I'm six five. Do I get a game? Too tall I'm afraid, corners would just hit you in the face. Bugger. Have to stick with floaty-wafty balls missing Willo's head intead of mine for a bit longer then. Not the first time in my life an inch would have made all the difference.

The guy is one of life's twats. He just happens to be in a job where talent supercedes attitude and you are rewarded handsomely for it.

Godlike to the half-measures of chemical swill we drink here.

I struggle-o with the believability-o of that article. It seems very Ince-SanSiro. #fluentitalian

how come, if he's a goal every other game striker and he starts missing relatively easy chances surely thats his fault. isn't the sign of a decent striker that if one decent chance comes their way per game they take it ? Limitations covers that but played the right way in the right system and you maximise what he does have to offer. That was the top and bottom of what I was trying to say. He's not world class or anywhere near because of his limits but play him the right way with the right way and I've no doubt he'll get the return we've seen him display before. Everyone of our team is inhibited in some way by the way we play and he is, to the most stark of contrasts, no exception. That doesn't mean they are exempt from blame but I don't think they are helped by the influences of those responsible for the entirety of the team. He has to stay imo anyway.

He has undoubted quality; yet he has apparent limitations. It's the managements fault that the former can't emerge over the latter. Selling him would be folly right now without others coming in first.

These things are never helped by the fact that they are always viewed as if flat Stanley has just worn them. That said, it does indeed look like a duct tape clad pile of horse shit on current merit. Will to my supermac short ta very much.

I'd love to say that I believe that we were in for him. My gut instinct is that these claims are just too Ince substantial.

This is going go bite us back in the arse big time.

Aw fuck. Well at least we know. The kicker will be when we know Pardew stays true to type as is sacked that there willl be a mad scramble and lack of takers because we missed out on any window to get good candidates in. Call me negative but I don't see any positives in what this guy does.

Hatems gonna hatem, brah.

Has there been given any reasons to why he's sacked? Too Frank

I've been told from my boss at work (who's last exclusive was that shola was going to Celtic last season ) that Ashley has asked him for a dossier of why it all went wrong. He will make his decision at the end of the week. MA: Okay Alan, I've made my position clear that you are a supreme shit-sucking cleft....Do you have the dossier? Pardew: Sure chief, I've cracked wot woz the real fret to our campaign...have a look at page one.

If he does stay and we have to put up with it, I hope that Ashley tears strips of him in that meeting. The last thing I want is the smug, self-assured tit thinking that how he carries on is in any way acceptable. I know MA probably isn't the most ambitious but you would hope he has given Pardcluess ten nil.

and get us transfer embargoed for talking to the player without permission from his club Hmmm. That's a fair point you raise. I officially withdraw this suggestion. Sorry for wasting everyone's time. Dekka has a nob? Aye. It frequently plays Cisse on the wing and sits on 1-0 leads.

Maybe...but it there will be squirming and support through gritted teeth for me I'm sure.

He'd be better at getting on the end of the balls providing and holding it up on the pitch. Don't think he'd be any less isolated than Cisse has been though. He'd be crowded out no matter how big or imposing he is; based on this seasons tactical appraisal.

It doesn't make a difference whether the fans are moaning or not. It doesn't make any difference to the club, but it makes our lives f***ing miserable. After this week I have to agree with Brett, better batten down the hatches and look forward to next season. It obviously won't be near as bad as this one. That isn't certain tbh because we don't who'll leave or not. It would take something drastic to happen to even be close to as bad as this season. I think we could lose two/three key players and we still won't be hitting 5th bottom again. This season was just a disaster all around. I feel sorry for fans if they are going into next season thinking we are going to be anywhere near as bad. The onus is on Pardew to us give a reason not to be negative. So far its been been lies and scapegoating with little in the way of concrete progress each time. My optimism will only stretch as far as my perception of success (i.e not bottom 5 at the very least) allows it to be. I expect it to be better but ultimately fear it could equally be worse.

http://i40.tinypic.com/33xygya.jpg On average teams drop one or two places the season following Europa League qualifying. However, since the Europa League started in it's current format 4 years ago not a single qualifying team from England has taken such a downturn in the league. We dropped 11 places. Fulham had the next worse drop when the dropped just 5 places from 2009 to 2010. Graph or no graph it's pathetic is what it is.

Still talking about the Europa League like its fucking Sauron I see.

I don't know how they have the nerve to be so crass and without humility after the season we've had. Just shows us up this sort of shit. Well I say I don't know but they are classless, ambition-lite morons.

Assam Ben Arfa

Yeah, that was during the spell that Pardew was handling the situation really well, telling everyone who would listen that Ben Arfa definitely isn't a wide player. Cisse has done a good job there to be fair http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lq0v6756Fd1qfumd9o1_400.gif
