"If" doesn't come into it, he's gone.

I feel the same way, I no longer want my team to lose and that feels intoxicating.

I hope that he doesn't but I would probably prefer Coloccini to John Carver.

Home win and a decent atmosphere.

I know this will be bordering on masochism but I hope we hear nothing for at least 22 1/2 hours to boost the New Years Eve celebrations, the timing could be perfect.

I'm so proud that we have somebody like him representing us in front of the press, it's good to see he has his finger firmly on the pulse.

Coloccini should get nowhere near the managers job.

No, don't laugh, twat him.

We win a new manager, one who isn't Pardew.

It looks like he's gone, yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.

I've never been more confident that he's going than I am now, I'm sure it's the beginning of the end.

I think it's time to get the drink cooling in the fridge, I'll be amazed now if he's here much longer. Something is clearly going on between Pardew and Palace because we've long gone past a time when the club would have denied the story and I can't see anyway back for him in the long term. Even if he decides not to go he'll be on borrowed time as Ashley will hate his disloyalty, especially as he's stuck by him when most would have sacked him.

You're screwed up man, like all of us.

You almost want this to happen as much as we do.

I'm going to bed and I'm going to have the best sleep ever.

I'm not sure how you managed to get paranoid into the thread but well done.

It sounds like a bargain, we should throw in a website.

We should be paying compensation.

Have the club denied this yet or banned any of the media?

That'll probably be the only Newcastle goal seen at St James' today.

We're so worried about stopping Everton that we haven't got the balls to try and win, Pardew is such a negative bastard.

Agreed, every other possible manager will play Gouffran who offers nothing and they will have him on the wing where he's totally ineffective. Every possible manager will think Mike Williamson is a premiership defender and that Obertan is fit to do anything with a football. Add to that, every other manager will spend 80% of out training time on defence and base his game around stopping the opposition. Every other manager will gift the mackems 3 points per game when his arse drops out. Every other manager will try to sell at least 1 player per window by telling the press how difficult it is for our small club to hold onto our players. Managers man, they're all the same.

Excellent, Pardew can congratulate himself for picking him if he scores.
