Big Geordie

And it gets worse. They are fucked now, IMO.

Mackems look poor. No real quality - same as us.

Had to be :-)

Being setup as the scapegoat for yesterday and to be honest, it's depressingly predictable.

I'm recording MotD but I don't know if I can watch our game. I bet they will gloss over our 'performance' and Shearer will say next to nout.

I've never seen that before. Prophetic words from Stewart Robson (I hear he is a twat though too)

Better managers than this prick have been run out of town far quicker. I'm at a bit of a loss as to why he's getting such a long leash by the rank and file. Aye - Souness, Guillt and Allardyce to name but three. I think much of the vitriol aimed at Ashley, has kept Pardew safe. Not sure that's the case any more though. Said I wanted him gone on TS earlier, and I've not changed my mind.

We can only hope, Midds.

Man United score an early goal next Saturday and I think things will turn very quickly. If most of St James can be bothered to rise from their malaise.

Moi on TS earlier. 9:19 in; http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01vqngs

Beren - we simply aren't big news any more, apart from when they try to shoot themselves in the foot (like the Pardew incident the other week) The local rags ask questions, but they could and should do more. We have national hacks like George Caulkin, Simon Bird, etc who do a fare job but again - the media are more concerned about what's going on at Man United, then ask serious questions of how Newcastle is being ran. The only thing that Ashley is going to take note of, is if there is a huge drop in season ticket sales - which I think might already be happening, given what Pardew said yesterday (about the owner wanting a more attacking side) as well as offering sweetners for s/t holders to sign on again. I hope for those that remain, it won't wash and more performances like that in the remaining 7 games, will force people to turn away in droves. It's the only thing that he will be worried about. 30000 inside St James Park for home games next season, won't make his tacky advertising look so good then, with empty seats everywhere. It's what should happen.

Again - I think he's told by TS to watch what he says. Their editorial policy stinks. I'll try and get on through the week to ask them about it, but I may well risk a banning!

Wind up surely? More hot air and totally without conviction, IMO.

Pardew; "As poor a performance as we've seen all season. Poor energy levels after midweek v Everton - players had been rested. Not good enough for the fans who travelled down. Players need to care more and show more belief. Again - blaming no energy - 2nd best. If we play like that in our remaining games - we'll not get another point. Lack of a goal threat which they will try to address in training this week. Ashley (and the club) under no illusions of what needs to be done in the summer - today has not changed that. Elliott did well - Anita worked hard - everyone else 'No'. Didn't look as if we knew how to score a goal"

Some mackem or Ashley apologist on TS now.

Ando still refusing to have a go at Pardew. Don't think there's any doubt that Total Sport can only go so far when it comes to criticising the club and regime.

Good call mate, Ignore the Happy clappers on FM forums too. No probs At least I'll put my head on the block, whilst others are content to snipe, whilst still backing the regime. Been saying what I have for a long time now and have been called for it. Cracks can't be papered over any more.

Done and dusted. Said I want him (Pardew) gone, but I agree with Ando in that it won't happen. If Ashley was gonna sack him, it would have happened the other week after the 'headbutt' incident. Bad, bad times.

Only got Man United next weekend now, As bad as they are, they will murder us because wor lot have given up the fight. Hard to see where the next goal is gonna come from, nevermind point. Got my call booked in for Total Sport. Foaming at the mouth here.

4-0 now. Rodrigez gets his 2nd. Through Elliott's legs.

More cowardice today - not only from the players, but the manager too. PARDEW OUT!

Rodrigez hits the post then Elliott pulls of a terrific save from Ward-Prowse.

3-0 Lallana into the top corner.

Lambert makes it 2-0. Gonna end up a cricket score.

Ben Arfa off. That's the last of him we'll see this season and for good. Mbiwa off for Santon.
