mick lowes of radio newcastle is currently on his knees outside dereks office begging him to make this official policy, so he can respect him. Probably true that. Was absolutely fuming when I heard the fat twunt effectively telling them to get on with it, live on national radio.

If we end up in Europe at the end of the season, he'll bloody deserve one mind. /fully expect us to start tumbling back down the table at any moment.

Wasn't there some lad in here who worked at the offices opposite? Fancy getting a few fuck off projectors and plastering the whole stadium with 'St James' Park's? Go on, go on, go on, go on. Do it.

Bringing in all these jet washers is costing the club money and the longer it goes on, the less chance we have of buying players and winning the league.

Indeed. They make the unwelcoming bare 'arena' walls come alive in a delightfully subtle manner. Tacky, cnuts.

Countless. Aye, right.

Not that Nile would do anything similar, not 2 days ago, no sir.

Some people did underestimate the players coming in. Some people are possibly overestimating how good our players actually are after a very good start to the season.

Apparently depends on whether God has a soft spot for Wolves. I'd be amazed if he/she/it did like.

Thought this would be about him throwing his hat in for the Wolves/England job, or is he just going to remain an Soccer Circus/ESPN pundit from now on?

Disappointing. Celtic would have been funnier.

'kin hell.

Actually, I think he might save Lennon and Defoe, just in case. We might see: Friedel Walker King Dawson BAE Kranjcar Parker Modric Bale Saha Adebayor I think it is unlikely he will start with Parker and Livermore, as we're at home. I'd be delighted with that line up tbf. Should reduce the tonking you'll give us to 3 - 1.

He'd fit well on here then. Fkn man crush central.

"In England, it is zero pressure."! Not a lot there I don't think, for the actual full interview with Demba Ba, no idea how, but you have to read the latest 'France Football' on Friday, February 10.

Much more accurate than the win %age method. Pardew's record is good but probably even more so considering what he was working with 2nd half of last season. What's that supposed to mean? Pardew has done extremely well but let's not pretend he took over a shite side like most replacements do. Lets not pretend that after we lost HBA and Carroll, he didn't have his first half a season with the worst strike force to grace the books of any modern day NUFC related football historian. /he's done well, end of.

From Happy Face on TT - Premier league points won only (top flight), no cups.... 61.54% - Kevin Keegan (143/78/30/35) 53.19% - Sir Bobby Robson (188/83/51/54) 50.00% - Alan Pardew (46/18/15/13) 47.44% - Glenn Roeder (52/21/11/20) 45.24% - Kenny Dalglish (56/19/19/18) 41.27% - Sam Allardyce (21/7/5/9) 39.58% - Chris Hughton (16/5/4/7) 39.39% - Graeme Souness (55/16/17/23) 36.84% - Kevin Keegan 2 (19/5/6/8) 36.59% - Ruud Gullit (41/11/12/18) 34.72% - Joe Kinnear (24/5/10/9) 20.83% - Alan Shearer (8/1/2/5)

No reason as such, though he did say they had some injury problems that morning (Thurs). "Are you exited by the two Dembas playing together. Yeah I am... not sure about this game, but I am going forward." Think he may go one up top, or it may just be pre match mind games of course. /He totally has a man crush on the way Tottenham play and Bale in particular; Laughs at comparisons as we've "had to grind out a few recently".

Pardew pretty much said in his press conference that Cisse and Ba are unlikely to start the game together. If that's the case, how about: Krul Simpson Willo Colo Santon Perch Guthrie Obertan HBA Jonas Ba Essentially the system we used at Fulham and Brighton, but with Jonas moving over to replace Best, Ben Arfa coming in behind Ba and Obertan playing on the right. Also means Pardew can use Obertan to double up on Bale when we defend if he doesn't trust Ben Arfa to do it. Ticks all my boxes.

Pardew pretty much said in his press conference that Cisse and Ba are unlikely to start the game together.

If the FA offer £35m for Pards, I think we'd be mad not to take it and invest in 2, maybe even 3 Senegalese managers.
