  1. Think most people are fairly certain he's not. The split comes between those who want to force change, and the the large percentage in the ground that will always show support knowing full well that if the results despite their support are shite, the manager will inevitably go anyway. There's considerably more people flirting with the former camp purely on the basis that Pardew should already be on his bike by now. That doesn't make the other group idiots though. That's not really true under Ashley though. He's much quicker to get rid of popular managers whilst only heart attacks seem to take out the unpopular ones who are leading us to relegation. Agreed, that's why I said more people are loosing patience and moving to the 'force change' camp.

Yes but showing support for a manager who isn't in the club's best interest isn't supporting the club is it? I wasn't suggesting they were showing support for the manager tbf.

That doesn't make the other group idiots or mean they're actually happy with the situation.
  4. All you can do is address the symptoms? Nah bollocks to that. There's no cure as such, but you can damage it, and in many cases cut it out and remove useless lump for good. The analogy is often offensive, but in and of itself fairly sound.
  5. We'd just lose in the next round, might as well lose while the pressure is on, what little pressure there is. Aye true enough. It's still our only realistic chance of winning something tho at the mo, and (even under this knacker) there's no way I'd give that up. No idea how many more chances some of us'll get to see.
  6. Wherever you lie on the Pardew hate scale, surely there's nobody out there so disillusioned they'd want us to lose a cup game?
  7. Unprecedented stuff today. Gotta say I'm surprised he's made a statement. Anywhere online i can hear this yet?

    What part of 'discuss it like men' or 'speak to him' suggests fisticuffs? Are you unfamiliar with the meaning of that phrase? Think it's clear as day from the article that the bloke had no intention of going down there for a punch-up.

  10. Wish people would quit trotting out this line like it's fact. Where is it coming from? Playing like crap does not automatically equate to them hating their manager. /otherwise, top post.
  11. He could win me back. It would take a remarkable change in both character and philosophy, assurances from our few remaining decent players that contrary to the obvious, they'd die for his cause, and an immediate and sustained series of improbable results leading to quantifiable league and cup success and a renewed sense of pride in the club and its people... but hey, my heart's not stone.. He could do it!
  12. Thanks VI. All the best Jonas. Thinking of you dude.
  13. Work, now. Tonight we dine on Youtube.
  14. HTT could knock up a dossier? And yet.... I didn't even do the Hitzfeld dossier! Sure... That's why I thought of you. More chance of it working this time.
  15. http://i.imgur.com/hT50k95.gif That gif. Fkn hell. :lol:
  16. Astonishing vitriol for a good lad and a perfectly decent back up keeper. Nice to hear he's lost a tyre or two.
  17. Should stick on the Newcastle-Online match thread tbh.
