Wasn't there something a couple of years ago that finishing in the top 10 was a target every season? I wonder if he will be sacked when we finish well away from 10th this season. Despite the mess that is this season, I still fear for next year if Pardew is still here because if we lose some of our better players in the summer and have a team of lesser quality we are definitely going down.

I can't see us getting anything from Norwich, they play much better football and they'll know Newcastle are there for the taking. If they score the first goal we're fucked. Reading should be a win, if it isn't we're doomed. Villa is anybodies guess, it'll simply be a case of who wants it more. It doesn't help really that we're going to their back yard too, because it would be typical of us to turn up and give a shit side their only win in God knows how long. There really are no easy games in the Premier League, especially with a side extremely low on confidence and managed by a clueless manager. It's 50/50 for me in terms of relegation. I still think we have good enough players to keep us up, but then again looking at the fixture list I just can't see where we can string a good run of games in. After January our next two games are Chelsea and Spurs ffs. Our away form is the worst in decades and we also have City, Liverpool and Arsenal breaking up the remaining games after the EL. It's going to be a horrible end to season either way because we'll either go down or stay up in and around 14th. I just hope we can break away a bit and get in to the later stages of the EL or FA Cup. That way if we look to be safe in March or so we can at least look at one of the cups in a bid to bring some excitement back in to this dreadful season.

Our squad etc were worse last time around, but the fact is our league form was better then than it is now (I think we've two points less now than we had at the same stage of the season in 08/09). Despite the Keegan crisis, Kinnear and having a desperate squad of players, we're actually doing worse now. It's unforgivable. People can look at how we went down last time compared to what we have now all they want, as things stands we're heading for the drop.

And with the players we have it's just unforgivable.

I don't think we can afford to take that risk We have more chance of losing all 3 than getting 7 points with Pardew in charge.

We must be the only club in the division that won't sack a manager for that.

Since Liverpool now: DDLLDLLWLLLWLLL

And the mackems beat City a few days ago. Other teams around us are picking up points in unlikely places, while we're just dropping points absolutely everywhere. Very worrying.

Pardew must want sacked with that shite. Just begging for another defeat.

Do Everton usually turn up in a team limo?

He'd probably sooner sign a new contract than leave and come here.

So now that Ba is off, which one of our players will the media turn their attention to next?

The mackems

West Brom 1 V 1 Fulham Man City 2 V 0 Stoke Swansea 2 V 1 Aston Villa Tottenham 2 V 0 Reading West Ham 2 V 0 Norwich Wigan 0 V 1 Man Utd Southampton 1 V 2 Arsenal Chelsea 3 V 0 QPR Liverpool 2 V 0 Sunderland Newcastle 2 V 3 Everton

aye mate, i'm sure if your employer treated you like shit you'd think "oh well, i guess thats okay, seeing as they pay me" dosn't matter what agenda you've got against Shola, hes still a human being and an employee of the club, no need for a manager to do that in any organisation, which i doubt Pardew did. Lets be serious, most people get treated worse and they only get Shola's weekly wage in a year.

Can't wait for 442 with Cisse and Shola with Ranger coming on for Cisse on the 75th minute

Sucking Ashley's cock ffs :lol:

Defeats will be hurting the players and filling their heads with doubt. I don't think any drop is form is related to a rift among the players and/or staff.

The team looked very together when they were celebrating the goals lately tbf. Even Ba was all smiles and he supposedly leaving in the next few weeks.

Ben Arfa Ba Cisse Tiote Cabaye Marveaux Coloccini Krul Santon Taylor Anita Look at those players man, our best crop there, not including cracking youngsters like Bigi. How the fuck are we even talking about relegation? We've had injuries but most of those are still playing and those that aren't were playing for at least half the games we've played this season. I hope we sort this out soon man, because I can see us losing a lot on that list in the next 8 months if we dont.

When was the last time we shipped 11 goals in 2 games? Last time we shipped 7 in a game? Last time we lost 6 away games in a row? Longest winless away run in over 30 years now. Last time came from behind to win? Last time scored from a corner? Why bother biting?

Games 10 to 20 man.

Nothing we can do about the clause? We could go out and sign another fucking forward to keep ourselves covered, rather than wait for him to go then be up shit creek.
