Go on Aarons. Seeing players run at other players and commit them has been such a fucking novelty during Pardews time here.

Where does De Jong fit into that? As Disco said we are now committed to playing a 4-4-1-1

Problem is he doesn't actually excel at anything. He's just very meh and middle of the road.

Signature worthy coming from you this.

I was just thinking the exact same thing. He was doing exactly the same thing on his debut he looks really pissed off with the lack of movement around him.

Janmaat man his body language is just one of disgust lol

I can't wait to see a central midfield pairing of Colback and Tiote this season.

Of course he is he's the sort of cunt who toes the party lines and misleads fans into thinking we've actually spent money this year.

Both Colback and Anita don't score or create having one ahead of the other is irrelevant as they pose little to no thread to the opposition.

What's with the rousing round of applause? It really will be Pardew give us a wave if we win a couple on the trot FFS

I think it's called being dutch as Janmaat did exactly the same in midweek. He looked totally pissed off when he didn't get the ball from willo when he decided to lump it instead

Massive creative burden on Cabella like. If he doesn't succeed we are totally fucked.

Pardew doesn't know any other way to tbh

wasn't expecting this to be broadcast at all so missed the first 30 mins. Lol at Sociedad hosting it and not us

Reims vs PSG about to start.

The classic deserves another chance as he guided us to a 5th place finish against all odds will no doubt be rolled out.

His position wasn't under threat at any point last season despite assaulting a player and making us suffer another season of turgid unwatchable football. In fact he was rewarded with a bonus

I'll believe that when I see it.

This sentence just goes to show how low our expectations are. I fully agree though, first 11 wise we are weaker than this time last year. You would be amazed how many fans dont think that. Its not that hard to remember the team with Debuchy/HBA/Cabaye/Remy getting 33 points by the turn of the year is it? We both know a lot of our fans are lead by the nose.

Any of them likely to hit 10 PL goals? Can't see it. Nada, not a chance

Guessing that they'll try to tie it in with flogging the second half as Xmas presents? Not that it matters anyway, won't be getting one for a while yet. Out of interest, what's ur criteria for going back, Pardew gone, Ashley gone? or Pardew gone a decent manager installed and Ashley showing more ambition? Haven't got one particularly. I'll certainly not even consider it whilst Pardew's there - that's out of the question. If Pardew goes I'll wait and see who's appointed and if it signals a change in ambition other than just surviving in mid-table obscurity for the foreseeable. Appointing a manager who wants to develop players and play a nice brand of football could also sway it?

Not sure Wolves are circling mate. unlike days of old the main problem with us and getting strikers to score on a consistent basis is lack of service and failure to play to the strikers strengths.

Looks accurate based on what I saw. Especially considering he can create chances for himself which is practically a must in our side.
