..so are we saying that with McArthur on the pitch we don't make mistakes but without him we do, do you really want me to list all the silly goals given away with him involved in the team because I can, I'll just do moan.u for starters, he was there for ledley's lovely handball and he was still there for the refs lovely interpretation of offside for Mata's goal...of course he watched also the beautiful handling of the ball for their wonderful first goal and then he watched in awe as we brilliantly played them offside.
People are just trying to link our misfortune to one person and time when really it is a collection of problems over a long period of time all starting when we failed to make the most of Mr Murray and then failed to replace him properly, Wickham excused sadly for injuries because he has great potential, but very poor luck.

When Murray went the replacement was not Benteke.

Love this and its so obvious. Perdu is French for Loser.
Alan Perdu it even sounds the same.

What is worrying me is that the easy answer is just to say PARDEW OUT to everything that happens, and to say anybody who disagrees is DELUDED and STUPID. This leaves no room for useful debate and no room for balanced discussion.

We were clearly unlucky yesterday. The team clearly are fighting for Pardew. The disputed goal on the stroke of half-time with our bad run would have put the heads down of most teams but our team continue to fight. The subsitution had no impact on their second goal, Jimmy Mac wouldn't have been involved I don't think. At the time ManU were attacking with 8-9 players, could be Pardew was thinking by playing a hard running Campbell we could maybe reduce the tide.

However, I probably agree that Pardew's time is up but sacking him will be a high risk strategy and will only be made when it is 100% clear that we are not going to get out of this slump. I thing Pardew's tactics are questionable and have cost us a number of points this year. I also think the coaching of the team has gone downhill and hold Pardew responsible for this. In hindsight the board should have replaced Pardew in the Summer in the light of our terrible form in the second half of last year.

We've conceded goals in the last 10mins of time 4 out of the last 6 games...costing us 6points had they not been conceded in the process...those 6 points would see us in 9th place.

We're not getting spanked either...we just need to concentrate for the whole game

Not many opportunities for french grammar police, but isn't perdu the past participle of the verb 'perdre' to lose. So lost not loser, although maybe equally apt.
