Gallowgate Toon

Disgraceful from all involved, yet again. The manager won't take us anywhere, even with investment, we need massive changes in the Summer but nothing's going to happen. About ready to give up on the club till something changes.

Yeah, but surely there's a better way of going about disagreeing than you routinely see in this thread? The general way in which a forum works mean you'll get differing opinions and if you've come here for debate then that's something you should relish rather than resist, it would be rubbish if everyone just agreed. I don't agree with Ian that often but he carries himself in a decent manner and doesn't go on like a total arsehole to people yet he gets some shocking - and unfunny- treatment back. It's unnecessary. You go through the last hundred pages of this thread and there'll be tonnes of posts that are just ridicule or insults. If you've got nothing good to say, don't say anything at all, it's not like it's hard to ignore someone if they're irritating you. The majority of people on here - I assume - are blokes in their 20s and above, you'd like to think people would be a little more mature and wouldn't use the club's situation as some sort of cover to carry on in a daft fashion.

Leave then. aye, actually this tbh - if you can't or won't see what the man is doing or how utterly inept he is at his job you're better off just f***ing getting away man see you, hope you enjoy something else and more importantly understand how it works, whatever it is you choose to watch

Fucking hell.

Has Lampard touched the ball?

I'm sure he also spent a fair whack at Brighton (for a Championship side)?

Improvement going forward in the sense that he could actually take on his man without looking like an utter chump. Was poor at the back, as was everyone. Still worth persevering with, much better athlete and footballer who will learn the defensive ropes in time.

Most of the journos before he arrived commented on how much he improved since being put up front, but ignore that... Ronaldo has already been told this but seems to have a very short memory, I suppose the 500 punches to the head per sparring session will do that. Nah, Ronaldo just knows 73 goals in 299 games isn't quite 1 in 2. He was played as a winger for the vast majority of those games. His record as a striker was close to 1 in 2 at Bordeaux.

Brett's got his bite

The manager coaches the under performing players, he motivates (or doesn't in our case) the players, he selects the players and he tells them how to play the game. Pardew is failing at all of those and that's always going to impact on player performances, it has to. Of course it has an impact, is anyone denying that? But there's a line between motivation and professionalism/character/heart, our players are quick to lose theirs when things aren't going their way. Everyone has been a disgrace today, IMO, they should all be shot with shit. The manager should take majority but those players certainly shouldn't get a bye. The way they seemingly regularly capitulate is pathetic and I agree with Ronaldo that it's not just a management issue, I think this is something that extends from the ethos of the board and their buying policies.

it's maddening to me. If it was the case that the management made no difference then why is Ancelotti good? Mourinho? Pep? Its utter f***ing s*** So why do Arsenal capitulate then? They have a great manager with a fantastic style, doesn't stop them from getting tanked. There needs to be a mixture from the manager and players, we've not got that at all. Lack of professionalism from players led by a cowardly manager. Because Wenger, as good as he is, has repeatedly shown he can't get his team to perform against top opposition And yet his teams of old were much more successful against top opposition when they had more leaders in their ranks. The manager deserves shooting for today but the point that we lack character is valid. Some of the wandering about you get from our lot is absolutely disgraceful, I'd be embarrassed to have such an attitude if I was playing in a match.

Why won't you just play some football, man, you twat? The season's over, try and build for next year. Arsehole.

I'm out. Absolutely shameful from everyone.

This biased commentary is doing nowt for my mood.

As if Gouffran stayed on, man. Fucking joke. Don't mind de Jong coming in but HBA shouldn't be off.

Fucking joke.

Oh fuck off, man, you utter cunt.

Sums up how fucking pathetic we've been on just about every front. Shit from absolutely everyone involved.

Fuck off with the hoofing, man.

The midfield are 30 yards away from Cisse and nowhere to be seen in defence, what are they doing?

The fact that they're to every second ball shows where our heads are at. Pathetic motivation and professionalism on show.

Why are we booting it again? Fuck off, man.

It's more than that here. Players are much better than this, they're half asleep.

This is fucking terrible. We've not even put 3 passes together, man.
