Not sure of a hat trick but will definitely score the winner. Can see Jenas getting one just to rub it in as well.

Sorry i stopped reading after that line I continued to the next line and when it wasn't 'Is he an appalling manager, chancer and a fraud? Yes' that's where I chose to stop reading.

It's not just Newcastle for me, it's all football that I've lost the passion for. For example, a few weeks ago I couldn't remember who won last year's Euro Championships. Was it my mind playing tricks on me in my old age or was it that I honestly didn't care. I've got ESPN as part of my cable package but the only match I've watched recently was the bumming by The Bindippers last weekend. I've barely watched any of the Euro matches at all this season, preferring my XBox or repeats of QI on Dave over live football. So yes, I'd say I've either lost my passion or I'm becoming more of an old curmudgeon than I was previously. I'm going for the latter.

Have to agree with this to be honest - the past results around us for the past month have been absolutely shit for us so there is no reason why this trend won't continue and as some one else said yesterday (I think it was Dave) nobody seems to do us any favours when we're in the shit.

And back down to the championship for the start of the next season.

Howay man, stop it with those predictor leagues. Have the last few weeks not shown that the teams at the bottom don't do anything predictable. Except us I mean.

We've got to get the results to get above them though. Something we don't appear capable of.

Won't get a win and the more deluded will finally realise we've been sleepwalking to relegation sine last November.

Bottom 3 by wednesday morning.

I'd take that at this point.

Too right. If I want to see Man Utd, Chelsea, Liverpool get beaten in the league, then why the hell can't I enjoy them getting beaten in Europe and support the opposition.

Hope you do well in the final lad! I'll be cheering yous on in the pub any way (you should have seen some of the looks I was getting last year cheering on Bayern in the CL final)

It started last week in his post demolition interview and he's ran with it since.

Ever since the face bumming we got last weekend the word experience has started to show up in his interviews. It's almost as if he needs a new crutch as he can no longer use the other 'e' word as an excuse for defeat.

Aye. The Chelsea semi has suddenly been bumped onto ITV 1 I noticed. The official mourning period after Man Ure were 'cheated' out of the Champions must be over.

EXPERIENCE - it's what we need! EDIT - Ninja'd

Had the same thought when he singled Haidara out yesterday. All the better to shoe horn the experience of Jonas into the left back role that has worked so well in the past.

Thought he looked more like this guy, if he had some really horrible disease. http://i40.tinypic.com/6ym975.jpg

Without a doubt it's completely awful and disjointed but it's just about what I'm expecting to see announced at 2pm on Saturday.

I think it will be Perch. Krul Simpson. Saylor. Coloccini. Perch Sissoko. Cabaye. Tiote. Jonas Ameobi. Cisse I fully expect this s***. f***ing Pardew. Christ. That team line up is a good call actually. He's definately looking to replace Hadiara and wants Ameobi's "experience" in there. That's what I'm expecting as well, but obviously not Krul .

Aye. Probably his first name on the team sheet every week. Can see Shola and even Harper starting after the new excuse of experience and talk of changes due to this was wheeled out last weekend.

That's been the standard HR approach to bringing in a new manager for the past nine years though, hasn't it? I'd be surprised if it wasn't.

They seem to manage it - for us anyway. It's not just Puma though as Adidas had a couple of pretty lifting shirt designs for us as well.

No doubt that Ashley doing a McMahon would complete his face turn from monster heel.
