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.

Sherwood's gonna lose his shit

Lovely goal!!

Every manager does that though. Pardew lover!

Totally lost faith in this now, with Anita pushing forward again though and LDJ supplying the link up play to midfield I think we'll create chances, just not sure who's going to put them away. 4-4-2 with LDJ and Cisse and I think we might struggle. 4-3-3 with LDJ leading the line and Gouf and Sissoko cutting in and one of those two could supply us with a goal. If HBA isn't still "injured" he could do some damage off LDJ. Hard to call until we see a team sheet but revoted loss as we never seem to cope with one or two key players out.

Just a mysterious, non-discript "knock" with no come back date, dubious! Also If he's as bad as some of our supporters and Pardew make out, maybe Pardew should play him in his absence to make himself look better?

So we're missing our best players for the duration of Pardews ban? Well played Pardew, well played...

I don't think it's the main reason he keeps him, but it's not beyond comprehension that it's also a factor, easier to get manager to spin your bullshit for you if you have something over them no? He's doing a sterling job as a bang average manager that's never goin to tear up any trees and dampen expectations to keep supporters in line, that's a main reason to keep him but I believe the debts have some credence too.

Which explains why we're not interested in the cups, heaven forbid we get into Europe Fair point

It's outlandish to suggest it was anything to do with race that he wasn't captain, I'm sure he was to some extent, capable of being a captain but there were others MORE capable of doing so. Why should he be captain over the likes of Shearer? Give me a break, just wants to not be forgotten. Cry me a fucking river.
