Pardew given a reprieve...

Didn't realise that JJ was still allegedly a professional football player. I thought he had retired into crap punditry.

 

Really? Only Caulker is proven at this level. Isla is very good too but the rest are either too old and over the hill or unproven. In midfield Phillips is unproven at Prem level and has shown nothing to suggest he's good enough, SWP, Jenas and Henry are all over the hill, legs have gone. Since Raylor can't be included in our squad I can't see how you can include Faurlin in theirs (he's missed two years of football through injury). Taarabt is a worse, more unproffesional version of Hatem, Hoillett never produced anything conistently. Sandro is a beast but getting him fit is impossible, Fer is decent but is very fairweather and up top they have Austin and Vargas who are decent but Zamora who is frankly worse than Shola.

It's easy to see why they're relegation fodder IMO.

 

I'd prefer Saylor to Caulker and we all know what I think of that c**t. I just don't it what is so special about him. Altidore and Shola bossed him which should show how bang average he is.
