins. Honestly thought we'd be 2-0 down at HT.

i thought Ba was giving him instructions.... don't tell me "aim it at mike, I've scored already this season, want him to have a shot".

Our fans.

Our fans sound mint. Just got a glimpse of Pullis....man I detest that guy.

(Snip - we don't discuss that here - BlueStar) don't want to tempt fate but looks like we're playing no too bad.

Are there odds being offered on how long the ball will actually be on the ground in this match? Just as well stoke doesn't have an airport.

Yeah I don't get that, especially in a game where set pieces haven't been working, a short corner to Ben Arfa is a really good option. That said though pretty much everyone who goes to watch us is f***ing stupid and knows nothing about football. Aye but I wouldn't mind it if a 'short to ben arfa' was part of a drilled corner taking routine which had been worked on the training pitch but when they did it it even took their own team mates by surprise! Bet you pards gave them a fergie style roasting in the changing rooms for having the gumption to attempt something different.

The bit I've made bold is probably the no.1 reason why I'm so fucking angry with Pardew atm. If I was to see something different each week, even it was a different set piece or different corner scenario, I'd still be pissed at losing but if I could see there was some semblence of effort in putting things right I would give him a little more slack.

I think the ba/cisse thing is crucial if we're going to get even a point on Weds. Since both are two of his 'big' players and they are fit then they'll both start up top for us. GRRRR!!!! (warning! rant ahead:) When the fuck have we even seen once, just one time!, that the pair of them compliment each other or just basically work together. Heck, we don't even see them talking to each other on the pitch. What the hell does he do with them in training, surely the whole point of training would be getting them working together as a partnership. Does he just stand their and admire their individual brilliance at 'banging them in' but does hee-haw else?!! Anyhow, both will start on Weds, probably until we're 2-0 down and it's around the 60 minute mark and Pards will have ? ready to come on place of Cisse just as they score their third then we'll see a change and a defensive substitution made so we can really 'batten down the hatches'.

That's it. I want Pardew gone. Know it won't happen but he can take a walk.... thanks for the memories but get the fuck out of my bed.

Not even a nigella marathon on the telly is gonna pull me out of this gloom!

oh and if he even thinks about bleating on about not having HBA on the pitch I'll fucking kill him!

We could keep playing till his contract expires and we don't look like scoring. I'm not really a stats kinda guy but looking at them for this game is fucking embarrassing. Interviewer should print them off and show them to Pards at the post match interview and see what he has to say to it.

He's making us play this way on purpose isn't he? That's gotta be it! He wants big mike to break the piggy bank in january so his trying to make a point.
