Solid first post.

I'll just let that one hang there for a second... 6 out of 18. That's 38 across an entire season. We've played against some absolute shite as well.

"Are you Pardew in disguise?"

"Alan Pardew, you're a load of shit"?

Not actually going now, don't feel very well.

Not a chance for me, beating Pardew would mean a lot and losing to him would be fucking awful even if I am resigned to it. The greater good can wait a few days.

Ideal scenario: - Cabella scores a hatrick - Anita gets a hatrick of assists - Shola misses a penalty - Pardew nuts Colback - Ben Arfa turns up with a SackPardew sign - Pardew gets dropkicked in the face Any more? Any one of the above would do me to be honest, surely not too much to ask.

I only got 11, got the first 7 and last 2 right but clearly had a mare in between.

It's a shame the talk of a European Super League died down, was mad keen on that the last time it was being discussed.

Ah fucking hell, got this tomorrow. I'll be interested to hear if Pardew gets any grief like, will storm out if people ask him for a wave.

Finally.

Was thinking more Albert Luque, but both comparisons may apply.

In the last four season he has averaged half the games and bearing in mind that Ajax have played in Europe every year and also progress quite far in their domestic games - thanks for the stats to back my me up though You're wrong, that is far from an atrocious appearance record. 35, 52, 39, 47, 28 appearances in the last 5 seasons, what the hell are you looking at? No 2, 28, 47 and 39 in the last four season - read what I said! You might need to make your point more clearly tbh, firstly why are you including this season when your criticism was based on us signing him? Secondly, half the games - what you on about? Fair point about clarity but you have to just look at his record over the last few years when you consider Ajax play in the Champions League (and then usually the Europa Cup in the same season) and their domestic competitions, he has only had one season above 40 games in the last 4. It was mentioned when we signed him his injury record was poor and if you count the number of games available these last four years it is well below half and even less last a quarter these last two season. You obviously disagree but we shall see next season how many actual games he plays. Fair enough - I just don't think the warning signs were there, last season aside. I do think there's a high chance he'll be a perma-crock now but wouldn't lay the blame on the club this time tbh, not based on that appearance record alone anyway. Everyone knows we like to under-pay for damaged goods, so perhaps we knew it was a risk somehow.

One would have thought the alarm bells would have been some kind of a signal Always said 2 De Jongs didn't make a right tbf.

When does the bubble burst then? Surely we'll reach a point where the broadcasters are paying so much money it's no longer profitable.

Fucking hell, that's a massive increase.

How does this compare to the current deal?

I want that now TBH. I don't think it would affect attendances that much, but obviously it would further reduce the importance of match-going fans in terms of finance. It's more the potential effect it would have on lower league attendances IIRC, especially Saturday 3pm kick offs.

90 minutes of shite. :lol:

Carver with some thinly veiled psychology clearly aimed at making me run on the pitch tomorrow.

Jesus wept! Horrendous that! His legacy. Fuck me, man. Set neesy on him.
