Incognito

Englands so called premier ref stunk the place out too. Absolute appalling game Webb had. Can only assume he's Charlie Adam's father in law.

We all know Williamson doesn't cut it at this level for a prolonged period, but Colo has only really done himself justice in the Mackem game. Been found wanting at some stage in every other League game he has played. Of course because of what he's done in the past, it will be brushed under the carpet.

Some might say they live in the Dark Ages.

When he was in the mood he was a great player and leader, just seemed anonymous more often than not though. Had a definite big game mentality. Always seemed to play well for Romania.

Big match up tonite between Artie Ziff and Tosser Jowl.

Same here but I do believe a correlation can be made between what kind of character they are and their abilities/ideas or lack of. KK for example was an extrovert,a real charmer, a very positive forward thinking person and that's how his side played. Bobby was a bubbly positive person as well, full of adventure and excitable. Dalglish on the other hand was dour and that's how his sides played. Pardew is a bit false if you ask me, he's a working class bloke in an Armani suit with Hugo Boss glasses, a cosmopolitan wife and a dossier for every team and player. He has created an image for himself and speaks a good game, but when that image is exposed, well, he's just a working class bloke underneath it all. We play like his character. We are just a workmanlike team basically. I run my own business and whenever I employ someone I always look at their character first and what kind of person they are. We have one kid working for us, he's a lazy so and so but he's a very funny kid and very likeable, he makes others tick. Give me him over a harder working kid who has nowt about him. You can tell a lot about a manager from their character and just what kind of managers they are or will be. That's a very astute post HTT. Yes I agree, generally the more outgoing, flamboyant the manager, the more attractive football his team will play, and vice versa. See Howard Wilkinson, George Graham etc.

Did Pardew really say it was all going well until we kicked off? That's like saying I was on for a 147 break last night but I missed the first red.

He has no method but hoof ball, we never look threatening. And his selections/substitutes make little sense. Time to part company.

He wont get sacked. He wont walk. 8 YEAR CONTRACT Surely Ashley wouldn't dish out an 8 year contract and then sack the guy a month later ?? Mind this is Ashley we're talking about, anything is possible.

Simpson really is a fucking disgrace. If he's not being offered/going to sign a new contract, then let's play Tav, or someone who is going to give 100%.

But probably not. 2 or 3 iffy results is generally the signal .

Abramovich? Don't think you can level that at him. Most of the Chelsea teams since he bought them have been tedious as fuck to watch.

Shilton, I imagine would be the nearly man...born in the 40's.

You know what, I'm generally optimistic , glass half full type of chap, but I'm getting the same vibe now as what we had in the relegation season. All involved from management to playing staff really need to buck up their ideas.

There is the reason you don't want player power to control your club.

The second I stepped into Justin's House!!

Always rated Michael but never saw what Ridgely contributed.

He's a smarmy looking cunt. Plus my hate for him increased in our Championship season, especially after the Cup game.

Probably the most ridiculous post I've ever seen on here.

Yep, every fucking week. Another yesterday.

Official's interpretation of what is dangerous is killing the game. I really am getting to the stage where I just won't watch anymore. Tackling is an art and has always been part of the game.

What piss poor transfer dealings ? Lack of transfer dealings , yes, but that isn't down to Pardew. And I'm pretty sure you can't blame the manager for the form of the players.

Only 4 hours left for Norwich to hold on.

Well Ryan Giggs' international career spanned from 1991-2007 , during which he would have definitely been a first choice Welsh player....number of caps? 64. He seemed to pull out of every friendly squad that Wales called him up for at one stage..... I think he didn't play in something like 37 friendlies in a row. Mental that like. Of course , the Welsh F.A. wouldn't dare invoke the 5 day rule on such a club like Manchester United.
