High Five o

He got exactly what he asked for. Fucking joker!

Now every other team know the price, our job is done here.

I am tempted to say Obertan for Jonas tbh.

Its not a formation issue mate. its a football philosophy issue. We have no movement or plan. In 442 Pardew can lump it up and hope the two on top sorts out a goal. Sure as fuck no one from midfield will come up and help them. The 4-2-3-1 issue at Norwich comes when he asked the two wide forwards to follow the wings when we defend. Why does he not ask them to hold a little bit higher on the pitch, so we can for once this season have a chance for a counter attack? How many times this season have we won the ball and gone for a counter, none? Just a striker or two up there, rest is lumping after. So frustrating and negative tactic from Pardew, get some balls! Strange thing is that he did it against Arsenal and Manu, as he thought we had nothing to lose. Against Reading he will think he have everything to lose, and set us up not to concede. By doing this he have lost even before the ball is kicked! Again Shola is not effective in this position either, giving away free kicks, loses the ball, tired after 30 mins etc. At least Ba provided goals The sad part is, that i think all of us knows whats coming. It will be a frustrating 90min, Pardew style.

For me its just a conclusion that Pardew is really hopeless. Who in their right mind see Shola fit to start a PL match? Its absolutely mental.

Agents use us to drum up interest, no way Wont happen this. I am going to be super negative about this to avoid a let down. If by Odins beard we sign him i am going to party like it was 1999.

I certainly hope man, but i would not be surprised if he is daft enough to start him. He have looked way out of dept this season. No tactical awareness.

Pardew is so fucking clueless man This will be a true copy of the Norwich game. No plan, no attacking play, no movement. Defend and hope for some magic. yay, start Shola Pardew absolutely have to get this right, last straw for moi.

Agree, with this. Some fucking lunatics as you mentioned was way off, but they are gone. But again, i have no clue who is Norwegian here based on user name, other than the "well known" guys. And Kaiz, Norwegian football is better than most Norwegian say? gimme a break man. I have watch that shit regularly, its not good. Even had a season ticket for some years, until i just could not take it anymore Some good players come from time to time, but that is it. (Then being sold to a obscure league after a good season.) Good for a country with 4.5 mill people. Shit compared to most other leagues. That is my honest opinion, but does that make me fall into your stereotype?

What the flying fuck is wrong with that dude :lol: Has Ashley meet his maker? Stay tuned.

So the club saved how much on Debuchy in the six months? £1m? How many league places will that cost us over the course of a season? Impossible to predict. But let's say 1. Isn't that at least £3m in reward money? The club have made an enormous mistake in failing to invest. In this case, it simply is penny-pinching and gambling, when in actuality the costs of signing the players would probably have been completely negated by improved league position. No one knows what they asked for him during the summer, but i bet it was a lot. His stakes was as high as ever tbh. So that is a not very good argument if you ask me. Mind i agree that we at times seems to come a bit short in out transfer negotiations. I am not that angry at out transfer policy, but i have a problem with Pardew not getting anything out of what we have.

These days? We've been obsessed with them for years. One of the sticks we used to beat Shepherd with was the state of the fucking finances and how unsustainable it all was. The issue here isn't the finances. It's never the finances. If we're not playing well then our supporters will look for a reason and for some reason it always seems to come down to the money. Nowadays we're not spending enough of it and can't attract quality. A few years ago we were spending too much and had a team full of mercenaries as a result. We win and no one gives a fuck about the cash. We play so shit these days, people are going nuts. Me included. I wish we had a manager with a clear/nice-to-watch football philosophy. I have no clue what Pardew really wants, seems to have no clue. Thats my big issue these days, more than any signings we are not making

:anguish: Fucking hell man :lol:

Can someone explain to me why so many of them are so rubbish? This place has given me a slight hatred of Norway in particular. Apologies to the good ones that we do have, but some of your compatriots are absolute divvies. Rick man, try to go to a manu or Liverpool board. Then you would kill yourself But yeah, living in darkness with -20 outside in a cabin 500 miles from next neighbor makes you a little socially awkward pinguine, naturally.

We missed out on Gervinho, Maiga & De Jong and they've not worked out. I'm keeping faith too. I am keeping the faith too. But the fact is that we have Reading at home this weekend, and we could need a boost before that match. Loss there and, yeah, we have a moral worse than a virgin trapped in a nuclear winter in Murmansk. its bad.

Modric mk2?

Debuchy told RMC about it in a radio interview.

David Crossan ‏@davidmcrossan Want to ask #HBA a question (in French).

Liverpool have had a bid accepted for Vegard Forren

Yeah, had some issues with his hamstring too if i am not mistaken. 1/10

F*cking dickheads Should be some kind of licence to use twitter ffs

Indeed. When things like this happens football comes second imo. Hope its not that bad Colo need the support he can get now if the rapports are true mind.

Well, its something going on that we do not know about, obviously. Why the hell have not Colo or the club gone out and dismissed it if it was bullshit?
