Pretty weak in midfield but cannot really see any alternatives except for Bale and Walcott

I totally agree with you I was just pointing out why I thought we did not get promoted I thought we did really well this season and never expected promotion but hope we maybe in the CHAMPIONSHIP in the near future

I think you are right we could have had a better season but it was one of the best for sometime. I think it shows thatPardew is a bit like Redknapp he needs to buy in players to succeed - I wonder if he will be able to develop the Academy Players into regular first team players like Cortese wants. Seemed to do very little in that area last season but of course the youngsters maybe poor

Beating Leeds and Norwich are not beating Tranmere Exeter Wycombe and Brentford is not conistent Not getting enough points means getting less than Norwich Leeds Millwall Swindon Charlton and Huddersfield if had got more we would have go to the playoffs I would have thought.

In all types of business there is pressure from above to meet targets but he has not appeared relaxed in front of the press on a couple of occassions.

NC/ML may not think Pardew is as successful as he should have been with all the money spent and he may not be the person to lead us to the Premiership. We just dont know what has gone on between the three of them but I dont have a five year plan so I would be happy for Pardew to continue. But he will be under pressure next season and I am not sure he reacts well to it

But Man City who I think you suggested last season would not be in the top six got rid of Hughes in possibly similar circumstances and maybe in the Champions League next season. So replacing a manager is not always wrong. Now that ML/NC own the club they are responsible to no one and can do what they think is right we may not agree with their decisions but we have to accept them. Although I think AP can lead us to the Championship he may not be the manager to take us further but only time will tell

Why?

In total agreement I think Pardew should be left to get on with the job

I dont think the form was bad but the other teams were doing well and we just seemed to falter when the chips were down with results at Exeter Wycombe Tranmere etc What was our best winning sequence?

No one knows but if AP is sacked would you like the job?

Because Coppell may not want to work for NC

The reason we did not get promotion was that the team was not consistent and did not get enough points

Well I think it is Pardew's fault he should have done better with the team at the beginning of the season I am not suggesting that we should have won them all but we should have got a few more points

Are you on the right forum?:confused:

Interesting Quote on BBC Site From Simon, Fulham, via text: "Slightly concerned to see John Pantsil line up at right back, Baird has been heroic this year despite his clear limitations and faults, can't help but feel the rustiness of Pantsil may cost us." Sums up Baird for me

You do seem to be a very clever chap but obviously you do not understand how the political system works . By the way is Mr Cameron a Liar as he said he would he would have a referendum on the Lisbon treaty.

Most politicans have a private side different from there public no one who would have thought Mr Major was having an affair Edwina Currie.

Politics is addressing the issues not being biggoted against Gordon Brown who you probably have never met and dont know his ideals.

This Poll is like General Election I would like the oppurtunity to rate say five players

Listening to the interview prior to bigotgate she appeared to be talking a great deal in generalisations and not specifics

From your comments the problem appears is that you are probably bigotted against Mr Brown . He made a mistake and left his microphone on thats all.

It is much easier having a discussion with someone who knows the facts than someone like the lady from Rochdale

Prominent economist David Hale has repeated some stark words from the Bank of England's governor Mervyn King, reports the BBC's chief economics correspondent Hugh Pym. Apparently, Mr King suggested that whoever wins the election will be "out of power for a whole generation" because of the scale of cuts they will be required to make. Those views have not been confirmed by the Bank. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/10091952.stm
