remember we had a few making debuts - big step up to go straight from ligue 1 to the premiership - think they got a shock second half

would have been a european cup winner if it hadnt been for the red scum

few of them seem to be laughing at williamson

to be honest, MA has probably been thinking - how do i get to keep pardew but not get relegated - buy a few more frenchies and hope none of them can understand a fucking word of pards' team talk/tactics.

24th january.....hence forth "mike ashley day"

getting really excited with all these new players, but just hope it's not a case of too much, but too late

"marveaux was drifting out the game" - ffs, what about the 2 buggers that hadnt drifted into it in the first place? also, the national press/media I can understand as I am sure they never watch th whole game, and every match report has an agenda, but the local press should be ashamed of themselves. they need to press pardew a lot more and call him out when he is obviously contradicting himself.

what's sammy been saying?

it's all over the media that pardew has admitted the substitutions were a mistake. that is bullshit. read his comments and it is obvious that he thinks with the benfit of hindsight he wouldnt have taken marv off as cabaye couldnt finish the game. even if cabaye had been fit to play 90 minutes, it was still wrong to take marv off. if he wanted perch on that much, he should have replaced jonas or shola. and then why take anita off?

am sure a lot of managers do it just to show how clever they are

Let me refresh your memory then. Second half against WBA in his first season here. We were 3-0 up and we ended up shipping 4 goals in 45 mins which cost us 4 places in the league and probably a few million quid. I can't remember the exact details but I'm pretty sure he made a few spastic changes in that game as well. Just in case anyone's under the illusion it was just bad luck yesterday. Tell you what with a memory like that i'm astounded. We let in 3 goals. It felt like defeat so pardon the odd memory lapse Aye, you're right it did feel like a defeat. really pissed me off, had been all set to stay behind for the lap of honour but it totally changed the mood

at one point in the first half from just inside their half he plays a ball down the channel for cisse but going away from goal, cisse sets off and is in front of his marker, does shola get frward either to the box or to wide to support the man with the ball, no he walks forward, slowly and toward a reading player who had passed him with everyone around me screaming at him to get forward. he's just not physically up to it, hasn't enough football nouse beyond a little cut inside when in the box and i've never known a player get fouled so much for so little off the referees. (the last bit inside his fault but it all counts against the team) aye thats the one - just ridiculous

in a way, the fans booing the substitutions should have been seen by cabaye and marv as support and appreciation for them

should have pushed anita up instead of bringing him off as well

not the booing tweets that bother me - it's the you dont have to pay our wages/no one's forcing you to buy a season ticket one. disgraceful and he should be fined for that one.

anyone know if MA was at the match?

sack him during the window and its going to be harder to sign players - managerless club in a relegation fight.

who had a go at which player? it was obvious the boos were aimed at pardew!

really lazy today. at one point in the first half he made a short pass forward to a team mate 10 yards into our half then just stood and watched ratrher than bomb on forward into the box or move out to the wing to provide another option

Yeah let's blame a player put in a position he's never played in and has no ability to play in at all and not the idiot who put said player in position. watch the match?

pardew was awful today, but cisse really needs to take more of the blame for today's defeat

its a shame there isnt a question and answer session for the manager from the fans after the match, because we really need to know his thinking behind this. also he needs to explain why he keeps picking jonas despite admitting himself that jonas has been poor this season.

absolutely. the start of the second half was baffling.
