Piss off man, Pardew isn't a fucking doctor, he probably listened to the advice he was given. Yep, Pardew probably thought he was being cautious by not rushing him straight back into the side when he got back from Clairefontaine.

Finally get a full season? Can't see that ever happening and it's starting to get fkn frustrating. It's an absolute joke that he's missing out on the final stages of Europe, feels like it basically puts the kibosh on our already slim chances of winning it. I don't see why he couldn't tbh? Atleast a good ~30 games. He got his leg snapped by Nige, returned and then had his ankle done in by some Yank clogger. This is the first time he's had a genuine crock style injury to my recollection, save maybe a niggle or 2? It is frustrating that we haven't been able to see him consistently since he arrived, but I think people are looking solely at that point instead of looking at why he's been injured and why he hasn't played.

It's not Pardew's fault either like, he's not a fucking doctor.

How is he a crock? To my recollection this is the first major injury he's had that hasn't been inflicted by another player being a nob.

Fucking hell, cannot believe this like. If it's any consolation this may be a huge reason for him to stay at us and finally get his full season in a functioning side next year. It's a shame he'll miss Europe, but ultimately the league is pretty dead now for us, seeing him play is just a bonus.

Why the fuck WOULDN'T you marry Leonardo?

There's only 1 stadium of light friend ! And you guys are finnaly going to see it Love these guys already

Probably the hardest draw we could have gotten but it'll be a fantastic tie, cannot wait.

What, why? Not even a collaborative effort? Well when you bold "his" it does look like that is what I was trying to imply, yes

FWIW I think one of Anita, Marv and Bigi should be ahead of Tiote in most of our winnable home games, I don't agree that Bigi should be ahead of Tiote full stop. Just to distance myself from that

It's dependent on the game but I don't think it's that bad of a suggestion tbh. Tiote was awful today but I think a lot of the hate is a tad OTT, no way he should be playing every game though, one of Anita, Marveaux or even Bigirimana should be given the nod most home games.

Aye, as much as I would say a lot of the "in spite of Pardew" stuff has rang true in the league I don't think the same can be said here, IF he does win the Waffa (big IF) it'll be his doing.

He's never 5' 7". Aye Wikipedia is definitely wrong there, he cannot be over 5'5

People are saying he's good/bad based on what we've heard from the academy. We don't just randomly pluck little ginger kids off the street and hoy them in a game to see if they're up to scratch, they're trained for many years before that. Anyway I think there's an almost certain chance he'll make it in the Premiership, it'll take a monumental effort from the lad and the staff for him to become one of the leagues best though, would absolutely love it if he did.

There was one moment where he was fucking screaming for the ball out on the left all alone but everyone just ignored him Got a fair few touches after that though.

You're fucking wild you mate, proper wild hew

Imagine if he went full on Gandalf, for no other season than for the craic. Someone mock up an image of Gandalf Pardew watching Hatem skin Neil Taylor by the touchline.

But that makes it sound like smoking a joint and shagging a whore was a tedious mandatory task as opposed to something you would do for pleasure and enjoyment. It needs a bit of work.

We've seen him at Newcastle though and he's looked a good little player I honestly don't get this thread at all.

He was our best player in the reverse leg and looked really good in the absence of Cabaye earlier in the season tbf. Not sure why he's now supposedly a passenger?

Ronaldo is right though and he hasn't really contradicted himself here

Looked thoroughly un-Darren Bent like in his general play tonight too.

Flamini is not in the Gilberto & Petit bracket like.

My mate supports Leeds so I would love to see them up just to have a proper rival in the league.

He has 5 in 11 in the league since Man U. He's been heavily criticised by a select few nungers despite a run of form that would see him end a full season with 15+ goals. The fact he's clearly not at his best and is having an average of ~2 shots a game is a positive sign for most rational people.
