The link on the bottom of that article is both accurate and scathing. http://metro.co.uk/2014/03/30/change-the-record-newcastle-united-fans-have-heard-all-alan-pardews-lame-excuses-before-4683564/

He's lost the plot and completely out of his depth, but it's not his fault, it's Ashley. Any successful business works as a team. The off pitch team is a shambles, lacking in character, numbers and skill and a vision. The club is Ashley's cash cow and Pards is isolated without a friend in the world and no support. If he kept his gob shut I'd have some sympathy for his situation, but he won't so I don't. Ashley OUT.

Ashley was at the game yesterday, but I don't know how much he watched or saw through his bleeding eyes.

Sadly I now get my enjoyment out of other teams sh1t performances and losses rather than ANYTHING NUFC do. I hate Ashley /Pards et al for what they've done to my love of the game.

Newcastle manager Alan Pardew says his return to the dressing room can revive the Magpies' faltering season. Pardew has been banned from attending Newcastle's last three matches after headbutting Hull's David Meyler during his team's 4-1 win on 1 March. "If you take a personality out of the dressing room when you have a small team it's going to have an effect," Pardew told BBC Radio Newcastle. "I'm looking forward to having some impact in there." Newcastle, under assistant coach John Carver, have lost two of the three games Pardew has missed - at Fulham and, last Tuesday, at home to Everton. “The bottom line is we know what we have to do during the summer - we have to bring in a bit more quality” Newcastle manager Alan Pardew On Saturday, Newcastle travel to one of his former clubs, Southampton, and while Pardew remains banned from the dug-out for a further four matches, he is now allowed back in the dressing room and stands. "I've sat upstairs there before as manager of Southampton, but it's just good to be back in the dressing room," said Pardew. "You have that relationship with the players that goes back - you signed contracts with them, or you have some personal issue with them, you have an attachment that no-one else can have. "Put on top my personality - which we all know is a little bit of a winning mentality - and I want to make sure we want to win. "We got beat the other night [by Everton] after a couple of errors but the bigger problem at the moment is scoring goals and we want to improve on that - albeit we have three really tough games coming up." After Southampton, who lie one place and one point behind Newcastle in the Premier League, United face Manchester United at home before travelling to Stoke City. "We've done better away from home against top teams, maybe because the set-up of the team against the better sides is more in line with the team coming on to us," Pardew said. "When the emphasis is on us at home, especially without Yohan Cabaye, we've lacked that quality and having no Loic [Remy] and no Cabaye on the pitch takes away some of our flair." Midfield playmaker Cabaye was sold to Paris St-Germain for £19m during the transfer window and striker Remy has missed the last three games through injury. When Remy missed three fixtures through suspension in early February, the Magpies suffered three heavy defeats in a row - conceding 10 goals and failing to score. "The bottom line is we know what we have to do during the summer - we have to bring in a bit more quality," said Pardew. "I have a good record with strikers. "We had Demba Ba, and we knew he was going to be a big loss, but we brought in Loic and if we don't manage to secure Loic we'll have to replace him."

Eggzackery... does something stupid then as do all the Manyoo cnuts throws his arms up in the air as if he's either innocent or hard done to.

Only if we.. sorry.. Ashley wants an upgrade. There's plenty of strikers that can't score available cheap/for free

Norwich run-in....They face fellow strugglers Sunderland, Swansea, West Brom and Fulham in their next four games, before ending the season with matches against Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal. Houghton may survive if they stay up, but I think he's a goner.

Anyone know which FA rule has the legal authority to ban a paid employee of NUFC from the premises for X amount of Premier league games ?

How often did Wilshite give the ball away tonight ? Loadsa skill but no end result.

I think I'm about to smash my radio when the cowardly cnut comes on 5 Live. Just foxtrot oscar you fraud.

Pards blowing smoke up his ass...why doesn't he just STFU http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/26152479 "Davide Santon's midfield performance [against Chelsea] . . . forget about what it looked like to the naked eye, his stats were very good, which is great news. It gives us a player we can put in there now"

That performance should see a few billion off the share price and scare off any quality signings... cracking night down the rub-a-dub with a couple of mackems and the ubiquitous Mancs.. I nearly wet myself

I don't normally read or listen to anything Lily says, but I was drawn to this and I did chuckle.. "Manchester United must spend £200m if they are to rebuild their squad to the standard that once made sides visiting Old Trafford feel helpless." Only 12 players not good enough

I was in a bar in Madchester on Tues and had the pleasure of listening to and then baiting 15 Mancs.. it was hilarious. It's Moyes fault/it's not Moyes fault.. must have heard "good ball that" hundreds of times... several very gobby ones contradicting themselves never mind each other. The following day the Blues in the office were still getting the most stick despite the Reds predicament. http://i43.tinypic.com/k1x4t3.jpg

Jeezus.. what a thread to wake up to.... my immediate thought on seeing the title was my New Years Resolution was going to have to be changed to becoming a mackem That'll be a NO.

Shay Given extends his loan at the Smoggies... that can't be doing his lungs any good.. serves the Judas right !

Can't remember the game but was probably early 70's and "Howay the Lads" rang round the ground for the whole ( and I mean whole) 45 mins of one half. There was never a silence and spine tingling when the whole stadium joined in. Sore hands from the clapping.Happy days.

Time for the often quoted 'I'll show my ar*e in Fenwicks window'. Spending is not Ashley's modus operandi.

"The special pr*ck"... lost the plot and showing his true colours in not being to motivate mega-paid *ankers. No better then AVB.

The new Alan Smith with offsides replacing fouls.

U what ? Doesn't hold a candle to the likes of Dalglish, Souness, Allardyce,Shearer,Hughton, Roeder... the exception being Kinnear.

Horseplop ! You can't make that statement based on this season's performances alone. NUFC 0 Liverpool 6 plus many more no-shows.

He's nowhere near atm but his game reminds me so much of Yaya. He's a good player... he has all the attributes to be a great player.

Squeal little piggy squeal !
