Next six games aren't very nice It'll be interesting to see how the crowd reacts if we pick up less than 6 points... Which i think we'll get four from.

Last time we lost 4 was pre/post KK fallout. Arsenal, Hull, West Ham, Blackburn. 5, God knows. For 5 defetas it will have to be either from 91/92, 88/89 or some time in the 70's under Dinnis or whoever we were shittest under.

Jesus

We would have been majestic. Even if it went tits up a year later, the ride would have been fun. 8 months was too short, and it was cruel on all parties. ----------------- I remember hating Pards when he came in, then he won me around. Then i started hating him again particularly after drawing against WBA 3-3. The manner of that capitulation was a disgrace. He then won me over again, whilst annoying the fuck out of me by not playing Santon and HBA, now he's pissing me of again!!! I think i've been more agitated with him in charge than loving him tbh.

He manged our club

I think the feeling behind this was, no more spending money on players from other Academies (effectively giving money away) and instead spending that money on investing on better coaches at youth level to ensure the players we already have here are given the opportunity to become as good as they can. There still will be players signed at u18 level, just not for the high fees that were wasted on the likes of Tozer and Aaron Spear. In part it goes back to your club ethos wish. The Academy has one, and is gearing up in delivering it. Hopefully they'll remain on board with the ethos and not change it (like what has happened in the past 15 years). There's been a good move away from the recruitment of physical players (teaching the tall, fast & strong to be footballers), to intelligent players that want to learn, can learn and adapt quickly. It was a massive blow that we didn't gain the highest level Academy status though. Again coming from investment imo.

It's simple, attack them. We've scored goals and sat back too often. We need to get a goal and keep going at them as if it was 0-0 and we will get a reaction from the crowd. Perch being banned might create an opportunity for Marveaux to get a game and I would drop Jonas for Ben Arfa. But he wins free kicks that we never score from though?

No win away from home in all competitions as we reach December

:aww: Compare the side he had in 2008 to the one Pardew has had for the last 16 months man Imagine how we'd playing, compared to the cowardly, defensive shite that has been served up since the end of April this year

And which manager won manager of the year but his side didn't score a corner for 14 months and never came from behind to win?

Anything less than a win and we'll turn on him... 0-0 Or we score first and draw 1-1

:'( Pardew's last game? EDIT: First time i've ever done one of these. Hopefully we'll win...

to all of our good players in January or the summer.

Pet hate is too tame for this. For me it's up there with cancer, the holocaust and Justin Bieber. Cancer's potentially curable, the holocaust has been and gone and Justice Beaver might get shot tomorrow. Not sure they measure up tbh, there's no end in sight with this.

Good work on the new routine Pards

Good first 10, shit last 35

Nah. Save the makems for the final. The police job for that would be horrendous! How would they seperate the fans on the way down there?

What shipping centre? A post office, bakery and tescos?

Yep, i would

Aye my mate did. There's a cracking video of it. He went off to the bogs and everyone said aye he'll definitely fall down. So we videoed it on the off chance

Sammy Ameobi Pardew actually plays him
