Nope, and I'm still not. I won't resort to pathetic digs with playground insults either. No need to be so sensitive precious. Sorry to point it out but being on a 1 at this stage of the season is simply ignoring the reality around you. If I recall correctly one of the main reasons you were sure we would stay up was the influx of players and return of Cabaye & HBA. Those reasons are now looking shaky as fuck, as is our form

to put a 1 in perspective we have 4 away games left, you can literally not bank on a single point from any of those games, though we might sneak something somewhere fulham, mackems, liverpool & arsenal at home are the other 4 games - how many do people realistically think we'll get from them, 6 points? suppose that'd be us safe if so the point of this post however is the hypothetical once again....HBA ain't coming back, doesn't look like we can rely on cabaye at the moment so it's evidently going to be down to sissoko to carry us and he's already looking like he's starting to feel the strain of being pardews only plan, debuchy & haidara now injured to add to colo...we've already seen that pardew can't handle injuries and suspensions, apparently he's just a passive bystander who should bear no responsibility when his first 11 aren't playing lose to man city and fulham and it gets as nervy as fuck going into the derby imo i don't think we'll go down, the wins bought by the new players in jan/feb have probably just seen to that, but as has been said this season has been little short of a disgrace on the pitch tbh...i've said in the past pardew deserves another year for continuities sake but really, does he?

Stu and Inochi never been off 1 aye? Dummies

Holy fucking shit just seen the challenge on him. Diabolical man, what kind of a game is it where that can happen and he might escape all punishment?

Nobody really wants to say it and potentially jinx it, but if we go out of Europe the context of this season changes totally. 8 games to go and not safe, the man is just not good enough. No hyperbole required, I just can't see how anyone is still arguing that he's good enough anymore.

Fuck quoting it but Lotus is right. Pards has clearly improved, or not ruined, some of the defensive players but you'll not find a creative or attacking player he has obviously improved.

Is Victor Anichibe Everton's Shola Ameobi?

Didn't you say earlier that he's not good enough to be a starter?

anyone but the english teams pls, as we'll blow that 100% guaranteed

don't think we've ever played ajax in europe since i've been watching, psv & feyenoord Cheers man, I think it was at home vs PSV, definitely wasn't Feyenoord, I remember listening to that on the radio. 1997? anyone remember playing psv at home when park ji-sung & lee young-pyo played against us? i nearly got hoyed out for kicking off at the people around me making dog barking noises...apparently casual racism wasn't an issue as they weren't black men

that was my first home game

was mayhem outside ayresome that night. 1992'ers marra as someone who went to my first game in the '92-93 season i've never understood the idea that people jumped the bandwagon then...if there was any bandwagon jumping done it was when we challenged for the title and subsequently signed shearer...'92 just fits the dummies 'cause of sky

was mayhem outside ayresome that night. yeah that's one of my overriding memories - leaving the ground was fucking nuts, plus seem to recall they were hoying coins and shit at us all through the game

middlesbrough away in the league cup during the promotion season under keegan....never looked back, also cemented a personal dislike for 'boro from an early age, double bonus

did i read his personal wealth was 175m or something?

agree with venkman etc. - we weren't negative yesterday but we were allowed to play and didn't know how to cut them open even with the calibre of player we have, it's been largely the same pattern under pardew for quite a while now at home imo it's so strange, you can see they're not being taught that when 'player x' is in possession of the ball 'player y' has a specific role to open up play, get beyond, or make room for a pass in the channel or whatever tactical (attacking) nuances you want to look at start of the season when cabaye was awful our tactics were give to HBA or boot it to Ba see if they can make something happen, now cabaye is playing again and we have sissoko it's up to both of them to pull something out of the hat...that's not quality football man, that's bollocks and makes it painfully obvious why teams can come and defend at SJP...fortunately for pardew he'll have HBA back so his chances of someone winning the game with their individual skill will soon increase by one

looked comfortable, which is a great sign for his age and time spent at the club

we're just not developing Stu, showing no signs of efforts towards reaching that goal...the only thing that developed this season was mike getting his wallet out and handing him better players in january or we'd be in deep, deep trouble (but let's not tread that path again) there's still no defined way of playing, we knock it about ok at times but it's directionless when they try it...like he's getting the players to pay lip service to attacking football 'cause that should be what we're doing with the quality of player we have, but he honestly just doesn't know how to do it in my opinion...i don't think a cup win would help this one bit, in fact maybe the opposite because if he can win a cup by being cautious and nicking results then he might keep it going in the league, we had one successful season of doing it in the league last year but i doubt it'll happen again i'm on board for some stability though, really, so not massively in favour of binning him now because if nothing else the players seem to like him and change might upset the applecart -which frankly hasn't been so good for a long time unless there are signs of development from the kick off next season though we need to bin him sooner rather than later, i'm sorry but we do

Said before I believe he should get next season anyway, WHEN he manages to keep us up that is. Waffa cup win would buy him more time in the eyes of many I'd imagine, personally I wouldn't let it sway me that much if we ended up in the same situation in the league next season. Parky is 100% right, he's a negative manager, and that will never change imo.

Tron just said it, at home against Stoke he chose to start Jonas and Tiote and not play Marv or Anita. Credit him all you like but if he didn't make these bullshit fear-based calls in the first place we might not be in holes that we have to dig ourselves out of. Results make people forget, not me. We were seconds away from 31 points with 9 games to play. Looks a lot healthier this morning but bearing in mind the opposition and importance of the game yesterday I found his approach baffling. Took them to score before we remotely livened up, albeit they were shit. But we were at home and needed the points more than them.

lucky cunt get in!
