Captained Bolasie to try and move away from the rabble around me, and it worked

Not really. I see absolutely no discernible difference between the two of them whatsoever.

I will not judge him on that idiotic lunge. Could have happened to anyone. He has been utter crap though, even when not making rash tackles. In the grand scheme of things however, I applaud him for making Carver's job even more difficult. We simply cannot start next season with him in charge (whatever division we might be in).

I wouldn't say that Janmaat has been that good tbh. He's had his moments going forward, but has looked a bit vulnerable defensively, and I wouldn't say he's top four material. True. He's still about 6.3 billion times better than Glen f***ing Johnson though.

This.

He was.

Just seen the slow motion clip. Fucking hell, Evans the dirty prick knew exactly what he was doing. He spat directly and with full intent at Cisse. There's absolutely not doubt about that.

Man :'( RIP

Sissoko was at CB for half the time ffs. It really is so fucking obvious that we don't actually do any movement/training with the ball, and we simply focus on fitness and countering the opposition. It's shocking for a standard as high as the top tier of English football.

I really don't think they do much training, at least based on the evidence we see. They probably run around a bit, do some gym work, and spend the entire week "preparing for the oppisition" - how to nullify, danger men, shape etc. Fucking shambles of a sporting club.

This is the absolute worst idea ever. Can't wait for things to completely go wrong either with shitstain FIFA or that shitstain country.

Nah. Still hate him with every fibre of my being. He's an utter cunt who doesn't deserve the luxurious life he steals. I wish his football career the very worst.

Miss you so much Sir Bobby. Happy Birthday.

Doing his best Cabella impression there

I know we're a cheap tatty club these days, but that's not even a footballing backwater dumpster I'd like to even think about.

No offence at all to brummie, but i've just seen this, and :lol: :lol: I can understand that there isn't a dearth of managers out there to choose from, and it is definitely better than appointing the likes of Redknapp/Venables/Curbishly....but fucking hell... Who knows though. He might turn out to be a genius just waiting for his chance.

And what could they have done about it even had they listened? Poor sods. Fuck them though as they seem a right cuntish bunch.

Hate Liverpool and Gerrard. Hate Pardew more. Glad about tonight's result. Hope Liverpool get knocked out next round. But if you told me before the game that Gerrard is guaranteed to win the cup on his birthday in his last ever game for the mighty reds by knocking out al pards and palace, I would have taken it.

I look at a player like Ayoze and think that intelligence doesn't necessarily come with age or experience. His vision of the pitch and natural understanding for the game is something Lukaku lacks completely. Lukaku needs to be "developed" into the world class striker he can clearly become. The lad has immense talent and physical presence. Maybe his manager forgets that he's still so young and relies too much on him as a senior player.

No. The fact that Redknapp has no management skills to speak of, makes you not very bright.

Exactly this. The fuckface won the lottery standing at 6 foot plus. How the fuck he can be considered "an athlete" is beyond me. He is so fucking shit at EVERYTHING it isn't even funny. That turn and shot that resulted from our corner....the one he skied high and wide, on his left foot, from outside the box...?? I mean.....the number of awful decisions to get to that specific moment...by himself AND the team, is staggering.

Best thing about this game was the "Are you pardew in disguise" chants from the away end.

OMFG WE DESERVED THE POINT! HE SAID WE DESERVED THE POINT Praise the lawd.gif

Impersonating an impostor. Doesn't get lower than that.

What is a midfield of Sissoko, Colback, Ayoze and Gouffran going to do? Fuck all. Abeid is MADE to play dead central midfield and he's on the bench because we can't be upsetting our ex-mackem hero.
