Aye. As usual it's the fault of the other 10 players. Pathetic.

Good performance. I just wanted him to get the ball all game.

Glad folk are starting to see the light.

SWP was just as bad. He's abysmal, and I wouldn't wish him on Sunderland.

He has to start, like. He's far better than Obertan. I don't think he is or will ever be on Cabaye's level as a footballer.

Times like this really highlight why we should be apologising to Ashley. Such squad depth.

Well said.

Chelsea aren't one of the league's best sides. They've got a disfunctional midfield and a pedestrian defence. He looks like a £5m player to be honest; technically gifted but not somebody to build the team around. Best will walk back into the attack alongside Ba when fit. You are idiot if you like best not problem but why every day you say ben arfa is bad best looks like player= 5 cent In 2011 Best has half the amount of league goals than Hatem has in his entire career. Best's a different player and a better one for the front 2, as much as I like Hatem.

Either Santon qualifies for handicapped parking or Pardew's taking the piss with this lad. Terrible in defence and going forward. Spends most of the game looking like a young kid who doesn't have a clue what he's supposed to be doing. Dreadful footballer.

Far better.

Against Motherwell.

f***ing Lovenkrands, man.

Only Interpolic would quote a post from before Pardew was appointed (which none of us wanted, let's be honest) to undermine an idictment of Pardew's undue criticism when he'd been in the job for 3 months. And predictably, a few on here are either too stupid to spot the glaring difference or just too pally with the boy next door who can't afford milk to discard the cheerleading. Come back to me if anyone can find me even slightly implying I wanted us to part company with Pardew after his first game in charge. Until then, shut the fuck up and actually read what's been written. It's those who wanted Pardew to fail (and poured cold water on each victory) that should hang their heads.

I'll let you know if I change my mind and decide to do the LPC.

I never said I was for the Pardew appointment, nor that I didn't criticise him. I said I was fully behind him and maintained he was doing a good job throughout, which is the truth. A bunch of quotes about Lovenkrands, daft Cole references and a cutting insult from a daft disabled doesn't change that. They have no significance. I didn't initially want Pards as manager, and I didn't Lovenkrands anywhere near the team. I've also been behind Pardew as much as anyone on here, unlike the shameful lot that wanted him to fail.

The unbiased voice of Cajun. How we all loved it when you reported your intimate meeting with IP in nauseating detail.

That was before he even got the job, man. Keep going. There's a post about me greeting him with bricks in there somewhere.

he had, i think, 1 ok game, then was the perfect example of aplayer who s*** himself under crowd pressure. forgot to put wayne quinn in that last. Quinn had a decent debut too, but then went to s****. Scored the very first goal in our best season this millenium, though, which counts in his favour.

Beckford is slightly older than Cole was when he released that.

Serrant was OK. I've seen far worse.

I'm sure you're all seeing something I'm not, like.

Really not sure how criticism of Lovenkrands' place in the team has any place in this thread. It's well known I can't stand him as a player and was unhappy when Pardew continuted to select him. Good to see the Hughton set sticking together, though. Never change. Keep projecting.

Eh? I was starting to lose patience with him playing Lovenkrands. I always maintained he was doing a good job.
