What the f*** does that mean? Maybe if he was called Paul Shithoof

If Didi Hamann and Olivier Bernard spouting bullshit about a tosspot manager they never played for is enough to convince some of our fans, they deserve everything they get.

"Paul Dummett has made very good runs!!!!!!!!!!!!??" Who the fuck am i listening to?

Gives him the perfect excuse for Monday - 'the players was tired from playing 120 minutes 5 days ago' "Also, i've been on period all week so John 'Ace' Carver has had to take training and all the players think he's a bellend!"

Yeah, but he still doesn't cover the fullback enough............

Agreed. In fact, the more this Pardew circus rolls on the fewer pundits and ex-players I actually like and respect.

Not after he's been Pardewed he won't. No fucking chance

His job is to stop the opposition scoring. My job is to get us scoring. It's clearly working brilliantly guys, keep up the good work. Jesus fucking wept!!

Didn't anyone else read the article about Ashley taking advice from Lee Charnley and some PR GURU. The latter is the answer to the glowing reports from fan favourites. Typical PR tactic

Are they all pissed? You'd get more out of bunch of 4 year olds

Gouffran is a better striker than Riviere and yet he never gets the chance up top.

If Ben Arfa had found himself in the positions this guy has in front of goal, he'd have buried the chances. That's the frustrating difference between the fella we've let go and the fella that Pardew deems is his superior replacement. He might get better with time but why not have both of them here and take the immediate pressure off Cabella. Fucking clown!

Not sure why everyone is being so defeatist about getting Pardew out after the weekend. The media publicised the planned protest and Sackpardew campaign more that the fans in the ground could ever have hoped to do, the paper media and TV pundits are now fully aware of how inept Pardew is thanks to the Sackpardew website, and are actually now quoting real stats and results rather than the usual ill-informed drivel and #sackpardew was trending on Twitter for most of last week. The SackPardew parody of the Sports Direct logo is everywhere, it was featured on Sky Sports news and most of the major newspapers. In short, the whole thing has been a massive success and this is only the start of it. Ashley can only control what happens inside the ground and he did as much as he could on Saturday to quash the rebellion. But he can't do anything to stop away fans protesting, he can't stop people printing and wearing SackPardew t-shirts or displaying car bumper stickers, he can't stop protests outside the ground and outside his shops, he can't stop people printing and wearing boycott Sports Direct merchandise etc. So the stadium protest didn't work because a lot of our match-going fans are mongs. Fuck em! Leave them to their miserable existences and let's carry on undeterred. There's more of us than there are of them. I couldn't give a monkeys if Ashley has given Pardew his vote of confidence. Just prolongs the amount of time we can cause them as much discomfort as possible.

The argument for getting rid of Pardew is there is black and white for all to see - stats, a list of unwanted records broken, various touchline misdemeanours, assault of an opposing player, allowing his Assistant Manager to abuse fans, releasing two top players from an already depleated squad - the list goes on. The argument for keeping him amounts to 'we finished 5th once' and that can be immediately countered by 'the following season he almost relegated us with the strongest squad we've had during his tenure' You really have to question the motives of anyone who supports keeping him tbh. I'm not suggesting anyone is in the pocket of the club, perhaps they're playing it safe so they don't get banned.

This is the first time in what feels like years that I feel genuinely proud to be a Newcastle United fan. This group behind the Sackpardew.com have done something so groundbreaking that it will set a precedent for every major fan protest at every club going forward. The last few days have been brilliant and I wish I could be there tomorrow to see the culmination. Howay the lads!

Is that likely to happen any time soon?

Think that ball to the head from Robert did some permanent damage.

When you've ruined the Gouf By persisting with hoof That's a Pardew

I take it back about the phone in. This guy has been superb! Totally nailed it!

