I didn't see it, but with the rubbish on the field in that last half hour in particular I'd be surprised if we managed to cross to halfway line without hoofing it - which always results in loss of possession anyway. Crap men against crap boys = defeat.

Not sure how expansive and attacking you can be with crap attacking players, like.

This is awful, like. Massive fan of Jimmy Nail and his fairly brief music career but I have no appreciation for that one whatsoever.

Crazy. For any other PL manager making Motherwell looking ordinary would be some sort of damning indictment on the performance.

On the other hand Shola had the likes of Bobby, Keegan, Shearer, Bellamy and Kluivert to learn from, and still turned out utter garbage. Think the issue goes a little deeper than that.

At times we made Motherwell look ordinary? That is actually the best Pardew quote ever. Absolutely unbeatable.

Alright Pards Trust me have a look at my previous threads and I hate Pardew with a vengeance - just stating a fact the fringe players are not good enough They are criminally shit - and have been for a long time - in fairness.

Isn't that the game where Nolan knocked everyone's head together and told them all to get their finger out or fuck off? While Chris Hughton was congratulating them on how well they'd played. Looked a bit of a mug, like.

His own DOF couldn't, to be fair.

Nah, we're not talking about the same game. I know we're not. But that's the most recent one I can think of.

Who should be playing instead of Taylor?

Marveaux to Cisse against Stoke.

LW. God I hope this is the end of Alsoran.

Teasy's going mad.

Should we sack him the moment he recovers from a potentially career ending injury?, dont think that's the way a "proper" club would.do.it.. Of course he isn't good enough to be a real part of our plans. But the suggestion we've done something wrong by not freezing him out just as he returns from serious injury is just ridiculous. I never advocated sacking him. There aren't any grounds to do that. Having him playing any sort of role on the pitch, even as a squad player, is pretty fucking unacceptable for a club of this size. Should've been sold years back. No he shouldn't be given a role in the first team, but there's nothing wrong with giving him a squad number until be moves on. He shouldn't be completely frozen out as the poster I replied to suggested. Are you imagining things, mate?

He's right, mind. Raylor really shouldn't be at any PL club, let alone this one.

You off your meds again? Your Dr did say the voices would go away if you keep taking them.

Probably not any longer, like.

Well, yeah. Fucking off a promising, if not especially suited to the PL, CB to in favour of an old wreck who hasn't played well in 2 years is pretty idiotic.

Remy isn't a starter for them with Sanchez there, mind. No chance.

Depends. If Mapou's fee was appearance related there's a chance we break even on him.

:thup: Fucking Zidane. man. Great player but it's embarrassing how folk hype him.

I don't think that's a club thing, that's a manager thing. Pardew in this case just completely ignores Colo's flaws, yet highlights those of others which are not as bad. Managers have favourites, managers like Mourinho/Ferguson/Pep do, thing with them though is they win things giving them the right to do it, and the ammo to back it up. Pardew on the other hand has a string of defeats as his ammo, the idiot. It goes way further than Pardew, this insistence on maximising assets and financial resources to the team's detriment.
