Surprisingly, the reason those places you mention aren't included in the population figures of Newcastle is that they aren't part of Newcastle.

He's playing the sympathy card, he doesn't want people calling for his head so he's trying to get people to feel sorry for him.

He's listening to Pardew and passing it off as fact, what a moron.

He's looking for sympathy, he's not getting any from me.

Ben Arfa was our best player at the start of the season, the team, yes team, had a couple of bad games and Ben Arfa was dropped and played out of position before being dropped again. No other player in our squad has to regularly reach the heights Ben Arfa must reach or get dropped. Pardew is a shit manager and he has and is badly managing Ben Arfa because he doesn't know how to manage him. With Pardew it's all about players adapting to him because he's too inflexible to adapt his approach and requirement to defend at all costs. Cronky still can't see that our fraud is shit at his job so the player must be at fault, it couldn't be any other way.

You've made a bit of a journey there. Popular though it is to blame Pardew for everything that's going wrong, we all know that Ben Arfa has his issues. It's not easy for an individual to change their ways, and I don't think that Hatem has met that challenge. I think the lad has psychological issues, and could do with some help in moving forward. It always seems to be one step forward, and then one step back. I came across this quote from him - "I’ve always had huge problems in respecting authority. I had a lot of frustration in my family when I was growing up, and took it out on others. “My father never told me he loved me. My life lacked generosity - while he always backed me he could never express his feelings. “My dad grew up without a father of his own. He copied the example he’d had, and I am trying to break the mould for the sake of my progress. “With hindsight I can see how people took me for someone overly sure of himself. I was giving off a negative vibe - I had bad energy. I was arrogant. I was a victim of my own impulsiveness. “I’ve done some terrible things in my career. They were more down to my attitude than to what I said, and they displeased the people around me.” Has he ever had help with this?

I don't think it will take going behind, I think it could get nasty if we're playing poorly and sitting back at 0-0.

I must admit that I thought that Hillsborough was caused by pissed up fans because that's what most of the media were telling us and I didn't think a cover-up on such a scale was possible in this country. I was wrong and the Liverpool fans must go on and on and on until justice has been handed out, good luck to the families.

Has this been posted? http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/mick-quinn-criticism-always-alan-6994613 Mick Quinn: Criticism will always be there and Alan Pardew needs to be able to deal with it Nobody outside of St James' Park is to blame for this run of results, says Chronicle columnist and former Newcastle United favourite Mick Quinn I don't like people laughing at Newcastle United. An awful lot of my time is spent defending this great football club. Saturday was a difficult one for me. I was in the talkSPORT studio in the evening, dissecting all that day’s results, when the lads in the office informed me of Alan Pardew’s comments about the local press apparently really going for the club. It was obvious he blamed the coverage, at least in part, for losing to Stoke City. And that’s when the laughter started. The guys were laughing at Pardew’s ridiculous words, about how he could possibly look to gain credibility by having a pop at ourselves. It was embarrassing. Then for maybe the millionth time, Newcastle United made national headlines for all the wrong reasons as his words went viral. I thought the back page of our sister paper the Sunday Sun was spot-on. It’s already being seen as iconic. When people all over the country looked at that strong message after reading Pardew’s quotes, I know which side they were on. I know which side the Newcastle fans are on. I don’t know the man, so I can’t say for sure why he came out with that. Maybe it is arrogance and he does have a reputation for it. He believes the blame for Newcastle losing so many games lies with anyone but himself. Sorry, but he is paid a s***load of money to be a Premier League manager and when he can’t motivate his players to beat Stoke, then I’m afraid that is only down to himself, what has gone on at board level and the players themselves. If we lose to Swansea, who is he going to blame? Will the grass be too long? Will it be because a south westerly wind was blowing across St James’ Park? There are 52,000 people who support that team at ever home game. Are they all wrong? I don’t think one of them has watched any of these defeats and said: “That’ll be the Chronicle’s fault.” Nobody likes being criticised. I got it whenever I went through a barren spell. I’ll tell you something, they were a long three games. But you take it on the chin. You promise to show people they are wrong. What you don’t do is deflect as Pardew has. I am no fan of the way Sam Allardyce sets up his team and have said so many times. He’s come in for a lot of over the top stick from the West Ham fans. What did he do? He went out and won some football. Pardew should have a go at that. We praised him to the hilt when he took us to fifth in the table. And even when I have criticised since the club failed to build on that, it was all about Mike Ashley spending more money in order to give the manager more players. It wasn’t having a go at Pardew. It was all about wanting him to be given more help. That has been this newspaper’s line for two years now. But did he ever call up and thanks us for the support? Did he ever come out in public and say he appreciated all the nice things written about him? I have worked in the media for some time now and nobody in football ever does that. But the moment things get a bit rough, then they have things to say about certain articles. Funny that. It is a privilege to be manager of Newcastle United. But it’s not an easy job. The criticism will always be there, however, you must be strong enough to rise above it. Pardew has been here three years now. He should know this. He should also be setting out his team to win at Stoke, not to get beat. The manager is not getting the best out of his players right now. That’s not good enough. That is why he is under pressure. He can’t blame that on other people. The fans have waited patiently for tangible success. They continue to be frustrated by the club’s inability to build on any success, even glimpses, that come their way. It’s the fault of any fan, pundit or journalist that two years ago we didn’t take the big step forward. Who but Ashley and then the manager is to blame for two seasons of most badly results? We haven’t even stood still when clubs who were miles behind us – Liverpool and Everton – are now top four. I hope we win on Saturday. But if we don’t, it won’t be the fault of this column.

I would rather somebody was present, recorded it and uploaded it to YouTube.

I don't think we've ever been safe without having any intention of finishing as high as possible and our fraud knew we didn't want to challenge for Europe.

Heaviest home defeat to the mackems for 35 years. He became the first Newcastle manager ever to lose 3 games on the bounce to the mackems. Liverpool beat us 6-0 at home last season, that was our 3rd worst home defeat ever. We've only lost by more than 6 once, the Liverpool defeat was our worst at home since 1925.

I'm actually looking forward to this, if we're struggling the atmosphere could be toxic.

Don't forget Cabaye. Actually i bet he was using him rather than Jonas He wasn't using anybody, he lied and as usual a liar was found out. He was put on the spot and clearly said the first thing that came into his head, this time his lie was obvious without even having to think about it. He lies about injuries, he lies about Europe, he lies about him having a winning mentality, he lies about how Cabaye going is the reason we're shit, he lies about him being positive and he lies about front foot football and other things.

His chin is bigger than my waist.

He's no longer trying to prove Pardew isn't shit, that makes a difference as they are now proving what we knew.

What was served up against Reading could easily happen again when we play Swansea, please happen.

Ended up having to take the p*ss tbh, it's just utterly weird. "Oh look, we lost 3-0 against Sunderland at home again. It reminds me of that time that we beat them 5-1 at home. I have that familiar feeling of ABSOLUTELY NOTHING." The only thing you can do is take the piss out of somebody like that.

You made your point well, the mackem is just bitter and rightly so.

That's a bit low, you don't even know if she's still alive.

£18 million. And if he'd just sold Cabaye and never hired Kinnear, it's still £18 million plus the threepence Kinnear was earning. He'd probably face more flack than peddling Kinnear to deflect anything from coming his way.

£18 million.

You just had to mention the singing section, you didn't need all of those words.
