I get where you're coming from but that bit in bold in pretty inexcusable now.
I mean we've had plenty of opportunities to improve on the squad players and replace the likes of Simpson and Raylor from a starting XI but cost has come above team.
Williamson, for all I've been a big supporter of his in the past, should have been on the bench yesterday with the kid from Watford getting a game.
To have had to start Longball Simpson each and every game this season is ok if we're scraping the bottom 5 but given we're pushing top 5 surely Pardew has to have the argument with Ashley over replacing the Cunt?
And, as for starting Raylor ahead of HBA, when we're playing the 'Dog and Duck'.....................he needs his fucking head reading.
I'll reiterate what I kneejerked yesterday, the guy needs to grow a pair of bollocks and show some confidence in our players instead of worrying about the opposition and what Prozone is telling him.
If football was played on a computer we'd all be applying for his job.
