yes, shola Over the last 12 months Shola has really looked the part as a 70-75 min substitute. 90 minutes is too much of a slog, it's pitiful to watch.

Pardew needs some stick for this, notwithstanding the lack of investment he should be getting something out of these players. This is a stroll in the park for Brighton. Come on ffs!

Bring Campbell and Marv on ffs, get Stroller off.

Self fulfilling prophecy: treat the game like a hindrance, put out a shit team, stroll around not giving a fuck, get beat, go home.

I've seen Allardyce's teams play more football, shameful!

This, been same all season, it's like a 5 a side game.

Fucking be incandescent if I'd made the trip down there and there's no considerable increase in the effort levels.

Same shit, different day

Thank fuck for that! Here's me sat here fucked off because I thought we'd been beat 2-1.

Probably the most ragged NUFC performance ive seen in years this. No control, shape or direction.

Prffff formations are for losers True, there is some disagreement as to there efficacy in the footballing fraternity. All the other managers say they matter, Pardew says they don't.

£5 if someone can draw an accurate diagram of our current formation.

Oh Jesus!

True, Pardew is strangling a talented bunch of players (and Shola) to death with his bizarre line ups and nonsensical substitutions.

Going loooooooong again.....plan B.

What the fuck was Tiote doing!

Amoebi went down in instalments.

They are direct, powerful and full of aggressive running. They are not Barcelona, we can match them but square pegs in round holes is making it much harder.

Really? They are a hard working team but they are not top 4 material. We need to match their work rate which we largely did in the first half. Problem is Pardew's stupid lop sided 'formations' more than anything.

Can't see anyone taking a punt on Ba with all the possible agent fees and huge wages. By next summer he will only have a year left and any interested clubs will be even less likely to buy him when they can sit tight for 12 months and use any transfer fee to offset his agent's demands and his astronomical wages. If Ba wants to sit his contract out there is fuck all Pardew can do about it which makes his comments about moving him on even more stupid. The hierarchy can see all this coming so they have wheeled out good old AP to stoke up a bit if interest.

Jesus, the thought of Willamson facing Falcao next season is terrifying!

There's plenty of perspiration, just no inspiration. We are just outclassed, out passed and out thought all over the pitch.

Fuk off Pardew you spineless cunt!
