Just watched highlights of the Man U game from last season - Tiote was on fire that night. Reminded me of how good a player he can be. No way do I want him to leave.

I was, my manager call Montanier for us Shame he's off to Rennes Didn't realise Rennes had such a wealthy owner, François-Henri Pinault is meant to be worth $15billion. Sounds like the club have everything in place to challenge PSG. Now I understand why he went.

Amazing game..pure 110% attacking football from Sociedad . Great to watch.

Sadly he 's wasted under Pardew. We'll never see the best of him whilst he's still manager.

He'll not be sold. Pardew can't bare to leave him out the first 11 never mind the squad.

He's at Monaco? Just when I thought I couldnt dislike him any more.

Well really need Pierre-Emerick AUBAMEYANG and Bony. Can't believe a club like Swansea would have more pull but they've Europe and Laudrup.

His teams play nice football as well. He's a good manager.

I hate to admit it but thought Williamson looked better when he came in for QPR game.

So depressed that this man is still in charge. Our only hope is he adds some tactical genius to his coaching staff otherwise it'll be more of the same. As I'm not convinced he thinks he's at all to blame.

Was harsh on Dortmund today...have really enjoyed following them in this Champions League campaign. Play nice free flowing attacking football. Something we can only dream of.

Aye and he's shown his class for like 1 season in his entire career. Not true - was class at Zenit. Played well at Arsenal bar the last couple of seasons but they never played in him preferred position. Given the chance he'd find his form.

Arshavin free transfer anyone? I'd have him - class is permanent.

I'd say the only time we were in a worse position was the season we were actually relegated. I was quite chipper that pre-season tbh. I was being very literal, but at least there were some reasons to be positive that summer. Pardew still being in charge just makes it feel as if we've dodged the bullet this year and then went back to the shooter to give them a full AK47 to try again. I know, I just don't agree to the epic-wrist slit nature of most others. *Pardew out disclaimer* We're at best a 8th place team, if we come there next season I'll happy. It's the attitude towards cups I have a problem with. It comes from having the best squad of players since Sir Bob, and having a manager who practically has them mowing the lawn. Our squad is a top 6 team...you can't tell me Everton/swansea/west brom have a better one. What they have is a better manager.

I'm all for long term stability but for you to achieve anything you still need a good manager at the helm. Man Utd didnt win 38 trophys under Sir Alex 'just' because they stuck with him. They won them mostly because he was a world class manager. Alan Pardew isnt suddenly going to become the tactical wizard that we need him to be. He has been a Manager for 14 years now, so he's pretty much developed as far as he is ever going to. Even if we'd not signed one player all Summer I wouldn't have minded so long as they'd shown Pardew the door. The fact that they haven't just shows how little ambition they owners have for the club. All so very depressing.

Interesting. Cheers.

Cancelled mine today and they just stop all future payments. Don't you have to cancel Jan prior?

No money no Collo - simples.

Start of season - the club were spouting the ambition 'Champions League'.........in a year that's reduced to top 10. With the players we've got we should at least be pushing for top 6th - 7th. All we are missing is a competent manager. If I was Cabaye/Ben Arfa - I'd be off. The owner has no ambition what so ever - so long as TV money is coming in he's happy.

Injured again...pass

Now that's a scary sight lol

Rafa

Ha.....that could only happen to use.
