Mick

The bit in bold really does my head in, not only does he think we're so thick we'll fall for it, we're also so thick that he can tell us complete opposites and fall for it. The best one was the Mick Lowes interview after the mackem defeat, he claimed that the players were tired then when Lowes pointed out that 5 players hadn't played in Europe he said they weren't up to speed. And People like Happy Face fall for this shite.

The first time I can find tiredness being brought up by Pardew was 30th October, we'd played 15 games in total at that time, only 9 league games.

How many had ours played before Pardew brought the subject up?

You would be right to do so as you would claim your winnings, he said it to Mick Lowes after the WBA game and they played it on Total Sport tonight.

Alan, you said that the squad we went into this season with was good enough to challenge for the Champions League. How s*** are the players we brought in during January if we are now challenging top 10 if we bring in a couple of new faces? Alan, you complained earlier this season that players were tired after playing in Europe, even though you were fielding virtually 2 teams a week, were you seriously expecting people to believe you? Alan, before Christmas you complained that the team had no continuity because of Europe, how can that be the case when less than a month earlier you were saying the players were tired because they were playing in both competitions? Alan, how do you know what is going to go wrong during a game, before a game? I only ask because you use the same excuses before and after. Alan, one of our fellow supporters knew you were coming to the club a month before you arrived, even though you have denied being lined up before Hughton was sacked, would you see the same thing happening to you as being poetic justice? Alan, you claim that we have good players and the fact that most are internationals seems to back that up, does that mean you're s****? Alan, how would you describe your style of management? Is it s***, negative, pre-historic, clueless, cowardly, mind numbingly boring, all of the above?

He said on BBC Newcastle that Shola benefited from the week off.

People did complain though. Where are these figures coming from?

More use of excuses.

I didn't, I rarely look in here and just came across it.

Bet we dont. We sort of did.

If he was put off 4-3-3 because of a couple of defeats then he would never use any formation, oh wait......

He probably means Wigan away 0-4 or Everton away 1-3.

We played our best football last season with Ba on the left, before a ball was kicked we were going back to 4-4-2 which gave Ba the opportunity to get the goals and a move. I'd put money on it that he would still be here if he was playing wide left from the start of the season.

Have a look at the teams we've been able to put out against the lesser teams who have either drawn with or beaten us and come back and blame injuries. Pardew doesn't deserve another season at all, that's madness, it's almost like wishing you had a heart attack.

People will read the shit he spouts and take it as read.

6 were over 30 last season.

Thank god for that. Hopefully we'll bounce back next year and possibly qualify for Europe. He's so full of shit, our highest played player is 40 games isn't it which could go up to 44? That's only 2 more games than last season when our most played player played 42.

Pardew's interviews from when he joined are full of hilarity. He probably followed both with "trust me."

That doesn't match the headline.

It was only a love bite, I don't know what the problem is.

This could get messy. Think it's worthy of a poll tbh. I'll name the first person to try and defend the Journal headline.

The headline is disgusting and unprofessional even in if it doesn’t come as a surprise. It wouldn't be the first time that the headline doesn't match the article and I hope this is one of those times.

This could get messy.
