If it makes you feel any better, I ignored the injury symbol next to Diego Costa and re-installed him as my captain today. ;DQuote:

Maybe not the greatest, but also far from not taking them seriously imho.
First three cup runs saw us lose to top premier league teams when we were still a championship side.
Alan Pardew would not be my first or even 2nd choice. But would have him over Allardyce each and every single times.
Yes there was some hoofing to his game, more so in the championship than the top flight. But he knew how to mix it up and the football was more entertaining with a play to win attitude than it was poor football.

Citeh losing at home to Stoke. Who in turn lose at home to Leicester.
Scousers losing at home to Villa who are unbeaten so far.
Arsenal the king of the draws.
Everton spending big (for them) and just muddling along so far.
Spurs only had one good performance so far yet still managing to be top six somehow (ok, that's the same as last season).
And Man Utd going from a successful mainly British team to an unsuccessful foreign one in 18 months.
And we could be above Arsenal, Liverpool, Everton & Man Utd by Monday night :O
sanchez was excellent. went after everything.
wilshere took his goal well, but was still largely unimpressed.
don't know how ozil didn't get hooked. lazy doesn't begin to describe it.
cracking end to end game though.
All three Man Utd goals have come in the same corner. Why the f.uck doesn't Green just stay in that corner :?
4-0 not sure ferdinand realises he no longer plays for manu!
I'd say odds on. He ain't really done himself any favours up there but Ashley has often undermined him. I'd have him back here in a heartbeat to be fair.[/quote]Quote:

Mmmmm Pardew or Allardyce?
Easiest choice ever.
Then again i would prefer Roader over Allardyce.[/quote]
Apparently Pardew has no say in player signing at Newcastle. Recipe for disaster and rarely works unless those players are the worlds best.
Does make me laugh the fickle nature of the football fan... If I could be bothered, I'd post some of your thoughts on Pardew in his last season here.
If Allardyce goes, we could do way, way better than Pardew.
My thoughts Ears?
