So glad I never watched this. Wasn't surprised when I checked to find us 2-0 after 20 minutes. I just hope that's the last game he ever manages for any club and Carver can fuck off with him. Where do you go when you let a cb go and the 3 your left with are disgusting. Whoever comes in will have to just attack teams this season in the hope we can get enough goals. Who would have thought a team with Gouffran and Sissoko as wingers would not just blow teams away.

I am in this position now where I want Southampton to hump us badly, sad to feel this way but I can't stand watching football under this negative prick any longer.

Glad im away so don't subject myself to this. Predict Aaron's not even on the bench and Gouffran starts. 2-0 standard defeat and awful performance

Found the article and that bit in particular infuriating. All these years of mostly defensive work, and we've never looked a solid unit anyway. I don't know if it's true but am sure I once heard he trains defensively for four days a week, working on how to stop the opposition, before spending one on setting up and looking at ways to break them down. For what it's worth I think it worked and we did look a solid unit in the season we finished 5th. I think he lucked out with personnel as Cabaye arrived to partner Tiote and we knicked Ba from West Ham, before picking up Cisse in Jan. Not sure how much he had to do with those signings, but Colo and Steve Taylor were also impressive together until Taylor did his achilies. In fact, the back four was pretty much constant which helped. They would still be my preferred two as I don't rate Williamson and in that spell they proved how well they can play together. I've always hated this negativity from Pardew though, the 3-1 loss to Liverpool that year did my head in as Ba was so isolated, but we looked good when he got support. We were 2-0 down by then though as Pardew had worried too much about them before KO The signs were even there that season.... There probably are times to setup to defend and break but he has no idea how to implement it effectively. I don't even disagree with the principle of having solid foundations but our crumble every week plus we cant attack. If we were even good defensively and foundations were built but were not scoring goals and had to develop there then that would be more tolerable. However we appear horrible all over the pitch and struggle like fuck when teams have a go, we look as clueless and negative as our manager. Other teams such as Palace, West Brom etc have shown you can be organised with limited players yet not look total garbage at times. We have survived and performances masked because of talent such as Cabaye, Remy, Ba, Cisse, Ben Arfa. Other clubs have not had that luck and have still managed to appear organised if nothing else. You could also argue that there is not as much pressure on them from fans compared to us and that possibly is a factor, however we have used the same set piece routine for 3 years now, don't look like we have a "style of play" unless "shit" is a style, movement is the worst I have ever seen, it's as if watching a different sport when we don't play, confidence is shot as soon as we concede rather than getting at teams. God I hate watching us, but can't seem to stop and it brings out the worst in me.

He will even forget he made Ben Arfa fat by knocking his confidence so much and think that losing those players were not his fault but fan expectations / pressure / emotions / too many of them.

What happened to him, anyway? Playing in Hungary, I googled him . Also while at it James Troisi and Brian Pinas came to mind ( I know quite a while back). He is playing in 4th division in Holand and Troisi in Belgian league.

Good has disappeared completely. Out of Satka, Streete and Mbabu one of them must be able to break through and not be a Dummet, Huntington or Edgar

Yip, Gouffran all the way. I'm glad i'm in Edinburgh that day so I cant possibly force myself to watch it

Friday

I laughed at that tbf

Few games on the bounce at the highest level should be the making of any genuinely talented player tbf, as we are hopefully witnessing with Aarons. Not that I'm anything other than disgusted with our defensive options. He will be thrown out at right back though rather than in preferred position

I reckon he will actually use losing Mbiwa and Ben Arfa as excuses at some point

Fresh Meat to Pardcunt, time to ruin the lad. At least he will have Aarons for company.

If it's Taylor or Dummett then I really think they should def get away for own sake, worried they will be Pardewed and under perform soon

Essentially a 4-4-2 with Sterling left and Chamberlain right but fluid and Sterling popping up all over the place

Liking the look of this England midfield so far and Sterling and Sturridge playing some decent stuff

Steady on, like. He looks a real prospect, helped us draw at home to Crystal Palace and is obviously better than Alsoran but that's it, for now. Plus, you're all assuming Pardew actually drops Gouffran for him. Starting a teenager away in the south of England? That's too much for Alan to handle. Given his impact against Palace I can see Pardew looking to him for some "fackin magic". It won't be long before he becomes collateral damage in Pardews blame game which will inevitably damage his game and everyone will be saying he's s***, the new Bigi. Presuming Pardew lasts that long. Always forget about Bigi poor lad. Bigi should be in team by now and if anything should have been given chance to replace Cabaye last season. Thinking about him, Abeid, Aarons, Campbell, Armstrong, Satka, Streete its as if Pardew promotes them to fucking ruin them. Why not give one or 2 a run in the team of at least 5 games, I think Sammy was looking useful when he got that run last season and they need more than the odd 10 minutes. Campbell was supposed to be the next big thing, then Armstrong last season (Nowhere to be seen), now Aarons. Surely a half decent manager could come in a blend our experienced players with the new breed and have a good mix of young and old.

Aye regional cuntitude is not necessary Agree, makes us out to be the stereotype the media come out with. I hate him for being a smarmy c***, not the region he is from. The media don't get that we have had managers from that there London and players that we don't hate. He's not even a cockney. He's from sarf London, innit. Wherever, he's from cuntsville as far as I'm concerned, I hated Souness less than this fucked. He'll I hated Kinnear less

As much as I thought people overrated him a bit, gutted that he is gone and the way its been done. Potential match winner on his day and Pardew just hasn't trusted him from the start all because he likes to attack. I remember him tearing Everton a new one in his first game. Pardew will ruin Aarons and any other players with technique and skill, look at Marveaux andbhe would rather have 11 gouffrans than consider attacking teams. This club is an absolute shambles and rips your excitement away every time

Aye regional cuntitude is not necessary Agree, makes us out to be the stereotype the media come out with. I hate him for being a smarmy cunt, not the region he is from. The media don't get that we have had managers from that there London and players that we don't hate.

Bruce has bought very well, they will be above us that's for sure

I can't think of another team that look completely clueless and don't look like scoring goals. Happy to get beat until the cunt leaves now. Would rather not get relegated but it's inevitable under these fuckers at some point again

If and when we lose at Southampton the pressure on him will hopefully prove too much this time round. He has to go the way he prefers players like Gouffran and Obertan over Ben Arfa and Williamson/Taylor over Mbiwa. If he knew how to win games it would not matter but he doesn't have a clue

Can't see us not being in relegation fight now. No goals in team and shocking defence.

He will ruin all 3 of them and sell / farm out on loan next summer.
