With the money we save on his contract we can give Jonas an extension. More graft needed lads

Sell marv as well Alan and leave us with Sammy as our most creative player

Would we be happy to see a season ending injury? OR do we still love him? Personally I still love him. You can't claim to have any sort of footballing ambition and stay with us sadly

Starts for PSG tonight

We need a coach or 2. Come and join us rene

We have no creativity but at the same time we lack work rate and grit. Defies belief. Pardew does have a habit of either playing the wrong system or playing the right system in a manner which destabilises the team. I think he has a poor fundamental understanding of tactics to be honest, one of the things which always staggers me is the amount of time/space the opposition gets to play in front of our defence which is in part down to our awful pressing. We rarely press as a team, we often have sporadic instances of pressing from say Tiote which looks good to the average fan but in reality it creates space for the opposition to play in. We either need to have the entire team closing down and getting tight and pushing up or do the opposite and drop off and retain our shape, at present we do neither. All this from a coach who is seemingly defensive minded

Absolutely agree with that, but it's not exactly making me feel good about him picking a quality manager. I'm not feeling confident either however I'd roll the dice and take the risk rather than stick with the waste of space we currently have.

People on here have a remarkable knack of knowing Ashley inside out incase you haven't noticed. Didn't you see them all giving us the heads up about JFK being given the push Does that reassure you that Ashley will make a good decision? No, It tells us we don't have a clue what Ashley will do because he's a bit of a recluse and shows no accountability.

The truth is somewhere in the middle. Bretts disregard for negative criticism of pardew is astonishing

Absolutely spot on. No we defend so deep our midfield has to much ground to cover so in not suprised that towards the end of the game after we have taken another hiding they ain't rushing to get forward

I'm sure moussa asked to be captain... I'm really trying not to judge any of our players under the confidence sucker that is Pardew

Remy. I'd use him before Shola though. This, playing this guy before De Jong and Remy is foolish.

How could I forget! that promised land also known as stability

People will swallow the whole Cabaye thing as well. Selling 1 player shouldn't equal capitulation regardless of how good that player is.

He's crap and doesn't have the attributes to do the job.

All of whom should be banned.

We didn't score a goal due to our poor finishing.

They will but they don't cover themselves in glory either. Definitely, but it's hard to do much of anything with the gaping vacuum of the current management. Couldn't agree more mate. Pardew is totally out of depth to be honest

They will but they don't cover themselves in glory either.

Pardew run down the tunnel like the coward you are

Doesn't matter if he does. Hes not strong or quick enough for this league

Lots of people wanted to give Cisse a go though

Alan Pardew s black and white army

What formation against Villa then? Shall we start the sweepstake now?
