    No, we're not Chelsea. I won't be sad the see the back of Pardew, although if/when it happens his replacement needs to be an inspiring choice (i.e no Martin Jols). Change of manager alone definitely won't have us threatening the top 6 again though. Far too many of these players are mediocre, cowardly, or a minging combination of both. Agreed. We've actually got a legitimate reason to make them.
  2. There's an onus on him, in the position he played today, to dictate a tempo and start attacks. That doesn't mean he has to become Xabi Alonso - and he can still do this "keeping it simple" - but there has to be a speed and a positive direction to his play. Loads of useless possession in our half with no penetration because we give the opposition huge amounts of time to get a good defensive shape. I do agree but that doesn't mean he was bad, no one said he was outstanding or anything just he did his job and he did for the most part. A lot of the things being said about him that he was rash, taking chances and not tracking the midfield is bullocks. He did all of the opposite today, because some have large ego's that they are not allowed to admit it doesn't mean it happened. I agree with the second part, but you said we "cannot complain really", which is not true.

  4. He has been fit for the vast majority of the season.

    Back to basics?

    Perch is shit, man. He shouldn't be anywhere near the team.
  7. Really? Pardew said he would only start full training again later this week.

    His NUFCtv interview:
  9. This morning's Douglas article in the Journal stinks of this. Aye. Always a bit odd when virtually every paper has the same transfer story, with presumably the same source.

  11. Mistake aside, he was OK. And this is the same player, remember, who was arguably our best player - admittedly it wasn't very difficult - earlier in the season. I just hope, given that he's previously had confidence issues, the fans, players and management give him the support he needs to get over this, because I don't doubt that he has all the necessary attributes to be a very good fullback.

  13. Eh, why are people suddenly shitting themselves? Cos we're s***? At least playing s*** anyway. Not at home we're not and Fulham are not as good away either.... plus its f*cking QPR We were pretty shit against Stoke, like.

    Some of us did, because we knew that if it didnt change, this was coming. This, really. Even look at what were probably our two best home performances of last season - Man Utd, Stoke. Two drastically different and ultimately unsustainable performances. Yes, you have to have a degree of tactical flexibility, but without anything that vaguely resembles a coherent footballing identity you will not have sustained success.
  15. He's only started 8 games in the Premier Legaue, in fairness. And he still has double the assists of anyone else on our team.
