Then he should have played the fresher kids and not risked them ahead of the biggest game of the season next week. There's no getting around it, he fucked this one up.

I don't think anybody can accurately give a percentage split on that Neesy. I think the bigger picture question marks, around his ability, history etc remain.

Let's face it, he's VERY fortunate he's inherited a squad with a strong team spirit. That is what's got the results. His 'tactics' have meant fuck all. He's learning stuff CH already knew and he's supposed to be an improvement - it's only fair expectations go up. So, my expectations are that we should be better drilled, better tactically and getting better results than we would under CH. I don't think we are and I've always had massive doubts over AP's ability, gravitas and integrity. Credit him if you like - but he'll have a job on changing my mind.

Don't worry about that. Alan's got more experience than CH, so he'll sort out any tactical issues where CH let us down. Oh wait..................

That's exactly what I'm on about. A silly attempt to mitigate Pardew's wins by playing them down. He fucking played one of the three down himself! And the other two will probably be playing Championship football next year. Still, well in Pards. Fucking Pards.

Money? Yeah, he needs it at this stage of his career.

That's exactly what I'm on about. A silly attempt to mitigate Pardew's wins by playing them down. 'Pardews' wins, 'players' defeats? Aye, splendid that.

What gets me about Smith is that he's played with some top top players at times during his career and yet here he is, absolutely fully fit, yet being hauled off cos he's absolutely fucking garbage. He must know he's absolutely shot. Why doesn't he do the decent thing and fuck off to a lower level/retire?

No chance. Colo, Barton and Williamson only ones who did ok. Fucking Williamson - are you having a laugh? He looked liked he'd been fucking doped man!

Biggest game of the season. Avoid defeat and I'll be fucking delighted. Fucking mountain to climb without Tiote though.

I heard him saying 'He'll do well today' before the match. Not AP's fault though, he's only used to working with League 1 players so 'Smudger' probably achieves the standards demanded by him.

He's said he's staying so it doesn't matter if there's a bid or not.

All piss and no shit.

c*** Bollocks man We have put in 3 out of 5 great performances in a period of 13 days from Man City to today. The 2 wins and the Man City game were great performances. And even the spurs game for 45 was ok We dont have the strength in depth to cope with this period. THAT IS NOT APs FAULT To call him a c***. I am embarassed for you Wrong. He needs to take responsibility for his decisions today and he got too many wrong. Let's see how many Pardew Bummers are out in force if we lose the derby. He got 2 decisions wrong today as far as i am concerned I would have played Fergie left back I would have switched Rout and Barton These are just minor details and probably had little effect on the goals we conceded Pardews record so far is Liverpool - Win Man City - Lose Spurs - Lose Wigan - Win West Ham - Win Stevanage - Lose He has made decisions (playing Best, Partnering Taylor and Colo) which have been directly responsible for some of those positive results The guy has made a great start, and todays the fixture list and injuries have gone against him against a fired up professional outfit who have had a number of games cancelled due to the weather It is not about being a 'Pardew Bummer', it is about getting behind the team and acknowledging that he has made decisions that have had a positive effect Also, if he got decisions wrong how come he's not at fault?

I'll always be behind the team but this fucker has no gravitas to manage a club like ours and I've said that from day one.

Growing pains?

Yep. Apology needed.

Worst game I've seen him in. I like the guy normally, but it was like he'd been date raped by Tiote before leaving the changing room.

There's no way that will be rescinded. Dangerous play. We should appeal anyway though, worth a shot.

He's a yes man.

Starting Smith? Playing Perch left back? Playing Barton left wing? Not picking up on Simpsons continous standing off? Aye, on second thoughts, you're right.

Good luck after next week Alan. We get beat over there and the writing will be on the wall bonnie lad.

FYP.

Best team won.
