ElDiablo Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Anyone seriously worried about relegation? We almost got relegated last season, let go of some squad cover, added ZERO players, except for Remy on loan. I don't see how this season can magically improve with the team we currently have. Or the manager and set up we currently have. Fuck's sake. Just when you thought MA couldn't get any worse, we get this transfer window. Yes, anyone that isn't is a fool, tbh.

Revolution Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 We're going down with this squad and management, no doubt about it for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 We're going down with this squad and management, no doubt about it for me. Don't think we will, mainly because the teams that have come up are even worse than the ones who went down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elephant Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I'm stil convinced that likes of Crystal Palace, Hull and Cardiff have so awful sides, that with these players, we are destined not to be relegated - not because we're good, but because we are just not that bad. Premiership should be 18 teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parky Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 It's interesting watching decent players arrive and then over a period of time go straight downhill....All have one things in common. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themanupstairs Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 There is absolutely no fight, no organization, and not a shred of intelligence about our play. If that's what "the lads are ready" means, then jah help us. Pardew GTFO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Crooks Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 It's interesting watching decent players arrive and then over a period of time go straight downhill....All have one things in common. Sissokho is the starkest contrast...that debut game when he 'rapes' (PardewTM) Ashley Cole and looks as if he's been given the opportunity to show what he can do. Few months on and he's another in the long list of static drones that'll get brought off if he shows too an advanced tendency (a la Gouffran).

Incognito Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Pardew has certainly lost the dressing room and in that respect even JFK would be an improvement. Although I'm not sure if he wouldn't be any respect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chopey Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Pardew has to go, he has lost his appetite for the game and is just going through the motions. We have some great players but need someone to motivate them, if Pardew is still in charge come November we will be relagated Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Pardew has certainly lost the dressing room and in that respect even JFK would be an improvement. Although I'm not sure if he wouldn't be any respect. This was clear to see at 0-3 and 0-6 imo. What was particularly alarming last night wasn't the performance, we knew what that would be like, but the displays of petulance in the first half. Cisse, Yanga-Mbiwa, Sissoko, Debuchy and Taylor were all at it. We're one game into the new season and we've got a seriously disgruntled group of players. I'm worried.

Although I'm not sure if he wouldn't be any respect. How long would arsehole have the dressing room for though. Last time he was here two players forced their way our in January and the Liverpool home game was as bad as last night. I can't see a way forward while Ashley is here. Poyet is probably our only hope. Not because he's a great manager or anything, but because he's better than what we have. So depressing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heake Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 As galling as it was to tolerate the spineless farrago that counted for our "performance" last night, It was Partridges patronising dribble that I found the most insulting. When you`ve seen something first hand, analysed it & concluded from the evidence you`ve been presented with, to be offered a version, totally at odds to what your eyes have seen as an excuse for his shortcoming's, well, its the language of Cameron, Hague, Milliband & countless other political cocks that feel we deserve no more than utter contempt. He clearly feels we deserve no more than that. I have given up what little sympathy I had for his position now & just wish he would walk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incognito Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Wasn't the plan to write this one off and start our season next week? It was the gutless manner of the performance . Sooner or later the manager must be culpable for these horrendous performances that are becoming far too regular. The tossers above him and also the players are also responsible but obviously the buck stops with the manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always expected us to lose, but not to look on par with (or maybe worse) than we did over the spring. That's the exact same team, with the exact same mentality and belief that lost to the mackems and 6-0 to Liverpool. Nothing has changed. We can't attack, we can't defend, we can't move, we can't score, we can't fight. We're heading one way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I agree with his comment that we looked OK before the sending off but threatening the goal was a load of bullshit. I thought it looked like the same old, we have some comfortable footballers in possession and therefore had some nice interchanges but we lack balance and cutting edge in the final 3rd.
