Didn't someone mention that there's going to be a banner of sorts?

This is probably wishful thinking but surely a loss today, especially with that line up and formation, will finally see the demise of Pardew? Everything about him is just fucking sickening. We'll be playing like headless chickens today, no doubt (the players probably have no idea what they're doing in training either).

Oh dear lord, just seen the lineup. Fucking hell. Incomprehensible. Heavy defeat on the way.

Wanted to go to this game but don't think I'm going to bother now. All signs point to an uninspiring performance alongside a heavy defeat.

Decided to go into the casino tonight to watch the Bayern-Man U match and most of the Man U fans there primarily blamed Rooney for their loss tonight

He's lucky that PSG have Ligue 1 pretty much wrapped up. Should have done a lot better than what he conjured up as "tactics" tonight. Blanc's terrible man. Hence why I said he's lucky to have Ligue 1 wrapped up (also edited my post above just there too). Would have been sacked a long time ago if it wasn't for the £100 million + team.

He's lucky that PSG have Ligue 1 pretty much wrapped up otherwise he would have been walked out in the summer. Should have done a lot better than what he conjured up as "tactics" tonight.

Well done Blanc.

I'm now officially resigned to Ben Arfa's inevitable departure in the summer - the victimisation from Pardew is clear. Ben Arfa only played half an hour on Saturday and came on when we were 2-0 down with the game all but lost - what is he expected to do in half an hour? Ben Arfa does have his faults (like any other player) but he always seems to be the only one in receipt of public criticism when others are seemly let off the hook - he deserves better than the cunt he is currently "managed" by. He needs to move on to pastures new for his sake. If/when he does go, we'll be letting go an immensely talented player and what a fucking shame that would be.

This news is about as exciting as Father Stone off Father Ted.

Good to see that Pardew can't instill any professionalism into our players. The season's over for us but a manager should still be expected to motivate his squad of players to play at their best week in, week out but instead the players we're seeing on the pitch have no passion or fighting spirit. Pardew's incompetence and his clear non-commitment to the cause have rubbed off on the players. No-one cares anymore at this football club and what a fucking shame that fucking is.

Reminded me of this article in Friday's Metro, was amazed we didn't get a mention: http://metro.co.uk/2014/04/04/football-fans-can-deal-with-suffering-just-dont-ever-let-it-be-dull-4688725/ I am truly amazed by the lack of coverage and basic understanding of the situation Newcastle fans find ourselves in by all but a few media sources. Even local radio stations are clueless about how the real fans feel and quite frankly the national media couldn't give a f***. We just suffer on in silence. People at work ask me about the football and I tell them it's f***ing desperate, without fail I get a response along the lines of "You must be really pleased you're top half though". This happens every single time for me too. One of the problems living somewhere that's not Newcastle I guess...

An accurate assessment.

Do kindly f*** off Alan.

Pardew and decency is a pipedream anyway. He will never walk on his own accord.

How...expected.

Time to get this over with.

Rob Elliot's long punts forward.

They're blatantly saying all that to stay in the club's good books - the last thing BBC Newcastle want is to have their commentary rights removed.

He's fast approaching Souness levels (especially in terms of freezing out players) - this is something I would not have expected to happen a couple of years ago (ie. comparing Pardew to Souness) but Pardew's managed it. Pardew's hyperinflated ego knows no bounds and it's to our detriment, much like how Souness' high opinion of himself had a negative impact on us.

That's poor, it's not really. Got goals across the team. Fellaini will score. I can feel it.

With or without Rooney, we're in for a hammering.

I feel nothing (but a hint of anger is setting in...). The sooner this season finishes the better. f***ing Pardew.
