Depends on our fitness and injuries we pick up in 2nd half of season. I think we will finish 7th or 8th. Surely your taking the piss about Everton

Against stoke it might actually make sense. no doubt who is the footballer of the 2 If we launch the ball then we will be playing their game, and thats the only reason to use Shola. Sissoko centre, Cabaye as he was and Ben Arfa right

Whether I could or not, I'm not going to. Basically, he couldn't. Not every manager has a style of play or blueprint. A lot of managers will set up his side in a way they think will be best to beat the opposition, others will pretty much stick to what they know each game and may vary it slightly. The whole we don't have defined style of play under Pardew is a load of s*** to be honest. Many managers don’t, what’s Jose’s defined style? He changes it up a lot but he wins matches in whatever way he can. Fans are basically criticising Pardew as he doesn’t play the way they think we should play. They want us to just play attacking possession football in which the likes of Martinez/Rodgers/Laudrup strive towards too. End of the day we don’t have that type of manager and I guess that’s why a lot still want him sacked and a foreign manager with this type of philosophy brought in. I would just like to see us go for teams a bit more tbh rather than worrying what they can do. Something we did against Palace to a degree but need more of that rather than hoping to not concede everytime and trying to shut up shop when 1 or 2 up, however he has done very well so far this season and appears to make correct decisions at times, in fact he has been making more attacking decisions recently bringing on players to attack rather than shut up shop. If he sustains what has happened so far and adds to it then nobody should have any complaints

Pardew is meaning british players in the Joe Kinnear knowing what he needs bit isnt he

Just watching the highlights and seeing how key Anita was when the ball went loose or as an option to play back to, he got it, recycled to the wings and we ended up scoring. Even though Palace are down there we still had to go and beat them and they have done well recently and fighting for it but we did them with confidence bordering on arrogance at times. Was good to see

It will be Shola for Tiote and back to 4-4-2, pity as I think the 4-2-3-1 suits us nicely

Ince and a striker please

I hope we see this massive chance. We are 3 points off champs league at this stage, get the two players we need to lift us and go at teams. Would love to see us show that ambition and go fuck it we are coming for you.

He fights for the ball and uses it intelligently, never panics at all

Even when Remy isn't scoring we still are and he is still useful with his movement up there. We are retaining the ball very well in some games and trying to attack from all angles, right, left and centre. We no longer look laboured in our approach and work so hard to get the ball back. Cabaye in that number 10 role is so critical to us both on and off the ball as when we dont have it he is closing their midfielders down and causes mistakes.

Making Ashley look like employer of the year and all round good guy. Player loyalty from Bellamy good to see

Absolutely, just thinking of some positives if he goes. Hopefully we invest in 2 players in Jan and keep him.

Runs all day and intelligent on and off the ball. The anti-simpson we hoped he would be. Unreal fitness levels ( as have the rest of team at moment)

Aye it would be, hoping for draws in both games today also ( keep Swansea n Southampton far enough away and limit Spurs n Everton points)

How much do you think he would go for? I think 20-25mil, the question is could we improve team as a whole by selling if man u came knocking. That would be the only good thing if we got 25 and spent it we could bring in 3 players to strengthen up front, wing and midfield

He has just embraced this area, great to see. He will have so many contacts that he may do well with them.

Has definitely lost weight and looking better on the ball whenever he comes on, great options on bench at moment considering Jonas, Dummet and Taylor cant get on

If we can get 4 points from Stoke and Arsenal hope pards then decides fuck it lets go for it as very little if any threat to relegation and we are total underdogs up there. Hope Ashley/Big Joe see the opportunity and get a striker and winger and dont sell any key players. If we somehow manage to finish top 6 it would be fantastic compared to last season

Keeps things ticking over and gets about a bit, key to us keeping the ball

We actually look capable of build up play at times and retained posession quite well. All players looking pretty comfortable on the ball even Willo and simple passing working. Also a lot more movement and support lately and we look dangerous from set pieces and wings again. We look good with Anita, Cabaye and Tiote all playing and it really helps us control the game

We need to always play the 3 in midfield, so much better posession

Get in

We have played well here.

Get the fuck in
