Any guesses for the inevitable Chronicle headline? I'll go with '"Korman get us, West Brom!" says Chef Steven'

My Dad had a similarly aggressive type of cancer and he looked awful for a while. Fast forward to now and he looks more his old self. Hair even grew back straight. Maybe Petrov will grow a ginger barnet, would suit his Scottish roots Glad he's doing well and he'll start to look better in time, I'm sure.

Retard think before you speak lol who signed these players? Really any need at all? no need to sit on the pedelstal at all pedelstal pls

Looks quite handsome does wor Taylor. Steven's not bad either.

Tiote's shot against Sunderland was so bad I think it went backwards.

I have no clue how this could happen. Could it be more misdiagnosis? I don't mean to sound petty, by the way, but it's a huge concern that this is happening.

Euphemism?

Jesus, terrible news. More injuries ffs.

if it's a team trip I'll be a bit miffed. I'm all for morale but I'd rather they did something to make them understand the magnitude of the result rather than going on the magic teacups.

Because it's boring and unattractive perhaps? don't even think it has to be, pardew's wasn't that exciting 'cause of the rigid shape he employed...you could still play direct football up to a big man like carroll and have the fullbacks and midfielders flooding forward to support him sure it'd be a canny watch myself if they were drilled to do it We have players who would work in either system, direct with Carroll or short, which would be great as we could adapt for different matches/scenarios. Unfortunately, as it stands, Pardew is incapable of adapting the team and it's fully down to him. At Reading (f***ing Reading) we brought on 2 defensive mids and rocked the formation 3-4 times in attempt to close it up at 1-0. It was an utterly appalling, mind-boggling attempt to 'adapt the formation'. Then, when we go 2-1 down, he brings off Anita for Obertan and tries to attack again but after bringing off Cabaye and Marveaux we had no-one left to create. IIRC we ended with Perch Bigi Jonas Cisse Shola Obertan It will always be one of the strangest managerial performances I've witnessed. Anyway, I have no faith in Pardew having different implementations of the formation if Carroll came. It would be balls to Carroll with everyone else shoehorned around him. The fact our comeback record is so bad is evidence enough that he has one plan and one plan only.

An AC-AC partnership would be hilarious for a few reasons. 1. The old little and large thing, but ridiculous. 2. We could call them AC^2. 3. Er... 4. That's it.

Someone needs to make a documentary about you, jot.

From our internet overlord. Most of my posts seem to go by without anyone even noticing. I might post this in Jotenko's Good things to happen today thread. Never, ever enter that thread it's the psychological landfill of an insane Portuguese man. Edit: No wait, that's the ITALIAN FARM WORKERS thread. Please commence

Don't get me wrong, I'd definitely take him over Pardew. A couple of things put me off though, the football, and the fact that I don't think it would be a long term appointment as he'd be looking for the next pay day with a CL regular. If we really want stability we need a good, positive young manager who can grow with the club imo. Agree

You're gonna struggle with a Benitez vs. Pardew debate tbh. Whatever you think of him - he's tactically very, very sound and would do us a world of good. Not my personal choice but I'd be happy.

If Pardew's getting another season I'd do it for £7m. Would save us getting relegated next season at least.

WALES IS GAY

BENEFIT CLAIMANTS WILL PUNCH YOUR HORSES HORSE PUNCHING CAN LEAD TO CANCER

No has been changed to yes

It's a depressing thought.

Yes, probably

I'd be OK with that... delighted, in fact. I think the Chelsea fans hatred of him has made me like him again.

god damnit Giroud

Only had the one chance this half though I meant as a player, I've only just tuned in here.
