Just watching the 5-1 Halloween Massacre on Premier League Years Will never see anything like that under this prick

Entertaining football? Aye, right The moment he tries something a little different, if it fails he drops his arse and goes back to the turgid, negative football he knows best (though he fails at that cos we still get our arses handed to us)

In stark contrast to Pardew, will defend and big up the players that lick his hoop BUT those that go against his turgid, direct football get blasted in public and blamed for his own failures, which makes him the lowest of the low

I think it's because people want to see Ben Arfa in the team BUT that goes against the cowardice philosophy Pardew has I have no issues seeing Ben Arfa get tackled 5 times because you know on the 6th attempt he will score a Bolton like goal or destroy some left back The alternative is watching the likes of Gouffran, who don't lose the ball BUT that's because they run towards the opposition players, stop and then pass it back or sideways. That is not football for me, that's turgid and is not what we remember growing up, I won't remember the safe play of Gouffran BUT I certainly will never forget Ben Arfa taking players on and scoring goals f*** Pardew and f*** negative football

Not bad

Lovely goal from Ramsey

Ouch, Huddersfield getting hammered 4-0 at home

Huddersfield losing 2-0 at home, which is a surprise considering they have good players

Thread title has nowt to do with his playing style (or lack of)

Colback is better?

He is going to start every game, which is going to be mega fun

Also there is no way Elliot came back on the correct weight or under BUT he licks the King's ringpiece so can get away with it

Good signing, thought he looked decent enough at the world cup

Was that pun intended?

We badly need a top striker, the current options are not good enough, doubt any of them will hit double figures

There seems to be a few players who fall into that category eg Abeid, Bigi, MYM, where the belief seems to be that they'd become better players under a better manager. As I say, that seems to be based on hope rather than any evidence on the field. I'd gladly see Taylor replaced as well. However, I think after the Everton debacle, Pardew's faith in MYM was severely shaken, because the player wasn't just bad, he was completely hopeless. You can bank on Taylor producing some kind of performance, even if his style of defending isn't very imposing on the opposition. Colo was hopeless in the Everton game too (a few other matches as well) yet Pardew's faith in him hasn't shaken Typical shite management from Pardew, once he decides your crap, there is no way back even though there is clearly talent/ability there

Sissoko will play right wing, with Colback and Tiote in the middle, whilst Anita will unfortunately be sat on the bench

Soz, couldn't help it

Aye BUT we all know it will be ------------Riviere/Cisse---------- --------------De Jong-------------- Gouffran--Wor Jack--Tiote--Sissoko

I would much rather watch a fat (not really fat though) Ben Arfa play football than the headless chickens we have instead on the pitch, though they have a tackle in them hence they get picked

Terrible news, feel for their families

Useless

Palacio, really? He won't do owt

Should have scored

Trust him to score the offside one
