We do, it's just Pardew chooses not to set us up that way.

Some do themselves a favour (Zlatan), some don't and end up at clubs well below the level they should be at. But football is about entertainment, especially when you support a mid table team with no chance of winning the league, and I would rather watch HBA play 1 good game in 5 than watch Gouffran or somebody like that who will work hard and score the ood goal. And the reason why is that I know that if I see Ben Arfa play on a good day or even if he does one outstanding thing in a game, that I'll remember that performance or thing and still be talking about it in 5 years time, while if Gouffran scores a goal tomorrow, I will have forgotten about it in a few weeks. he's one of those players that gets you off your seat, makes you shout yourself horse with some amazing skill, those things don't happen enough for us, there's only Remy these days and Cisse in that first half season he played that really got me going in a match. Hate these grinding down games with a passion, I don't want to watch an Allardyce Bolton, a Pulis relegation battling team or the like, I want to see a swashbuckling Keegan team or a Sir Bobby attacking with flair team, even Hughton's Championship winning side was more enjoyable to watch than this turgid shite we are dished every week. Just sick of his shit and the problems with Ben Arfa just personify everything that is wrong with the current setup.

Probably my favourite player, yeah he strikes me as a bit precious, however a good manager would understand this and treat the player with the confidence he needs. Bashing him in the papers every time you need to take the heat off yourself is doing no one any favours. Wasting a talent that could easily make his job a lot easier and devaluing him as an asset to the club. Clueless bastard, but I've come to expect nothing less from Alan Fuckwitt Pardew.

Not sure we'll ever see him in a strikers roll.

http://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/johnson-on-not-being-picked-for-england.893896/ Why isn't Johnson being picked for England? One of them goes on to say he should be replacing Ox!?! Oh and Shearer put the spanner in the works to stop Phillips from getting caps

:lol: :lol:

Spuds got their tails up here! Benfica need to keep the ball and take the wind out of their sails.

Can't blame anyone unmotivated for watching a no meaning match, it's no secret we have no aspirations for Europe and we've barely had much to shout about this season, to coin an Americanism we've stuck it in "drive" and are coasting to the end of the season. I'll back the team cuz I always do, but I'm not excited for it, Palace have so much more to play for so will supply more effort and drive. We have very little creativity unless HBA gets a rare start, just think it'll be a ground out keep it tight kind of match. Hope they prove me wrong, just pisses me off we don't really go at these teams.

It's been said a million times but if we fuck up our summer transfers I can bet Shola is our plan B

I've just reached all new levels of disdain for the lot of them, the sooner the fuck off the better instead of rotting our once proud club!

A lot of head scratching, then when the Neanderthal confusion sets in resort to "watch your letterbox marra!". My eyes hurt!

I hope we stop them winning the title and that horrible buck-toothed racist fucks off to Spain or something.

fixed. Are you suggesting Slim is an attention whore? Well I never!

If Ben Arfa is fit he needs to walk straight into the side, not a chance in hell fuck face will play him like.

Slim obviously off his fucking tree right now. Clearly had no wish to win this match today, complete fuck nugget needs to piss off and take his shite back room staff with him, the owner and half the dross we have in the squad.

No Remy = no goals, keep it right for 70 minutes then let one in when trying to nick a goal. 1-0 to CP.

Knew we would fkin lose if we went 4-4-2 we haven't the wingers for it, but it's Pardews go to when we don't have Remy. Sissoko on the left!?! Don't make me laugh, why would you even consider that? I said before the game to get any chance of a goal we should have played Goof on the left, Sissoko on the right and LDJ up top. It's like we were playing for the bore draw. Didn't want the game (thank heavens for small mercies) but we sounded dross for the 90 Pardew fucked us on this one, but you know he'll blame everyone else and paint himself as the missing fucking messiah!

Someone trying to prove how much they're missed and we need them?!

Reads like a riveting early 10 or so minutes on here. Did the players even turn up?

I think we should definitely be pushing for 6th but to repeat what's been said I'd rather see fresh youth coming on for say Goof than Shola and Cisse asked to run the flank There's no reason why blooding the youth and experimenting should be detrimental to our league position given the right circumstances with some of the dross available in our squad. At the very least it still wouldn't be worse than some options we've seen this season.

Good free kick!

Not enough

Ut oh! Game over for farmer Sherwood.

Can't believe this team humped us!

Thought Sherwood was doing ok when he first took over. Out of his depth? He resembles a paraplegic in the deep end of a wave pool.
