Quite like that.

Rafa would join if it was on his terms, which sadly is the problem. Ashley no where near as ambitious. All he gives a fuck about is staying in the PL.

That's still overlooking how utterly dreadful we played those games though. At home with the players we have we should be creating chances, don't care who we're playing against. We played absolutely shit them two matches, it was a complete embarrassment.

Rare for teams to dominate for 90 minutes, but it's also extremely rare to see teams completely alter their stance after half time, which we have persistently done. Patterns shift in games all the time but we make it so easy for the opposition. It's costing us points on a regular basis.

We create no where as many as we should though, that's undeniable.

He looks finished to me.

After the Arsenal game.

His post match interview is very strange. He looks like he knows his fate imo.

Better 2nd half from him.

Superb. 2 assists.

wank start.

Had similar nerves about this like I do derby games. Just get out there and get it done you bone idle t***s.

Might be a positive thinking about it. They'll go to Arsenal delirious and hopefully living of that result, which might cost them.

As Wigan could only climb above Villa.

I thought this at first but I still don't see any real reason for him to bring it out so publicly in a press conference. All this honour and privileged guff from Pardew smacks of someone grovelling to his boss but not to his face. The writing is clearly on the wall for Pardew, just a case of when not if.

Have to say I think things will turn really badly for Pardew if his team and tactics fuck it up on sunday - at probably the worst possible time.

His crossing is better than Simpsons, it just is. Fair enough he hasn't regularly provided outstanding delivery but he can cross a decent ball. However we simply never have anyone in the box barring one man so anyone could be crossing in it would not matter, another embarrassing aspect of our attacking play.

I just wish Debuchy would show it because he hasn't yet. I think he's done fine apart from the two heavy home defeats, when admittedly he looked a little off the pace. Was very good v Chelsea and our best player v Southampton. Part of the issue, the pressure on him to perform straightaway in that mess of defence.

ok then terrible.

Not having it tbh, unless Ashley's football logic is so bad he didnt envisage one bad season in the 8 year duration.

It's late.

Ah.. i'm a fool. My point about him being a cock is still valid though.

Jolly fun all of this.

Just beat QPR - we're not getting one bit of help off the other teams at the moment. 3 on the trot that have gone against us and it could soon be 4.

He's there blaming the fighting incident on the club. 'Typical of that club' He's a cock. it didn't work here for him and he's immensely bitter about it. The timing of this should be of no surprise either - when were in the shit, it a way so it looks as if he's proving his point. Not a squeak out of any of them when we were doing well.
