The main thing I'd say in his favour is that he'd clearly like us to have another 3 or 4 good players and was let down by the board on that. He'll be privately using that as an excuse though, goes hand in hand with the Europa League excuse. Mind you, it would be good if he packed in the Mike Ashley platitudes given that Ashley could have positively affected the situation.

Mannn, is this meant to be a fucking football match?

Maybe we can stumble onto a winning formula like last season. There's enough talent in our squad for them to work out a passing style even without any input from Pardew. In fact the less input from that twat the better. It will ahve to happen sooner rather than later though otherwise the season is going to fizzle out very quickly. Erm, harsh.

You sure about that? The rest of his tenure aside from this season can't have been dumb luck. Clearly something has changed, whether that's just mass complacency or some actual behind the scenes bullshit I have no way of knowing. The Europa League thing is a big part of it IMO, the negativity that he's drumming into the players about how this will affect them every other week is criminal. If he's so precious about preparation time then it's a wonder he wanted to qualify for it in the first place.

Christ, you must have taken some serious fucking gear. Tripping his tits off, the Spanish headcase.

You can't even stick your leg out to go for the ball these days.

Don't tell me we might get a point at home to West Ham!

I feel like I've went back in time a bit, feels like the sort of occasion that was very common 5 years ago.

It's because he's terrified of losing. We play with fear and caution, so this is what we're stuck watching. I'm so sick of watching us.

Get on with it man you cunts.

It is, you're right. Don't think we can expect Shola to play 90 minutes 2 or 3 times a week though, hence the shit situation we find ourselves in. I don't rate Kalou much at all but we should have got him or someone similar in the summer.

Well I feel totally inspired, might go for a 10 mile run after this.

If we had more options I'd 100% agree, then again if we had more options I doubt he'd be playing this poorly. That's the trouble with this purple player bullshit, there isn't much competition for places.

Aye, the stream went a bit American Horror Story there.

I'm an absolute idiot for sacking off Ultimate Team for this like, not least because I've lost custody of the telly now. FFS man, Pards.

Not sure you can say with any degree of certainty that that was in. Not on the replays I've seen anyway.

FUCK.

Well at least Tiote hasn't been booked.

Bollocks.

He's a fairly long-standing forum villain, I recall the day he forced me to do this:

Birtles having a go at someone for moaning.
