I'm not defending Pardew's position but no 'proper footballing manager' would come anywhere near this two-bit circus.

I stopped reading that rubbish when I saw the CB pairing.

We've a great squad according to you. I look forward to seeing how our great squad get on. See how they compete with the other great squads. Nestling among the other great squads come May. Hope you're right. You obviously have every confidence and i sincerely hope you're right. Our squad of players that we own have scored a massive 14 goals up to the start of Feb, a good squad? Yeah right. Exactly.

Under Shepherd we bought to compete. Under this arsehole we buy to stay up and sell for profit. That's all there is to it.

I've been a fan 21 years and this is the worst period by far.

I know Gouffran's been poor recently but fucking hell, man.

We create fuck all without him and leak more goals.

Give the man a chance!

Will you stop with this shit, man? We all know there's been artificial bids made in the past at the end of windows.

Drogba's worked his nads off for every manager he's played under.

Nobody said there was, though I'd probably disagree with that. We were just in a much better place financially and on the field when we didn't target players who'd merely ensure our PL survival and bring in a profit when it was time to sell.

Seems pretty obvious, like. Can't adapt all my posts for the likes of Brett.

It's an example of an owner/chairman showing solidarity with a respected manager's judgement to bring in a young British player for probably more than he was worth. It didn't turn out like we wanted but he more than repaid his transfer fee. As if any idiot would prefer the nonsense we've got now over that.

Aye, the days of spunking £6m on maligned defenders who help us finish 3rd and then score 2 goals that get us into Europe. We're so much better off now, like. Who is this tool?

N'Zogbia? Michael Johnson?

Aye that lot. What an absolute bunch of cunts for being upset that we've made a £50m profit on transfers in the last 3 years.

Well apparently it makes more sense to buy the replacement first. Who the fuck would've thought that, like?

Too expensive for us.

So basically you can't be arsed to commute. I'm not gonna bother with this nonsense other than saying I was a season ticket holder from '93 to 2013 and was happy to commute further when I thought we had an ounce of ambition.

You live in Manchester?

A lot will, but judging by the mood on here and who I come into contact with a lot won't including people who have been going for years like myself - enough is enough and I take no pleasure at all from saying that I stopped going after the 0-3. I've barely even been tempted to go back and I'm amazed that point of view seems to represent a tiny minority. I understand that thousands have nothing in their lives beyond 19 games a football every season but still getting 50K+ every game with this level of contempt and lack of ambition... People are either incredibly stupid or incredibly weak.

Everyone seems to have missed this post. It's open and shut in the FA's eyes, Pardew said he should have been sent off the FA most likely read them comments and laughed.

Probably didn't help that Pardew admitted it should stand, like.
