Who're keeping the torch alive, at least. I hope their goal of enlightening the masses succeeds, so far seems to have only resulted in unnecessary divisions within the support, bizarrely. I hope they keep going and not let this get them down.

All good points. I have no idea what's happened to our support, we should be like how the Villa fans were to get Ellis out, they were out marching every fucking week.

You're giving him too much credit I think. He's only playing because there's nobody else, due to Cabella being the latest scapegoat. Obertan and Ameobi are all that's left in the "fret" department and 1 is injured. The reason Cabella has been dropped is because he's played fucking horribly in most games he's played not because he's been made a scapegoat Who hasn't played horribly in most games? Obertan, Tiote, Cisse, Janmaat, Aarons, Perez anyway. Look I hate Pardew as much as anyone but on form Obertan had to start ahead of Cabella. Obviously Gouffran shouldn't be starting but I think if we had Cristiano Ronaldo available Gouffran would still start ahead of him on the left wing How is Cabella supposed to get used to the league then? Well if you're Pardew and you haven't won a game in the league are you going to start a guy who needs to get used to the league who probably won't play well or somebody who is in decent form Or kept the players who were used to the fucking league and could have us pushing the top ten places. Oh right, loan those lazy cunts out as they don't put in a 'tacko.'

Alan Pardew is that bit of wetness that stays with you all day when you fart in the morning and have to leave for work and have no time to wipe it again. So you live with it and walk funny, regretting your eagerness the previous night to wipe clean the chicken madras plate nobody else could finish. FML.

What!? http://www.newcastle-online.org/nufcforum/index.php/topic,95215.msg5233128.html#msg5233128

I love how he goes out of his way and gets into logical twists and turns to big up his favourites, but I remember that blinder HBA had and he came out after the game saying "people said he played well, but I don't think so..." and then even coming out with the whole "he was a zero out of ten for me," for Armstrong the other day. WTF is wrong with this guy? Psychopath.

He's right in a way, I have trouble breathing when I see his name on the teamsheet.

“Sometimes he can be absolutely breathtaking.” Yes. Alan Pardew just said this about Gabriel freakin' Obertan.

"They are essential to us and our doctor has looked into the problems that might arise," he said. So if they weren't essential and were fringe players, we would have left them in Africa?

After Swansea Pardew had the chance to build a few bridges but in typical manner choose to block any questions due to previous media criticism. One Premier League manager told me that night: “He’s lacking class with stuff like that.” ----- Wonder who that is. As shoddy as the writing was, all good points in that article from the one we are so accustomed to lampooning.

Can someone parse that to English for me, please?

I like how Puma, the cunts, have been on their case to raise ticket prices

I remember it all very well. And the distaste with which he treated the captain's armband. As soon as Bobby was sacked he was the first one to say he was shattered and was completely remorseful, in public, about his behaviour. Either way, the point still stands, simply by sticking around at the club a lot longer, he did more than Cabs. I wish we'd had Cabs for longer, but he was always in his own version of 'I'm a celebrity, gemme outta here..."

Aye definitely. Different kind of players anyways. They can easily be in the same team and cause havoc.

Bosingwa that season... I'm sure he received many gift baskets from all those teams he saved from the drop, including us.

People are now saying Cabaye has done more for Newcastle than Kieron fucking Dyer I love how both through the transient nature of memory and the retardation of the medium that is the Internet forums history is rewritten. Regardless of what you think of Dyer, and most of what you said is true, he did about 5000x more than Cabaye ever did for this club. Just on performances, assists and goals alone, not even including the fact that he didn't go on strike because he was denied a move that was promised to him, and didn't look for an out at the first opportunity. I love Cabaye, but people need to stop this revisionist bullshit. It's taking on the Confederate South proportions where they claim to have won the war. Edit: Have people forgotten the FULL season when we finished 16th and Cabaye did fuck all? He was invisible most of that fucking season bar a few goals and assists.

