Alan Pardew will punish himself with community service after technical area misdemeanors http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/alan-pardew-punish-himself-community-6768456 Must be good being a kid on one of the youth teams, knowing that putting up with you is the coach's punishment for nutting someone

Not quite sure how you grow up supporting your dad's team's local rivals like, wouldn't even let a kid of mine decide to glory-hunt Man City or Chelsea. You'll stand in the pissing rain with me and watch us get humped by Spurs and fucking like it.

How does it compare with what Ince got his 5 match stadium ban for do we reckon, in terms of seriousness? Would have thought attacking an official was worse than a player. http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/football-league/fa-evidence-reveals-stadium-ban-for-paul-ince-was-due-to-the-blackpool-manager-violently-shoving-an-official-and-threatening-to-knock-him-out-8886765.html

How the fuck did he get a ticket anyway? Sounds like someone's just found the photo and made up a story to go with it.

What 'rest of the season'? I could see a panic replacement if we were down the other end of the table, but we've already reached the 40-point finish line. Is Ashley going to sack him because he won't be able to guide us to Europe if he's not allowed in the ground? Pffft.

"I think they seriously believe that man for man their team is better than city's. Hell on" What?! Deluded Geordies marra, all think they're gonna win the league every season. Mag at work was going on about it.

Indeed, although we had a few like that who then lost their marbles after a derby defeat, that'll be the acid test

"How would the mags react to losing a cup final?" "They'd destroy the whole of London! They'd slaughter every horse in the country! They'd attack the opposing fans!" Seem to have completely forgotten it happened twice in living memory and the atmosphere afterwards was completely good natured. Can't remember anyone talking about Sunderland and if we'd made a better account of ourselves than they would have done in our personal fantasies though.

Yeah, I remember all the credit we got for our FA Cup runners up medals, especially from them lot.

aye, for them to cry over on the way home. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bhu8RQhIgAAJJdw.jpg

Hahaha, all those glory hunting cunts who came out the woodwork can go back to not giving a fuck again.

Cheesy chips, thrown away

Watching with a toon fan I've just got back from Hull with who wants them to win it because he "supports north east football". No words.

Now don't fuck this up!

Fuck's sake City, sort it out.

"Wembley's a shit hole, I'm staying in Hull" in the pub pre-match

Gaggle of mackem lasses at Central, all in identical brand new red and white scarfs and club shop carriers looking like they're off on a hen do. Must have bought all their new merchandise when they were at the ground for the Southampton game.

Hang on a minute. I laid £10 on them to win on Betfair and got 10/1. Are you saying this only counts if they win after 90 minutes? Yeah "To win" means to win the game in 90 minutes. You can bet separately on them winning in extra time, winning on pens or just to lift the trophy though any victory method.

Yeah, season's a dead rubber now and if we go full strength we might accidentally end up in the Europa League. Treat every game between now and the end of the season like a cup game. By which I don't mean in the way teams facing relegation claim every game is like a cup final, but just grudgingly turn up and put 11 players on the pitch. Depends on your point of view I suppose, some people have already said we should be trying things out over the remaining games. Chicken and egg, people are saying we might as well try stuff out because Pardew isn't going to use the remaining games to try and qualify for Europe anyway.

I'll be hungover on a train back from Hull, has the potential to be an unpleasant journey.

The only thing I do remember Brett saying in terms of trophies is using the argument "If Pardew won us trophies would you still all hate him". It might just be that mentioning Pardew and trophies in the same sentence implied there was some possibility in his mind that the two could meet, way beyond the wildest imaginations of your standard Newcastle fan.

10-1 is only to win in 90 minutes, you know if you put that on they'll do it in extra time or penalties just to leave you thoroughly fucked off and £50 out of pocket to boot. They're about 5-1 or 6-1 to lift the trophy.

Maybe next year we'll meet our target of 40 points by February and be able to give up on the season even earlier, we're getting more efficient all the time!
