Excellent post Dave. I pretty much agree with all of it. On a statistical basis he hasn't done a bad job it's just the matter of all the things which are important to the fans he's done poorly at.

Willo has done a good job but we can't get away from the fact he's awful with the ball at his feet. We need a centre half who organise and defend as well as Willo but not panic everytime the ball is passed to him

So you're basing your opinion of a player on a sequence of games in a position not suited to him, rather than when he's in his natural position? Nice logic. No I'm basing this on his limitations which are limited passing range and poor shooting from distance. Personally I want Tiote to sit in front of the defence not go forward and lay the ball of when has it

People clearly forgetting when Tiote tried to fill Cabayes shoes. He's an average football player

We were pressing well and defending much higher up the pitch prior to scoring

Play Shit and blame it on Yanga?

Only explanation or over the moon that we now have 40 points and not getting relegated and therefore thought f*** it I will play my weaker players

Fair play, looking forward to this now

I have enthusiasm until I see Cisse instead of De Jong on the team sheet. Cisse right wing after 20 minutes

Spot on and you have to wonder if he is actually mentally disturbed. This observation should sound alarm bells, It's Baffling logic from the fuckup t***. The annoying thing is it won't be mentioned anywhere in the media. If we lose today it'd be blamed on the lack of Colo

Gotta love Pards complain you need a striker all season whilst not playing Cisse. Get a striker in as you requested then play the guy who you didn't play in the first place

Aye Taylor without a doubt. Pardew has a ready made excuse now. And once again not one journalist will call out his decision to play 2 strikers who want to play on the shoulder of the last man and occupy the same space

Great work happy face. It's good to see the debt myth smashed to pieces as well

Wow, Cisse gets to play again despite De Jong linking up much better with remy. You can't make this shit up

A knock with zero details provided lol

It's impossible to have any sort of cup run and maintain a decent league position according to? Pardew. Never heard such nonsense before

It's a crap article as it fails to mention the fact that he's getting the space for free without reducing the debt Which is the fundamental issue at hand here, he is leveraging the debt against the free advertising. In effect he's using this "interest free loan" against the club

Fixed

Think how many cheap British players we could have bought with that

But if the advertising is free, and the club still makes a profit, couldn't he also take debt repayments out? TBF, I genuinely don't understand the 'we need debt in the structure' comment. my only clue is to keep the asking price around the £200m mark besides even if he took £10m out of the club a year its still the best part of 13 years before its paid back and we all know he's not going to write it off. He's already benefitted from how many years of this free commercial space. It's funny how when the boot is on the other foot and we want to leverage his sports direct assets we have to pay the market rate. The man is a fucking leach

Wish the papers would have turned on Pardew like this

If we keep giving him free advertising space yet the debt doesn't do down its a win win for him. It's akin to only ever paying the interest on a loan

It matters if the reason the loans are interest free is because it's some tax dodgeing way of benefiting from the advertising space. If some unrelated company offered Ashley considerably more than any potential interest he might charge then he'd take it. No? I'd be surprised if we haven't had any viable offers for that space tbh

Even the board stick the boot in on the players. Pardew ain't going anywhere absolved of any blame there like

Exactly look at the amount of space they receive from ourselves. It's the sports direct arena in everything but name
