Winning a cup in the short term. Swansea fans must had hated that.

A season ticket holder saw Newcastle win 33% more games than a Swansea season ticket holder last year. But I know facts tend to cloud the issue so I apologise for mentioning it. Do season ticket holders only watch home games like? Which one do you think enjoyed the season more? Swansea finishing ahead of Newcastle under any circumstances is an utter disgrace. I'm a season ticket holder who went to every game (24, 25?) and only enjoyed two. The stuff we serve up is utterly miserable. You have a very strange attitude to the game. I'm the same. Every home game for 10 year. And loads more in the 10 years prior. The football now is on the whole not as disappointing as that under Allardyce, Roeder, Souness, Kinnear or Shearer. This man is easily pleased. No wonder he is happy face. We are now better than those on that list. Amazing stuff.

voice of reason

what? they kept the same squad?

He had a pop in May that the Europa league was no excuse for dwindling league form. But Laudrup did no better at Getafe. UEFA quarter finals and 14th. It was their worst finish sinnce being promoted back to the Primera Liga. Having not failed to finish top half for years previous. He had similar problems in a relegation battle at Mallorca in his one season there. Finished 1 point clear of relegation with a club who finished 5th the year before he arrived and 8th the next year without him. Happy face peddling the same shyte again about Laudrup. Don't let bankruptcy, administration, mass exodus of players get in the way of statistics. Did that happen at Getafe too, like? You'll have to excuse me, I genuinely don't know, as I have a girlfriend. He did well at Getefe. Bless your girlfirend.

Imagine Pardew in charge of Mallorca during that period

Because i don't cut off my nose to spite my face. You need to think decisions like that through to their logical conclusion. Would his replacement be an improvement? Would he get money to spend? Would he handle Ben Arfa as well? Would he handle the Kinnear situation as well? etc. this is the best you can do? Don't replace Pardew because we got nut cases like HBA and JFK. That is logical.

Having seen Swansea this season, playing some of the best football I've watched in the premier I think I'd take my chances. But it's a good insight into your thinking and I'm definitely quite happy to be in the opposite camp. Let's revisit this thread at Christmas and see who was right. I don't care how many competitions Swansea will be involved in, to consider they will actually do equally as bad as we did last season or worse would be absurd. Cannot comprehend.

I wonder why happy face spends so much time defending Pardew? For someone that claims he doesn't like him and think he should had been sacked. Very odd.

I thought he couldn't get a job until his case for unfair dismissal is done? Thats not going to take long is it? he can always withdraw the case and take on a premiership job.

love it when Man utd getting beat always joyful. better not come back 2nd half them weasels.

tackles!

looked like 4-1-5 at times.

We resorted to just clipping long balls from half way-ish up the pitch from about 75 minutes onwards. Once he went 4-4-2 we just hoofed, not that we played that much better 4-3-3 but it was still better. come on Bimpy i know you like to beat Pardew with the hoof stick and so do i , but we havent played hoof ball for a while, We simply don't play anything. There is a distinct lack of control in our play. When we came in 1st half with a lead, i couldnt help thinking what just happened. Throughout the 1st half, both sissoko and cabaye bombed forward when we already had 3 men up there already. All was left in the midfield was one diddy man Anita. Even he was going forward at times.

ok lads back to 4 days a week on working on stopping the opposition.

Sounds like he has been involuntarily enrolled into the same media classes as Pardew.

really? Played like absolutely shite vs City. Turd again vs Hammers, woeful again vs Fulham until the last half hour. Play well vs Villa. That's one and half good games. Way too soon to say a full pre-season of a settled squad proves anything. Better off than last season you say. Can it get much worse?

Might as well say there's no long term future in the team because one guy with curly hair is nearly 32. Quit your waffling man.

Didn't need to, i heard it was part of his contract agreement to have that number. Didn't he also had a clause in his contract that will make him always amongst the highest paid player at the club, so like when a new player comes in on 105K a week. Shearer gets a pay rise. I loved the player but he sure did have some outrageous demands.

top top player, but err didn't Shearer nick his shirt number when he signed for us. Shearer was like, " err yeh Les i know you been banging them in but that number 9 shirt is mine" Very harsh.

He would had resigned sooner or later having to deal with players like that pushed towards him.

Right. As has been said, as good as they are in certain circumstances there's no real long-term future in a Colo-MYM partnership.

Agree with this. Form is temporary and class is permanent. Unless your name is Torres
