Big Geordie

Ben Arfa and Armstrong on \o/ Lets hope we'll see a couple of good cameo's.

He won't fetch Ben Arfa on yet as we aren't 2-0 down. Only then.

"Get out of our club' coming over loud and clear. also "We want Pardew out" Radio Newcastle have ignored these since kick off.

More chants for Ben Arfa, I can hear on Radio Newcastle

Stoke score - freak goal by Eric Peters. Cross drifted over Krul's head - wind assisted. Game over.

Crouch hits the post \o/

Radio Newcastle on in background, and FM14 for me at the moment.

It perpetuates the myth.

Running out of ideas - hence the desperation of 352. I hope he gets a load of shit from the travelling fans today. Lads and lasses, I salute you - travelling a long way to get us watched stuffed whilst going through the motions.

352 with no creativity throughout the side. Tactics will be howking it long to Shola and hoping. 3-0 defeat.

You call up TS, no doubt you'll have been told by Ando that we're obviously comparing him to Rooney, Owen et al then if we start him now. We'll see.

If you are good enough, you are old enough. Pardew just spouting more rubbish.

Yup - would love to have a read too, please.

He'll not play for us again, man. Won't want to get injured and put in danger his chance of going to the WC and also getting a move in the summer.

There you have it. Hopefully to signal a rush for more season tickets to be cancelled. Those running the club are completely deluded and living in their own fucking la-la-land.

Remember - he has previous. Tevez and Mascerhano at West Ham.

With regards to Rangers - could he need syphon off some of our profits (as in, paying back some of the loan) - pass is through MASH and then on into Rangers? Not sure if that is legal or not and indeed a goer.

This is exactly what you said would happen on TS, make sure you ring them again at the weekend and hammer the point home. I'll try and get on later in the week, as am at work tonight. Would be good if someone else could ring in tonight to make the point.

http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport...-blame-6925292 Alan Pardew must take blame for his team's appalling run Apr 06, 2014 13:12 By Neil Cameron Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew struggles to find the words after yet another dismal defeat t was as if Alan Pardew didn’t know what to say, or perhaps what he would be allowed to say. Speaking after a humiliating defeat is becoming second nature to Newcastle United’s beleaguered manager, and yet he struggles to find the words. Pardew left his seat in the stand with the score at 3-0. Inside was probably the safest place for him to be. Most fans now want him out. This is inarguable. Manchester City, Sunderland, Swansea, Tottenham, Everton, Southampton and now Manchester United have inflicted heavy defeats on his team. For all that the buck stops at the owner, Pardew cannot escape much of the blame. His team lack motivation, desire and are all over the place in terms of set-up and tactics. Not that he was going to admit to that last night. He hasn’t been anywhere near properly backed by Mike Ashley, who undermined his manager with the appointment of Joe Kinnear, and has left him with a shell of a squad. Not that Pardew can say that or he would be out the door. So instead, after a 4-0 defeat from a far from great Manchester United team, he choose to blame referee Kevin Friend. Pardew said: “It’s a disappointing result for us today. It was pretty tight first half with both sides trying to find their way. I thought the first goal was offside, in the build up, and it wasn’t a foul. The goal settled them down and we couldn’t get into the game. The second goal was a mistake and it was an uphill task from there.” It was a foul. Dan Gosling got the wrong side of Darren Fletcher, a player not known for diving. Pardew in a short and not so sweet Press conference, added: “We’ve got 46 points and we need to push on. We’ve had three heavy defeats now. “The last few results have been tough games for us. The opposition have been above us and we’ve not had any breaks. First goal was essential for us and we didn’t get it. “It’s tough. I understand the fans’ frustration because they want to see exciting football here and we’re just not producing it at the moment. “We need to gather ourselves and put on a performance at Stoke which is above the last three. There were some decent individual performances, but United were above us. “I thought the commitment was on the pitch today; there was a lot of good commitment. “We actually had some decent performances in and around that performance, but United were too good today. “The last few results, particularly the last three, have been tough games for us. “We had chances today. The first goal was essential for us, I thought, and we didn’t get it.” And if Newcastle don’t score the first goal, they tend not to score at all. Joey Barton said in an interview with the BBC last week that he believed Pardew to be in the top three managers in the country. He also said that his former boss was known to fancy himself. If Pardew is to prove Barton right, and in the process not damage his ego, then he must ask Ashley for £40million at least this summer to prove himself once again. And then he’s got to get the team playing the Newcastle way; exciting, attacking and winning football. Not like this. Newcastle have been appalling this year. Pardew may yet get time to save his career at the club. But right now, it’s difficult to see that happening. Another manager under pressure still is David Moyes. He may not be at Old Trafford for much longer himself, depending on what happens in Germany on Wednesday night against Bayern Munich, but at least he has one gem of a player to call upon. Moyes, able to rest many of his first-choice stars, said: “Juan Mata played really well. He’s coming up with the goods.”

The scape-goating continues then eh!

Disappointing for him, but I guess Norwich had to try something. Been let down by some of his players - van Wolfswinkel in particular.

Was a foul, but tough shit on the scousers.

You never know - what happens on the day, etc. Either way, they've had a terrific season.

I wouldn't be surprised if he uses us to 'pay' for Rangers and whatever plans he has planned for them.
