Presumably as captain he agreed with Pardew's team selection, so we might just end up being managed by Pardew by proxy, still cursed with Goufran starting every match.

A toast to sackpardew. height=900http://i.imgur.com/SVwfh2d.jpg[/img]

SSN say reports compensation agreed premature.

All that trying to get him sacked during a period of awful results, accepting it's not going to happen after a little blip of form and then having another club paying £2 million to take him away a month later would just be weird. Like War of the Worlds, where earth throws all of its firepower at the invaders in vain and then they just catch the common cold and keel over and die.

Sadly if they get that bit so wrong, maybe the headline is wrong too.

Go for Ronald De Boer, cheaper and genetically identical.

I don't mind worrying about Newcastle's future. At least I'll feel something. /emo

The gods have decided we aren't miserable enough, after Pardew's career saving run vanquished any hope from our minds and left us in a numb state of apathy knowing he would never get sacked, fate gives us the cruelest glimmer of hope just to open up the wounds.

Colo was trying to get out of his contract as a player to fuck off to Argentina, why's he going to want to stick around and manage us?

Watch Ashley fuck this up by demanding too much compensation or something.

That's the imperezion that I get?

Our song for him is fucking shit, doesn't rhyme, doesn't scan. Can we at least go for 'Woooooaaaaahhh, Perez is on fire' until we get something better?

Padrew coming 'back from the dead' was a good media angle. Being pretty shit again isn't, they're just not interested. The only quirky media angle they've run on about it is the little quip about it's the infamous "Manager of the Month curse". So again, mysterious forces completely out of his hands.

Went to my folks' for Christmas and my dad dug some stuff out of his matchday programme collection to give me. Got the program from the first match I went to, vs Charlton in 1987, the one from the 5-0 against Man U, Barcelona, PSV away he went to, the semi final against Shef Wed and the two finals in the late 90s. And some photos of me as a baby. Will post pics if there's any interest

Just every time I see a story about Nile http://i.imgur.com/0zJY05U.jpg

The Reddit thread where the Americans are outraged and stunned because some guy and his kids got kicked out of the Villa family end for celebrating Man U's goal is cringetacular.

Bears repeating: P8 - W1 - D3 - L4 Goals scored: 4 Goals conceded: 12

Well, seeing as lots of people are happy to have a Newcastle manager whose bogey team are Sunderland, that's what we have to put up with.

Captain facebump

Last Orders is grim man. Has it had a refurb to go with the new name? Haven't been in there for ages, but last time I was in there the mens, lasses and disabled toilets were labelled "Gents", "Ladies", and "Mackems"

Greyhound in the Felling got fined £10,000 at the back end of last season. The Bay Horse in Windy Nook got a similar fine. Other bars in the area have, understandably, s*** themselves and removed the foreign systems. They're just money grabbing c***s - publicans just want to make a living and there is a heavy reliance on showing Newcastle games to get punters at a time when it's a real struggling industry. Last Orders received a letter the other week also... Still a couple of pubs showing in the area though they might be independent and therefore less of threat... I know the Sun in Swalwell has warning signs for all Sky/BT inspectors they will be trespassing and are not allowed in Yeah, somewhere I was in last night said the brewery decided it was too much of a risk and ordered them to stop. Independents probably give less of a fuck.
