Always goes un-questioned as well by journalists when anyone mentions Pardew and attacking, attractive football. As if it is a foregone conclusion.

I think that is what we're all thinking to be honest. What a fucken joke but is anyone surprised?

Why is he still on set pieces? If he is going to be number one free kick and corner taker, I think we are in for another season of absolutely garbage set pieces similar to that of the previous couple of seasons.

Not happy about letting him go at all. Would much rather we kept him.

Liking the look of Wijnaldum.

Missed a lot of the first half but from what I have seen, looks pretty boring.

Cringe!

Where has he said this at?

Hahaha.

Mr Logic -

What do you expect to be in a Charlie Austin thread, created on the basis that he might sign for us? Not been around long have you. 5 years. You must hate being wrong all the time. Why does it matter how long you've been "around"? Well you can't work out how a thread works. You're canny boring.

A lot of footballers know their level but would obviously jump at the chance of CL football. It seems Sissoko doesn't.

Sissoko naturals position. Still can't work out where he favours to play to be honest. He's blown hot and cold in every position he's been asked to play since signing for us. What is His "preferred position" exactly. CM B2B, stick with it consistently and you'll get performances out of them there. Trouble is we have rarely tried it and when ever it went wrong under Pardew he'd stop it ( that goes with anything really), impossible to get any sort of continuity when every time something doesn't go well you scrap it. Possibly but like I said, he's blew hot and cold in all the positions he's playedat so I just can't make my mind up where he's comfortable playing at. Yet he thinks he should be playing Champions league football. Slightly deluded.

Talking about diamond formation, 4-4-2 and overlapping fullbacks in the Charlie Austin thread? Yeah nobody is assuming he's going to sign. Of course not yeah, ok.

Nobody is talking about Austin at all like Oh they are.

Love the way everyone is talking as if we have already signed Austin.

I went to that game. Halcyon days. Me too, as an 8 year old. Got Keegans autograph. That was the start of it all. Love that bloke.

My god!!!

;D

When has he said this and in relation to what? http://www.sportsmole.co.uk/football/crystal-palace/news/pardew-frustrated-with-referee-in-sporting-loss_235548.html Alan Pardew, it's never your fault.

Anyone got any idea what the hell was going on for their first goal? Williamson seems to be running back from being miles out of position for starters.
