Interpolic

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

And that's the problem.

Tell me he didn't say that.. Please.. Of course he said it.

Seriously, one of our biggest weapons tonight is the crowd and he wants to bore them to sleep.

"If we could get to the last 20 minutes still needing 2 goals then I'd take that now". Why man, you fucking muppet! WHY?!

I'm sorry, I'm seriously not buying it. Resting 2 players who quite often don't feature is not playing a weakened side.

Like I say there's more than 1 way to skin a cat, I'll never be happy with the way he sets us up for matches. If we go through then happy days and he'll get credit from me, but his ridiculously negative approach is in no way the only way. No chance.

30 Seconds to Pards

'Polic, I can read you like a book. You're digging on Pardew. Digging on?

Pardew At The Disco.

Are we really playing 4-4-1-1 with Bigi on the right wing and Jonas on the left wing?

There's more than 1 way to skin a cat, if this one works then fair play but if not I'll be fucking raging. Negativity first, almost always.

Of course we'll sit back if we go 2-0 up man Can't blame him, it works 100% of the time 0% of the time.

Holy f***ing s***. . I don't see anything wrong in there. Even Laurent Blanc played Debuchy on the right wing against Spain at the Euros to counter Jordi Alba. Although Alba did get an assist for the goal I don't give a fuck about Laurent Blanc like, he's almost as big an emo as Pardew is.

Holy fucking shit.

I don't buy it, it seems like he's only really benched Marveaux and Perch out of the better options available to him - one of them is down to his raging negativity and the other is down to him being a fucking muppet. Not sure priorities come into it. Didn't expect Ben Arfa to start and happy with him having a cameo role.

If he needs, needs, needs to play a defensive-minded player in the middle then I'm going to bang this drum again - play Jonas in that role and put Marveaux out wide where he's at least on the pitch in an advanced position. Marveaux is not on the pitch anywhere near often enough.

Cheers, he can fuck off then. Again.

He's not exactly playing much of a weakened team - who has he rested that he could have started? Not many.

If he's playing Bigi for the first time in yonks when Marveaux is fit and available then I have big issues with it.

What's the bench?

That really doesn't look a great side on paper at all.

That's about as funny as me shaving a cat and throwing it at a wall.

JUST TELL ME THE FUCKING TEAM NEWS

Harrrrrrrrr.
