How have the club proved Edwards was being factually inaccurate?

Aye, say hello for once.

I won't be doing anything, I was most definitely kidding. ava bang on dat

watt

Tbh I do think the league's shit this year but I don't see how the above proves that. There's been a bigger spread of points across the league than usual, top few aside.

Fucking perfect.

Honestly, East London will never be the same again.

I live in Bow - Bow Bells isn't bad, The Little Driver's pretty shite. Just gonna drink in the pub in my flat complex I think, before I go out and cause loads of bother.

It's been 4 years man, how can you possibly think he'll ever run out of or fail to find new excuses?

I live and work in London and everyone I work with thinks he's a smug twat and an awful manager. I've had more of the people who rate him, maybe it depends on if they support West Ham. Even the hatred from West Ham fans is slightly watered down while Allardyce is their manager, as they try to make out they've got it worse (current times of dizzy heights for both clubs excepted).

Gareth Barry.

No honestly, they often say that before a word has barely been said. Same tired clichés get trotted out, that he's doing a good job in the circumstances. I've just started saying "the football is dreadful mate" and they never have anything to say to that, presumably because they don't watch us much.

Flying without Ings, great stuff.

Not really, I work for a marketing agency. It really seems to be the common consensus down here.

Every fucker I speak to down here says "I like Pardew" whenever the subject's brought up, it does my head in.

Haven't seen/heard any of it tonight but he's such a fucking prick. I can't help wishing harm on him tbh.

Cool Pun-Ings.

I think it's Chelsea's title all day long personally, there's no chance they'll let this slip with that squad and manager. The rest of the league's looking quite open though.

It's still so tight from 4th downwards it's unreal like.

He was never given a fair enough crack of the whip before getting dropped to ever be described as "gash", honestly you'd think NUFC fans were used to watching the likes of Pele, Beckenbauer, Cruyff, Zidane and Shola on a weekly basis the way some people carry on about him.

So fucking quiet.

It's absolutely typical of his mindset though - the team only ever has 2 gears, either bore the absolute tits off everyone and kill the game as a spectacle or commit a few players forward, go (relatively) gung-ho and leave gaps at the back and often get picked off. The man has no idea of or inclination towards controlling a game, but when it works like it has recently it makes him look great in the eyes of all of the neutrals that glance at the results / table and don't have to sit through it week after sodding week.

Bad example really, that was the correct approach for that particular scenario (cos if we conceded an away goal we needed to score 4 to win it in the 90). It's the only time in four years that approach has been merited though and we keep seeing it at home against dross like QPR, Norwich, Reading etc every season, which is the real crime. I still don't think it was merited, we wasted 70% of our opportunity to win the tie. I remember it split opinion a lot on here but I'll never change my mind about it.

Increasingly the only gameplan we employ, just look at the proportion of goals scored in the second half this season. In fairness we are committing a few players forward against tired legs in the latter stages but the first 60 minutes or so are so often a total and utter waste of time.
