Obviously hope we win and it's positive backing for the team, they'll need lifting. That's what we all want and hopefully we're all happy at 5pm.

Fuck right off, this is all I have. Nice, cheers man. Where you logging these btw? I was thinking I'd just keep a Word doc with screen grabs of all of the polls. For the table, I'll somehow get the real table into Excel and show side-by-side with another table which takes uses N-O's most popular prediction each time. The only thing I wasn't sure about was how to log the scorelines, but I'll probs just log them as 1-1/1-0/2-0/3-0 as it seems the most sensible and shouldn't make loads of difference to goal differences anyway. It's just struck me that I'll have to amend the opposition's points/GD each game too, will need to remember that. Sorry, is that what you meant? Basically aye. Just wondered how you were going to do it but that sounds good.

Nice, cheers man. Where you logging these btw?

That do?

Giz a minute.

my main hope is that when he moves he comes out and publicly slates pardew as the reason for leaving, it might wake a few f***ers up That would be great. Aye never happens like i know I fail to see how one of our best players leaving and slating the club/manager on his way out can be construed as "great", but that may just be me.. Nope, with you on this one. I'm not with you. The only chance of these fuckers leaving is if people actually make a fuss, whether it be the fans, the players, the ex-players. Someone has to actually speak up and make people pay attention to just how disgracefully we're being ran as a club. Aye, under normal circumstances I'd prefer him to keep his gob shut in public. Never really been a fan of airing grievances in public. However, this boil needs to be lanced.

Mackem on RTG reckons Pardew was on a plane to Nice this morning.

Having slept on it I'm still worried about relegation. It was the manner of the defeat more than anything else. We stumbled across the finishing line last season, we were atrocious. We needed 37 games to ensure survival and the players looked like they'd given up on Pardew and the most worrying thing about last night was the fact that absolutely nothing has changed from March, April, May. Same players, same manager, same coaches, same 'tactics', same lack of discipline, lack of enthusiasm, lack of possession, lack of threat etc. Nothing has changed so I'm expecting us to struggle this season as badly as we did last. Insanity is repeating the same mistakes and expecting different results. We're in fucking trouble.

0-3 1-1 0-6 0-0 2-1 0-1 0-4 Last 7 fixtures.

Nearly.

We're all over the shop. Players just occupying a space on the park without any direction. Just getting goal-side and being spread out. It's fucking schoolboy stuff. It's been a shockingly embarrassing day all round. I expected a defeat but this is abysmal.

Ben Arfa obviously needed a Steak Bake or something.

This could already be 7 or 8 tbh. Fucking awful stuff.

Pardew's lost it. And the players fucking know it too. There's no structure, no discipline, no enthusiasm, no formation, no life. It's just taking the punches on the ropes and waiting for the bell.

Nearly HT, come on.

Jesus fucking Christ. How fucking easy?

I knew we'd struggle badly and I fully expected the loss but this is dreadful. City are one of the best teams in the league but I wanted us to compete and make it difficult for them. This is just fucking garbage.

Looked a pen.

Almost lasted 6 minute. Great effort.

Disappointed he's going but stopped getting attached to individual players a long time ago. They come, they stay for a few years and then they move on, that's modern football and he won't be the last to go either. They're all just temporary employees, aye it's shit when you lose good players but it happens. Almost certain that Sissoko was bought safe in the knowledge that Cabaye and/or Tiote were leaving and he's Cabaye's replacement. The money we get for him should go straight back into the team but I've got my doubts on that score.

Balance sheet's gan be pua mint.

Pigshit. The useless cunt has already proved he can't cope with more than 1 game a week. I hate him. I absolutely fucking hate him.

Agree.
