Terrible selection. Hopefully we'll lose heavily enough to see some discontent at the ground, at least.

Looking forward to hearing the commentary today. "Alan has made a bold choice going 4-4-2, he's been under some pressure recently but he always likes to set his teams up to play on the front foot".

Seriously, what the f*** are we doing? Should be a shocking quote, but I'm not even slightly surprised.

Gameweek 27: Chelsea 2 - 0 Everton Arsenal 2 - 0 Sunderland Cardiff 1 - 1 Hull Man City 3 - 0 Stoke West Brom 2 - 1 Fulham West Ham 0 - 2 Southampton Crystal Palace 0-1 Man Utd Liverpool 3 - 1 Swansea Newcastle 1 - 1 Aston Villa Norwich 1 - 1 Tottenham

Probs just a CM rather than a number ten. Even so, a midfield three of Anita, Sissoko and Tiote will create very little.

Not sure why anyone would prefer Sissoko to Marveaux in the number 10 position, especially after his recent performances.

:lol:

Hoping we end the season badly enough for Pardew to get sacked. Starting tonight. Prick. Dropping HBA again ffs.

Pepe Mel is doing a good job, I reckon they'll stay up (despite having some tough fixtures remaining). Demonstrated tactical flexibility tonight and against Liverpool by abandoning the high line of defense, which really doesn't suit the slower players they have (Reid, Lugano, Olsson etc.). Further proof that far superior managers to Pardew are out there and willing to work under tight budgetary constraints and (presumably) for not a huge amount in terms of salary, too. So frustrating.

GW26: Cardiff 1-1 Aston Villa Hull 1-1 Southampton West Ham 0-0 Norwich West Brom 0-2 Chelsea Arsenal 3-1 Man Utd Everton 2-1 Crystal Palace Man City 2-0 Sunderland Newcastle 1-1 Tottenham Stoke 2-2 Swansea Fulham 1-3 Liverpool

A reaction like that for taking the lead against Fulham in a nothing game Him and Pardew are cut from the same cloth. Forgot about that http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9c48wCltdFQ

Using him on the right of a 4-4-2 . Man U under Moyes really does remind me a lot of us under Pardew. Rigid formations with little off the ball movement, hopeful crossing into the box as the only means of attack, relying on moments of magic to win the game..

Will surely be leaving in the summer.

You could argue Hughes, Allardyce, Meulensteen and maybe Pepe Mel but Pardew is just so unlikeable and lies through his teeth. Mel will turn out to be a good manager IMO.

Sissoko as a number 10 again? Should be Marveaux playing there with Sissoko dropped back next to Anita. Anita and Santon is far too weak as a pairing in CM.

Gameweek 25: Liverpool 1-2 Arsenal Aston Villa 1-0 West Ham Chelsea 3-0 Newcastle Crystal Palace 1-1 West Brom Norwich 1-3 Man City Southampton 2-0 Stoke Sunderland 2-1 Hull Swansea 1-1 Cardiff Tottenham 2-2 Everton Man Utd 2-0 Fulham

Anyone defending Pardew at this point deserves performances like yesterday. Morons.

I don't think he has progressed as a player since the day he signed.
