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.

That's it, you've got it. He has and he's right, this isn't aimed at you personally. Fans who are so laid back about Pardew are facilitating his stay at the club because it reduces the pressure the fraud is coming under.

Agreed, he should be gone before the next game and we should wait until the summer to replace the fraud. We are told we have money to spend so now would be the ideal time for Ashley to bin him, even if by binning him we bring in one less player to offset the pay-off.

I don't know if it's been mentioned but our sack of shite referred to Man U as "United."

Shouldn't you be in the Pardew thread, sticking up for your hero?

What are you doing that is better?

We've got to be realistic about where we are, piss off.

At 2-0 we were still in the game, liar.

It's no wonder we lost so heavily today after having such a tough game in Europe midweek.

He hasn't been on yet, he's still getting slaughtered off the fans.

The fraud's on soon.

Anderson is killing him

Get this useless bastard out.

Maybe a shit manager has made a shit decision, have you not thought that is a possibility?

Are you going to answer my question or not? No - because what you've asked for is a pretty wide-ranging summary of Pardew's performance - save to say that I don't think absolutely every single thing he's ever done at Newcastle has been s***. Simple question for you: Do you think any other manager currently managing in the Premier League would have played Dan Gosling today whilst HBA sits on the bench? Knowing very little about the exact situation regarding Ben Arfa, but knowing that Pardew wants to win games and would probably play him if he thought he'd help to bring that about, probably yes. Whether he's right or not, whether he's managed Ben Arfa poorly or not etc etc are all separate questions. And now, because this forum is the way it is, I have to go out of my way to emphasise that I don't necessarily agree with Pardew on this.

He's been handed a team which has regularly been loaded with international players, poor Pardew.
