    Alan Pardew

    Pardew's contract only has a one year payoff. Mike Ashley's not an idiot.

    Will Communism Ever Work?

    I would be surprised if the majority of the developed world did not shift to a more socialist culture with an emphasis on personal creativity rather than consumption and wage-seeking in the upcoming post-scarcity age. This is primarily due to technology-driven unemployment, which we are already...

    Alan Pardew

    That doesn't surprise me. He's rumored to be pretty lazy at Saudi Sportswashing Machine, rarely directs any training though I suppose you could argue plenty of managers including MON use their number twos as points of contact. Saudi Sportswashing Machine fans hate him so they probably want a loss to get him kicked out faster. If...

    Dortmund finishing above Bayern is equivalent to us finishing above Liverpool and Chelsea last season. The problem with our league is that there are FIVE clubs with far more financial resources and wages than us, whereas Dortmund only have to deal with one behemoth. The infinite money of...

    The real problem isn't AVB or Levy, it's the reality of not having a massive stadium or a shady oil billionaire benefactor. There's not much anyone can do about that, unfortunately - unless Joe Lewis suddenly decides to convert from being a money fan to a Spurs fan.

    I can give you the reason - retaining Mata and Ramires and buying Hazard, Oscar, Azpi, Ba, a bunch of other AMs who have gone on loan while we lose our two most creative players in Modric and VdV and replace them with Dembele and Dempsey. I saw a figure that showed the costs of our midfield...

    I think we have gotten better results-wise because of greater consistency, but not performance-wise or team-wise (this is suggested by our relatively poor GD, which reflects a smaller 'quality' advantage over our opponents). The problem is that our rivals have improved even more than we've...

    They *don't* have any pride though, Pardew's sapped it out of them. Even when they were supposed to be fighting to save their lives they still laid down and got reamed at home by their biggest rivals 3-0 and a Suarez-less Liverpool 6-0. It was like they were trying to get Pardew sacked.

    Wages rather than turnover are the big correlation with finishing position. We're well behind even Liverpool in that regard, so we've done very well to remain competitive. We just need to be an extra 10% smarter than everyone else in the transfer market, along with a little bit of 'luck' - and...

    Harper's been awful. Wouldn't be surprised to see him 'drop' it into his own net if they're drawing in the last five - nobody would think it that sketchy given his form.

    It was always going to happen, if you look at their run-in and remember how good they are against lesser sides. I think we and Arsenal were in false positions due to the fixture list. It's Chelsea that's been particularly impressive in the last few months, but their squad should really be...

    If we win against Sunderland we'll finish with 72 points. That's a very, very decent return - our PL record in fact. At some point you have to hold your hands up and just admit that our rivals were even stronger this season, which isn't exactly something we can help unless we have a shady oil...

    Gareth Bale

    Re: Gareth Bale You get massive bonuses for playing CL football though. That's why our actual profit from it wasn't that high.

    Alan Pardew

    Yeah, he really hates us for some reason. Let's hope the Saudi Sportswashing Machine players are trying to play for a move away....!

    Dempsey

    Dempsey really doesn't press much and even Fulham fans used to call him lazy. Siggy and Holtby are substantially more hard-working throughout 90 min imo, though it is oftentimes headless chicken-running sort of effort. OTOH, you could say Dempsey 'preserves' his energy to keep looking for good...

    OMT: ***TOTTENHAM v sunderland***

    I'm quite relaxed since I expect Arse to win both their games at a canter anyways. I'd just like to give a team a good pounding. :lol: Haven't had one all season save maybe that Villa 0-4. Of course, relegating Sunderland and snatching fourth would be a nice bonus ;)

    Fergie: Retired, Moyes: Sacked, LVG/Giggs: The New Super Duo

    Re: Fergie: Officially Retiring - Moyes Taking Over I agree with you here. It is very clear that Moyes has always prioritized the small chance of finishing in the top four despite the mountain of a challenge that is. With his tiny squad, there is little chance that he could both mount a top...

    Dempsey

    Clint's a decent squad option so long as we sign a few creative 'build up' players who can supply him and make sure we retain control of midfield since we sacrifice a large number of passes with Dempsey (eg. compared to VdV). I prefer him over Defoe since his positioning seems better and he...

    Alan Pardew

    Ashley is NOT a Spurs fan, he used to have a season ticket at Chavs though that was some time ago. Whelan's mouth runs as freely as Arry's - and they're equally trustworthy. You can bet that Mike Ashley cares about the money though. I actually think these comments will put the spotlight on...
