This is a joke. Cisse on the right AGAIN? OMG

Anyone have a full transcript of his post match interview?

We are going down. Fuck this. Fuck this. Fuck.

Haven't seen such vitriol towards a manager from the crowd since Fat Sam. Really serious shit going down. Pards just lost the crowd and possibly his job.

I actually feel like crying. This is not fair. We and the players don't deserve this bad a manager.

People who don't despise Harry's guts clearly non-football Johnny Foreigners (coming from a Johnny Foreigner). Harry's a despicable droopface who has done enough to earn the vitriol he gets.

We should be signing both those fucking players. Fuck.

This is fucked up, this is seriously fucked UP. Wow. Harry is a fucking wheelin' dealin' cunt, a bigger cunt than we ever knew. Loic Remy, sure, but to sign M'VILLA as well?! What the fuck. Think they're gonna stay up? Those are two fantastic fucking signings, money or otherwise. I didn't see either of them coming, especially the latter.

What a fantastic performance from him, outstanding. Really fills the heart with glow when he's at his best. Now we need Debouche doing the same on the other flank.

Warren Barton on Fox Sports World I think just said he does not see a straight swap of Ben Arfa and Andy Carroll happening but you never know. I hope I completely dreamed that up, but you can't put anything past this club at the moment. The crazier rumour the more likely it's true. Fucks sake.

Lead the line, Mr. Williamson, you're now the top CB at the club!

Haven't read any of the last few pages but it must boil down to personal issues at home for Colo. Homesick, issues with the wife, whatever. The quotes from Pardew after the QPR game seemed to indicate that he was having a hard time focusing. Don't think Pardew is to blame for this one. Bang on. Looks like he's got some serious issues with his personal life, looking at how quickly he wants to leave England (almost as if he's had a run in with a mafia or a fling with a local waitress), and his representatives said he's leaving due to "personal matters." That's the only explanation for the swiftness of this decision to leave, the timing, and more importantly, to his old club where he can be close to his father.

We're screwed even if he goes in the summer. Who the hell do you replace him with? A commanding, fantastic CBs are incredibly hard to find, and cost actual money.

I hope we're not rushing him like we did with Ben Arfa, only to have him out for the rest of the season.

Anyone care at all about psychology when a bunch of players go on a losing run, here is a tidbit that rang true for the predicament Newcastle find themselves in, written for my other team which is in a similar position at the moment (Indian cricket team): All this can be extremely unsettling and distressing, yet there's something that hurts a thousand times more. At least till you get used to it. There's no parallel to waking up on the morning of a match with the sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach that no matter what you or your team does on the field, you'll end up on the losing side. You practise as hard as you can, chalk out plans, change the playing combinations, even stick to your superstitions, but all of it proves futile at the end of the day's play. While the loss of personal form hurts a great deal, you know you can regain it like you have in the past. But the loss of collective form in a team makes you feel as helpless as a kitten up a tree. In the summer of 2000 I played a season of club cricket in Holland as an overseas professional. When I first met the players, they were bubbling with excitement, positive energy and the desire to do well, and during pre-season training, we were very optimistic of a good performance. The season started with a couple of defeats but they didn't deter us from our goal of topping the league. We then lost a few more games but didn't lose hope. We told ourselves that the harder we worked, the luckier we'd get. Instead of practising once a week, as customary, we practiced three times. We were leaving no stone unturned. A few weeks passed and we still hadn't won a game. For me, though, right from the start, the runs were coming easily, and initially the losses didn't matter much. I consoled myself saying that there was only so much a single player could do to influence the outcome of a match. But a few matches later, still without a win, the runs that had earlier given me pleasure and satisfaction stopped mattering. We played different opponents, on different grounds and in different formats, but the results didn't change. By then the only thing that consumed us during the week was the impending loss on the weekend. We didn't talk about it. We thought if we didn't talk about it, it wouldn't happen. There's a breaking point for every team and once that is breached, the dressing room starts to disintegrate, because frequent losses bring out everyone's frustrations in a most unsavoury manner. The first few losses make you look inwards, because you want to improve individually and collectively, but if the trend continues beyond the tipping point, you start pointing fingers at others - your peers, the conditions, the coach, the media and so on. Another problem with being part of a perpetually underperforming team is that even the players who are in some reasonable form start losing it, because the team's defeatist mindset seeps into individuals. At the end of that torturous summer, we couldn't wait to part ways. And mind you, this was in league cricket in Holland, where there was no fan outcry and media trial following our losses. ----- Written by a now retired opening batsman, Aakash "No Relation To Michael or Deepak" Chopra. He was a fucking horrible opener so it's a bit like catching a glimpse of Mike Williamson's memoirs in a decade.

I wish for once the football world would move away from cliches: - sign players who scores goals: fans love him. - players wants more money - player gets poached by richer club - player slates former club and has a dig - former fans hate him Why does anything other than this rarely happen? Do footballers just not give a fuck?

I don't see us beating Norwich

How long have you been on this forum? Who here has the signature which will sort him out?

If he did actually throw Santon under the bus publicly, he's a worse manager and a worse human being than I had thought him to be. Way to ruin a young player's self-esteem, confidence and faith in his position.

How are so many people just blaming the ref for our loss? The team and Pardew have to take the blame for this one. Second half subs showed the workings of a mad man. Those subs... incredible. John Carver will do a better job from the current showing.

No, seriously, WHERE IS OUR DEFENCE?

Erm, I'd leave Bigi on. :S

It's feeling like KK's team, but at the wrong end of the table.

Well we knew that was coming.
