We finished 13th and reached the QF of the UEFA, didn't we? I can't say if this season is worse or not until the last ball has been kicked.

It was probably worse, hardly far worse.

His NUFCtv interview: We can't pass at St James' and it's like a bowling green.

Yes, do want calling it?

They're not. 36 points is the maximum both teams can get. Wigan are on 31 and Aston Villa are on 34. We are on 37 so we are 'safe' from finishing 20th or 19th. I hate that song.

Dropped 3 places, that's all you need to know.

What are you on about? I said that anti-Pardew stuff would be OK if we were behind against Liverpool, the damage will have been done by then.

I can't remember any manager fail so badly yet get so much support, it'll not last though because I have heard more going against him match by match recently.

The two do not go hand in hand, I've never at any stage shown any support at the match for Pardew and I haven't been to a match where I haven't supported the players.

You can get behind the team without getting behind the manager, the two things aren't linked.

Who is suggesting that we do that?

Agreed, we should applaud like performing seals.

He's an ignorant, arrogant, useless bastard.

I don't know that we can't get a decent manager in and niether do you. What I do know is that if he's here next season I'll probably be lending my ticket out because I don't want to waste my time watching shit he has us serving up and I don't want that. And if Sunderland stay up, appointing a new manager will have worked because they looked doomed with the negative bastard they had.

If we keep Pardew we're going to endure shite, if we get rid of him we could improve, I'd like to take that gamble.

I really think he'll get massive stick next week if things don't go well against Liverpool.

He's telling people what to think and some will take it all in.

This result has left me feeling numb, this was supposed to be the game where we could watch a reaction to the derby defeat and it lasted 45 minutes. We were humiliated last week and I expected more of a reaction and it just didn't happen for long enough.

You, Stu and Ian, it's not too difficult.

Aye, I noticed. There'll be very few people in that ground, other than a few bairns, who don't know exactly what they're seeing. They'll have been going there long enough to know that. To belittle them because they're not spending their days whinging about it on the internet is scandalous, for me. Yet you clearly don't know what you're seeing and haven't all season. Well, I've never claimed to be as good at watching football as you, like. Two seasons, by the way, I enjoyed last season, remember? He said this season, remember?

I've gone with 7, Wigan being in the cup final could do us a massive favour.

The window lickers will fall for it hook line and sinker.
