Pardew can't help but get in the "my fans" line again, he has to sap the joy out of everything.

This is what I'm hoping for too, it only takes one defeat for him to revert to type, but we've been here before when we brought 5 players in to stop us getting relegated. As long as we're not in danger of going down he'll probably be safe as depressing as that is.

Same every season under this business plan. Well, apart from when we don't sign anyone. Then it's not enuff players, injuries, we was tired.

He must be brain damaged if he's friends with all those and still came here?!

I see you bumped it twice, must be enjoying the sensation?

same as in the game, dutch would have to nominate an 'active' player to go in goals This just brought back beautiful memories on Enrique putting those gloves on.

BREAKING NEWS: Alan Pardew rewriting history (not a dig at you SanToon)

Almost as nonsensical as being concerned about how much money a player fetches.

Ludicrous that we're selling Mbiwa on the back of last season, where our only stand out players have been flogged. You can't judge his ability on sporadic, out of position performances. It's no surprise his best period for us was playing in his favoured roll for a stint of games. Defenders, more than any other position, gain confidence, understanding and performances from being in a settled back line. £3.5m will turn out to be a bargain, guaranteed.

Because Leeds

Excellent signing, now we have 3 escape goats! If Pardew continues to play his rancid style of loseball now he has to go.

What a surprise we start with a derisory bid.

Basically the very reason i dont use twitter other than to look. Frightening the way most carry on there when it comes to us. Soopa fans who support the the team but not the regime. Enablers. The ones who work themselves up as they think we should be signing someone like Benteke for £8m and others who genuinely believe we will spend £50m+ are worst But yeah soopafans who cant work out why fans are stopping going are pretty moronic The £50+ million we've got to spend and the give Pardew a chance, he'll get it right when we buy the players this summer make me die a little inside every time I hear/read their drivel. It's amazing how uneducated some are to the Pardew stats and club status. I guess the problem is we have an amalgamation of intelligent dissection of the club from a diverse community of supporters from all over the world. However most supporters only read shoddy written articles from journos who barely watch us play at all.

Nothing over inflated about either fees tbh In comparison to purchase fees I meant sorry, both are worth more than the fees we allowed them to leave for.

It was the stint in the WHam reserves that made him the man he is today, Pardew played a blinder there!

It wouldn't be such a problem if we were casting our net with the transfer money. Everyone understands we're a selling club now and a stepping stone for potential talent, it's just that Fatshit keeps shoving the money down his elasticated waste band instead of reinvesting to keep us ticking along, the fat sweaty mess. The idea should be to cash in, reinvest and slowly turn the team around, there's no need to "do a Leeds" if we just reinvest the inflated transfer fees we get for the likes of Cabaye and Debuchy. Instead the money keeps disappearing up the horizontally challenged ones black hole.

Apparently we offered them a £5 voucher for Gregg's and £20k a week on the proviso he changes his name to Luuk De Wonga

The only way he'll come to us is if we promise him a big money move based on performances, he's a mercenary that wants to play in the Champions League, the only pull we potentially have is money, that we won't spend.

Ashley makes them eat their food with chopsticks because you don't need a knife AND fork when chopsticks are 2 for £1

It's ok lads if you buy a season ticket now you can win a trip to watch the first team train and have dinner with them, I'm buying now! #Desparation

Compared to the Dutch? :-) There's two things I can't stand in this world, people that are intolerant of other peoples nationalities and the Dutch!

Look at those names, man. Cuthbert Ottaway, Arnold Kirke-Smith, John Brockbank. Can almost smell the tweed. Those tactics doe All those forwards and it still finished 0-0 Probably played them all at left back, that's about the era Pardew got his tactics from isn't it?

I still think he's a really good player, but he needs to be alongside an out and out defender like Thiago Siva or Terry. He's had a decent tournament until yesterday, and Brazil were a shambles as a team yesterday, it wasn't just about him. We should have tried to sign him, imagine the coronary that kind of play would induce on 1 player past the half way line Pardew.

Neither of them should be on the wing tbf but then neither should Sissoko or Ameobi (who shouldn't be near a football pitch) or even Cisse for that matter. Under Pardew, no one is safe from the wing.

I think Cabella will be on the wing almost nailed on. I wouldn't bet against De Jong being used there at some point though, you know how Pardew likes his CMs on the wing as he believes it gives him defensive stability.
