You gotta admit though, strong trollface.

No merit in getting an extra man in midfield? When did we do that? Tbh that's why I was perplexed when Obertan stayed on and Santon went off. I just mean the mentality seemed today to be to settle for a point the whole second half, resulting in hardly any attacking play at all

Yeah, it really does look like Pardew is hoping they just "click" and it all comes off. No. Get a gameplan. Ba dropping deep seems to be the way to go, he seems to come quite deep on most occasions anyway. Goes without saying, Hatem on the right. As for the rest, well I'd be tempted to drop Cabaye for Guthrie. As much as I love Cabaye, he's simply not been up to it lately and Guthrie has looked the better player for me. Santon should still start for me, particularly at home. I'd like to see him have a shot when he cuts in, can't do any worse than some of Tiote's efforts Desperate for a win here, some good football would be pleasant aswell.

Getting sick of the negative approach of the bloke and his still baffling team selections. Obertan for Cisse is a fucking joke.

Spot on.

This is gona be a long 20 mins if we keep this up.

What. The fucking hell. Cabaye. Jesus.

Fuck me, a foul on Ba actually given.

GO ON HATEM, GO ON!

Can't even get the ball man, jesus.

Cabaye seriously.

Erm

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES

Jesus

Wonder what he means with "we know how he’s going to play before a game and we like that with Alan" Hoof ball He's talking about Pardew explaining the game plan to Llambias and Ashley before each match. Something came out after KK left and again after Hughton left that the two up top want to hear the game plan before each match. KK thought it was a stupid idea and that was part of the friction between them. Same with Hughton, although he was more willing to do it. Obviously Pardew doesn't have a problem with it. "Gana facking hoof it up to them tall fellas up top and hope Ryan has another fantastic game foar us!"

Just takes the piss really

Quite strange to think we had Barton then, seems like a lifetime ago

Against pace? When? whoosh. Fuck.

Against pace? When?

As pleased as I was with that second half, it's whether he'll finally learn it for the long term for me tbh. This. Plenty of times for me Pardew should have learned from mistakes, for example playing a ridiculous high line against pace, yet he has repeated these offenses. Time will tell, I still think he's done a good job here though

What? Do you play football? If someone tells me to shoot and I'm at the corner flag I'm not gona go yeah alright I fancy this actually

Awful first half. Battered them in the second. Nearlly died when Ba missed the pelanty, I was actually screaming for Shola to take it Hoping to God Pardew sorts out this negative approach and gives Ben Arfa a permanent spot in the team from now on.

Electric today. Game changer. How on earth do we have this talent on the bench every week? So what if he loses it now and then, the things he creates far outweigh the times he might lose it.

Desperate for a win. Beating these maggots after signing up Timmy and Colo would make this a wonderful footballing weekend, needs to happen!!
