For agreeing Anita should have got more game time but disagreeing Perch was the reason for this and him being sold for it. Aye, ok Tim Flowers!

Maybe happy face can draw out some stats on Perch's appearances in defence and how many times he played ahead of Anita in CM. I'm guessing it wasn't too many.

I thought Bigi was brilliant alongside him as well, even Perch played well in that as well. We still weren't in fine form results wise though. On the whole I thought Anita was on the learning curve ready for this season. Perch I just assumed was a mere squad player and it's hard to think Pardew thought other than that.

Good one

2 too many That is right, but if Perch was still here no way would he have been in alongside Tiote on Saturday. Just no chance of it. Anita has earned his spot on hard work and merited performances. If you show that, you'll earn a place in the team.

Perch had 2 more appearences than Anita. Knew it wasn't a landslide for Perch over him.

I've never know a player to be more hated by fans to be more respected. Abuse Perch got was horrendous, a lot by me as well tbf but i respected how he kept his head down and turned things around into an average squad player. Got to remember, Anita got a lot of stick on here as well.

he definitely preferred perch as a player without a shadow of a doubt. Hence him picking him over Anita. 1/10 troll attempt Not having that, like. He picked Anita ahead of Perch as well though I bet they both got about the same amount of time on the pitch? No way was it a landslide win for Perch even though he did cover every fucker in a defensive position Perch put in some excellent performances, tbh more so than Anita last season but most knew Anita would come on leaps and bounds.

And the fact they play the worst football in the league imo. They are painful to watch.

Whole sell Perch to play Anita is bollocks, like. Perch offered good cover in a variety of positions and did a decent job. I do think Anita would have less minutes this season though and even that would be wrong in itself but no way does Pardew think Perch is better than Anita, not a chance in hell. They got pretty much the exact same game time last season i would say and that's with Anita adapting to the league. Anita has forced his way into the side with good performances and other players should look up to him (not literally) for doing so when he could have easily taken a huff when first dropped for Tiote after being class in his absence. Regardless who was here, his performances would have forced his way in to a starting berth imo.

Fuck you Rich, fuck you

You've got to laugh, like. I know we aren't all clued up on the ins and outs of PL coaching but we just look woefully short in numbers and standard It just seems so amateur. Similar to that article not that long ago when they said the coaches reckoned bigi wouldn't make it, but had no reason for it. Laughable Aye crackers. Wouldn't mind knowing who's the inside informant, like. Dirty rat Probably just the journal trolling us, first Bigi, now Anita, they'll be saying Krul has never practiced kicking in training next

Seems to me like Barrett has be done over, wouldn't mind seeing his headbutt but since he has made such points i'm inclined to take the viewpoint it was pretty minimal contact.

Swift FA action this as well. Tomorrow is the date for something...

There's nothing to sweep under carpet? We went on a bad run, a very bad run. Nothing we haven't been through before but we've bounced back from them. We lost our best player, we had key players missing and things were looking bleak. A few on here were saying when we get Taylor out the side and few players back, our performance will be upped. Since that, its 2 from 2, it's not coincidental tbh.

People get caught up in soundbytes in clubs statements in how cups and europe aren't financially worth targeting or whatever s**** they said. End of the day though, they aren't on the pitch to stop the players from giving it a go. Yes we've had some dire cup performances, and last season million miles from Europe in the league but as far as i can see right now, the players/manager are going all out for highest possible position. I couldn't have been anymore pleased with how they handled themselves on the pitch at Hull. So p*ssed off that this headbutt has totally taken the shine of the players and even Pardew's own tactics to an extent. He’s let everyone down by his actions and he’ll know it. Even with that headbutt though, everyone left Hull with a belief we can get into Europe this season and we are still very much alive and kicking. You didn't leave the stadium thinking what a waste of time, we are done for, players have packed up their cases for the summer hols and we've nothing left to play for. Instead they did us proud and showed there's still life in this season yet, what more could you ask of them?

