The journalists are a big part of the problem, mind. All of them construct cliched defences for the ownership, model and Pardew like its part of their job description.
Best worked because he was unselfish and prepared to get his head and feed on the end of rubbish that would only result in chances for other players, not himself.
Well said. We were beaten before kick off with that pathetic lineup but the players on the pitch totally let us all down today. Too many of them escape criticism because they're frankly adored without having done a fucking thing in our shirt to deserve it.
Really? Based on what?
Wigan and Villa being nearly as woeful as us and us having more points. Stoke are nosediving too.
Stoke have won their last 2 games, man. What a stupid thing to say.
Absolute bollocks. He played shite today but he's a good backup keeper.
He most certainly isn't. He's an honest pro, but ability-wise League One crap.
Cheap though, so who cares?
what you on about the battle? we were all the bloody place because of the moron in charge and how he coaches and sets up.
Continue looking for excuses for Pardew though.
Tell me how someone being up the battle would change anything when we couldn't near any of their players?
"The Battle"
We went down with Carroll/nolan/barton/duff/taylor/ shearer in charge. Total rubbish
Fucking Duff?
