Interpolic

Pardew wouldn't let Ben Arfa near the team at various points when there was absolutely nothing wrong with his physical fitness over the course of a number of years. Aye, fitness is definitely why he forced him out of the club. No question.

Nice avatar m8, really fits your argument. Plank. Nice reply to my argument. Since when have I defended Pardew? This is about Ben Arfa. Good try at a deflection though. Pardew's a born liar, he shunned him because he didn't like him and he wasn't his type of player, same with MYM, Marveaux, Mascherano, Tevez, etc. You have an avatar with Pardew as Pinocchio and you're saying he was telling the truth and can be trusted. Stop being a moron.

Fuck off?

After Chelsea, Man City, Man Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs and Everton we've probably got the most talented squad in the league, have we not? 3 of those are underachieving and below us, don't see how we're overachieving by any definition tbh. Recent form in terms of results has obviously been good.

Not really when he was on about bigger clubs not being in for Suarez. Liverpool are of course a historically bigger club than Chelsea (who I can't stand) but Chelsea have been a bigger draw to players for years and not just for the wages.

They're a much bigger club these days in the context Astroblack was talking, i.e. ability to sign top players.

I'm shocked.

Just took a 4 point hit and decided to leave Fabregas and Courtois on the bench. Got £6.1m in the bank.

This is what I mean tbh, I tend to mentally switch off during the analysis unless I'm keen to see certain incidents again.

Match Of The Day's a canny bloody good programme on the whole, but the analysis does vary wildly depending on the pundit. I'm not even that fussed about the analysis as I don't always pay that much attention to it, it's a slick and well made programme and also Gary Lineker is absolutely superb. Shame they couldn't just have it presented by 2 Gary Linekers.

Oh shock, Interpolic taking me to task for absolutely nothing. Happy Friday to you too mate. Come off it man, I'm saying if those 4 performances get you Manager Of The Month these days there's something the matter. 4 goals FFS.

Piss off man, Ian.

We won 3 out of 4 games in November, against Liverpool, West Brom and QPR. Lost against West Ham in a dreadful game. We scored 4 goals that month.

I seriously hope they re-think this.

Wishing him well, it's almost as if there's nothing he can possibly say to him that will directly influence his performance. Oh, hang on.

Thought windmilling referred to waving your arms about rather than your cock.

Rename it the natural athletes thread.

Fair do's.

Fucking hell, man.
