so what if we don't get the points? Then he's not under pressure? The points are important and the performance isn't. read it again Aye was my point too. At least someone has a sense of intelligence on here woop woop. You're both muppets! Read my post again. If we don't get the points, even though they'd be nice, no biggy. If we don't give a sexy performance, no biggy. I'm talking about Pardew being under so-called pressure. This season has been great, so most things at this stage are a bonus really.

Have you got anything to back this up? It was sarcasm? You got me and I'm usually good at detecting sarcasm. Playing beautifully isn't high on our list of prioties right now is what I'm getting at.

Fans not allowed to criticise, analyse or comment on some rather poor and questionable tactics? You're right, we should all stfu Because that's exactly what I said wasn't it? Of course people are allowed to discuss tactics and the like, what an idiotic suggestion. I was aiming my comment at people, well a few of them, who think Pardew is under pressure. He's not and shouldn't ever be after the season we're having. Are of course, that was so clear in the first place, how stupid of me. "but right now we're 6th, so people need to stfu really". The usual throw away line. Sorry I couldn't read your mind on exactly what you meant You've also said once we have a larger squad, we can moan about tactics? You then go on to say the opposite of that So whilst we're 6th and have a small squad we have to shut up and not say anything negative about our performances or AP? As clear as mud. I voted good on the poll BTW, not changed over the season. I'm not a Pardew out man, so don't get too upset dear. I wasn't aiming any negativity at you Nath baby, it was for a few who think Pardew is under pressure. There's nothing wrong with discussing our play and that, my beef is with people having a go at Pardew really. With such a small squad, his hands are kind of tied when it comes to tactics really. He's found a winning formula that may not be sexy football but it's been doing the job for most of the season thus far. Don't see anywhere where I stated the opposite of that fact. Again, I was talking about the "pressure" pardew is apparently under, not about tactics and the like.

so what if we don't get the points? Then he's not under pressure? The points are important and the performance isn't.

Not really sure how it's been pointless really, although I admit telling people to stfu has it's drawbacks. At least thomas has a sense of humour in here.

If there's one game where no one will give a flying fuck how stylishly we play if we get the points it's this one. But thanks for pointing out the obvious. Thanks for your usual pointless reply TRon, keep them coming.

Anyone who thinks Alan will be under pressure after the derby is a tool, don't be so fucking ridiculous. All that counts on sunday are the points. We'll work on playing more beautifully for the fans over time but right now we're 6th, so people need to stfu really. Once we have a larger squad we can moan about not using the right tactics and the like but for now, people need to shut their hole and enjoy it. Alan is doing a stellar job.

I'm very excited for it. It's quite evenly matched for a derby and I like it when so many people, from either side, are shut up in the space of 90 minutes I feel there'll be plenty of goals in this so I'm going with a 3-1 toon win but it'll be a tough game. Bring it on!

Villa, Stoke, Wigan. Realistically I hope it'll be Wigan, Blackburn and Bolton.

me too. Cardiff lost that, Liverpool didn't win it. Shit penalties.

Eh?

worst. photoshops. ever

Yeah, it is.

They should lower the price if they do it yearly, I'd even subscribe to new shirts if they did that

Are we getting a new kit for the start of 2012/13?

I think a loan or 2 will have a big impact on his game, like how Krul improved his after spells in Scotland. I see him being a big player for us in the future and wish him well.

He's a good squad defender that we need to keep but his lack of pace is his biggest weakness and I agree with most people in that we'll see a faster and better defender arrive in the summer hopefully. Such a shame we didn't get a CB in January, ah well nevermind..

just stick arfa on and try to keep it to 4, that's all we can hope for..

Definitely needs to be loaned, he's only going to get better.
