People complaining about squad depth and then complaining that we are looking to bring another player in.

No.

Compassionate leave might be the answer for a bit, if only we could be sure that the club would get cover in for it.

Might have to amend the words to the song slightly for tomorrow.

It'sobviously a highly sensitive issue that neither the club or Colo want to comment on further. Nothing to do with Pardew. Nothing to do with Mike Ashley or Dekka. Nothing to do with the players around him or lack of.

Yeah he's working in the media now.

Yeah and some of the players have clearly not been playing to their ability. We've had to play a kid who was a bit part player in a relegated Championship team last season, 4 or 5 of our 'better' players have all been out at the same time for a large number of games. We have a small squad and massively out performed where we should have been last season, we shouldn't be in the bottom 5 this season either but neither should we be in the top 5.

But then that's putting the results all down to Pardew which they aren't. Colo as club captain should be looking at the players around him who haven't been performing and trying to get the best out of them.

Once the players are on the pitch it's up to them to put a performance in, individual errors have cost us as has a massive injury list. I'm not sticking up for Pardew as he is accountable for our preperation but the players need to take a lot of the blame for recent performances.

If Colo wanted to move because of Pardew there would be a line of clubs looking to take him, he wouldnt be going back to a skint club in Argentina.

Would be nice is if two of our local news outlets weren't reporting two different stories.

All three of their departures aren't linked at all.

Pure and simple. First single I ever bought f*** me i'm old, mine was Alphaville, Big in Japan 1984. Good choice.

Barton is a nutter but talks sense most of the time, can't remember Matt Holland being in much bother in his career or being a sulky twat who didn't fancy coming off the bench.

Matt Holland has said before in media he's an excellent man manager and was full of praise for him when he was appointed Can you lot f*** off with this? It's his trademark ffs!!! It's been said on here! What is the point here?An equal number of people have called him a fraud. Pundits and players alike. Who's called him a fraud?

Didn't his agent come out and say it was a load of crap a few days back?

Matt Holland has said before in media he's an excellent man manager and was full of praise for him when he was appointed Can you lot f*** off with this? It's his trademark ffs!!! It's been said on here! Yeah I know sorry. Pardew out! he is a nasty man.

He's 30 which isn't exactly old for a centre back, if he does want to leave and is only being linked with going back to Argentina I can't see that for any other reason than personal problems, he wouldn't be furthering his career going back.

Barton said he's the best man manager he's worked with, obviously he's a nutcase so you can take that opinion with a pinch of salt.

Thought he looked pretty calm in his press conference today, certainly better than in the past few weeks.

When has 'The Ashley way' actually been proved regarding selling and bringing in much cheaper and inferior replacements?

Just the Independent picked up on this?

Let's just all breath a bit, nobody knows what's going on. Wait to hear something more concrete and then go ape shit if that's required.

Must have had some shit food at Hana Hana tonight.

I'd rather it was Jonas Anita Marveaux Cabaye Obertan
