Even Hull are winning today and if they beat Southampton will be just 1 point behind us,as we continue our downward spiral.
Don't think SP and the yanks will leave AP in charge if we don't get wins against Swansea or indeed,Hull.Even Sunderland are beginning to show some form.

Its your glasses. other people said Pardew out i was just replying. I dont think mandanda has shown anything better than we already have and nowhere near who we could have got, and no, i'm not panicking yet.

We need someone who can keep the forward play developing the way it has been but bolt the door at the back. Fat Sam could do the latter but IMHO at the expense of the former. We may have to be patient; we can't afford to f*** this up but we also can't afford to give away three goals a game.

IMO Pardew's biggest failing is the lack of a Pulis Jnr as his number 2.
The team right now is reminiscent of Ollie's. Playing some decent stuff, but being punished for silly errors and getting no luck. Now the harder you try the luckier you get and that is the problem with this team, they lack focus, concentration and intensity, not consciously, but in a subconscious way.
They start games in a slightly arrogant, we're good kind of way and are very slap dash. Once we go a goal ( or 2) down it's when we see the real team, as if they've now switched on and it's time for work. No amount of tactical work can compensate for a slack mental attitude. To me it's all too friendly and with no Jedi now, there's no one to put the fear of God into anyone making silly slack mistakes.
Under Ollie and Millen we had two nice guys, Pulis came in and we had the right balance of good and evil, Warnock was a basket case and now we are stuck with good Cop, good Cop again. It worked for a while as we still had Jedi, but now we are suffering again. I really believe a hard nosed defensive coach is needed to put the mental attitude right again, to make people afraid of making mistakes.
Pardew doesn't have a backroom staff that follow him from job to job, so he has no one he trusts to give him another perspective or chew the players out when it's not acceptable. The mental side of our game is gone and he has to find somebody to bring it back. If he doesn't want to, then we have to make a change.

That's Life
And as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks stompin' on a Dream.
KEEP THE FAITH!!!!!

Just when I thought it couldn't get much worse this weekend, now hear that WBA are winning at Leicester and we slip just above the bottom 3,as they leapfrog us.
Believe even SP and a very supportive board's patience will be tested to the full over the coming weeks.

..these so called fans of ours are now happier if we lose so that it justifies their treachery of Palace.
