Shaun doesn't have a working brain,be easy with him Ian I'm telling it how it is. No you're not and you never have done since you came on here. You just post daft statements and contrary nonsense for the sake of looking for bites, all of the time.

Cheers, makes more sense then.

Worst thing about it is that it appears to be a British guy coaching a bunch of young Chinese kids. Way to go England. (might be Hong Kong actually?)

and location reports of his mam. That's a deplorable thing to say. touchy

Aye. Iniesta's equaliser a couple of years ago was all the more hilarious though.

What a horrible club.

Yee've obviously never been to Kimberley Park to watch Prudhoe Town get in

YAAA BEAAUTTYYYY

Fuck's sake. Napoli completely bottling this. Can't believe that cunt scored.

No Manure won that one 3-2, then lost 3-0 in San Siro.

Annoying.

Strong Chelsea side like, pretty much full strength.

Getting a bit nawty apparently. Shame.

Apparently loads of Napoli fans have tickets in the home end so they have bought half the club shop to try and disguise. The shiny puffa jackets a bit of a giveaway however

Aye, I'm listening to it now as well.

Norwich City. At home. Full array of attacking options available. Absolutely no excuse for yet another wasted opportunity pissing about being defensive and overly concerned about the opposition. Play our best players and encourage them to attack and we'll win this game.

Even if we'd escaped with the point firmly in our swag bag the tactics were not spot on, they were aimless and cowardly. At no point did we try to make a genuine match of it and a number of our players were taking liberties with regards to time wasting as early as the first fucking half. A completely inexplicable attitude when we're playing a side that according to the manager we were chasing a result against. There's nowt wrong with being conservative, keeping it tight and playing to a gameplan but we were clueless for the entirety of the second half. Lumping long balls forward and it coming straight back at us time and time again, only for them to miss chances and waste great positions time and time again is not a good gameplan. Pardew's spiel all week was how we wanted to have a go and win the game, because he felt we had an outside chance of the Champions League. Another case of him talking the good talk but doing something completely different in terms of his actions.

I don't understand what the point of coming on the forum is if all you're going to do is "we're 6th, stop moaning" or that "player A is simply playing crap, no other explanation". The whole point of the football section is for discussion, analysis, criticisms, praise... and people making criticisms based on what they're watching with their own eyes are always going to be relevant. Actually I can sort of understand why people do bury their heads in the sand considering where we are relative to the last 5 years, but it's still daft. I've argued quite passionately in favour of the job Pardew is doing for large spells of the season, even while having criticisms for certain things that he's done. At the moment though, I'm beginning to get completely exasperated with him doing the same things and making the same mistakes. It's worrying and depressing at the same time, even if we do hold the fort and stumble into the Europa League this season I'm struggling to feel positive of what impact we can make in that competition while we're playing this football and I'm struggling to get excited about what new players we'll have when he's misusing all our best ones anyway.

I wouldn't beat yourself up about that assumption. At the half way point of last season we'd never seen Taylor have a spell where he looked consistently up to top flight level whereas Williamson was looking generally solid if not outstanding in the Prem. Taylor's clearly got better natural attributes, but up until that point both had proven to be of a similar standard for us. I still think the start of this season was the best football Taylor has played in his career by a distance. Taylor had been showing 4 years previously that he was capable of playing well in the Premier League, he was just one of the players who people decided was shit following relegation. Not really, he took plenty of criticism before relegation too. I don't think he'd ever played at a level above the lower echelons of the league, whereas at the start of the season he was playing like a top 6 defender.

Even the best players in the world can be made to look shit playing under managers who don't know what do with them or play them in tactics/positions that completely misuse them.

It's not as if he has a history of this exact thing either... oh wait.

The people with real and obvious bias are people like you with their heads stuck in the sand. You ignore legitimate criticisms and just pipe in with s**** waffle and no substance. Exactly. Hilarious crock of shit that post. I was a staunch supporter of Pardew and I'm not at the point where I want him sacked, but fuck me, some people need to start opening their eyes.

Aye pure class. Open goal.
