Ian, you're a good guy, but honestly you'd sound less daft if you just said 'I agree with everything Pardew does' and leave it at that. I suppose other people just hate everything by default, so it's not that bad an idea. He set out his plan before the game, it's debatable whether it's the right one obviously. But it's not pathetic, mental or ridiculous is all I'm saying. If we'd conceded a goal from one of the myriad of chances they had first half, what would we have done then? Exactly, people are going on like we've played a blinder by choosing to have no attacking threat for 45 whole minutes, and we nearly conceded anyway.

Exactly. Fair enough some fans would rather we just went at them and fuck the consequences, but Pardew's approach is obvious. We'll see if it works. It's always one or the other. Aye, I wanted us to play 10 up front.

Every match is eye-wateringly shit to watch, and every match the same people are accused of being negative for saying so. I hope to God we get the 2 goals we need in the 2nd half but this really isn't the only (or actually the smartest IMO) way to go about it.

Exactly, either some people are thick as shit or they're deliberately choosing to whinge for no reason. blinded by hate tbh. This is such bollocks. Thoroughly negative first half and I'd say the same if I was watching a Ferguson Man Utd team or whoever. Our gameplan is always negative, I have a problem with it and so do others, get over it.

Don't see what's so funny about that. Well, you and Pardew seem to share the same half a brain and it was also funny that you just popped up when the game had become slightly more bearable from NUFC's point of view. On 40 minutes, when we tried to attack. In a game we need to win 2-0. We could have easily conceded there, it's not down to Pardew's tactical nous that we didn't. Yet we offered nothing going forward.

His plan is working so far, we've miraculously managed not to concede despite inviting pressure against a team who probably expected to play on the break.

What makes him think we can just turn it on like a tap on 70 minutes after playing like shite for the whole game?

I can't quite believe what I'm seeing. Been excited all week and this is the plan.

This.

That GIF's going to be brilliant.

Get in level at HT then throw the kitchen sink at them in the second is what I'm guessing is his gameplan? Not saying I agree with it but there's a certain degree of logic behind it. As long as you defend properly... What do we do if we, God forbid, score the first goal? Do we attack them, or contain them until the last 20 mins? We just need to make sure that doesn't happen.

Fucking ridiculously lucky escape that, Benfica are mugs for not finishing us off there.

The pizza's finished, just like Harry Potter.

Fucking arseholes.

Stop having homosexual sex at once! Pardon?

Crowd sound a bit flat. Don't blame them.

Go get more pizza!!! Buy 100 pizzas, because it's still nowhere near good or urgent enough. I meant my mood, not the game. Fair enough.

Ahhhh, Cisse needs to do better there.

Tyldsley man, join the Margaret Thatcher club.

Could be game over before we've got going here.
