We had nothing man. Teams with poorer players than us play some actual attacking football. Like who? We've got nothing breaking from midfield, nothing running in beyond Cisse, nowt out wide whatsoever. We've got a horrible lack of delivery and penetration in the players between Cisse and the defence. It's farcical, absolutely farcical. I'm fairly sure they wouldn't be playing like that if they'd not all been told to sit in front of the back four. That's all those players know, to be honest. We've seen numerous games this season where Anita has shown ability to link midfield and attack. It may not be his natural position but we've seen he has the ability to do it. So why, when Perch is playing alongside him, wasn't he allowed or instructed to do so?

He's come over from the French second division. He won't be anything close to being physically ready. Most youngsters we bring in will be exactly the same. Look at Abeid. I'm fairly sure he's twice as bulky now as he was when he joined.

Ten kids for the development squad is it not? To boost up the second level of players? 1991-1993 would make them 21-19. Not really development kids. I'd say that's exactly the sort of age you'd want playing in the development squad/under 21s At 21 you should be ready for first team football. In the Premier League? Not necessarily. Foreign kids at 19 years old will definitely be brought in as development squad players. Amalfitano is 23.

Out of the outfield players I'd probably give it to HBA, like. He's the only one who often seems pissed off at what's going on around him and being captain might actually make him get hold of our players and tell them to stop being shit. He's a bit crazy. http://img.thesun.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01413/benarda_13_280x390_1413962a.jpg

It'll go back up with Cabaye in the team though

He's cool as fuck. Fast becoming my favourite current toon player. I like the honesty in saying that he wasn't happy about not getting games and that he'd have had to leave if he didn't start getting in the team.

And yet our biggest problems still lie in other areas of the field

So he'll join if we aren't relegated then.

Yes, but you're ignoring the fact that Taylor spends at least half a season in the treatment room.

I'm unemployed and taking a year out of uni. I have literally no idea what to do with myself today.

I voted Krul, but this is what's going to happen if Pardew takes the normal action of promoting vice-captain.

Tim Krul

Pure and simple. First single I ever bought Fucking hell mate. It was 2001. I was 8 or 9 years old . edit: In fact, it remains the only single I've ever bought

Another contribution to the theory that Pardew's completely losing the dressing room.

I'd rather Marveaux wasn't out wide. Even if it means Jonás being there.

Hopefully it's for another one of their players instead. Who's Francois Piraux?

In all fairness, Williamson's bizarrely good in a one on one situation. It's when the ball's in the air he turns to shite.

Everyone's taking the piss out of QPR

Pardew is retarded. Who knew?

Still think it's worth giving a fully fit HBA a try as a #10 at some point. Even if it's just in Europe or something. Cabaye's best form for us has come there though, so I'd be happy if that's how we ended up.

That's not even a slight dig. 'Simpson is shite, this guy's better' essentially.

How many crosses has Shola been putting in to get a figure like 42%?
