It was never going to happen, man. As I've said a million times on here, Allardyce, as dislikeable as he is, always finds a way to grind out enough points. He's the best at finding ways around having a shit squad of players. At least the England job went tits up for him.

Just shows Pardew for what he is, no? A shit manager who had Palace playing beneath themselves.

Will you knock this relentlessly tedious shit on the head please?

Me. p*ssed. On train back from Birmingham. How was the game? Awful. We never looked like scoring really other than the mad scramble which ended up being disallowed. Odd. Figures (who may or may not have been at the game) reckons we had loads of clear cut chances. He's a fucking liar imo.

Nice little snapshot there of why we don't want Leeds back in the PL.

It's not like you to comment on something without knowing anything about it, to be fair. Which is why I asked the question in the first place. I just wish someone else had responded to it.

I've not seen the game. But knowing you and the way you've structured the response sounds like we didn't have any.

The (wrongly) disallowed goal Ritchie late on with a good save Gayle came very close to latching onto one but the keeper just about got it away Murphy early on in the second half, their keeper with another good save Couple of half chances in the first, but not clear cut That sounds like a no, tbh.

Did we have any clear-cut chances?

2nd might be the best thing for us. Should we go up we need huge investment in the summer; practically a brand new Xl and whatever will contribute to convincing the arseholes in charge of that, the better.

I'm not comfortable at all, like. In the last couple of months we've been extremely reliant on grabbing goals against the run of play and then seeing the game out. Against shit like Wigan and Burton I can easily see us playing ourselves into trouble in our own half early instead of taking the game to them.

Rafa's got it wrong plenty too. Rafa made it clear we needed two new attacking players and was told that Charnley or that horrible old cancer Carr knew better. Not Rafa's fault.

A lot of pressure on the next 2 home games. Hopefully Gayle's fully fit for them because if not we'll struggle.

Since Gayle got injured we've been drawing far too many games against sides we should be turning over, like. Managing 1 goal in our last 3 games against opposition like that just isn't good enough.

Sounds like our set pieces have been very poor.

Yep, reluctant to drop the hammer, which is obviously a massive part of his game. Still our best player by a distance, mind.

loathe Mourinho but Keane should be ashamed of himself there Why ? Keanes showed himself up talking crap plenty of times but he's spot on here. Man who can't manage either a football team or his own emotions going to town on one of the most successful managers in the modern game. Urgh. Mourinho can't manage his emotions (see eye gouging etc) and would he have done as well at Sunderland ? Give keane a premier team and the ability to blow most out the water financially and we'll talk. I'm not a mourinho fan. Fair enough, but Keane is a f***ing arsehole: self-centred and psychopathic. He was a bully as a captain not a real leader and obviously was going to struggle as a manager, particularly to sustain the kind of consistent relationships you need in order to keep the whole team onside (so to speak) and motivated. He captained Man Utd to their most successful spell in their history Yep, I 'm sure his captaincy added value, especially in the Champions League final. You really don't know what you're talking about, like.

No Shelvey or Gayle to take it.

Don't think so. Ste and him had a little thing, iirc.

A lot of money.

Sounds like Alsoran is ripping them apart as per.

Dis ownah, da players etc.

Your 15p accumulator fucked?

In fairness our worst player is Colback and he'd probably start every week for most teams in the league. Not a chance from what I've seen. He wouldn't get into the Bristol City side from last night and they're just above the relegation places.

You said you wanted to keep many of them for next season?
