What about people calling Internazionale "Inter Milan" or people calling Sporting Club de Portugal, "Sporting Lisbon"? Don't get me started. People calling Milan "AC". It's like saying "FC". Wtf? "Football Club should be doing this." What? Any particular football club? Would you care to specify? My gears have been grinding for a long time on this one, Sporting Club de Portugal being another fave. And indeed Internazionale. Dammit, I think I need a holiday. In Sweden the pundits often call the Champions League just "Champions" (because Zlatan said that once and they want to live in his rectum). Makes me wanna jump out the window ffs. That's like calling the Premier League just "Premier". Premier what? Premier c***s. FFS Isn't Seville just an English way of saying Sevilla though, similar to us calling Milan "Milan" and not "Milano" or "Italy", "Italia"? Admittedly, I never even knew that, that was their name, I thought it was Sporting Lisbon or Sporting Lisboa or however they normally put it, for the same reason as above. As for Internazionale, it does seem a bit crazy.

Who? As for the rest...

To be fair to the filth that is quite funny. Not so funny now they're bottom and manager-less...cunts.

S*nderland Understandably Need Di Canio's Egotistical Role Left Available Now Desperate

:lol:

Confirmed: Italian Arsehole Out

Team Y do play mint football though, despite them losing to team X after team X's game against team F in Europe. Still think team A will beat teams C and D to the league title though. I know...shite banter.

:lol:

You absolutely can and I absolutely will. You can blame Pardew for using the wrong personnel and tactics, but players failing to track men and ball-watching is down to the individual player. Pardew isn't the greatest but to blame him for that kind of s*** is ludicrous. It would be if we weren't talking about players that were quality before they arrived here, if they weren't players that weren't starting players in decent Champions League and International teams. Who the f*** drills them? Directs them and tells them what to do? You can put blame on individual errors and the odd poor performance? But the entire team not being able to string passes together, a lack of movement and resorting to hoofing when we're behind? On the back of an away win? Come on. The only player that showed anything was Remy and it wouldn't surprise me if his form dipped once Pardew gets into his head. Everyone except Remy and Anita played badly and it's all down to individual performances? That's a bit of a coincidence don't you think? Players can rub off on one another and when heads go down it can effect the whole team. In my opinion we have a leader on the pitch in Colo', who leads by example. Previously we've had verbal leaders who may be having a s**** game but keep the fight and effort there. Colo' doesn't have that attribute, although he has virtually everything else. That's not to say I'm blaming him either by the way, it just highlights how one bad performance can effect a whole team. As I have previously mentioned, Pardew wasn't and isn't faultless. However, when a player is ten yards from his man, ball-watching when he should be slotting in, you cannot blame Pardew for that. FWIW I'm sure you're not saying the players were faultless either. At this point in the season I don't think we are too far from what we all expected. We're maybe 1 or 2 points behind where we should be. Those 1 or 2 points would have us up in the top 6.... it wouldn't surprise me if we get a good result at Everton and all of a sudden everyone cheers up on here again... Coloccini is a very good footballer, but he's no captain. That much should be clear after the way that he went on to leave Newcastle. Cabaye too. If they're leading by example, then they're not setting very good examples. This top 6 and level on points with whoever doesn't work this early on in the season man. We've played one team that I've went into the match expecting a hiding from, and we got it. We've drawn against West Ham without so much as a shot on target, beat Fulham with a narrow 1-0 win, had a good performance against Villa, and then surrendered what should have been a comfortable win against f***ing Hull. It's not good enough and no one will convince me otherwise. Valid point on Colo' and Cabaye - almost adding to my argument in the process. How can our players be motivated by a captain who isn't having a good game and has done that off the pitch? Chelsea won the league on poor performances and 1-0 wins and their fans didn't complain. I would have expected 4 points from those two home games and 3 from Hull, with a draw at Villa and being comfortably beaten at the Etihad. That makes us 1 point behind what I would expect and whilst we cannot rationally discuss league position 5 games in, we can rationally discuss expectations against sides. Last season we performed utter shite for all but about 3 games. The season before we over-achieved yet none of them games are ever used as evidence that Pardew "got it right" or "didn't fuck up", but yet all of last season is used as evidence for him to be sacked? The board got it wrong last summer and did this summer as well, and whilst (as I have previously mentioned) Pardew isn't perfect or faultless you can only blame him for his mistakes. Pardew got the team right for me on Saturday and attacking them is right - we didn't perform well enough and attack them well enough was the problem. If we had have, then they wouldn't have had the opportunity to get out. Instead, we put in a poor attacking performance and made errors at the back. 3 points on Saturday would have seen us "ahead" on where the majority of fans would have expected us to be. You can only beat what's in front of you, and when you get the points performances (unfortunately) don't matter, to a degree.

LMAO.

So basically, the reasons were everything except Pardew? For one, it's not that we scored two. We scored one, they scored one, then we scored another. You can't view our goals in isolation to our own team in the same way that you can't view any performance in isolation. This is not Pardew's first match, but it's one of the many matches that we've come out of at home, against worse/any opposition, losing after going ahead. We could have come away with a draw? It's a Hull City team managed by Steve Bruce ffs. We were in the lead twice. A draw and I would have been just as p*ssed off. We should have been, and were, all over them. Which is exactly what I was saying. It's more down to errors / players in this instance (i.e. this game in isolation - which I know you're trying to avoid).

Some of their goals were purely down to players just not using their heads and doing their jobs properly. You cannot blame Pardew for that.

Hull got their tactics right and whilst attacking them should have been the right tactics we played utter s****. The players have got to take the majority of the blame in performances like the other day for me. That's not to say Pardew was faultless by the way.

Absolutely annihilating people on FIFA with Cabs and Benny

Obviously he did. Unless you are heza. Sorry like, but do you believe everyone at the club from Pardew upwards? EDIT: ...and for the record, even if this was all true I still understand Cabaye for wanting to go. I believe Ashley is a c*** in the highest order, BUT, Cabaye and Pardew are also c***s. Understand my position then? It is not like Cabaye wanna stay but the club force him to move and ban him from playing etc. I understand why he wanna leave, as well as why he wanna stay and play as much as possible now, because he is a c*** who just realize that he is just a reserve for top teams and his world cup dream is in serious doubt and that unless he performs like his first season here he will be o.u.t. Harper's speech is f***ing spot on. There are faults from both parties, not just one. Ultimately though, we had no previous reason to think Cabaye was a cunt. We had every right to believe that the club / management were lying, because they have done so on many an occasion. Which is why I stuck with Cabaye. It's not such a ridiculous thing to do in reality.

:lol:

Nowt I didn't expect there.

Good one Cheers. The start of the season is doing things to me.

After our run of games vs some of the bigger teams I think he'll start notching on a more regular basis. Will get 2 next week vs Hull.

There's a difference between changing your game and trying to add to your game though, and everyone should be trying to add to their game. I think that's what's happened here, Tiote is limited and what they are trying to add to his game he cannot consistently do.
