Iirc ronaldo posted last week saying people ask Pardew for autographs and photos when he's in town

Love that consistent refereeing like. The ball wasn't even there to be won

Its not working very well either. Monreal is in acres of space every time arsenal have the ball

Work on stopping the opposition Yet we are the shittest in the league at stopping the opposition we are so s***. It's mind blowing isn't it? Defensive manager who can't even keep it tight

Watching Martinez speak is chalk and cheese compared to Pardew. Really depressing considering they don't have a penny to scratch their ass with

Work on stopping the opposition

Krul will be class IMO. Bare in mind he's lack any sort of coaching for years and he's told to lump it forward every time he has it

I'm not advocating we buy any of these players just to be clear but I think they are preferable to Cisse; Carroll, Benteke, Long, Jelavic, Lambert, Rodriguez etc. We will probly end up having to keep him due to how poorly our club is ran But all things being equal I don't personally I don't feel he has the required attributes to take us forward This argument about "can't create anything for himself" is just irksome. Surely you would want a well-functioning TEAM effort to get the service to the striker(s) whomever they may be. If Cisse was slightly capable of creating something for himself, and scored one or two goals in the last few games, it would just paper over massive gaping cracks (Loic Remy does, and we're still a s*** team with him on the pitch). The pont is simple he can't do a lot of things. He can't hold it up well He can't run in behind He can't link play well Its not about him creating chances for himself its about fitting in to a overall structure. Tactically if you select Cisse you are limiting yourself as you have to make him the focal point of the team and IMO he's not good enough to fill this roll. Cisse in our current shambolic set up doesn't do any of the above things you mention. That is true. But even if he could, it would paper over some massive gaping cracks. Couldn't agree more it would as Remy and Cabaye have done already this season

He's clearly stopped giving a toss, was stood back on his heels watching the play in front of him quite a bit yesterday. Probably had enough of filling in as a wing back. Yup he's clearly not a winger who can function in a 4-4-2 . He's a wide forward at a pinch but really he's a striker the fact he's asked to be an auxiliary wing back is a fucking joke

What? Exactly what I wrote. He's only good enough for a team fighting relegation Even if we keep Remy and bring in another, which isn't going to happen, we still need other strikers on out books. And no matter which way anyone wants to paint it Cisse isn't a horrific forward, not by any stretch of the imagination. We need a new manager and we need some new additions to the squad, we don't need to be getting rid of our 2nd best striker, 3rd perhaps if including Gouffran, although that one is obviously highly debatable. "He's only good enough for a team fighting relegation" is something I'd expect to hear an East Anglian born Barcelona fan to say in a snooker club, it just shows a complete lack of understanding. Which lack of understanding is that? He's a poacher who can't create anything for himself he's weak as piss and also lacks pace. When he isn't scoring he isn't contributing hence why he isn't good enough to play for us.

What? Exactly what I wrote. He's only good enough for a team fighting relegation He looked quite handy the year we finished fifth, like. And hasn't look anything like that since. We all watch him and his limitations are pretty clear no?

Cisse isn't good enough to take us any higher than we currently are. He operates solely in the penalty area and misses too many chances to be viable for us

We don't have the Manchester United Pull though. We aren't going to attract that many tourists fans are we?

Or perhaps that's really just his point of view? This arrogant rubbish is the exact reason why this thread is so crap. And telling people that their opinions against someone are irrational or mental isn't arrogant? This thread is crap because people are still trying to bring a reasonable defence to the table for Pardew despite there being none, and people like you coming in all chilled like "It's just his opinion, man" Fair enough, this is my opinion, I reckon it's f***ing rubbish, and people who are sick to their back teeth of the bloke managing us are obviously going to find it pretty antagonising. Eh? When I say the hatred is mental I'm not responding to normal, or even quite extreme, criticism of Pardew. There are many posts that go way beyond that and it honestly comes across as borderline psychotic. The club means a lot to people Ian for Pardew and Ashley to treat it with such disdain causes a lot of vitriol. I don't understand how you can be offended by posts on here when Alan belittles the club and the supporter base as well as the north east on a weekly basis The club means a lot to me as well. I'm not offended by anything, I just think a lot of it is over the top. Not that my opinion on that matters, just saying. So what do you advocate then Ian? Are you happy to continue on the current path or do you feel change is needed? If you feel change is needed what action/actions need to be taken? I would love Pardew to be sacked and replaced with a good manager, but that's kind of obvious. My main worry is what comes after the sacking. Saying that, we're getting close to the point where he should be sacked anyway. 'Change' in the abstract isn't something I'm comfortable supporting, I need to think about the detail. I understand people who want to not go to games, I just don't think they should take moral high ground over fans that still want to go. That's also because I believe they don't have any power to change things. Not sure what to say to satisfy people, I've explained my views many times, as much as anyone else on here. Fair play, I think a lot of stick you get is based around you appearing to defend a lot of the decisions Pardew makes. We have no idea what the fans can or can't do because we haven't tried to do anything It would be good if we could be united and try to make a change as a collective.

I'm waiting for his old favourite line; Judge us after 10 games next season

We've already debunked his bullshit rumours to be fair. Those who can't accept he's a shit manager should be ignored at this point tbf

Is he on every week or something? I try go get on every week (am part of the fans forum and a regular) Great call mate. I hope you questioning the BBC's stance doesn't result in you being banned.

Is he on every week or something? I'm not sure but I'm grateful when he does as he makes a lot of good points unlike some of the other callers.

BG on total sport now.

Not a chance. JFK wouldn't put up with this level of effort. You know new lows have been reached when people man an argument for JFK
