What the fuck man?

Would happily cash in on Tiote. He's been shit this season.

Fucks sake man.

The whole side looks more calm with him in the team.

Having Colo back could be vital to not hoofing as much because he'll soak up the pressure where Williamson normally crumbles.

He's class on Fifa.

Will take horrendous football tonight if it guarantees 3 points.

Martinez. Can't hack Pardew any longer.

Playing as bad as we were under Allardyce. Football's shit, subs are shit, tactics are shit and clearly motivating the teams shit. We're playing a horrible rigid formation, two strikers who are never going to work together, a goalkeeper who has the quality but must be getting instructed to launch it. A rightback who hoofs the ball as far away from him as possible wheever he's near it. A centreback who's weak as piss, shit on the ball and can't fucking read the game. Why was Anita taken off today? only player coming into the game a bit. Pardew's a fucking coward and I'm absolutely sick of him. Don't even want to hear his shit excuse this week, will probably involve europa league and small squad. Relegation form and a change of manager who's teams play football is needed.

How the fuck did Simpson graduate at Man U? he's useless.

I really want Pardew out. This is depressing to watch.

This is relegation stuff and doesn't look like improving anytime soon.

I'd love Martinez like. Just the kind of football I wanna see us play.

Playing shit long ball football has fuck all to do with injuries considering we've been playing it for pretty much all of Pardew's tenure.

Think it's time to move ahead without him. Poor football for two years except for 10 or so games is just not acceptable and we've been made to look like fools awarding him an 8 year contract. With the players at his disposal he should not be playing a defensive long ball style of football. I also think formations are a huge part to why we're doing so poorly considering most teams have a 3 man midfield now, with us playing with two in the middle our cm's are always outnumbered so we're fighting a battle before games have even kicked off. Tactics wise he has been so poor this season it's shocking from a professional manager. Having one set piece plan that has never been successful and one dimensional that now opposition teams know if they can stop Williamson winning the ball in the air they can nullify our whole set piece routine thus killing all threat. I would like Pardew to be able to prove he can turn it all around and get the team fighting back up the table but I know the results would come with the poor football. We've played a direct style for pretty much all of Pardew's tenure except for that small burst last season with the 4-3-3. The direct game did pay off sometimes last season with the win against Man Utd being a great example. In an ideal world we'd dismiss Pardew and replace him with a manager who plays passing attacking football because with the side we have our whole team would relish from it ( Williamson and Simpson aside). I have no faith what so ever in this board to 1) have the balls to realise that Pardew needs to go 2) find the correct man for our team to replace him as a compensation fee would be required as a manager of the quality required will no doubt have a team.

Even Shola had a smoking gun celebration.

Not anymore he's not, matey. He can't start games. Keegan and Allardyce had him where he belonged: 5th choice/oot the door - and that was when he had a modicum of mobility. Eh, he was a kid back then. Even by the time Keegan left he was still only 17, when Allardyce left he was 16 (and also he was at Southampton). Good one. Shola's Nigerian so let's make an age joke.

Think he'd offer something totally different to our first 11, while opposition CB's were getting distracted by stopping Carroll imagine how much space that would open up for HBA as teams would stop tripling up on him.

I don't think we really missed him during that period without him this season.

Can't wait til he's gone, one of the main players holding us back along with Williamson. Offers nothing going forward and very average defensively. Hope a club treats us and takes him off our hands in January so we don't have to wait until the summer.

Still would have him back in a second.

Wonder what Martinez would be like at us.
