Man Utd sounded quality tonight, can't lie. They're normally really good tbf, unlike City- the most (self) overrated bunch of fans going. Liverpool give them a run, like. Rarely hear anything out of them, even when they beat us 0-6 they weren't singing the house down. West Ham are pretty decent. Spurs can make a bit of noise too. A lot of the top away supports are outside the Prem- Wednesday, Leeds, Derby, Forest are all pretty noisy and take good numbers. Leeds were very loud when they came up here last year.

Never tracked back, never put a tackle in, never showed passion. Just think about all that passion he didn't show!

Aye

He literally is here forever like.

Doubt it. But it will be forgiven because of today. Still, a deserved win. We defended fantastically. Couldn't fault anyone today. edit- apart from Saylor and Ameobi. Both horrendous. Also, how funny is it that literally as soon as Williamson steps onto the pitch Chelsea score

What

'Show some passion'

Just watching that video interview with him again and he is genuinely buzzing. The guy was elated with himself after drawing 1-1 away to Burnley. I yearn for those days again where a result like this would have felt like a complete failure and a step back. Desperate.

For him to dismiss Ayoze as a technically 'proficient' player is ridiculous. Why not take Gouffran off in that case? Playing our best striker this season in the #10 role, or in other words out of position. Truly astonishing. But no one realises, or even wants to.

20 days I don't care if we lose these days, or win, but I'm still dreading watching us lose this.

If we lose and both Liverpool and Everton win we will slip into the bottom half, down to 11th. Burnley would only be 5pts behind us, and in our next 5 league games include Chelsea (H), Arsenal (A), mackems (H), Man Utd (A) and Everton (H).

Took us 57minutes yesterday to get a shot on goal. The best part of playing for a full hour. Against West Ham. Let that sink in.

We lost because we weren't dangerous enough without the ball...

Beginning of the crash now. Burnley will beat us to nil. All so transparent.

As I've said numerous times, he's in the wrong country. Full of idiots running the show here. Is that not the case in every country- their are some awful managers in every league- easy to say it in our own Yes, there are poor managers in every league. But he is appreciated far more on the continent, where teams are more willing to accommodate individual flair and creativity.

As I've said numerous times, he's in the wrong country. Full of idiots running the show here.

We are a threat without the ball? What? Seriously, how does that make any sense? We are a threat in transition upon regaining the ball, or, we are comfortable without the ball, but a threat? As SanToon said, he literally has not a clue what is behind this string of wins and it's blind luck. He has no 'philosophy' ffs, don't abuse that word associating it with that fraud. His possession quote is another glorious nail to hammer in his cross. What an unbelievable fool. A threat without the ball...

Oh my god, BR is so full of shit.

Hopefully Spurs pull it out here and do us. I just couldn't stand us getting to the final under this tosser. It wouldn't do ending our barren history of success justice. It would be horrible, in fact.

Also, says a lot how he can never 'play a team off the pitch' as it were. There's never a room for a Ben Arfa, for a Marveaux, for the Anita's of the world who love to ping the ball, get it down and play and get on the front foot. It's always Colback's, Obertan's etc. The ones who run lots and have high work rates. The guy is at the wrong club. Yes, great result tonight and one of the worst modern-Man City showings ever, but he can go fuck himself still. Watch us lose the derby again and all those stupid little cunts tear up their wonga shirts about it.

Wait till the inevitable 4 month slump happens. Multiple home losses, including the derby, and all of a sudden the super fan bollocks will quieten down but no one will cater for an anti-Pardew opinion. Thought we actually set up and played very well tonight. I'm just devastated I have no response to it. If he's as good as he somehow believes he is, then why don't we do that every week? Or every game we expect to be on the back foot in? We played City away last season, first game, and were abysmal in losing 0-4. We never even looked close to having a gameplan that we did today and he had at least 6 weeks to prepare for it. He comes out with something like this once every 30 games or so. This just so happens to be the one that cements his position at the club for another 5 years... We played well, and credit to all involved for it, but he's still been a major reason for the death in my love for NUFC. No result from him will win that back for me. Fuck him.

It's absolutely rank. So, so overrated.

An all too familiar pattern emerging now. A very poor start followed by a small string of wins and draws- one or two high profile wins like today- just as the axe is being sharpened. Consequently, the uninformed, short-sighted super fans and influential media sources fail to recognise the eternal underlying fault of incompetence and lying in Pardew's ways and team support, yet even worse, sympathise with his position and the 'conditions' he 'has' to work under- the repeated line of 'he does well with what he has to work with', bludgeoning the heads of the educated, suffering fans; both those who have retained ties with the club, and those who have exceeded their threshold of insult, disappointment, and torment and opted out. Half season tickets, general sale's, and merchandise pick up, with the feel good factor of being 12th in the table at the beginning of December starting to wash over the new breed of NUFC customer. In the meantime, dismal performances are rewarded with lucky draws and fortunately narrow losses yet hailed as strives in improvement. The anti-Pardew brigade are now classed as impatient, delusional, and redundant due to the clubs rediscovered success at midtable. How could you want a man to leave your club that gives so much and endures such hardship in the adverse conditions of his workplace. Spilling excuses for the club you don't love enough. Soon, performances-results deteriorate to a standard so poor that even the super fans begin to stir. However, the media remain unaware and unwilling to highlight our pitiful performances. sunderland come to town and humiliate us in our own back yard- even they are stunned at the ease of their ability to have the upper hand over us. We are repeatedly scorned for expecting to achieve 3 points against who are traditionally our desperately inferior north east neighbors. Results continue to worsen and the pressure mounts on a now 'under pressure' manager working in treacherous conditions, with discontent rivaling mass admiration for Pardew in SJP. One of the clubs few remaining prize assets is sold during January. The losing streak continues, but the battle between anti and pro-Pardewists remains, with the media only awakening to our plight following the sale of a star player, before concluding that he must be given a chance and plenty of time to turn it around after no replacements were sought. The squad limp towards the finish line of the season before crumpling to floor having just survived the season in 14th place, but by only 4 points. Pardew is applauded for his attempts at working in conditions that even sweatshops would flinch at, with losses in both derby matches and 0-7 home losses shrugged off. People decide to give him a proper chance for the next season providing his boss invests adequately during the summer.....
