That's the main issue for me, how Pardew approaches the game, if he bottles it or tries to steifel the game and defend a slender lead then we're gonna come unstuck. A fearless attacking display, which we're more than capable of and we'll see this with ease. I'm only nervous about Pardews mind set.

Not sure we'll be able to use this tactic given Yanga-Mbiwa is out for 5 games.

 

Optimistic. Last I heard, FIFA are reviewing the case. Could end up being a six month ban.

I'd really like to think we're not in a place where Chrystal fucking Palace can poach our manager like. Regardless of how much of a shithouse he is :lol:

 

If he went to Palace it would be because we want him gone without having to pay him any compensation.

Just days away from the derby and we've got people calling for our manager to resign, beyond belief this.

 

Surely the club captain could defend him....oh wait!

 

Nobody needs to defend anybody. Even without colo we have leaders in the dressing room who don't require Colo holding their hand telling them everything will be ok. He's injured, he's flew back to Argie, what's the big deal? Nobody was calling Ben Arfa when he spent months in Paris, players do sometimes go home when they injured, nothing new. People question his commitment for the cause but they weren't questioning that in the second half against Cardiff when he held us together and was excellent in getting us the 3 points required. Overall in his time here, he’s shown nothing but a first class attitude, yes his personal problems got in the way earlier this year but he’s come through that and knuckled down for us. No need to give him so much abuse.

He very publicly tried to engineer a move away from us in the midst of the worst run of form and injury crisis we've had for years. He only stayed and "knuckled down" because San Lorenzo couldn't afford him and it was clear we would have sued the shit out of him. He has been a great player for us on his day but the whole episode was unsavoury and I lost some time and respect for him, completely understandably.

I'm a bit of a traditionalist at heart,  and a club captain should be someone the rest of the squad look up to; will listen to and respect. Going back to Argentina prior to a game with our biggest local rivals, even whilst unfit to play, to me is fucking totally wrong and what's more Pardew wants shooting for allowing it.

Or the fact Jonas has went back for personal reasons, ever occurred Colo might be offering support with him in this difficult time? People do have lives outside of football and sometimes when put into perspective, the derby game isn't as important as offering his close friend support. Pardew may have found this totally acceptable as he is injured anyways so isn’t really in a position to massively affect the game on Sunday anyways and has allowed him to stay in Argie with Jonas.

surely we can't really make our minds up on the rights or wrongs behind colo's return to Argentina until we know the full circumstances. some things are more important than football, his job is more important than some other things.