This is what i heard prior to Villa that players didn't care, Pardew only wants the win to save his job. We got the win with excellent team spirit and hit the 40 mark. Then build up to Hull was even worse criticism for Pardew and the players. They are safe now, don't want Europe, no need for us to win now we won last week, Pardew will be scared of them, 10 men behind the ball. Then we fucking trounced them. When does the belief come that we can give it a go...and more importantly are giving it a go?Could have been easy to go to Hull and put a half hearted performance in to a side in good form but we didn't, was the total opposite. Everton are hardly firing on all clylinders at the moment either and we all know Man Utd are prone to a canny fuck up lately. Just keep winning our matches and see where it takes us.

Like saying you rate Ashley because you think he'll appoint a class manager like Laudrup next. Really that simple isn't it, Bimps

so you don't let little things like him breaking every single "worst" record we've just about ever had (including our transformation into the mackems whipping boys) have an influence on your opinion of him performing his job? the only thing that matters is what, finishing top of the league in 8th? everything else be damned I'm just aware we'll have our bad runs like Jan/Feb but we'll come out and have our good run again. During that spell everyone was saying 9th/10th even some relegation battle. Whilst prasing Southampton (surprise surprise) because they have put a few good wins together. I said i still fancy us to come back ad over take them, Southampton will have their bad spell again and we'll come back to our good spell. The derby results are f***ing horrendous, like. He's a coward for them, no doubt about it but there is a bigger picture than that. I'm not one of them who would rather beat Sunderland twice a season and nothing else matters. Much rather have our current position than theres. He's got horrible records to his name but he's also got some excellent records to his name. He has had a rollercoaster of a time here to say the least with some very high points and some very low points. I said finish top 8 then put the pressure again on Ashley to invest in the summer, put the ball in his court so the fans can't look at you and say you're not putting us in the position to challenge. He's on course to do that then it's up to Ashely once again just like it was when we finished 5th.

You've got to laugh, like. I know we aren't all clued up on the ins and outs of PL coaching but we just look woefully short in numbers and standard

It's mental, said this for months now. If they do go down, i'd be blaming the board, not Hughton. May aswell keep him if they go down, knows the Championship well. The fact he's survivied that Villa game tells me he's got the rest of the season now. Hope he does keep them up though.

Thing is, my view is pretty much that. I just don't get swayed or change that opinion on the poor runs or awful performances. I'll continue to back him for the job until like you say someone of a higher order is being touted to come in, then if it's nailed on, he can fuck in an instant. I get frustrated on here with the comments leading up to the Hull as people saying we are putting 10 men behind the ball, we can't counter attack, we've hardly played well this season...these sort of things build up then we blow all those things out the water, not for the first time this season either then people come on and moan when i say i told you so. Which is childish, but they aren't the ones who have taken the stick during the week being called 'clueless' only for me to be proved right...not for the first time either It's like i should just accept the stick i get in the build up to a match then give nothing back after it? Hardly seems fair, like Anyways, had my rant, blame the idiot who created a second Pardew thread. I've done well to last till Wednesday without ruining it. Over and out .....for now

Proper hater you, Hans Not sure what you're trying to achieve by bringing up a balanced opinion of mine from months back like. Calm down, Hans You're one of the ‘Pardew lovers (Although we don’t really love him, just means you don’t want him sacked)’ sometimes, was just showing you that. Rather than comments like 'I've want him sacked for fucking ages', which looks like you're in the group with Mick/Santoon 'who want Alan Pardew physically torn apart and scattered across a pig pen'. You are a balanced poster and you do get swayed which is fine, was just giving you a reminder not to let this headbutt distract you from our superb performance on Saturday and things on the pitch have turned around after our disastrous Jan/Feb. Pardew made a massive error of judgement and showed his true cuntness on Saturday but if we all sat down with a bit of reason about things, it’s certainly not a sack worthy offence even if we could have played that card if we wanted as an excuse. He’ll get a worthy ban, we’ll accept it then carry on for the remainder of the season and see how things pan out. We’ve been shown in the last couple of weeks that the players haven’t given up on us and are still willing to fight for the highest position possible.

Proper hater you, Hans
