You're forgetting Jeff Vetere, man.

Dennis Wise still forwarding those Youtube videos, I see.

Really, at this point, the man has become a caricature of himself and a professional football manager, even if people start fictionalizing his entire existence, who gives a fuck?

That phone bit can not be true He not heard of pockets? Probably uses an SD bag for life that he put on NUFC expenses.

That's what I don't understand, why even mention the meeting if all you're going to say is you discussed how to get the team playing better? How does the info help anyone, let alone Pardew himself? Aside from making his own position look weak, meaning he has to explain to his bosses constantly what his next tactical move is going to be.

His comments in full (from .com): "I’m very fortunate to have an owner that can see we are fighting for the club. "The fans are angry and want to see their team win. They don’t want to see us lose any more. We have a team that’s not quite functioning as we would like but there is nowhere to hide. "It’s like a boxing ring – there is nowhere to hide. People keep asking me are you going to come back? What are you going to do? Are you going to stay on the line? "Well I’m not going to hide and I don’t expect my players to hide. It’s about digging in at this point and we need to do it as a team. If we can show that, something will fall our way. "Well it's always a difficult scenario, particularly for family and friends. For me, I'm a manager that's kind of thick skinned - I don't ignore it. "It doesn't not penetrate me - of course it does, but I'm resilient to it and It makes me want to prove people wrong and I need to win games. "It's quite simple really, when all is said and done and therefore after the game it becomes difficult because if we haven't won and it'll be difficult again after Swansea. "But as I say, the most important thing is that i'm putting the fight in the players and they're showing the fight on the pitch. "And I don't think anyone who watched the Stoke game will say there wasn't fight in that team. "Yes, maybe a bit of quality and a bit more flamboyance in the team - a few more chances created for sure, but there's the fight and we need to carry that to every game between now and the end of the season. "I've had 'one game to go', 'two games to go' almost from the start of the season I have to just just ignore them sort of thoughts. “I spoke to the chief executive (presumably Managing Director, Lee Charnley). We discussed ways of trying to help the team. Ways of trying to find a solution to try and get this team playing to its capacity. "There’s really not much else to say today really. We are very focused on the game on Saturday and we want to win. We’ve focused very much this week on the mental side of the game and setbacks. “The goal we conceded against Stoke perhaps shouldn’t have been conceded but it was. And then we’ve focused on responses on the pitch. You respond to different criteria when you are under the pressure we are under. Media spotlight for example... you won’t leave us alone. "This is a team that is quite young. It hasn’t got the experience, certainly not the experience of the side that got relegated three or four years ago before my time. So we need to not ignore that and learn from those lessons. "I believe in these players. I believe in this team and the staff I have around me to turn it around. The most important thing is we need to get a win.” --------- So lemme get this straight... he's now open to suggestions and tactics from Charnley? What is the purpose of these meetings? And in regards to the flamboyance part (can't believe he used that word), erm, once again, Hatem Ben Arfa.

That's some serious Sopranos level bullshit.

Still haven't worked out why he hasn't walked. What kind of top manager in the most famous league in the world is willing to put himself through such indignity, abuse and hate from his own fans?

I wish I'd become a journo in England. Seems like an amazing job.

Eh? Who the hell are these guys? http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/29440064 Manager Alan Pardew's steely personality will help him cope with the intense pressure at Newcastle, according to two former team-mates. The Magpies are 19th in the league and fans are calling for Pardew's sacking, while sections of the media have suggested his future is not secure. "He's one of very few people who can handle the situation," former Crystal Palace team-mate Mark Bright said. Ex-Eagles captain Geoff Thomas added: "He won't chuck the towel in."

Well he is hardly going to have a go at the manager, it's only natural for him to defend Pardew especially as he has benefited from him being manager It's the former players defending him that I find absurd, they have no reason (that we know of) to defend Pardew Sports Direct vouchers?

All the King's men.

No, not at all. He's actually been one of our most reliable players when in form in his time here, and often his form coincides with the good form of the team. Bossed Old Trafford, first thing that comes to mind.

Will he be reprimanded for those comments? Fuck will he, just like Colo. For all Pardew's talk about putting faith in players who have 'heart,' he seems to turn a blind eye when his regulars openly talk about wanting to leave the club.

Can we recall MYM if a new manager comes in? Serious question. Not that he'd want to come back, of course. But we can FORCE him!

I for once want to see him smash in a diving header from a fucking free-kick or corner. All those years of work...

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-372858/Souness-sour-Pardew-attack.html :lol: We pissed all over them that day, man. WTF. We barely left second gear. Shearer and Owen owned their backline. Pards is on crack.

A cursory glance at our first XI shows who his favourites are, not a surprise this guy piped up to claim his position in the pack. Good enough for NUFC, but not good enough for CL Roma.

Till Christmas? Ashley is a freaking clown then, and we'll be down

Why do I get the feeling that some of those wankers who are still backing Pardew or shouted down the SP.com protesters are going to turn around and actually BLAME the protests when we eventually are in real trouble, for creating a negative atmosphere, etc.? "Didn't back the team... made it hard for the manager," etc. etc.

The Prince is back! Only a matter of time until the foren showboating charlie Janmaat is dumped for this good old fashioned RB. Dummett and Raylor ... loving it.

Oh well, two clubs we can't hope to compete with, of course. Sovren states and all...

Just turning the screw now, Ian.

Went past 3 players to set one up for Hull, innit?
