Has anyone got a general feel for Beardsley's approach to the game though? How do they under 21s tend to look?

Southanpton will beat us handily IMO

They just decked West ham at Upton Park, so yeah, shouldn't be much of a problem handling us at home.

We really need these teams to come through for us these next few games, because the pressure is being ramped up now. We can't afford any fluke wins by this clown.

To be honest though, I really can't see it happening anyway. That result against Palace was just a disgrace. Was so sure he'd bagged a jammy victory, and he still let it slip. He's garbage. All our goals we're so unconvincing too. Time to finish him.

I mean we couldn't beat Crystal Palace at home despite them practically gifting us the game. They also wasted chances, after finding it quite easy to carve us open. We still can't manage to get our striker in positions to even get attempts at goal, never mind score them.

Our goal scorers so far are a member of another team, two defenders and an 18yr old kid coming up from the development team. None of the attacking players we have shelled out for have done a damn thing!

The guy is done.

It's coming to a head man, a perfect storm of sorts. He was extremely stupid to jettison two players on the last day of the window when he knew no one would be brought in. It's definitely created some negativity.

We come out looking rubbish, and all hell will break loose. The next four games are teams we realistically should be able to compete with, but under Pardew we are not good enough to do so, and it's really going to wind fans up when they start knocking us about.

We will get humped so bad in the next few games man. Southampton, Hull, Stoke and Swansea. I cannot see us beating any of those teams. They will run riot. They have all had pretty good starts, and all added players that their managers actually know how to use. They all go forward with enough threat, and will not stay back against us. We will get destroyed.

Those two games are now believed to be crucial to the future of Pardew.

 

Well let's do our level best to make sure we help tip the c*** out of the club.

This is really the time for the crowd to get involved now. Fortunately we are going to be facing some teams that are perfect for this scenario, in that they are not considered top teams, but they play the kind of football that will dismantle us due to Pardew's impotence. The fans need to crank up the pressure big time.

i don't believe he'll sack him after 5 league games personally, if the horror runs closer to 10 and the fans are shouting about at him i think he'll act

He will go. The 5th place finish is a distant memory now. We got a number of players in early, who all had much of pre-season to settle in. We've come out looking hapless as we did last season. On top of this he's given up on two decent players that we brought in, and it takes a lot for us to commit to signing players. I can definitely see him being on thin ice.

Bruce would love nothing more than show up at SJP and destroy us, you can be sure of that.

I would have any living thing over Pardew. All species inclusive. Except Allardyce.

Pardew has no doubt been complaining about Ben Arfa affecting the team. Ashley would have let him send Ben Arfa on loan, and essentially lose him for nothing provided things actually improve. Could definitely see that being the case. That guy hates losing money!

At least with Yanga-Mbiwa we will be getting a fee for him at the end of the loan. We've just given Ben Arfa away for nought. If we look awful the next few games, as we already have so far this season, He'll be out.

Ben Arfa out of the club "at any cost" was Pardew's last card, it's the only excuse he had left. Ben Arfa the distraction.

Well he'll cry plenty while he's here that's for sure.

The case of Welbeck’s close friend, Daniel Sturridge, is potentially also instructive. Like Welbeck at United, Sturridge was rarely trusted to play in his preferred position at either Manchester City or Chelsea.

 

He became peripheral and, when he left in search of first-team football, it was easy to justify the sale. Sturridge scored six times in 32 games at Manchester City and then 24 in 96 at Chelsea. It made for a ratio of less than a goal every four games. Welbeck’s strike-rate of just over a goal every five games is almost identical.

 

Also almost identical is the age at which they have started a new chapter in their careers. Sturridge was 23 – the same age as Welbeck now – when he moved to Liverpool and has subsequently rewarded Brendan Rodgers’s faith with 36 goals in 52 matches.

 

It has been a threefold improvement. “I’ve grown up with Welbs and I think he’s unbelievably talented,” Sturridge says. “We’ve been in similar situations, both wanting to play centrally but being on the wing. Mentally, it plays with you sometimes.”

Backdrop makes it look like it's an immigration issue.

yeah its fully out of order but it's really creasing me for some reason

Same here  :lol:

This whole move reeks of a 419 scam IMO.

The tide has well and truly turned, even some of my much less informed friends and acquaintances have had enough.

 

Hatem has maybe unwillingly gave us the ammunition we needed to hound this f***er out.

 

A few losses in a row and I would really be optimistic.

I think he knew exactly what he was doing, which is why he requested a prem club or nothing. as he is eager to show Pardew up, by performing every week in the very league we will be stinking up.

Jack Colback will miss England's friendly against Norway through injury, according to Roy Hodgson #eng

Hodgson has seen him in training and thought forget that.

Little bit bigger so in spoilers.

 

What really happened between Mapou, Hatem and Pardew.

Pardew's face at the end man  :mike:

You're good man 

Love the anger in Yanga-Mbiwa's face. Guy doesn't flinch. Looks like he wants to kill him! Pardew getting shoved back into the ditch isn't enough for him at all.

Honestly, with some of the garbage you guys quote from twitter, facebook and talksport, we have to be somewhat glad the guy is going to be at Hull playing week in week out now.

It's going to be really interesting to see people start chewing their lips when an explanation is sought for that, particularly as we will be achieving absolutely nothing at the same time.

Really looking forward to Welbeck blowing up. As long as he stays fit he'll do really well.

People still talking about HBA wasting his talent here 

Please explain the Tevez and Mascherano dilemma at West Ham then. Not to mention the Yanga-Mbiwa situation. Thanks.

Ben Arfa will ultimately be the reason this guy gets the sack, and that will make the guy an even bigger hero.

f*** off Kaka, man. You're absolute s**** at this and we want him to do well.

The gall of this character 

I'm doing alright at 78th place. My wildcard will be utilised this week with Hatem unveiled to the masses as my star signing of the window 

He'll do great still, don't worry. Even I can't jinx his brilliance 

As I said earlier 12-15 goals and 8-10 assists for Welbeck this season at Arsenal. He's going to look really good in that team playing every week, with Giroud out. Think people will be quite shocked how much better he'll look.

 

He scored ten goals for us last season as a bit part player in a shitty Moyes system. By the opinion some have of him on here you'd think he has went 50 games without a goal. Has went a few games without a goal for England as well but his International record is still good. Was Englands top goalscorer in 2012.

 

Manchester lad, good ability, a lot of potential and a hard worker. I'm a bit gutted he's gone to be honest.

The guy wasn't played upfront often enough, due to the great options you've always had upfront, and I think this has clouded people's judgement tbh.

He'll do really well, and he'll be a great foil for the plethora of attacking midfielders they have playing off the front man at Arsenal. Not only will he hold up the ball, but he can set people up too, as he sees a pass.
