Give over, man! What 'turgid' football, like? The turgid football when we came from behind to beat Chelsea? When we matched Spurs and Swansea (purists' favourites, innit) away from home. When we scored four goals at home against Southampton? Honestly, what do you want? The football's generally very poor IMO, it's a chore watching it.

Think people are just losing patience with the same turgid football every week. It's been better since January, but it's still almost utterly tedious stuff. Seems to me like that patch we had last season where we were playing football that was easy on the eye was the exception, rather than what we're working towards. That was 5 or 6 games out of over 100.

We weren't shite either tbh, thought it was a very average performance. We controlled the game, and deserved the win. I don't think even the 'forum optimists' are claiming anything more than that TBH. We play like that almost every week, if not worse. In your eyes, is it good enough? You act like it is. Some people go on like we're the smallest club in the world with everything they post.

We didn't play fairly well. It was uninspiring rubbish for the most part. The well known "optimists" on this forum are alarmingly easily pleased.

Agree word for word. There was plenty that Pardew did well today as well as things that could be considered bad. Think some are using their general dislike for the man as a reason to bash him, but to be honest, today was an ok days work, nothing more nothing less. Nah. Worst N-O cliche going.

We never play particularly well, it's just better some weeks than it is others. But then again, you'll know that if you have eyes. We've been better lately, as I said before the game. However the point is that the football is tedious, there's no dynamism there whatsoever. Just pointing out that I'm bored of watching it, I've been watching us for 20 years and I don't see much point watching us when this is the best football we're aiming for. Not that I'll stop watching us or anything, I'm just saying I'm not particularly happy about it. Also just to reiterate to dcmk, you're an absolute WUM for coming out with something like "Maybe because you can't play really well every week?" Don't insult the basic perceptive skills of people who have been going to/watching the match for years and know when the football's shite every week.

:lol: WUM.

My thoughts exactly. Agree. I´m dying here trying to understand how happy most in here are after that shit display. I'm really happy with the result, don't get me wrong - I'm just considering spending my weekends doing something more interesting.

You bored of watching it now? This is what I forget in between games, how much I hate watching the games. Kind of hit home a bit today. There's no need for it to be this tedious. We're basically safe now IMO, so maybe that will see the shackles come off a bit. @CaulkinTheTimes Pardew (on safety etc): "I think we're done. We've got to get 40pts and we're 7 from that, but I expect this team to follow through." Oh yeah, - well done, Alan.

If that's what passes for a good performance these days then that tells you all you need to know. We were clearly the better team but you'd see more spark at an ME disco.

Well yeah. Was still rubbish though.

True, I'm really glad we appear to have sorted that out. Just shows these things are psychological blocks and once you've cracked it you've cracked it. Next: set penises.

I'm really relieved and happy at the result, but the nondescript non-football performances are becoming a big concern now. Bit sick of devoting 2 hours of my day to watching it, and it's even worse when you actually go. I'd change managers in the summer, but that's coming from a fan who wants to see decent games now and again.

We've sort of done to them what they did to us at their place, nice one.

It's been very functional as usual. Not much fun at all.

That's a brilliant free kick. My stream is so fucking far behind.

Score please.

Sissoko really should do better there.

Fucking woeful performance this, there's no excuse for these players playing with such a lack of spark.

GTFO.

He's a good player when fit, easily good enough for where we want to be (as 1 of 3-4 good centre halves).

Well done Jonas, got MYM out of a pickle there.

Terrible Philosophy.

he is sitting down
