Shola so fucking frustrating. Brings an impossible ball down brilliantly then rolls it pathetically to the defender when there's an easy through ball on to put Loven in 1 on 1.

Keeper never even moved, would have been a glorious goal.

Guttierez really didn't do well with that chance. Not that I expected much different.

Why did Loven think he could get that on his left? Just twat it with your right foot ffs, you're 6 yards out. Even if you miss-hit it, you'll still probably score.

Jonas has been utterly anonymous so far. Normally he gets a fair amount of the ball but he's hardly touched it today.

Shola for England!

How the FUCK did Ameobi miss that? Just sod off Shola.

11 is LW for me. 10 is a second striker, a-la Beardsley, so could see Ben Arfa there too. Or 8, as an attacking midfielder. He can have whatever he wants though IMO if he signs full time.

Can't stand not having 2 wingers and 2 strikers, and have yet to see anything other than 4 at the back look comfortable. Plus overlapping fullbacks are fun on the attack. So 4-4-2 really.

Barton's value is what it would cost to replace him with a player of equal ability. And to me, that's got to be around £6-7m if we manage to get a decent bargain, or £9-10m if we can't be arsed to look properly.

Couldn't happen to a more deserving bloke.

Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunt That is all.

It's all talk, but fair enough I guess. Thanks for the updates. Maybe he could start with giving us the true info about when he was first contacted by the club.... Already proven himself to be a fucking liar so I'll struggle to believe a word he says in the future.

I'd support him if he brought us success. But he won't.

Talksport determined to spread out the press conference between now and 10pm by playing 30 second clips every half an hour. Cunts. Turned it off now in protest.

I'd guess the latter I'd say with certainty that it's a bit of both. Know's he's getting fuck all funds and is lying about it because he was that desperate to get the job.

Talksport have some fucking rugby player interview. Cretins. Keep me updated on what's going on, people.

My thoughts on the matter <--------------------------

We all know who it is, it's f***ing Pardew. Stop pretending otherwise, it was Pardew 2 weeks ago, it was Pardew yesterday, it's Pardew today and at the press conference tomorrow guess what? It'll be Alan f***ing Pardew. I want to cry. I know it's Pardew, so does Craig. That's my point. Why say, "We don't know who's here" but, "we know it's not Klinsmann". I was directing my rant at Craig, not you, pretending he doesn't know.

We all know who it is, it's fucking Pardew. Stop pretending otherwise, it was Pardew 2 weeks ago, it was Pardew yesterday, it's Pardew today and at the press conference tomorrow guess what? It'll be Alan Fucking Pardew. I want to cry.

I think it is if you genuinely believe you've secured a top appointment who the fans will appreciate.

The present moment is probably the lowest I can remember feeling. The terrifying thing is that it's likely to be surpassed repeatedly in the near future, as in the next couple of transfer windows we see the sales of Carroll, Tiote, Enrique, Barton, Nolan and Coloccini, coupled with the arrival of Hayden Mullins and Emile Heskey.

he wasn't sacked from southampton for footballing reasons, in fact i remember many of their fans being up in arms (much in the same way many of our fans are) about it. Indeed. Work with a lad who's a Southampton season ticket holder and he reckons Pardew did a terrific job and was their best manager in recent years.

As usual, he'll justify nothing. There'll be an announcement of the new appointment and that's all we'll hear.
