Marveaux and Shola are definitely good enough to be in a 'squad' of a team that will finish from 7-12 in the league. Elliot might be as well, how good are reserve keepers normally? Shola is not good enough to be in a squad that finishes bottom of this league never mind 7th, he is shocking. Marveaux I agree with, although Pardew has him locked up somewhere in fear his creativity will get out

3 times he got in a good position and Cisse made the run for a slip in and he took another couple of feints before being tackled or having shot. He hasn't got the vision for a number 10 imo, it's all too slow. He doesn't know when he should pass it first time or whatever, he should know this stuff before the ball is even at his feet. What he's thinking about is how he's going to beat the next defender though. I don't want to sound like im hating on him btw because he's my fave player and one of the best i've seen here, i just prefer him on the right where im happy for him to pick up the ball and cut it or whatever. As a 10 though, the passing isn't there for me and you need that passing vision. I don't think Gouff and Siss should be classed as defensive simply because they work hard and track back, think that's harsh tbh. Valencia for Man Utd gets the same sort of stick for being defensive when he isn’t. Just hard working and you want that but some players just won’t really do it like Nani/Ben Arfa and it might jeopardise their place in the side under managers such as Pardew/Moyes. Certainly Ashley's mentality regarding the cups isn't good for club but i think it's a lame excuse for footballers to go out on the pitch and not care. Fans still pay there money to go and watch them and if they can't give 100 percent for them if not Ashley then that is wrong. Pardew is just giving a free ride knowing his job isn’t under threat for performance of the cups, he still wants to win one though and i think if he didn't you would have seen likes of Bigi/Sammy/Obertan/Dummett from the off. It wasn't to be though and we yet again need to wait till next year. Agree on Ben Arfa, I don't think he has the attributes at all, his off the ball movement is not that good either, tries too much himself and does not have the vision. He looks lost when deployed there imho. He should only be deployed on the right for us. Regarding player mentality, if your boss was being negative all the time it affects your staff and their way of thinking, they also doubt how they should be doing things - if you are saying they should always make sure the other team don't hurt us, their eye is off the ball going forward. If someone says this or that is not my priority and as a member of staff you hear that, you realise it doesn't matter what the outcome is. You should try and win every game in every competition in my opinion

I am talking about playing FIFA btw, don't do it when playing football with real people each week as that would make me mental

Good article by Stuart Rayner, not that the club will give two shits

Yeah...just when you're a kid... Wrong to do when your a 34 year old married with kid? - Coz i'm fairly sure I still do this shit when the wife is out or can't hear me

Agree with this, negativity rubs off on staff etc, similar situation if my boss does not see a project as a priority it goes right down my queue and I stop caring about it.

He actually put out a half decent team though no? Not the first XI but better than most people expected. I agree we should go all-out for the cup though. The team looked like a team that should beat these, we just play too negative and don't attack with enough purpose, he takes the blame for that. He get's credit for getting impressive wins against Spurs, Man U and Chelsea but fucking hell some of the performances against teams well below us have been shocking. Gouffran and Sissoko work hard and are designed to support the full back when defending rather than taking the opposition apart and is plain negative. He no longer need Jonas because he now has 2 perfect defensive wingers. It works when trying to keep tight and organised against the bigger and more ruthless teams but you need a bit of class and attacking ability against the smaller teams and he fails to see it, thinking containment and grinding out results will get us somewhere.

I think the team looked strong enough, however it's his tactics time and time again. We need to attack teams more at home and be more ruthless, we constantly look negative and fall apart in opposition half. He manages and coaches that team and should be able to get a performance out of them. He is so fucking negative about everything and shit scared about what the other team will do no matter their level, just look at his comments about how we contained them, contained them fucking hell man, they made a number of changes to, are recently promoted and don't have the level of players we have. We should be doing more than containing them, we should be fucking battering them.

Just interest, fuck me man we know there is interest Sky are such cunts

Joe Kinnear has resigned, that would be best news

If it's a new contract I will cry Probably Shola leaving as that would be positive Please be signing Messi and Ronaldo - or Tom Ince and Gomis

Marveux, Cabaye and Taylor - you just been reading the news?

Please be true. They have to be sick of his negativity

I wasn't at game, just jumped on bandwagon, mainly because I think he's fucking shite and without seeing his 10 minutes today kind of know how it went and can visualize that shit

I don't think I would have posted that, mainly because your admitting to watching that shit

Pardew only uses around 13-15 players a season, that should do You mental, what about injuries we need at least 17 - no point keeping anything behind first team as lets be honest they get fuck all look in

Another option of course if they really hate the cups, just don't enter the fuckers in the first place, I guess you can opt out? Then you can probably trim your squad a bit more as you don't use half the fuckers in other games. In fact fuck it lets just keep around 25 players and release all youth levels, reserves, first team extras etc. Job done and lean as fuck

With the negativity I am surprised they go as much as they did. £20 when you know we don't care about the cups and likely won't try too hard. Funnily enough a lot of people have more sense than to go to that. I want nothing more than to go to every single match and see us put up a fight and have a real go but it rarely happens. Not wasting a penny more than my season ticket on this s*** from now on With all due respect, the only outside chance of anything changing involves you packing in the season ticket as well. Alan 'it's science against me' Pardew. I get that, but not sure if I want to do that considering the alternative is family days out rather than drinking with my mates, call me selfish Haha, yeah I can understand that mate. And I can call the cup games my compromise

That's how I feel today but know i'll cave in and buy a ticket anyway. They say no money in cups but there is around £500k lost today in tickets and more in other matchday revenue, surely the c***s should see that and with a bit of effort they would get bigger crowds Despite Pardew's blarney and what people are assuming here, Ashley won't be happy at going out of the FA cup. It's not the same as Europe, it brings in money without that much expenditure if you get a decent run going. He shouldn't be happy as like you say there's still revenue to be made from it, especially when their charging £3.90 for a bottle of Corona in the platinum club. Yip and he won't be making that when loads of kids turn up to match, he want's the adults that will drink and buy their kids food and drinks. As I reluctantly do, £3.70 for a bloody hot dog! Also programmes of course, I bet there are around £20-25000 of normal match day crowd that spend around £10+ each on a matchday either in club bars, merchandise, food and drink in the ground etc. He loses revenue by being such a cunt

He should be under s*** loads of pressure, he isn't and he'll not be while pricks sing for him to wave at them. We could turn in Sunderland's form for the second half of the season and he still wouldn't be under any kind of media pressure. Last season 47pts (ie our 33 plus their 14) would have been good enough for 8th, which tells you just how mediocre most of the league is. The league is shocking, turned to utter shit. It's now just a money league thanks to the premier league brand etc. I wish it was like Keegan days or Robson and not just because we were decent. There was a bit more honesty to football and teams wanted to win

Don't the away club get a percentage of gate receipts in cups, i'm sure they do in this or league cup

It killed me not being there today before the match and I was thankful for not be subjected to that shit after it, i'm the same now, I won't fork out my hard earned cash to watch a team and manager that don't even want to be in the competition