Being a Dortmund fan right about now sounds absolutely awesome, and having just come across this article yesterday, this thread seems to be the perfect place for it: ---- http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/29624410 Borussia Dortmund's slogan "echte liebe" - or "true love" - says it all. The final whistle goes at the majestic Westfalenstadion. Dortmund have lost at home. And yet none of the players disappear down the tunnel. None of the fans leave the ground. Defiant, determined, the 25,000 fans who religiously flock to the mythical south stand continue to serenade their team. Manager Jurgen Klopp joins his players on the edge of the penalty area, where they stand for five minutes in awe, gazing up at one of European football's great sights, the "Gelbe Wand" (Yellow Wall), a sea of luminous shirts, scarves and flags. Towers of smoke rise from pockets of fans and waves of noise cascades down the steep terrace and onto the players. This love is unconditional. Moments such as this are why Dortmund are one of the last great romantic clubs. The tickets - and beer - are cheap, the atmosphere is raw and seductive and fans, not finance, come first. When Dortmund reached the 2013 Champions League final, the club received 502,567 applications for 24,042 tickets. The entire city has a population of 580,956. True love, indeed. Football is all encompassing here, it reaches ever facet of life. One fan even leaves the club shop having just bought a Borussia Dortmund-branded lawn mower. The chance to experience this love affair is attracting more than 1,000 fans from England to every home match. It is a scarcely believable figure, but walk around the stadium and British accents are audible among the 80,000 at Signal Iduna Park. "We jump on the Channel Tunnel train," says Matthew Gerrard, from Kent. "We make a weekend of it. With tickets, accommodation, transport, this trip will cost £65. When you think it cost me £51 to see the Arsenal game last season, you can see the benefits." Another group soaking up the beer and bratwurst outside the stadium are wearing Stoke shirts, while there are also fans from Aston Villa, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Port Vale. When you discover that the majority of Dortmund's 55,000 season-ticket holders have paid an average of £9 to see this match, this influx begins to make perfect sense. Jack, a Chelsea fan, is here with two of his friends from London. "Prices are too high in England," he says. "But here, everything is cheap. It's a better experience for the fan and the atmosphere is incredible." Dortmund are increasingly aware of the English invasion. The club has even begun to conduct stadium tours in English. "It's amazing," says marketing director Carsten Cramer. "It's always nice when English fans tell me that including the cost of a flight, two beers and a ticket, they do not pay more than a match in England. "Why are tickets cheap? Football is part of people's lives and we want to open the doors for all of society. We need the people, they spend their hearts, their emotions with us. They are the club's most important asset." It is a phrase that many clubs use, but two stories demonstrate why it is, perhaps, far more than words here in Dortmund. In recent months, the club's caterers asked them to increase beer prices for the first time in three years. But Dortmund said no. "What is the economic sense for the club to increase the price by 10 cents?" Cramer added. "For the overall economic success of the club it is not important to increase the price of a litre of a beer. It is still money, but not a lot to the club. But it does affect our fans, if they are spending their money match after match." ... (continued on link)

I for one hope he gets injured after every few great games for us so he can avoid being Pardewed. The injury has worked wonders for Cisse.

Has to be a wind up.

Dummett out, tbf.

This is getting into thread hijack territory now. You hate Colo, we get it. And honestly, you've convinced us, and your campaign to change hearts and minds about the argentine has been successful. Speaking purely for me. But I do get it in a way, I feel like a broken record about HBA, and can see people saying the above to me. Back to Mbiwa. No doubt about it, he's gone, not coming back, and we are possibly going down with the two clowns in the center of defense and the head honcho in the dugout.

We always seem to have at least one latin player on our books that nobody actually sees the existence of.

I think he's talking about Dummett when he's talking about young players being massively successful here under him. Can't think of anyone else.

Astonishing what this man does to talent and youth. Amazing. How did he even get his coaching licence?

A 2-2 draw at Leicester at home and the cunt will be gloating. Ugh. I just truly hope we don't draw / flukily win that game. You can tell his favourites will be throwing the kitchen sink to get him a win.
