Aye, it's our fault. Are you braindead? Pardew is to blame for our season, fullstop. Has nothing to do with what I said. You're saying we're reading too much into it He actually said those words, we didn't. He's been talking shit all season but only since Sunderland has it become an issue. He's a shit manager, that's the important thing, not the shite he spouts. Most managers do that. That's just a lie. I'm not quite sure why you just lied there. Why did you lie? Yeah liar, i put it nicer though. It was a better idea to put it nicer. Well you are the king of debate like so I would do well to heed your advice.

I think he probably is genuinely pleased about not having to deal with the Europa League again. Quite a few managers probably share this opinion, but most are sensible enough not to say anything in public. Many pundits say that it is an unnecessary burden. I don't think it means he will actively try not to qualify in future though, that would be ridiculous. Name those managers then. I've got: Alan Pardew Harry Redknapp Not sure I can name them specifically, as I said they wouldn't say it in public . A few managers of a club who doesn't have a big enough squad to guarantee success in both competitions probably. Jol? Pulis? Then that's just an opinion from just yourself. Not from those managers. I know, as I said I don't have quotes to hand. But I don't think it's unfair to say that managers like that would consider the Europa League an unwanted burden on their squads. Holy fucking shit, man

A 4-0 defeat could very possibly cost us a couple of million quid.

:lol: Nobody is reading into anything.

f***ing hell. I'm pretty sure he didn't mean that literally like. Go on then, how else would he mean it? Baffled. Can't believe anyone would think he does mean it literally. He's expressing his relief at staying up FFS. I mean, he talks a lot of s**** but the reaction to some stuff from people is insane. Your constant defence of the bloke is pretty insane to be fair. It must get tiresome, even for you? I'm not defending his performance, I'm saying that it's stupid and childish to rip apart quotes that aren't remotely as bad as people choose to believe.

"Thank god we aren't in the Europa League" man That's the single worst thing he's ever said. Staggering.

He then says he just wants the fans to enjoy themselves. f***ing think before you speak Alan, if you're at all capable of that. This is a lovely bit too: “It’s been an unbelievable season and I think it’s been so, so tight because of the financial rewards at stake this year. I will make sure that we are well prepared for next season and thank God we are not in the Europa League again.” :lol: Fucking hell, what a prick, man.

I think we could have another season like the 5th position finish, although admittedly it's not likely. More likely mid table with some brilliant moments from individuals - the number of those moments defining where we finish. Yes, I do think things could go wrong under a new man, don't you? I agree the future isn't that exciting under Pardew, Wullie has made an excellent case for dreaming big before. I've admitted before that I would take a few seasons like I've described above, partly because of the hideous times we've had in our recent past. There probably is an element of defeatism about that, I admit. There would always be a gamble bringing in a new man I suppose but I think if you were to weigh up the odds we'd have far greater chance of success. 'shola it obviously isn't a given under any manager, I just think that a club like us shouldn't be content with "stability", just another number in the league. A lot of it comes down to whether or not the owners can choose the right man which I accept is a bit of a gamble, but I would take it. ps I don't think any sensible appointment would have us anywhere near a relegation battle, I think mid table is about the worst case scenario.

Would people peddling the stability argument happily accept mediocrity or do they actually believe that Pardew will have us fighting for a top 4 place consistently for the next 7 years? Or do they think that there is a chance that we will crumble and go down under a new man? Genuinely interested as I personally cannot see any reasons why we shouldn't take the gamble and bring a new guy in with the hope that we've done it right this time. There's nothing to be exited about under Pardew.

13th ffs

Should be sacked in the dressing room now.

What a fucking ludicrously good penalty.

main contact inside tbh What?

Probert man, what a fucking cunt.

I really want to like Whelan as it's quite nice to see a bloke doing well at his home town club and he genuinely seems to love the game, but he just talks so much shit on a near constant basis that I can't.

wtf

"between said establishments"

I've had my fill for the day with the Villa match, probably going to sit and play on Mushroom Wars instead.

Both Villa and Wigan cannot finish the season on 41 points.

Aye I kna. "Can I take your photo please, lads?" I'd be pretty worried personally. There's definitely a niche market for Jonas too.

I'm certainly not betting on us winning, I know that.

A 0-0 would probably be enough to keep us up, we deserve flogging if we don't win, like.
