I can take an off day. I can accept us losing if we at least try. I just can't see us getting better any time soon and that's worrying.

They deserved it tbf

We're gonna get beat off southampton if we play like this

Oettinger's a canny drop like, hadn't tried it before.

Maritimo are giving us a game. Maritimo.

Think we'll still be 4-2-3-1?

nooooooo

oooh, dunno about that like

That's a bit of a test really. If we go for the jugular and get at them then i might believe we're turning a corner, if we try and sit on 1-0 i'll die a little inside.

Shit, 3 men sent off and Pard's getting off with Dekka's wife in the dugout

Lovely work from HBA too

GET IN

Give it a chance, first 15 minutes of a game are always up in the air.

Pards hair is untidy, think he's feeling the pressure. /folliclelanguage

3:30am now, was thinking to go to bed until I saw that. Work tomorrow

That looks good :-) Think we could give them a hammering tonight.

I'd be intrigued to know of any non-European based defenders are you may be advocating here? No idea tbh, I just thought there would be at least one or two from outside of europe in the top twenty.

Am I mistaken or is this a fifa thing and not a uefa thing? Just wondering because all of the shortlisted players play in europe.

I think that's just human nature to be honest. I can sympathise because I'm terrible at it myself - if anyone criticises this post for instance I'm liable to have a right strop. Or maybe sulk. You should do with that sentence. Comma's boy, use them ahem

Why does everything that happens have to be an excuse to have a go at "some people on here"? You mean, some people in the world, some people who have a different view to you. Incredible really. "Some people" who were wrong at the time and are even more wrong now. Not naming any names, of course... You didn't really get my question. Doesn't matter like. You could just admit you were wrong about it... As if. I'm only playing, dawg. My point is that most people (everywhere) realised we'd need a bigger squad than what we have now to compete in at least 2 competitions and it was just brushed under the carpet by Pardew when it didn't happen. Now it's dawned on him, when we're 12th, that a few more players would be helpful. Coincidence or stupidity? I don't think its either tbh. AP has to live with our transfer policy or go elsewhere. That policy has done him some real favours in the past but last time round it came up short. So he has his own internal battles to fight with Ashley/Llambias and whingeing about his squad in public after the August transfer window wouldn't have done him or the club any good. But he's winging about it now after saying it was brilliant a few months ago. He knows more than anyone how all that stuff works and it's only now a problem when we're/he's doing badly. If we were currently top 6 I doubt he'd be banging this particular drum. There's a transfer window coming up and he's making his case for investment. Leading up to and during the summer transfer window he did the same. He didn't get it then because the club couldn't sign the players it had as targets due to its refusal to break the transfer policy. He had to publicly endorse his squad after the window, what else could he do? Lets see what happens in January..... Is this the new 'wait until the end of the window, still months/weeks/days left yet'? Nothing else we can really do but wait and see but I hope he's knocking their door down for a CB, a RB and someone to play on the left of a front three. Yes Tbf we have done decent business in the January window before. We have. I'm hoping we might jump on some of the targets whose contracts are expiring in the summer so we can nip in before there's more teams in for them on a free.

Yas are all mackem kernts. If I see yas down the blue pop arms tneyt i'll wire ya jawers for yas. watch ya lettabox ftm

Could someone paste the story here? Can't get on bbc at the moment.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing if you use it. And yes, people do think you should be doing something, you're the manager.
