Don't know if this is Giggs, but; http://i.imgur.com/Ub6odNc.jpg

The lack of goals is a real worry and the longer it goes on, the more it will heap pressure on him. It's something he can't hide from, regardless of how he tries to. And remember - he's an 'attacking manager'.

The longer this lack of goals drags on, it'll turn up the heat on Pardew. Can't squirm his way out of that one, though he will try no doubt.

Job done - Full Time. Un-inspiring, though Pardew will trump up the win no doubt.

Trying out best to shoot ourselves in the foot, as usual. Mistakes by Krul and Cabella nearly lead to a Gillingham goal.

Ayoze coming on. Still no run-out for Chucky. Pardew musn't be keen on him.

Rivierre - although might be on OG.

Great goal Was at work yesterday, when 'Slim' got this going. Fair play to all those involved - I think Ben Arfa got and understood.

Would like to think he'll get a start on Tuesday night, to see what he can do. Wont be in the least bit surprised if he's been Pardewed already though, as has been suggested.

What's he had to say post match, fellas? Can anyone transcript?

Thought we kept the ball on the deck a little bit more than usual, but it seems Pardew will be happy with the point he set us up for. Where are the goals going to come from, as I said in the match thread? He's still a very negative manager, regardless of how he and his supporters try to dress it up.

I'll be amazed if we manage a shot or two on target today. It's another line-up set to contain and nick a draw. Obertan on the bench again *christ*

It's all about control - Ashley has Sky and BT in his back pocket. If stuff like this is gonna be done - it's gotta be by leaflets or something - piece of A4, with a message on which everyone can hold up. Cameras will pick it up. Surely everyone can't be searched to remove something like that!

I still remember the thud of his boot when he connected, Jill. Could hear it up in Milburn Level 7.

Good lad, Alan!

Thing is though, the guy clearly doesn't know how to help himself. I'm sure he doesn't want to be like that. He needs help but maybe there isn't any help that can fix this. In a lot of cases, it's just unstoppable unfortunately. It will end as it appears it will. So sad to see. Really feel for his kids, must be awful to see your Dad like this in the national press/globally. Am sure his step-daughter won't mind that he's back in the news - she's made a career from his name, after-all.

Chris Evans and Baker will have fucked off a long time ago, am sure. Arseholes.

Either that, or be back here and looked after by his family. As I said elsewhere earlier, am not sure how all of his hangers-on can look themselves in the mirror.

He looks ill and it's sad that he's in such a bad way. A man at the mercy of his demons - I suspect he'll not see 50 (he's 47 now) You won't see the hangers-on for dust at the end.

LMA are as spineless as the FA. Banter? Pish.

Aye - shocking stuff.

Agreed.
