Well played The Chron. They've done their bit - just need those who are going to the game to do there's tomorrow.

We'll find out when the accounts are due, next year. Any bets on them being 'late'? ;-)

Macheda for Man United. Looked a terrific prospect when he first hit the scene at Man United - what has happened to him since though - too much, too soon?

Reef - I'm not aware of Pardew getting that much stick at home games. If anything, he has had an easy ride for ages - all things considered. Fans have turned on other managers (Allardyce, Dalglish, Roeder) for far less.

Tin-pot dictatorship alive and well at St James Park. Thing is with these regimes, is that they eventually topple and that's the hope that people have to hold on to at this time in being. Ashley only wants people who will lick his arse (as Sky did on Wednesday night) Any other questioning voices will be booted out. Stewards will now probably start ejecting fans who sing anti-Ashley songs at home games. It's the next step and somewhat inevitable.

Richie Humprhies was tipped for the top by non other than Marco van Basten, when he started out with Sheffield Weds. Bit unfair on the lad to call him crap, as he became something of a latter-day legend for Hartlepool.

Feckin hell - wish I hadn't asked now.

What's the craic for those of us who aren't on Twitter?

The ground not making as much revenue at it could. I wonder why that is?

It's another convinient excuse for him.

What a bell-end that lad is.

Can't hit a barn door at the moment and his confidence is totally on the floor. Perhaps he will be moved on, in January if not next summer. Someone will pay £5million for him. That said. the lad has been well and truely 'Pardewed' over the last 18 months.

I pity you's who go to games week in, week out now because it must be liking getting your eyes poked with a sharp stick time and time again. In a way, it's like 08/09 again - the club is dying with this man in charge.,

Was just gonna post something similar. He has a ready made excuse now for when the inevitable happens at the weekend. He's a fucking arsehole.

Mission accomplished for Pardew tonight - exiting the League Cup.. A little bit of a battling performance that ultimately wasn't good enough and he also now has a ready made excuse when we lose to Chelsea on Saturday........ tiredness.

Same here, it's not much but I feel a little better for it. I buy every now and then, and have made the effort today.

Well, they failed to peddle Cabaye in the summer, so Krul is perhaps the next in line.

Was just about to post that, Bimpy. It's a start indeed - the gloves are off.

Said that a few months ago - the story about 'Rooney' earlier on this year, was testing the water.

Yup - well played The Chron

You never know, Neesy. Guess we will just have to wait and see.

Oh aye, but Fulham had as much 'debt' as us, I'm sure and far less potential.

There will be buyers out there, if he wants to sell. Remember, it's only a couple of months since Fulham (and all their debt) were bought.

I've shared the pic on FB and urged my Mag supporting friends to do the same.
