I'm sure there are better managers than Pardew out there. I'm also sure that Mike Ashley would employ none of them. No thanks.

Oh, right. Stupid cup of nations

Don't be silly. We'll haggle until the end of the window at least.

It's all down to the wingers being terrible imo. There's only so much you can do as a CM when nobody's running into space.

As if Ashley would care

Lineup will probably be: Krul Simpson Williamson Coloccini Santon Obertan Cabaye Tiote Guttierez Ba Not Ben Arfa Hopefully not a heavy defeat. something like that would (rightly or wrongly) start to put a lot of pressure on Pardew, which isn't going to help anything going into January.

I'm struggling to find a reason to disagree with this.

Man oh man, how bad are we going to be when Tiote and Ba are off to Sudan.

Given his track record I think we can agree that the less opportunities Ashley has to make managerial appointments, the better.

To be fair, we don't have alternatives. Which is why he'll start again next week. Everyone knows that apocalypse occurs if you attempt to play Ben Arfa on the wing.

Odd body language from Pardew. He's going to walk, isn't he?

He's shit but I hate that Fergie is infallible shit. He sold Rossi for 6m and Pique for 5m. He thought Jonny Evans was better than Pique ffs. Let's not forget that he's the one who bought Obertan in the first place as well.

Yeah I saw him tell Krul to fuck off you Dutch cunt. Same. Will never get a look from the officials, though. He was bloody, in the end. They'll be too busy analyzing the hours of video evidence Sky are sending them for Colo's elbow.

At least one of them will be banned. The FA will feel like they have to make up for the Suarez ban and Cunt-leash will no doubt call in some favors.

You are the most negative b****** I've ever encountered on here. I wasn't serious, and even if I was, that comment wouldn't even put me in the top 10. Or 20. The entire match, you've spouted nothing but negative stuff man Relative to the measured and rational things everyone else posts in the match thread?

Don't understand why we're suddenly so terrible. Everyone is playing like a piece of shit aside from Ba and Coloccini and they're doing so consistently every match. This team was a bit disjointed but pretty functional earlier this season and all that's changed was losing Steven Taylor. There's either something going on behind the scenes or losing a few games has fucked over morale completely.l

Needs a months' holiday. Good thing we have so many backup wingers.

You are the most negative bastard I've ever encountered on here. I wasn't serious, and even if I was, that comment wouldn't even put me in the top 10. Or 20.

After much soul-searching, I've decided that I'm ready for the relegation-o-meter. Bump it up lads, bump it up.

Obertan and Simpson need to be replaced. Jonas needs a break.

God just won't let Carroll score

Gerrard: "you guys are pretty shit man." Jonas:

Enrique pass for a Carroll goal, would've been perfect
