Part of the reason he goes for insane shots is that he's frustrated at beng the only attacking prescence n the whole squad. Every other player s milling about in our own half. So dour. So negative and not the way to get the best o0ut of the lkes of this guy.

Think the shitstorm that surrounds this is masking the fact that we are poor every week...even the win mid week masks the negative shite we peddle.

I understand that they were good opposition and the result was great. The likes of Jonas coming on a regularly being stood between the two centre halves and Campbell played so so deep when they were a man down doesn't inspire me going forward. It may be negative but I dunno...be nice to have all the pieces of the puzzle all in place to try to win something to say the least.

Have to say I'm really surprise and the glowing responses. I thought we looked cagey and cautious pretty much the way through with little movement and urgency given the gravity of the game.

cack. perch please. or let jonas do his job.

Great result. Inspid performance in general. 1 up front against 10 men and chancing a 93rd minute winner doesn't inspire positivity gong into the quarters.

Championship speed merchant fodder. (Obertan)

At least he's got his job working in the lab with Beaker to fall back on.

When I think he got the wrong end of the stick when his mates said lets go to match dressed as Shaft.

'After a hard day at the football office beating Stoke, I like nothing better than to renact Temple of Doom whilst pretending to be Stephen Hawking whilst being chased by actor of TV and film Sam Elliot....but hey that's just me I guess...' - Papiss Cisse, 2013

Who put us in it then? Obviously Pardew takes his share of the blame along with the ownership, players and injuries/circumstances. Logically then Pardew only takes his share of the praise for turning it around along with the ownership, new players and lessening injuries etc. We were mostly shit this season, then we got some new players and some injuries cleared up and we haven't been as shit since. I'm not particularly on either 'side' here because I'm perfectly prepared to see what happens next season and think some go too far, but it's not hard to see why people are continually cynical about Pardew's management ability. If things had turned around without an influx of new players, there wouldn't be half as much cynicism. Basically. He just appears to be phenomenonally mediocre based on the style he has produced consistently snce being here.

do you watch football ? for all stoke don't have players you salivate over they have survived the past few years on more than the myth of their set pieces, their goals against us down there should show you that. recently our team has picked itself, expect very similar to line ups v chelsea/southampton/swansea. Stoke play a percentage game which means they are willing to give up possession. So that gives us the opportunity to make that possession count by picking the right players in the right areas. So now I would have to ask...do you watch football? Why don't we try what we did last season at home to stoke. Give the ball to Ben Arfa at every opportunity?

The worst thing about Babayaro was that he could actually play when he wanted to, he had a brilliant game when his brother had just died. Ran out of brothers evidently....

There's footage of him looking quite upset after the game tbh...

Eliot made a fantastic save against Et'oo, it has to be highlighted.

'Will.i.an dropped; won't get beat now'

Never understand his relationship with gravity. 'Fuck you Newton...fuck you and your apples...THIS...IS...SHOLAAAA!'

Simon Phoenix on to put it into row Z from 50 yards with his first touch

Shola could kill a man with his bare hands...no chance of scoring though.

Marveux has been only marginally less wasteful.
