The supporters at West Ham hated his style. The long balls to the likes of Cole and Harewood. Tevez and Masch benched cause he had a huff with them. THOSE are FACTS. Reminded me of those games where he preferred Obertan to Hatem (Obertan is the only player he had a hand in recruiting btw). If you remember Hatem had to play miracle football when he got his chance to stay in the side. I mean he had to perform like Maradona and then the supporters started calling for him every game. Honestly it felt like touch and go if he'd every get into Pards good books or be discarded. I remember it well. Pretty sure it was Curbishley who benched Tevez no? http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/10/14/article-0-013EAD82000004B0-24_468x298.jpg

Jesus.

Totally disagree with you. The likes of Cabaye and Ba are exactly who I'd want in my team. They will always graft and fight for you. Same cant be said for Duff, Owen, Martins etc.

Wayhey!

Nice theory. You are wrong! Jonas hasnt ran at a defender for about 12 months. He's finished out wide, its painfully obvious.

I totally agree with you. Things are really poor at the moment but I dont think its the time to throw our toys out of the pram just yet. I'm certain things will improve when/if we get everyone fit and available.

Yeah. We've been a bit s***, but i've taken a bit of solace from the fact we're done with Man U, Man C and Arsenal away, as well as Chelsea at home. I can't remember- which of those have you played so far? Chelski, Man U, Liverpool and you lot.

Good luck wiith seeing Cabaye in the team.

The build-up feels like it has a few times in the past when we've been down to the bones and unexpectedly won. Yep, the gloom on here is unbearable. I was gutted after Sunday but I fancy a nice win tomorrow.

Yep, two or three times I've read that now in the locals.

I'm no snob like but I have to say, you see far better looking women than her walking the streets in town every day.

While I agree with you, he still needs to work a little harder. We dont seem to be seeing the same movement from him as we did last year, little runs round the back of Defenders. But yeah, we certainly need to create more for him without doubt. Should give him the next pen we get. spends too much time facing away from goal, trying to collect hoofs from Williamson, to do that. Aye, thats true enough. Fucking Williamson man.

The Journal -

Well, its wishful thinking? Hoping that he'll see sense and go back to 433 sometime soon.

Would like an Anita, Tiote, Cabaye three.

Was waiting for someone to say that f*** off. Well its true. Jonas has been terrible this season and imo, one of the reasons we've been so disfunctional. If it means we get to try someone else out wide or a different shape then it could potentially work out. Like I say, you never know.

ffs. I rather loose big one match, than have another West Ham game... The way I see it, we have to have a good beating for Pardew to wake up and see that the way we are playing now doesn't work. At the moment he is deluded and thinks we are a top 4 team, just listen to his excuses: West Ham didn't let us play, injured players, tired players etc. Lets see why didn't West Ham let us play? Because they had 5 in midfield, we had 4 and tried to hoof the ball up to our strikers. Why are our midfield players tired? They are chasing the ball all match long, when we hoof it up to our strikers they have to sprint forward just not to see the ball. Defensive we have to chase 4 vs 5 for 90 min. Can some off the players become injured because they are exhausted? Maybe.. But its time Pardew tries something new because we have the players to play the ball. Wishing your own team to get beat man while you are sitting midtable is a joke. When potentially you could win the game and go three points behind 4th. Wake up man, we are playing poorly but we've been in a hell of a lot worse situations over the last few years. Jesus.

Shitballs if thats true. He's been awful but we dont need more injuries. Or maybe it'll be a blessing, who knows.

ffs.

Ah, forgot about that totally irrelevant fact. Feel much better now.

I enjoyed the last 30 seconds of West Brom. Thats it.
