Apparently been training with U18s according to Lee Ryder
Surely not, Pardew doesn't freeze anyone out

Keegan does not settle for mediocrity whilst Pardew is the epitome of mediocrity

Why does anyone think Shola is going to get another contract? Don't forget Mike Ashley has to pay the wages and he will see that Shola doesn't play and when he has played he hasn't been good. Shola hasn't scored for over a season. Graham Carr will probably also have a say and I can't imagine he rates Shola. Pardew doesn't get to make the final transfer decisions so I don't see why he'd be allowed to keep Shola (not that he even wants to seeing as he isn't playing him). Also, I'm sure Pardew would also want a better striker to play than Shola. Even Pardew isn't playing Shola now.
This is the best time as any so far for him to be moved on, but with De Jong not yet permanent, Remy highly likely to leave and Cisse being so s*** he should leave, I can't see Ashley really sanctioning the signing of 3 or 4 first team strikers. Can see the "1 more year for Shola" being the cheap option which they will take. Really hope not like, I don't want Shola here anymore.
That is why on paper Gomis would seem to be a good fit, especially from Mike Ashley's "value for money" approach. Gomis would be a "free" transfer (excluding signing on fee and agent fees). Gomis will no doubt want more wages than Shola but Gomis is around 3 years younger and has scored more goals this season than Shola has for years.
Carlton Cole would have been better than Shola. No matter how low Ashley aims his sights it wouldn't be difficult to replace Shola with a better player.

Well he got the current contract extension despite being useless so people's fears are justified
Shola is even more useless now than he was 3 years ago. 3 years ago he scored the occasional goal.
Makes no odd since the manager picks him for games and praises him
Giving Shola a contract extension is the cheap and easy thing to do which is why everyone is worried it will happen
The alternative is we sign both Remy and De Jong on permanent and still sign another striker, you really think we will sign 3 strikers?

What's this blaming science about?
“We don’t seem to be able to get through this tie (third round day)“For the last three years I don’t know, it’s science against me.
ffs, I didn't think I could hate the prick even more, I was wrong

Sadly it was always going to end this way, Pardew has managed him very, very badly. Pardew is a hypocritical prick, other players can play shit yet nothing is made of it, in fact he will praise them BUT Ben Arfa gets stick for not winning games in 10-15 minutes
Under a half decent manager Ben Arfa will be immense, just a shame it won't happen here
-
Krul
Debuchy Williamson MYM Haiidara.
Anita Tiote
Sissoko
Ben Arfa Gouffran
Remy
Obviously if Colo is back he'll play. Santon needs a break, his confidence is shot to pieces. Toss up for left back but just not a huge fan of Dummett.
De Jong on and two up front if we're struggling.
That except Marv for Sissoko is what I would go for
BUT we know it will be a shit lineup with shit subs
-
Life and limb, passion, pride, 110% etc etc is just a load of inane drivel managers come out with to try and curry favour with the fans and also to mask their own limitations
Limitations are something Pardew has in abundance, his man management is awful and his tactical awareness is shit hence the reason the players look lost and play without any plan or purpose. We apparently spend most of the time working on the defensive side of the game, clearly he is shit at that too
I would love to see a half decent manager with the players we have, think we could pay some good stuff and actually look a decent team
-
Workmate of mine said Pardew had apologised and was asking me what I made of it. Can't find any trace of a public apology by Pardew - anyone else help?
Pardew is a cowardly prick, he won't apologise. Instead he will blame everyone BUT his own tactical limitations

Powerful CM. He's not a defensive mid - he can't tackle very well at all. His best bet is to body and muscle someone off the ball by getting into the 1 v 1 duel and standing his opponent up. Any time he tries to go for a clean tackle he's usually beaten or, worse, putting in a U-14 slide tackle.
So any midfielders that don't go to ground and just body people off the ball. Dembele for instance is great at it.
I wonder if anyone has given him any pointers to try and do that more often, and put himself in position to do so.
I wonder if anyone has told him anything remotely useful since he came in.
When he looked his best earlier in the season, he was getting himself in front of the man and bodying' the man off the ball. It should be simple for any coach to see. A guy with that much strength and pace, should never be going to ground - he should be winning these battles by using his ridiculous upper body strength (who did he shoulder earlier this season? That bounced right off him?) and getting possession of the ball and BREAKING forward at pace.
He's a box to box CM next to a physical holding midfielder every day of the week. He played great for Toulousse b/c he had Capoue doing all the dirty work for him. He should do very well with Tiote doing a similar role for him.
It was Ridgewell he destroyed with his shoulder barge
Technically he is average BUT he is being used very badly by the manager, as are numerous players
-
No need to give the guy abuse, might be crap BUT the fault lies with Pardew who is picking him ahead of MYM
-
Want him sacked BUT his job is safe, he has the safest job in football
Under any other owner/chairman he would have gone last season
The prick is breaking records left, right and centre
-
Ben Arfa will leave, play mint under a manager that isn't a tard and the tools that lay the blame at him rather than the idiotic manager will be made to look foolish
-
I hate this prick
-
Fortunately he is up and about, seems okay BUT landed badly
-
Anyone watching the Real match, looks like a nasty injury for a Atletico player, landed on his head
-
Messi with a lovely finish
-
Absolutely pathetic officiating there. No excuse whatsoever to get that decision wrong.
Aye, not even close, not like he was onside at any point
-
Barca equalise, Alexis, though it was offside
-
Sevilla leading against Barca
-
Man-U will win 3-2
