Bad form. He will start scoring again imo. Bad form doesn't last this long, he's a striker who has a really specific set of skills even when he's confident and we are not getting the best from those skills. With how we play and the type of wide players we use i don't think he compliments them very well.... with that said i still believe in him and wouldn't sell him or anything but a Gomis type would have gone down a treat right about now honestly. Bad form can easily last this long. I am sure there are other examples that people can come up with. Today was by far not his worst game; thought he was quite lively first half.

Neck on the line time. Think we will beat Liverpool and that Papiss Demba Cisse will SCORE a goal.

Think you have to look at his overall record to assess that question. From what Wikipedia tells me, he's broadly speaking, a 1 in 2 striker (or just under for the pedants) so you have to assume he's on a terrible dip in form. Also, if this is his level he would never have scored all the brilliant goals that he has for us.

Absolute donkey who cost the goal today. I'd take Mbiwa at his worst every day of the week.

The first one was fine, nothing special. The second one was beautiful though. Better than fine id say. Really hard to strike the ball from that angle precisely into the corner.

Bad form. He will start scoring again imo.

No.

He would have either scored or got some assists the way we played first half. Would have made the result for more comfortable than it turned out to be; ridiculous to bench him after ONLY two bad performamces.

This is going to make it all the worse when we lose the derby.

Ben Arfa should have played today and we would have won this convincingly. He would have thrived in that first half and been deadly on the counter in the second; hell even once or twice in the last 5 minutes when he came on he looked more than threatening.

Didnt they have 60 odd percent possession second half?

Thought it was Cisses best game in a while for us!

The thing that annoyed me was how easily Cardiff seemed to just stroll through into our box time and again second half. It led to a few last second Colo cleverness and Williamson Balls in your face moments to save us.

A few decent counters but most of the time we just hoofed it forward any old place. Like I say Ben Arfa at 60 mins would have seen us score again.

Delighted with the 3 points but that second half took the gloss off it quite a bit. Brilliant first half, Horrific second where we looked like conceding every time Cardiff attacked us. We couldnt string two passes together mostly. Ben Arfa should have been on for Gouffran about 25 mins earlier than he was and we would have wrapped that game up imo.

Pardews job was never in danger; even if we had been beat 6.

BEN ARFA OFF WHAT THE FUCK MANnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Embarrassing, useless, woeful. Oh boy.

That was the same old typical Newcastle that we have seen year in year out after a couple of good wins. We become immediately complacent, take our mental foot of the gas, loose the bit between our teeth and are embarrassed at home by dross. Albeit they were dross who played half decent. It happens all the fucking time and it pisses me right off. Someone mentioned that it is symptomatic of a small club mentality and I agree with them.The players should have been salivating and straining at the leash to go out there and rip Hull to shreds. Instead we got that 'we've cracked it', half arsed, lackadaisical, just have to turn up to win attitude. It stinks.

Disgrace of a highlights package on MOTD. Apart from the goals only showed one other shot from us. What's the fucking point?

A win, just a win please.

Sooner or later I think he's gonna start banging them in again. Gotta stick with him.

This lad can do whatever the fuck he wants on the pitch in my eyes. Couldn't give a fuck if he loses the ball alot. Hate it when the crowd get on his back if he has the ball for more than three seconds. He is an absolute magician. He is everything I want a footballer to be and if I was a footballer I'd basically want to be him. He is THE very definition of a flair player. It will kill me when he goes.

I know you said £200m at the very least, but I honestly think it would need to be someone with many times more than that. Buying the club is one thing, you then have to be able to fund it to a higher level than it is now. Someone who can just about buy the club isn't what we need, it needs to be small change to them. An extreme example I know but I really shudder to think where we'd be if Ashley had sold out to Barry Moat - an enthusiastic owner no doubt but that "pieced together" finance package of his was so small time. I know that, £200m wouldn't even scratch the surface. Was just saying it's all well and good having the Ashley out campaigns, but without a buyer it's futile. It is. And there's no guarantee of someone better coming in tbh, in recent memory there have been worse owners of Premiership football clubs than Ashley. Debatable. Hicks/Gillett. Ashley is far worse than them. They still spent vast sums on players and finished 2nd in the league. Give me Hicks and Gillett any day. I'd even take new owners who were skint after buying the club but did their best with what they've got even if it meant little investment on players and a worse team than we have now. I just want to feel like everyones pulling in the same forwards direction again.

Fucks sake, we have more than enough proper rajee cunts knocking about the city centre on a match day to make this happen.
