That's his resignation, right there. If he set it up as 3-5-2 with Sissoko, Anita n Tiote as mid 3 with Gouff and Shola up front I may have some respect for the c*** going for it. But we will pack the midfield and Defence with Shola left isolated When have we ever gone for it under Pardew? Never, he's a bottler. I would honestly respect him if we had the horrific run but attacked and had a go every game. If he is here next season and allowed to buy players I genuinely fear for us I could never respect him he's a double speaking lying cunt.

Aka putting feet up for world cup.

So much anguish, Hatem and Marv once again don't appear to exist. Christ he's the enemy of creativity.

This is exactly the sort of match to blood the youngsters. Aye he said youngsters shouldn't be blooded In these sort of games a few weeks ago.

I bet Gozza starts

British managers always stick up for each other sadly. Brendan is really thinking 6 points next season with Pardle in charge

Remy needs to keep himself for the worldcup . His form has dropped off considerably from the first half of the season as well

Too bad he doesn't have the ability to lace Cabaye's boots Absolutely agree, just think that is where he would be used - our chances of getting another player with Cabaye's ability under the current setup are close to zero imo. Yup, I've said it a few times but I believe things are only going to regress further next season.

No chance of Tiote being dropped I don't think Delph really offers much more. Eh? They're different sort of centre-mids for a start. Tiote, useful as he can be at times, has next to nowt to his game. Delph gets forward really well and is capable of getting a few goals. 3 premier league goals in his career suggests otherwise. My point being Delph and Tiote in a 442 isn't going to be anything other than an average central midfield two. Throw Anita in and make it a 3 and it doesn't really make it much better imo

still part of his sports direct group. Yup him buying rangers would have zero affect on us, especially as we have no intentions of trying to get into any European competition.

Delph or Weimann aren't going to take us further forward IMO. I wouldn't describe Delph as an upgrade on Anita or Tiote and given our limited budget I'd rather not see us overpay for a squad player. Weimann hasn't really pushed on and again I'm not sure he's that much better than what we have or capable of getting

I do think we are stuck with Pardew personally however I'm taking these media reports with a huge pinch of salt. It's these same journalists that complain mike Ashley doesn't speak that suddenly have sources close to him. Either way we will know more in a week or two

A club that will pay him more, give him a chance to play in the champions league and show some ambition? I can't think why a player wouldn't want to sign for them like.

Yes he has come out with the whole next season the football will be better bullshit. The amount of double speak that comes from his mouth is a joke, after we sold Cabaye we were going back to basics as we didn't possess the players to play on the deck

Disagree, IMO he's better with a proper DM where his job is to keep the ball moving. A bit like Lucas and Allen at Liverpool. He's too weak physically for any other role for me like. Also distributing the ball is a big part of the role I mentioned originally

He's a good little player but for me he's only viable in a 433 playing as the deepest player in midfield covering the fullbacks and the space in front of the defence.

What's made you come to that conclusion? The meeting with Ashley, the arguments with pards, then sudden change of heart. And just a hunch really Can't see it myself like, I think we are stuck with Pardew regardless. As far as the board is concerned he's hit target and earnt himself a nice bonus. In fact his case is stronger for even more oversight in their eyes

What's made you come to that conclusion?

No different to Pardew's to be fair. At least his make it past the half way line every now and again.

Even have a Tifosi

Playing next to Ben Turner would make any CB look poor. Makes Williamson look like the second coming of Baresi.
