Armstrong should be starting ahead of him every week.

This is so fucking depressing.

Is he a Viking? Can't wait to see Pardew's head on a pike. The fish? http://i.imgur.com/zoI2y2s.jpg Well, why not.

I'll go with this one.

Alcohol poisoning within 30 minutes.

3 games left, and the only thing stopping us from doubling our record losing streak is a home game against Cardiff.

nice gif

With Remy on the pitch, its a bit like a cripple with a knife.

Shelvey still thinks he's the new Steven Gerrard it seems.

YES

Hope Liverpool break the premiership's all time goalscoring record when they play us at the end of the season.

God dammit Debuchy, stop being so good.

How NO feels at the moment: http://d24w6bsrhbeh9d.cloudfront.net/photo/5429958_700b.jpg

Is Gerrard really the best holding midfielder you've got?

Hmmm.... just noticed this little snippet from Tom Huddlestone, http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/apr/14/tom-huddlestone-arsenal-hull-city-fa-cup-final *sigh* sadly enough, that actually worked that game.

We won the possession like

Tbf they created roughly half as many chances as Southampton did, which means they should have won 5-0 if they had a decent striker.

Probably true to a point. The club don't value cup runs or a second tier European tournament because they don't generate enough revenue. They've made that clear. I'd bet you Ashley would bite you hand off for a bit of the champion's league money, though. I think he wants us to improve, but in very specific ways, on very specific terms. This summer is the big test. He's taking a more active role in the club so here we'll see what his intentions are. If it's just more of the same then I'll hold my hands up and admit defeat. No ambition, no desire to be anything more than mid-table. If we invest then I'm sticking to my guns. Early indicators, with the upgrades to the academy, are that he's going to double down on youth and try to get the best out of kids as offering value for money. I like that prospect. It was great seeing the likes of Bassong and Krul come good. As a fan I find that exciting. The big test is whether he chooses to stick with Pardew or not, and how he replaces him. Get Laudrup in and I'd be reasonably happy with The Fat One.

I like Milner tbh, think he has much more about him than say, Henderson. That red card tackle at the end of the Liverpool - Man City match pretty much sums up what I think Henderson is like, mind you.

Is that true though? I can't remember a season where someone didn't say that. Having them do the double on us truly took something special, however.

That's assuming the clique doesn't have Pardew at the very center of it. Judging by Elliot's comments, the dressing room is most likely divided between the English and the French with a few like Colo and Cisse flitting in between. While this arrangement isn't anything out of the ordinary in most cases, the split probably became a hell lot more acrimonious when things started to go pear-shaped in the last couple seasons.

We know that Ashley doesn't give a fuck about what the fans think. We know that Ashley doesn't like to spend money. Why would he hire someone just to use them as a scapegoat? Did he suddenly start to care what the fans think or did he suddenly decide he liked wasting money? I see little evidence of either in any other aspect of the club. If he was so keen to keep the fans onside, why would he hire Kinnear in the first place? Why wouldn't he hire someone we respected to be DoF then use them as a scapegoat? Wouldn't that be more plausible? It just doesn't add up. It's fucking bonkers. Then, what do you think Mike hired Kinnear for? I don't necessarily buy the line that he hired Kinnear to not spend money, I think he just likes the old bat. But if you think that appointment was made with the best interests of the club at the heart of it, then you have to be seriously delusional.

Could we hire a PI to dig up enough dirt on Pardew to make even the fat one rethink his stance?

Has anyone really been far even as decided to even go want to do look more like? Did you just have a stroke? Reading that nearly gave me one.
