Frazzle

All Taylor did against Man City as well was to give it short to Tiote.

I agree with some of that madras but the long diagonals didn't work today because the delivery was woeful, IMO, Barton overhit most of them.

Van der Vaart could have been sent off for about four blatant dives if we're going by the letter of the law.

Woodman looked liked he was starting a fight today and looked like a right pikey with his tracksuit.

Dresden you are right, he could've swept it under the carpet but as Dave says it was just a joke to be fair to him. I love Jose but he was in the wrong on this one not Pardew.

Didn't see today's game but he was our best midfielder against City. The Talksport commentator reckoned he was good today as well. I think our fans are just getting a bit blase about him these days and are picking faults instead of appreciating the quality. This. Thought he was one of our top 2 or so players today.

I love him me. Think he's gonna get better and better once he gets more confident in this league and learns the language. The improvement from Smith is mental and some of the things he does/tackles he makes are amazing. During the game today he turned and sent Modric and someone else flying the wrong way. It was LITERALLY BETTER than the original Cruyff turn.

He outs player in the public. A good manager takes stuff like that inside the dressing room. What do you mean outs him? The journalist brought it up, there's not much else Pardew could have said IMO.

Pardew didn't really say anything mental. It's what pretty much any manager would say IMO.

cheaky loan bid? Wouldn't mind a bit of that, looks pretty good on youtube and has this brilliant celebration. Brilliant celebration? I've not seen it, what's it like?

Duncan Bananaman?

WWWWWHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH JOSEEEEEE

I was gonna say, he should still be able to keep his Twitter account as long as he sticks to posting pics of his bird and little Argentinian kids.

I'd rather he carried on the way he is going. It's easy to say 'oh stop getting booked' but its a lot hard to achieve it.

Anything less than four points in the next two and the forum will be in meltdown. Get beat off West Ham or Wigan and everyone will be saying nailed on relegation.

Exactly. Half of his bookings have been bullshit, I dunno what people want him to change.

I countered what he said with something to make a point, maybe you should look to see what was said and when. I didn’t say “We won't get beaten 4-0 because Spurs haven't beaten anyone by two goals.” I asked why a 4-0 scoreline should be considered, it was just a random number plucked out of fresh air. A random number which you dismissed down to Spurs' previous form.

Haha Brenner the mackem sounds gutted.

If you're going to have a 'destroyer' in midfield yellow cards are the price you pay. I bet the likes of de Jong and others get a similar amount of bans. Not to mention Cattermole at the far end of the spectrum.

Majorty of keepers will be very disappointed with letting in Bales goal. From that angle the keeper has to be favourite. The keeper normally is favourite but the shot was pretty much perfect.

Who used it as an excuse?

Jose seems like a proper stresshead. I bet he's panicking after every tweet thinking of the repercussions.

The only thing Pardew is going to reverse is NUFC being in the premiership. Seconded. Aye, after games v Liverpool, Man City and Spurs. 3 of the top 7 last season anyone can make that judgement. Total lunacy. What is, your sentence structure? What the f*** does the second one mean? It's like The Times cryptic crossword man. How ppl can judge a manager is going to take us down after his 1st 3 games are against 3 of the top 7 from last season. May as well judge any manager on single games at that rate. He relegated Charlton and was odds on for getting West Ham relegated. He's a s*** manager with poor tactical knowledge and no idea about man management. He took charge of Charlton when they were rock bottom I think, tbf.

So because we let in 5 against Bolton we would have let 5 in against Spurs? It doesn't work that way, you mentioned 4-0 and have proven that it's irrelevant. Neither does it work the way you said. We won't get beaten 4-0 because Spurs haven't beaten anyone by two goals? Ashley isn't saying we would've gotten beat 5-1, just that you can't rule it out. You seem to think because Spurs haven't beaten anyone by two goals it wouldn't happen to us. Exactly the same point you're arguing against.

Does that mean we have to give Chelsea and Arsenal their points back? Points against Chelsea and Arsenal were above and beyond what most expected. We got beaten by a better team today, what's your point?