Adrian Durham slating Pardew for his management of Ben Arfa It's been perfect so far. Let's hope they don't do a phone in

Talk sport talking about Pardew now

When you swap the left-back To improve the attack That's a Pardew When you jizz in your trunks Coz nil nil makes you spunk That's a Pardew

Not this s*** again. Ashley is a crap owner but he doesn't pick the team, dictate tactics or run training sessions. Ashley hasn't consistently picked inferior players (Smith, Perch, Gosling, Ameobi) when other options have been available to the detriment of the team and club as a whole. Ashley isn't the one who has shoehorned players into the team out of their natural positions, destroying their confidence and nullifying any threat they might have once offered. Ashley and Pardew are a good match for each other, they each cover the other's inadequacies but it has gone beyond the point now where Pardew is only holding back the club with his own shitness. Pardew is now the root cause of most of the team's issues and has to go. You ask why he should simply walk away since he has a contract? Because it's got the point where the crowd detest him, the players no longer give a f*** and even the media have started to wake up to his inabilities. If he walks away now he might still get another job in the Premiership or top end of the Championship, the longer he allows it to continue the more questions will be raised about his skills and fewer clubs will think him a potential asset. Walk away now and let the media run with the stories that it was Ashley's way of running the club that harmed the team, or carry on and let everyone know it was Pardew himself who couldn't organise a gangbang in a brothel. Mark Hughes or David O'Leary, pick a career path. I'm not saying that Pardew is innocent either, I just feel that Ashley is more to blame. Yes Pardew picks the team, but how much of a say does he have in the players at his disposal? He has shown in the past that he can get results when he has the right players. He is no scout, I doubt he even knows who half of the players we signed this summer actually are but we finished 5th with Pardew as a manager and a very average side tbh. But when Ashley decides he wants to sell our best player (by far) because he is far more interested in lining his own pockets than the fortunes of the football club. That is why, imo, Ashley is more to blame. So sick of this 'we finished 5th once so he must be good' sh*te. I really am. Ipswich have finished 5th with George Burley. Allardyce finished 6th with Bolton. Do you want either of them as manager (again in Fat Sam's case)? Is it qualification enough? Numpty fluked it, it can happen. He'll never manage it again and don't kid yourself or any one else gullible enough to listen that he can. The Cabaye thing is utter nonsense too, as though a team falling apart entirely due to the sale of only one player is acceptable. Even the best teams in the country lose key players now and again - you didn't see Arsenal turn into relegation candidates after Fabregas' sale, or Spurs after Bale's sale. I can't even recall such a huge nosedive after losing just one player where we're talking about comfortable mid table to genuine relegation form as a result of one sale. The only valid criticism of Ashley regarding Cabaye's sale imo is that a replacement wasn't signed when yet again we sold a key player in the January window, which is a blatant tactic by Mike (i.e. sell when CL teams are likely to be most desperate, no replacement = save on wages = get to pocket even more cash from NUFC). But even then I think Ashley can be excused in this one instance, because we already had a ready made replacement at the club - Pardew should have thrown Marveaux straight into Cabaye's position as soon as the sale was made (in addition to Ben Arfa being the first name on the teamsheet) and given Sylvain at least 6 games in that position to make an impression. Instead Pardew, by his own admission, wanted to "try something different" after Cabaye went, which is why we then reverted to playing out and out hoofball where we were no longer even pretending to try to play football on the deck (which is what we had done in the months leading up to Cabaye's sale). He'd then only briefly throw Marveaux and Hatem on in random positions with no clear strategy/planning saying "go on, pull rabbits out of a hat" whilst the rest of the team was hoofing it/standing still, before then blaming them for defeats. That's 100% Pardew incompetence, and nothing to do with Ashley - the only criticism I'd have of Ashley in this whole Cabaye sale thing was not sacking Pardew, because had he done that any decent manager would have come in and played the team many of us were crying out to see but which Pardew flat out refused to play (Marveaux the tip of a central midfield trio, Ben Arfa on the right of a front 3). This is the key bit for me. If you base your entire gameplan and all of your creativity and goal-getting on one player that is total incompetence and football management at its worse. Given our injury record you'd have at least 3 or 4 back up plans in case that player got crocked. The Cabaye sale showed Pardew up big time but predictably the media didn't see it that way.

I should really do some work

When you're shitting your pants Coz you're hated by fans That's a Pardew
