Yeah, Pardewesque in repeating the same things with no actual answers:

Today was a hard lesson
We want to be winning games
We lost the game in 3mins
We have to not make mistakes

Might not be bang on but it literally sounded like a montage.

I hope the talks are "Sorry Frank but this is quite obscene, travel safe"

Don't think we were ever gonna sign anyone, looks far more likely we won't now!

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

How long did it take Sam to get a run of results and have the team following his instructions? 7, maybe 8 games?
Let's see who we get in by Thursday before getting knickers twisted.

I have bitten my tongue until now but the last few (and reasoned) responses say it all for me. "Total football, the Dutch way, Ajax, Joop Joop Holland" means nothing. What have The Netherlands ever won (other than a 4-1 spanking at Wembley). 1974 best side in the World Cup but bottled it, 1978 best side but done by a fix and a Junta. Since then...........anything?..........
I went to a football college in Ijmuiden as a kid, played on pitches the like I had never seen before, was tought by Ajax coaches to play full back, sweeper and midfield, was in awe, and went on to win.......nothing. Got beaten up by big lads when I got home.
The game has moved on, that 1974 team was special but the rest of the world copied, adapted and then overtook it. Let's not look to Holland as a great example or her coaches (it really is like the Scottish league there now), let's be English, proud if it and get the ball to the wingers early, who can then cross early to a strong centre forward.
That has always been football, total or otherwise

Short memories from some. Eight games before it got t going and then rubbish at the end. Was nervy and we got through on other's failures.

Yes, our manager blamed the players' lack of courage for the defeat. Not quite sure what that means but obviously it wasn't his fault but the players, of course. Those sort of remarks will not enamour him to the dressing room. Look forward to more confusion?

Nothing is fool-proof - fools are too ingenious

Think you are wrong regarding Parish lining his own pockets unless you have access to his bank accounts.Bit of a slanderous statement and totally uncalled for,you have a short memory without him and the others we wouldn't have a club to support.
Have to say that his choice of Managers leaves a lot to be desired but that has nothing to do about money.
