I approve of that. And the lady in the post above yours. I approve wholeheartedly of her. No idea who she is though.

Because he's been stuck out on the right wing of a 4-4-2, and he's left footed. Fucking ridiculous. Invert the wingers in a 4-3-3, or orthodox sides in a 4-4-2. It's fucking schoolboy stuff.

HBA quadruple leg break coming right up.

Olivier Bernard. Ya Know.

If a defeat were to get Pardew out, I'd take that. Sadly we could lose this 10-0 and the cunt would still not even contemplate walking.

Dead, iirc. To Pardew at least.

Well that was utterly shit. We've had a shot or 2 so I'd say we've finally found our level, except this League 2 side have still outplayed us by miles.

Yes but Alan Smith counts being on the pitch as "almost scoring".

Why do the players we sign from France join us? I would welcome back Ba without any hesitation Did you read what I wrote? I was talking about Demba Ba. Not the entire French population. I too would welcome Demba back, but he won't come. Because he only moves clubs for more money, and he'll 100% not get that here moving from Chelsea. That move will never ever happen. And the reason we sign Frenchies so easily isn't exactly rocket science. Firstly the PL is a better league to play in, and secondly the French tax rates are astronomical on high-earners and are rumoured to be getting even more severe soon. Anyone who moves to us from France is going to be getting a payrise.

I'd choose Everton and I fucking support us. Next.

Look, Ba's a tremendous player. And he's shown in the past that he's happy to move clubs. But ask yourself this: Why does he move clubs? It's always for more money. That's all Demba cares about. Which is fine, footballers have short careers. But does anyone seriously think we'll offer to increase his Chelsea wages? Because I assure you that's the one and only reason he'll ever move before the end of his contract. Forget him. He may leave Chelsea, but there's precisely 0% chance of him coming here.

I never thought I'd say this, but can we have Llambias back please?

Firstly, I make it 20 players: 10/11: Ben Arfa 11/12: Abeid, Marveaux, Cabaye, Ba, Obertan, Santon, Elliott, Cisse 12/13: Amalfitano, Bigirimana, Anita, Good, Debuchy, Yanga-Mbiwa, Haidara, Sissoko, Mbabu, Kemen and Gouffran But we'lll not quibble over that. In that time we've seen 22 leave, for a combined fee of (you guessed it) £60m. So we're 2 men down for a net outlay of fuck all. If that qualifies as giving him all the support the club can reasonably give, then it's bloody unreasonable. So no clause to seal a permanent deal then..... Wonderful. Everyone comes out of it well apart from us.

Arsenal are doing to is what we do to others. Hard to complain. Still think we should tell them to sod off but our desire to sell has been so clear since July, sometimes seeming to border on desperation.

Newcastle United mean a hell of a lot to me. Just it's hard to get worked up about the same shit every single week. Anyway my Saturday nights aren't exactly rock and roll, it's not like I'm posting here in deference to banging Natalie Portman.

I watched todays game with complete detachment. Barely got excited when we attacked (Yeah, I know...) and barely got concerned when we were under pressure. Just felt like I was watching Grimsby V Burnley or something.

Gouffran isn't brilliant, but he's decent and works hard. Miles better than shola who is neither decent or hard working. Cisse has bags of talent but is also quite lazy. None of our forward are brilliant but I don't mind Gouffran.

How is that even possible. Pretty fucking easy when every shot is from 5 miles out. We had 16 shots, but none of them were in decent positions.

Bewwwwwww

Have we had a shot on target yet? Can't remember one. Disgusting.

OK cisse has played badly for a while, but shola has been dreadful for over a decade. Shocking sub.

Cisse off? Oh I give up on life. I really do. Hope pardew gets booed to death for this.

I'm watching this match for free and I still feel ripped off.

Still finds a way to bring ameobi on after 60 minutes. I hate him.

Well pardew promised us we'd be more offensive and I think he's managed that. In fact we've been pretty fucking disgusting. Well done Alan.
