Cisse isn't playing shit, he's unlucky. Gotcha.

Laughable, once in a while would be good. Who is demanding that we do it week in and week out? My guess is that nobody is. Interpolic isn't happy with doing it 3 times in 3 seasons. I'd love loads of trouncings, but Everton. who we want to compete with. have only done it 3 times in that period as well. Spurs are more of a champions league contender and only managed it 6 times in 87 games too. Holding onto that Everton stat for dear life It's such a zinger. I thought Mick must have missed it because he missed that it was Interpolic who was asking how often we'd won by 3 or more. TBF, I've opened it up to all the teams to have been in the top flight in 11/12 and since, the number of trouncings doled out (3 or more) does have a few smaller clubs putting Pards to shame, but he's not the worst.... 21 Man City 15 Arsenal 15 Man U 14 Liverpool 13 Chelsea 8 Fulham 7 Swansea 6 Spurs 6 WBA 6 Sunderland 3 Newcastle 3 Everton 1 Villa 1 Norwich 0 Stoke

So you're saying we should score 5 every game and dominate for 90 mins? What planet are you on!? Hysterical.

I've been called a Pardew sympathiser after most results, not just the last 3. It's bollocks because I was critical of Pardew 2 seasons ago and I know there remains a lot of the same concerns today. The case for anyone that wanted him sacked is weaker now than at any time in a year though. And I won't buy into complaints that we should be critical of a home win where the opposition only hit the target twice. Contrary twat that I am.

Phew. Wouldn't want to arse anyone

But people arent saying "sound" are they. They're pissing their pants because the opposition have the audacity to have a period of possession and Pardew allows it.

If you told me we'd be above man city in a chunk of 4 with spurs and man u having just knocked 3 past Chelsea and spurs for no return i'd have said you were a nut bag.

There's a few posters on here who seem to think that being a contrarian is the height of debate. It's the only reason I can think of for continually ignoring what's in front of them. Everyone is aware of our limitations. It's not contrary to accept that despite those limitations we're much better off than ANYONE had any hope we would be at this point and look forward to the next few games with more optimism than we've had in a year now. I prefer that than a pissy disregard for 9 points from 9 because we conceded 1 in 270 minutes.

Whey it seems pretty demanding. 8th top scorers in the league and complaints that we don't win by 3 or 4. There's only 2 teams that have beat Norwich by 3. Man city and Arsenal. When Everton looked comfy against us at half time it demanded a response and we won the second half 2 nowt. Norwich were looking for a similar response... and we contained it.
-
3 Same as Everton have managed in the same time span. Childish demanding we should be spanking teams week in and week out, with 90 minutes of total dominance. The regularity with which we switch off is annoying, but Everton standard is about the peak or realistic expectation for us.

aaah yes, i did say that, and you're right to pull me up on it tbf...i don't think we'll finish above them but yeah we might not be a million miles away from them, it's not beyond the realms of possibility anyway as stated you can have your bet if you factor the points swing for europe against swansea Aye, ok then. Tenner says we'll finish 5 points or more ahead of Swansea @ 4/1. ..and the gap moves to 6 points

It's put me in mind of another passage from Fergie's new book... http://i40.tinypic.com/k99wl3.jpg If Liverpool, Mackems, Chelsea and Spurs had gone to expectation we'd have 3 points from them. As it is 7 points is a superb return from those fixtures. The disappointment of the derby and the reaction we've shown should spur us (no pun intended) on to a run in the next 3 games...just disappointing we have to wait a fortnight for the next game.

In terms of having a class new striker and the January signings starting to settle, most definitely. Doesn't excuse the summer like.
-
There you go then, nobody whatsoever is willing to say they support Pardew.
-
I don't see excuses, no downers about tiredness, it's all positive stuff about a result at Spurs and performances so far.
-
Think there's only one Pardew "supporter".
-
I don't imagine anyone here pores over every word other managers say.

Sometimes a manager uses euphemisms to protect his players. Rather than say "Ben Arfa looked shit and he's getting dropped like a teeming ho, until he bucks his ideas up", Pardew suggests "he looked tired and might need a rest, so he can come back strong as we know he can be." Criticism is rightly kept in the dressing room. If you want an honest manager follow whichever club Di Canio drags through the mud next.
