Ronaldo

Tiote wants to press and Cabaye want too much time on the ball to make the pass and/or doesn't trust Tiote as the last man is how I read it. I've said a million times on here that they don't compliment each other at all and frankly the situation is getting worse. We do need replacements for several first teamers in the summer and he's one of them.

We haven't even been playing that much long ball stuff recently, tbh. Far too convenient to suggest that, we're just often playing crap for a variety of reasons. Funnily enough we actually played more 'hoofball' when we were less suited to it - ie playing 4-4-2 with nobody to make the runs from midfield that Sissoko does.

I think this is general consensus here. He's a likeable guy, he's just not a good enough manager for us if we want to challenge for Europe every season for at least top half. Yep. Though I am starting to dislike him on a personal level for his refusal to hold his hands up.

We're getting more points and actually playing better football, so I don't know how.

It's mostly a stamina thing with Cabaye. He had a poor run of games like this last season but managed to recover.

The corners are a liability most of the time. It's incredible.

Who isn't? Even people who don't follow the Premier League except for odd games have been sending messages to me taking the piss as Di Canio was all over the Swedish newspapers sportspage. No doubting you or your loyalty for a second, man.

Quality. TT's OK. We're all just a bit pissed off still.

I do think that too many of that lot had no clue what the game meant or the type of pace it was going to be played at, mind. As has been said though, Debuchy, Sissoko and Marveaux in particular showed unquestionable effort.

You'd hope not. The lad's an awful, awful footballer but he's always been a great guy and a model pro.

Would perhaps help that he used to play for us, though.

Lose the next 2 and surely the knives come out for him at SJP which will spell the beginning of the end.

Brothers, we're all in this together, stop with the finger pointing and recriminations.

At least two Who? Felliani is top scorer. They don't have anybody else in the top 20. They have 5 players on 5 goals or more in the league including Jelavic and Felliani who have 18 between them. We've got two - Cisse and Cabaye.

That's hardly surprising considering how negative we are. Agreed, but none of them have track records of doing it, either. It's inexcusable that Shola fucking Ameobi comes on when we need a goal.

At least twice as many as us.

It really is a joke. We've got one goalscorer in the entire squad, man.

How? Let me guess: Throwing darts at pictures of Lambias, Fat Ash and Pardew, or sticking pins in effigies of those three, or perhaps shaking your fist at Fat Ashley in his helicopter? Face facts, we're all totally impotent as far as the current regime goes. The only way to let off steam is to go down the gym and punch something, kick the cat, dog, wife etc, or whinge on forums or with mates down the boozer. tbf to Ronaldo, he once made a heroic and goose bump raising appearance on MOTD berating Williamson after he'd done something rubbish. He's a man of action. What a memory, man. Fair play. If people feel that strongly, make it known. It was made known to Allardyce and he was gone weeks later. Not quite the same thing but better than just posting the same old stuff on here.

Sig worthy, mate.

Today was the ultimate, tbh. Worst game I've been to in 20 years going to SJP. Even worse than Fulham 4 years back.

Just shows to me Keegan knows more about footballers than you do tbh. I do hope you're right because I'm fed up of watching bad footballers. The fact that the majority on here want Perch on the pitch instead of him says it all.

He's playing too deep sp he's got too much to do. Pardew is wasting him. He's very blatantly not fit. Pardew's done enough wrong with making up stuff like this, mate.

Think he's in exactly the same boat as Pardew, tbh. Overachieved for a season and has looked his true £3.5m (at best) self the rest of the time. We'll get nowhere with players like him making basic mistakes and slowing our play down all season. And fucking Keegan's in the press saying that we're vulnerable to losing him this summer? To who, ffs, Norwich?

Christ, what a mess. Just a word to those who 'hate' him so much. Do something about it, don't just abuse him on here and talk down to those offering mitigating cirumstances. Wait till we're safe - if that happens - and make your feelings known. I certainly will be.
