The main problem was Pardew, if you can't see it now then you never will. I'm sure this is wind up

He can't drill a team to play 4-3-3 either. The spaces between our midfield 3 was incredible. You could get a ferry through.

Has he not changed the second half round? I forgot he only gets the blame for s***. Never credit for the smallest of positives. I'm telling you now, and i'm sure there's others on here who've also played competitive sports. When you feel you've got nothing left to lose it's so much easier to play. The ones who succeed though are the ones who have the bottle to take that attitude into the START of a contest.

Unbelievable isn't it?

Pardew won't learn anything from this though. Nothing. He'll never have the guts to compete properly in a match like this from the off.

Everton are being totally robbed here! Even if it's just goal difference

He hardly ever cuts out a cross. He's like a quarter of the defender Enrique was.

He must injured. It would be utter and complete stupidity to take him off.

What really pisses me off is this 'having a go' when the match is as good as over. Courage is when you have a go when you've something to ffs.

The 2 teams genuinely look 2 divisions apart. We're lack any kind of coherence. It's like we're playing with 2 men less. No one knows what they're doing. Hope we can keep it like this until half time and see if Pardew can sort this out.

To be fair to him, he seemed positive for tonight, or at least not negative. Do we know if Remy and Cabaye are fit?

not to sound like Souness but they are a 'proper' club. Agree.

I think Southall's main criticism is Pardew's penchant for a ever widening and diversifying range of excuses.

You're a cynical chap aren't you? FWIW I think Ashley would be taking this free advertising even if we didn't owe him any money, he probably just sees it as a perk of owning a football club. I think it may be more than a perk. I think the SD exposure is probably the only reason.

I think we had to pay a fee to loan Remy.

Maybe transfers as well? If we buy players then Big Mash has to charge interest on his loan. Is that what people want??

What a pointless little bitch you seem most of the time.

Think Cisse and Cabaye have the same problem tbh.

Rotten. Di Canio's reminded me of him pretty much every day he was Sunderland boss. Me too. In terms of 'it could be worse, Phil Brown could be in charge.' Were you disappointed Di Canio went? Serious question tbw...

too much hassle and why punish a team for a genuine injury ?. if a player is injured the physio can come on, game carries on, player is considered out of the game and must leave the pitch after treatment. If he's genuinley injured he'll need at least 2 minutes to sort himself out, or they can substitute him. Also, i would say the ratio of fake, time wasting injuries to genuine ones is probably more than 10-1.

I'd have a rule whereby if you go down injured and the game is stopped, you have to leave the field for a minimum of 2 minutes. A countdown clock is started as soon as the game is restarted after you've left the field and the ref can only consider waving you back on after the clock has got to zero. Reckon those fake injuries would drop by about 100%.

That's it like. Like fantasising that the removal of Shimon Peres from power is likely to solve the middle east crisis. You have to start somewhere, HF

The criteria you seem to hold as to whom you'd like appointed, the ability to create a good football team doesn't appear to be a priority. You might be able to understand that as this just a forum and so everything wished for here is just fantasy, other posters may find that an anethema.

Not for me like. And nowhere to be seen? You do realise he's been injured, right? Of course i do

Job's a good un! I'll no doubt be horrifically wrong, like
