At least Hitler could organise a decent attack.

People saying he'd be ok for a championship club are possibly forgetting we could well be one next year. Might have been worth keeping until our fate is decided.

By god this is tragic.

My stream's gone down. Feel relieved and I'm not sure I can be bothered to find another.

DNA and fret. What a fucking melt.

Happy with that. I assume we'll line up with: Mitrovic Perez Wijnaldum Sissoko Anita Shelvey Which could, IMO, work OK.

The difference between Anita and Colback is that Anita is a footballer.

Easy to tell if it's Tiote. Could you see others mouthing the word "Shoot" whilst the ball appeared to be bobbling apologetically away from him towards the corner flag?

Of course there is, i'd be shocked if there isn't. This really. 100% expected an optout clause, I'd have been astonished if there wasn't one.

Pay Rafa £175k basic (McClaren's quarter of the season wages) plus £10m if he keeps us up. Everyone's a winner.

I don't understand this at all. I'd love him to walk, of course, but he'd be utterly crazy to. If he just sticks around for a few days (possibly hours!) more, he gets a few million quid. I don't care how much I was hated, there's not a job in the universe I wouldn't put up with for a million quid a day. Suggesting that in some way he shouldn't is bonkers.

He probably has meetings about what meeting's he's going to have. Power point is involved, with sounds and effects. I bet he does a mean slide transition The plan is probably to make McClaren endure about 6 hours of PowerPoint, by which time he'll be fast asleep when the last slide is presented simply saying "You're fired". He'll then whisper "Any questions?" as quietly as he can before shuffling out, leaving the "You're sacked" slide on the screen for when McClaren wakes up.

Interesting choice if so, we need a miracle. At least we might get more crosses in....[sorry] Sadly he's not a fan of crosses.

He probably has meetings about what meeting's he's going to have.

Pardew's gone Full Mental Jacket.

The only possible way to stop up is to sack him. Immediately. Not saying we would stay up, but it's the only way to even contemplate it. The team has no direction, no passion, can't attack, we play the wrong people in the wrong positions. It's not going to get any better at all with him in charge. Not slightly.

http://www.holmesdale.net/page.php?id=106&tid=158648&page=4 Doesn't sound like Pardew, does it?

Of course she's staying with him for the cash, but I can barely blame her. Her choices are: 1) Pretend to stay with him for a bit even though she probably hates him. She's probably not having to sleep with him as she can just tell him she's too upset and ultimately he's probably off to jail imminently anyway. Keep up this charade for a while and she can milk a convicted nonce for hundreds of thousands of pounds and never have to work again in her entire life and have plenty of cash to give her kid the best in life. 2) Leave him now and claim the moral high ground but spend the rest of her days struggling to pay bills and working 45 hour weeks until she's 65 stacking shelves in Tesco. I'm certainly not running down anyone for working at Tesco, but if option 1 is available I can't really blame anyone for taking it.

pardew hatred aside, we could do with palace winning tbf. If we go down, it's because we deserve it, not because of what other teams have done. So I'll enjoy Pardew's descent towards ineptitude irrespective of who they lose to.

Yeah, I agree. It's a bit harsh on Ted.

It'll be like watching 1000 Ian Ws wake up one at a time.

Hope he goes to use the supermarket's "10 items or fewer" lane and gets stuck behind someone with eleven items.

Couldn't remotely care about the price. Not a single penny of it is coming out of my pocket.

Play wingers as CMs and play CMs on the wing. What could possibly go wrong? Fucking idiots.

Beyond gutted. RIP Pav, a player I genuinely admired on many levels.
