This. A thousand times this.

 

It's so fucking easy to just say "Mike Ashley you bastard, get out of our club" instead of the fat cockney shit and thus not fucking feeding the media the Geordie "WE HAyTe DE NO-GOrrDIES AN FATtIs!" stereotype.

Did I watch a different game to the sky pundits I thought stoke were terrible

 

Stoke looked like a team of cloggers trying to play passing football. But they still did a better job of it than us. They'll do well to stay clear of the relegation spots based on that evidence.

It's been said before but the standard of punditry in England is shocking. There is so little actual opinion that's expressed it's stunning. There is not a normal human being who would look at the job Alan Pardew has done with this team - even if you exclude the atrocious man-management and suicidal decisions regarding Yanga-Mbiwa and Ben Arfa - and conclude that he deserves to keep his job. The only ones who could come to that idiotic conclusion are in the media.

 

At no other job could you be as shit as him for as long as him and not only keep your job, but also be praised for "bravery" amid rightful protests. It's so dumb.

It really is terrible.  Keys and Gray might be dickheads for other reasons, but at least they've been voicing what they thought.  Sky and BBC have been neutered to the point of just expressing half baked opinions to avoid upsetting anyone in a job or on the pitch. I was pleasantly surprised to see the guys on Soccer Saturday at last admit he wasn't doing such a good job.  It's taken them a few years, but they've finally worked up to at least that much.  It seems like these days you can't just say someone is doing a bad job, even if they're losing every game.
