Jesus wept, man Eh? did you say something?

If he'd made a change before the winning Swansea goal I have absolutely no doubt he'd have been slagged for changing what was working. Well I can't account for everyone else but I can guarantee you that I wouldn't have.

Like in any walk of life a real man takes action when the situation requires and the same applies in football management. Changes had to be made to capitalize on our relative dominance and add that little spark that we needed. Oh we're a goal down and now you make the changes? You must want to score a goal now

skinny? ffs the guys a big man

I would say Europa League qualification, is good, top ten acceptable, anything less then that is not good enough with what's available. Assuming there are no major outgoings in your scenario. Just Colo as expected. 10th place acceptable with that squad really? I guess I rate our players a lot higher than some...

So we sign 1 or 2 good players in the summer (let say Aubameyang and Sakho, or similar level signings) and a few prospects to pad out the squad. What then is a good season for Pardew?

Just coincidence you were quoted. Mass wanking is a bit extreme like But there are a lot of thinly veiled digs and others not veiled at all that are only being posted because Pardew won a few games

I agree, the mass wanking over him has been so excessive I have gone blind and completely missed it.

All this Pardew praise man ffs 7th is par for this squad so wait until we at least get there before even starting to wank over him man

Read the posts again man, I'm clearly addressing a specific point. If you weren't being ironic with your comment about long balls, then your comment doesn't make sense. I'm sure you'll forgive me for misinterpreting what you said, considering. I was being sarcastic, clearly.

Read the posts again man, I'm clearly addressing a specific point.

What are you rambling about?

Aye, credit Pardew for switching to the long ball for this game.

Overrated: Players out of form. Underrated: Players in form

People are confusing causation and correlation here.

Are you a member of the BNP? Seems every second post you make is complaining about "foreigners"...

Give it a rest, Stu. You like Pardew. We get it.

Tiote over Anita

Tracking back does not affect average position? the key word is "back" and 1 tackle a game? Wow he really does track back a lot. I mean that's a whole 0.5 more tackles than Cristiano Ronaldo

Only going on what my Spurs season ticket holding mate says. I suspect he knows better than you or me to be honest. You only have to look back to the match on Saturday to see how much Bale tracks back. My eyes must be deceiving me... Oh wait source: http://espnfc.com/blog/_/name/tacticsandanalysis/id/868?ghghg&cc=5739 I guess Ronaldo is a tracking back work horse too Read more here: http://footballspeak.com/post/2011/12/09/The-secret-to-Gareth-Bales-recent-success.aspx

How could Routledge possibly have proved him more wrong? Unless, of course, Alan Pardew does not value goals and assists.

Agree except for the bolded part- who are these people?
