Mick

It's far too late for that.

Said that before he passed. He was such a leader of men on the field and seemed both intelligent and humble enough to be willing to learn. Going from Pardew to Speed would have been like winning the lottery.

Your memory's shot mate, he was a fully grown man when he first signed for us.

I stopped reading after the bit in bold.

I was OK with Hughton getting sacked here in some ways as an upgrade would have been good for the club. To sack him and replace him with our current fraud is beyond belief.

After losing to Man U. “The last few results have been tough games for us. The opposition have been above us and we’ve not had any breaks. First goal was essential for us and we didn’t get it." Liar. Before we played Southampton. 8 Newcastle United 9 Southampton

From .com: Chris Hughton's last fourteen games: 13 points (7 losses, 4 draws, 3 wins. 10 goals for, 20 against) Alan Pardew's last fourteen games: 13 points (9 defeats, 1 draw, 4 wins. 9 goals for, 27 against) Edit, I've seen it's in the Hughton thread, it should also be in here.

Christ, my exact feelings.

I've already given him mine so can't do anything in that respect, I can still decide not to go against Swansea.

He was.

That's what you get when you spend 4 out of 5 training days on defence.

How bastard ironic, "we're desperate for free points."

He's averaging less points per game than Hughton was when we sacked him during our first season up.

Our shitty managers record in the league: Played 131, Won 50, Drew 29, Lost 52, Goals for 171, Goals against 202, Points 179, Points per game 1.14.

That case-sensitive? Yes it f***ing is.

The best money we could spend to strengthen us for next season would be to pay Pardew off. If the rumours are right then it will cost us the same as signing one player and singing one player will bring us less of a bounce than replacing the fraud.

I thought the same, he stood out amongst the others who were mainly terrible.

But he has been Pardewed, he said on the radio that he's been asked to change his game and defend more.

How do you know? We don't have any system, we're hopeless at everything.

I wasn't being serious.

His posts are starting to make sense to me, like. Maybe we're getting dumber. Aye, it's not as if you could.

I'll be more than happy to not turn up if this gets going.

He's a coward and hides, even when he turns up for interviews, he hides. "That's not us." "We don't normally play like that." "Everybody knows I'm a winner." The list could go on and on and on.

I think the crowd were very close to snapping today, quite a lot of booing could be heard from the Gallowgate, especially when Shola came on. I left a couple of minutes early (third time this season, third time ever) and everybody who came out while I waited for people were ripping into Pardew. I think he escaped a bit of venom today because he wasn't near the pitch and remained unseen.
