Guest ElCid Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Looking at the seating plan looks like there is not that many seats available - am I looking at it correctly as I was expecting a sub 44,000 crowd tomorrow? If I am right and we get anywhere near a 50,000 crowd then that is truly unreal support when you think of the crap over the last 2 months and the shambles of the transfer window so far.

Shak Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Glad to see Marveaux get a start, hope he makes the most of it. Anita and Sissoko in a 4-4-2 might work and all. Would be a decent team if we had someone who isn't completely shit in there in Shola's place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 f***ing Shola, man. Isn't it f***ing danceworthy that we didn't sign Bent. I'm more pissed off that Shola could be starting over Gouffran than that tbh. We are not going to out do West Ham with brawn, but we should with brain. Why can't Pardew understand this? the team would be perfect if it was Gouffran instead of Shola. Pardew always has to find a way to f*ck things up, presuming its the team of course.

midds Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Shola's been the last resort for a while now. The substitute you throw on for 15 minutes if you're chasing a goal and everything else hasn't worked. Not got a problem with him coming off the bench purely as a last resort when you've got nothing to lose but to start him, bearing in mind he can't play for more than 20 minutes, is brutal. It's 2013 and after 1 game we're resorting to starting Shola in a Premier League fixture. This is the best we can do folks, he's fucking wank and we're unwilling to invest in better. It fucking stinks, man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JToon7 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 If you look at it through Pardew's ultra negative glasses, his reasoning for starting shola probably has something to do with mighty West Ham's 'Fret' from set pieces more than his contribution (or lack of one) in attack. We can't really expect to win against the great West Ham at home, we have to be on our guard and stay in the game etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayson Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Marveaux! Be nice to see a winger who can cross & run at players, create and stuff. Please please please make the most of it.

Mick Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 My eyes will bleed if Shola and Tiote start over Gouffran and Anita, if they do and we lose then our manager will deserve all the shit he gets. Sir Bobby's statue will have more movement than Shola. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Pardew thinks the sun shines out of Shola's arse, so he'll definitely be featuring at some stage. Probably on at half time for Ben Arfa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

maybe_next_year Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Least excited I've been in over a decade of having a season ticket for the first game of the season. expecting a boring game filled with little quality, 2-1 loss, might scrape a 1-1 draw.

Disco Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Anyone else think the atmosphere will be dogshit tomorrow? Especially considering the last few home performances. Imagine if we concede early. Always is for home games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
plenum Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 People should fucking be up for it!! First home game of the season!

alexthegreat Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 If that is the team then the back 4 and midfield should be able to play some decent football. Hopefully the forwards can exceed my expectations and produce a performance that is slightly better than abysmal. Think we could play some good football but be let down by a lack of leadership, leaky defending and poor finishing, predicting 1-2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
