Right so it seems this incompetent turd is still here for the run-in. What I'd like him to do is magnify the articles that brand our french troop as having no fight in them, and stick them up on the board in the training ground. I don't like that notion myself, and would like our french players to come out fighting against WH and prove the papers wrong. The papers talk as if no team in France has ever survived relegation, or come back from behind to win. It's an utter fabrication and should be used to fire up our players. I'm convinced Pardew will not be here next season, so we need every fucking trick in the book to make our players get 2-4 points that we will need to stop up.

Sorry like, but what we witnessed yesterday most of this season was no type of football....defensive or otherwise.

Villa v Wigan. Yeah, but say Wigan win every game and get out of trouble. Say Villa lose every game (including the Wigan match), and one of QPR or Reading wins every game and improve goal difference....could they not stop up and send Villa down? I feel really thick as I still don't get it.

aye. stuck out for me that. A very damaging sign. So depressing and humiliating.

Aye, what a hero. Never mind the roughly twent five thousand who stayed in their seats until the end of the 90 minutes. Lad at home updating a forum deserves our respect. It's pretty obvious that it hurt every single fan that watched the match or even just read the score. I'm just saying it must have been pretty shitty having to sit there and moderate a forum thread. Must have rubbed more salt in an already gaping wound.

Feel for the mod who had to keep updating the thread title as the goals flew in. Must have been excruciating to hit backspace>>6. Shout out to whomever it was.

KN, AC in a 2-1 win.

To be fair the whole season has been a mixed bag of marginal incidents such as the above. Could also point to Cisse's wrongly ruled out goal against the mackems, as well as Wigan's last minute handball winner, Ba's handball away at Reading, horrendous officiating away at Everton etc...All decisions which contributed towards or conspired against us getting/losing points. On the whole though I'd say we've been unlucky especially with the injury situation on top of the above.

Diego Swarfega Sr.

Work starts on Monday? fuck off. Better start getting to the bottom of this starting tonight ffs!

Shocking how badly drilled and organized we look. There is no motivation and embarrassingly deficient fitness levels. Two incidents stuck in my head after the game had already been lost: - Cisse was harassing their defenders, chasing after the ball, only to look back and see no one else was helping put pressure. Carragher. JAMIE f***ing CARRAGHER, got 3 or 4 full seconds on the ball with no one anywhere near him. - Towards the end, Haidara made a lung busting dash down the line, taking on 3 or 4 players at once, and NONE of our players were running with him to give him an outlet. Sorry like, but this is a management problem. It's also a training problem. It's a preparation problem, and a motivation problem. Professional football sides are not permitted to be this bad at executing the basics. It's borderline criminal with the wages the players earn. I'm convinced the performance was a coup by the players to overthrow the manager. There is no other explanation for how bad it was. 100% convinced.

Bitterness just oozes out of him at times with us. What's he been saying? I did think at HT he was not all there in his head

He clearly bailed out on the side today. Didn't want to be part of that shower of shite, and I don't blame him. He's a professional though, and you cannot do that. There are bigger things to worry about at the moment though.

Surely the owner/MD/and other senior staff at the club can feel how sacking this manager will galvanize the fans for the last 3 matches? It's way too late for Pardew to have any effect on our performances now. To Ashley: You enjoy a bit of a gamble. Get rid of this cunt now to keep the fans on your side, and take the gamble that Wigan will not catch us.

The players very obviously stopped playing for him. After the 4th goal, there was a marked collective drop in their attitude. Unforgivable because you must play to the final whistle, but I much rather there was unity in the dressing room than for them to come out against Pardew in the press. He will be sacked on Monday. I'm certain of that. No manager survives a loss of the dressing room.

Liverpool didn't even get out of second gear did they? Not taking anything away from their performance at all, but our defending was absolutely shocking. Coutinho MOTM by a country mile. Sensational without having to really put too much effort in. Well done to them, and if their beating us 0-6 at home means Pardew f***s off I vow to never spew hatred towards LFC again. May have done us a huge favor here.

Absolutely. Bar none. Never ever seen anything like it in 22 years. Never. He must simply resign immediately.

I swear if he brings Ameobi on or takes Haidara off and moves Jonas to LB, I will....I don't even know...

Keown 100% spot on.

Huge mistake coming out the way he did for their second goal.

Crowd inside SJP has a massive role to play today. Have to make it known that this fraud isn't wanted. Donkey in a suit with a notepad.

Not if he doesn't clean up his act he won't. I hope he does tbh as he's an immense talent.

I know it's not an exact comparison, but you only have to look at the problems that Balotelli and Adriano caused for their respective big clubs that saw them unwanted and sold, without any of this fuckwittery, and I would say they had as much talent as Suarez does. Balotelli will not last at AC if he continues to act the prick, and Adriano could have been so much more.

Still don't get this "Pardew is a PR guru" stuff. The man is rubbish at interviews. Very uninspiring run of the mill rent-a-quote. Winning or losing.
