By the looks of it we might have already seen Ba being lined up for that one, if he's still here. Because a few of us are saying he needs a rest?

Can't wait to see the back of him, like. Not being a competent footballer is one thing; making a mockery of his defensive responsibilities is quite another. On a regular basis this season he's managed to do both.

Really think we're overcomplicating this, like. He'll be back to somewhere near his best next season post-Ramadan. We just have to accept that he doesn't have the legs to play this much Premier League football.

If Krul was at his best we may have been 2-0 down at HT instead of 4-0. I think that may have mattered, personally.

Right on both counts.

I'd be very, very surprised if he leaves now, like.

No injuries.

That simply isn't true. Nah, it's not. He's been contributing pretty well, he just isn't the same player that p*ssed all over the league from October to January. He's been putting in good shifts while not scoring, but today was his worst performance of the season for me. Today and the Bolton game.

He's a terrible player, like.

That simply isn't true. Nah, it's not. He's been contributing pretty well, he just isn't the same player that p*ssed all over the league from October to January.

I'd be interested to see how many miles he covers, how much his levels drop in the second half of games, and how much they've dropped since Feb. Just think it's mainly natural fitness problems, but the new formation is obviously playing a part too. He looked like an absolute superstar as a second striker with Best doing the donkey work.

Back to insulting him again. Wondered how long it would take. Why is it ok to insult Mike Williamson but not Alan Pardew? When did I insult Williamson? I offered a fair appraisal of him and didn't resort to calling him names. Plus, one's done a superb job this season and the other has let us down time after time. No he hasn't Who hasn't what? Williamson and what you said Right. He's been a rock. He's done his best and made some mistakes, just like Pardew. It's MADNESS to call the latter names though? We're on 62 points with that squad. Anyone calling Pardew names is a f***ing idiot. Williamson is part of that squad you utter wum. Which is exactly why Pardew doesn't deserve to be called names. Have you figured it out yet? Nope Ok, I'll try to make it simple for you. We've overachieved massively this season with Championship players like Williamson, Raylor and Simpson regularly getting a game. Pardew is a big reason for that. He's done an absolutely magnificent job to get us to 62 points. Anyone calling him names is a f***ing idiot. Hope that helps. Maybe Williamson's even worse than he looks and is overachieving as well? Maybe he doesn't deserve to be called names under those circumstances? "Never misses a chance" WUM fail. Yeah, I think Williamson's not good enough and you think Pardew's a moron and an inferior manager to the Wigan boss. Who's the WUM? You're an embarrassment.

I'm not insulting him personally because he's probably doing his best. He's a good bloke and a top pro but a very, very poor footballer and a deficient defender. Ok? Pardew's a hero for the way we've conducted ourselves on the pitch this season. He's done a superb job and that should be recongnized with praise, not personal insults.

far from having an excellent game though. Man, I'm agreeing with you, Madras.

Nah, he was decent at times.

He really needs a rest. Till August.

Never misses a chance.

This is the only game I can see us getting some points from. Think we'll draw.

Don't see it getting too much beter in the final 3 games, but it's been a great season. New signings needed and all that.

Hes probably had 2 or 3 decent games, he's been crap the rest of the time. 5 or 6 decent games I'd say. Agree with the rest.
