Big Geordie

No way on god's earth that he will sign permanently for us now and to be honest, who could blame him?

I'm inclined to go along with it looks like he has lost the dressing room. I feel for those of you who were there tonight - been through similar dark days myself during the late 80's/early 90's but then I was only paying a few quid to get in. Recent home games are surely breaking the trade descriptions act.

Oh, and the same failing players will continue to get picked because we have nout else in reserve. Bad times. Ashley will be happy though.

Absolving himself of blame again tonight then eh? So glad I don't go anymore - though I may have to soon as part of my job. One of the lads I look after is wanting a season ticket, so I'll be asked to take him along. At least I will be getting paid for it, I guess.

Has he spoken yet? Tiredness, conditions, injuries and missing Cabaye will be his excuses tonight. It's a good job there's 10 days now until Villa but again I can see that being enough for some folk tonight, with more season ticket cancellations to come. Surely only a matter of time before the crowd begin to turn on him. He can't hide behind Ashley and Kinnear any more.

It's 87, Bimpy - but aye, it's bad craic and desperate times. Still, there will be those who still defend Ashley and Pardew. Just remember, all that cash in the bank!

And to think I avoided the result to watch on Football First (only to be made aware by accident) I'm glad to save myself the bother now. Anyone still defending Pardew and Ashley? Gonna be a struggle to get to 40 points before the end of the season, nevermind 50. We are in free-fall - just glad we have as many points on the board as we do now, otherwise we would be fucked. Also - the first time since 1987 that we have lost 4 home games on the bounce, Pardew sure does like breaking records!

Lots of 'local' Man United supporters on 606.

They also do commentary for the official club website and I bet that's what they will be worrying about.

There will be no mass-rebuild. It'll be bare minimum.

You have answered your own question there, Wullie. I might try to ring up again through the week to question how far they go as a show. Being the BBC they are supposed to be impartial, but for me it's too weighted in favour of the club. I imagine if I bring this issue up, I may risk a ban from the show.

Total Sport normally let fans voice their views, but when callers have mentioned the club being proven liars, they are pulled pretty quickly. Happened to me once, and also Steve Wraith too through the week. Ashley has TS in his pocket, through fear. Club IS being ran like fucking North Korea.

I get the feeling they don't want to put their commentary contract with the club, in danger. They will allow fans to speak out, but Ando will only go 'so far' when it comes to what he's allowed to say. I think he's just thick personally. Far from it. I've met Ando a good few times and he's a good bloke who knows his stuff. He'll be briefed on how far he can go with regards to how far he can go.

Wandy - I do and have done recently (ring in on TS and give the club both barrels)

Pardew; Didn't know what Mbiwa was doing for the pen. Pleased with de Jong, Sammi and Dummett. Chelsea's work-rate was outstanding. Says we threatened and should have taken one chance. Players gave everything against a good side. Picked Sissoko as captain to 'inspire' him - which he did. Goal-scoring is down to missing personnel. Spurs is another big game, that we could win with what we have available.

Hazard makes it 2-0. Looks like I was right about us getting a hammering.

Hazard 1-0.

Mick Lowes brown-nosing Pardew on Radio Newcastle - calling his team selection 'bold and brave'.

First game that I won't be viewing for a while - just gonna made do with Radio Newcastle. I fear we are gonna get horsed.

Did we really spend 33 million last January? Did we bollocks, that includes wages for the next ten years and schooling fees for the kids they haven't had yet. Seemed high. Unbelievable.

Aye, heard that. Yet about 10mins beforehand he said if the amount of people who'd told him they weren't renewing didn't, then the ground would be empty next season. Radio Newcastle defo trying to play down the cancellation/non-renewal rumours, though. They are definitely trying to keep the club onside - probably fearful of Ashley cancelling their commentary contract.

If it's true, it's a canny drop inside 4-5 days

Just been some lad txt'd in on TS who reckons 5000 have so far not renewed. Of course, unconfirmed but Martin the Mackem shouted it down straightaway.
