Chrisjraby Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Can't believe the West Ham game is only his 100th game in charge; feels like this despair has been going on for far, far longer! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Oh, and given the way Pardew has been touting Cabaye around on a seemingly daily basis, it would be logical to make alternative preparations based on there being a disruptive bid at any particular time. Is Sissoko genuinely the closest like for like swap? Because I'm unconvinced about that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 It was just an excuse from Pardew, Dave. Should know that by now - an attempt to deflect blame away from him and the players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Sissoko genuinely the closest like for like swap? Because I'm unconvinced about that. Pardew hasn't got a clue how to use sissoko. I mean there's being clueless about Tiote or Cabaye but when it comes to sissoko it's on another level. He's clearly a round peg square hole kind of problem for Pardew and why you've seen him put out wide or too far forward. It'll take a total system change to get the best out of sissoko and even with Cabaye gone that still isn't going to happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 If Cabaye goes we need a Song like defensive midfielder imo, with Marveaux ahead making things happen and Sissoko running about the midfield doing whatever the fuck it is he does. I thought a Sissoko, Cabaye & Anita midfield would be pretty vulnerable so I reckon a Sissoko, Marveaux & Anita midfield would be victimised in every single game. In reality Pardew will be erect at the thought of being able to start Jonas every game of the season again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, he's been trying to offload him for months now, it's an excuse from Pardew that again is bordering on ridiculous to us but the outside press will lap it up.

Dokko Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 At this point could anyone genuinely say that Kinnear would be worse? It can't get much worse than the shit pardew is delivering There'd be a less defeatist attitude from JFK. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Yeah, the sweet 24 hours before the 'Kinnear appointed' news. Get rid of AP now, JK in December, then half a season to stay up and convince HBA, Krul and remaining purples to stay in the summer/build a cohesive team ready to compete for 2014/15.

Me too. - For all his lies/mispronunciations/catatonic binge drinking, he's still more honest than Pardew - Less annoying - More entertaining as a character - More confident/ambitious - Remote possibility of a honeymoon period - Awarded manager of the year twice more than Pardew - Players might not hate him yet - One step closer to the next manager not being Joe Kinnear Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Im still not giving up that Poyet is in waiting but there's a sense of inevitability over JFK bring manager as there was shearer, and like shearer (for different reaseson mind) maybe we just have to get it out of the way before we move on.

Guest icemanblue Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I can't understand why anyone would actually want Joe Kinnear as our manager. In the midst of the current doom and gloom, I assume it must appear to be a better option, simply by virtue of being different. It'd be no better, at all.
