.... And there it is!

This is gonna get nasty now, they have to go on and win this now though. Proper dodgy sending off like, completely sold it to the ref.

:lol: dodgy that

http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/sport/football/premierleague/article2290867.ece Caulkin tweeted this link, it's behind the pay wall but you can read the first paragraph, which is pertinent to pretty much this entire thread and Pardew in particular. Read it and try and defend this absolute fucktard!
-
Harsh! This is why you should contain and defend at all times!!

Any manager, in any walk of life, worth his salt will nurture the best qualities out of the staff at his disposal, not rely on the self driven ones to make him look good and blame the others for any/all failings. As a manager I wouldn't expect to last two minutes in my job with that attitude and I wouldn't expect my staff to want to work for me. This is no different.
-
Tbf "half" of him does, shame the half is his arsehole that he's clearly talking out of.
-
Good goal by Guzman!
-
We wouldn't want to be in their position, down the bottom half of the table, not for all the cups in the world, think of the balance sheet you crazy bastard!
-
I'll watch it because I'll take great delight if ManC turn up and fucking throttle them but the minute it becomes a nervous affair it's going off!
-
Try some new formations? I'm pretty sure he tried them all in the last match alone?
-
What a waste of talent, one of the worst things to come out of the Pardew era, sure he does himself no favours sometimes and is not completely blameless, but his mismanagement is there for all to see. A good manager would have him on a strict training regime and be working hard on his confidence levels (see also Cisse) not chucking him on the pitch on 80 mins and saying "Give me some magic" then berating him for not winning you the game when you're already 2-0 down and dropping him.

How long would they hold it over us for if they actually won something NETD marra!!!

Tbf just looking for a player is probably quite a bit more active than we have been. Understatement of the year though.

That just sums up his whole mentality. Get to 75 minutes at 0-0 then see what happens. That's the absolute limit of his ambitions. It's so utterly dreadful. We never ever go out to try and put teams to the sword. It's graft, contain, graft, contain, graft and contain. With a bit of Welly-hoof-magic thrown in if we're lucky. I couldn't be more bored watching us plod our way through games. It's so interminably dull. I barely even celebrate our goals, mainly because each one means we have to look forward to a little bit longer of seeing week after week of turgid dross served up in front of us. Flair and guile mean nothing to this man. He'd have a peak-form Ginola shipped straight out. Laurent Robert would likewise last about 2 minutes as well. Indeed all the kinds of players that people would actually want to pay to see play have no place under Pardew. Those players that can excite you, get you on the edge of your seat. There'd be no Scott Sellars, no Asprilla. No Waddle and no Gascoigne. No Marveaux, no Ben Arfa. Just 10 try-hard grafters with perhaps one fairly talented grafter like Remy there to bail the rest out after 75 minutes of boredom. God I hate our team so much. Really desperate to see Pardew sacked before Marveaux and Ben Arfa depart. Absolutely convinced that a half decent, sensible manager would find a way to incorporate both into the team and possibly get us playing decent, meaningful football where we actually look to fashion chances using some guile/vision/technique rather than Pardew's trademark blind hope approach. I mean, even Alan Curbishley, as dire a manager he is, was a marked improvement over Pardew when replacing him at West Ham by virtue of simply deciding to play Tevez, a decision which kept them up in the end. that quote does have a certain "How the fuck did that happen?" Ring to it!

"Front foot football" aye trouble is the team are facing the wrong way dick head.
-
We've played by far the better football away from home imo. That's like saying the guy that raped me last night wasn't as rough as the guy that raped me last week.
-
Just wanted to pop back in to say he's still a pole smoking, bullshitting, tactic-less, surrender monkey, just fuck off! That, is, all!
-
About £2m since most of our signings will probably be end of contract deals. £64m if you include wages and possible wages for extended contracts, etc...

Stop the rot, can't stop the rot...

Get rich quick scheme for any budding entrepreneurs out there, buy some blue dye to sell to all those glory supporters.

"Aye I like his accent"

I wouldn't look down on anyone who went out of loyalty to the team, but the same needs to be vice versa. I don't think people are giving it the "look at me" (mostly) how can a bouycott be effective without being vocal about it? People need to know why it's happening. Fwiw the thick and thin, IMHO, would require some effort from somewhere, clearly the club has lost all identity, the owner has no interest in the club anymore, he hasn't even been to the match since September! The owner cares for nothing but his own ego and the players are just going through the motions, no emotion or pride left. The only thing being supported is a defaced stadium that's had its soul ripped out, an emblem of what we were. Can't blame someone for grasping onto a loveless marriage in blind hope that the love will come back, I also can't blame others for throwing in the towel and getting away from what is a downward spiral of bad feelings, frustration and anger. Yes it is only a game but one that can be very emotionally attaching. It's a double edged sword though; Go and you're a fool for filling Ashley's pockets; Stay and you're a fickle "supporter" who doesn't really support the team. Neither is wrong but neither is exactly right either, just as infuriating and frustrating as the Ashley regime.

They would definitely work well together, but who will/could be a success with the odd setups we utilise? If Pardew had Messi he'd be at left back or warming the bench ffs.
