They only really had from about 1998 to 2002 as a relevant Premier League team from what I remember. Or are you talking like from the 70s. Unfortunately I am old enough to remember Don Revies Leeds.

Leeds, their demise still makes me laugh. I'm old enough to remember them as the top club and its still like seeing Manu or Liverpool spending years out of the top flight to me. I love it. Pardew out(to keep on topic)

50 years of spawn. 50 years of buying and keeping your best players whenever possible, to ensure you are always one of the best. Simple as that.

I think Pearson is from the same stable as Pardew. Would have sacrificed offensive players to try steal a point. Never rated him. Good for setting the cones out and shouting on the training ground perhaps.

Kept looking out for it, but no. Imagine they were waiting till they were winning. Stewards probably thought they were undercover SackPardew people. Thats it make the stewarts the escape goats again.

The pod people and wongamongs will be out in force after this

Marc Albrighton to do us 2nd half. A player we could have had on a free from Villa, if we had anybody looking anywhere but France for players.

That somes him up alright sums 'DOH' !

Heading for a sell out. Must be the pod people. The Invasion of the body snatchers has actually happened. they're all over FB too. Its scary how many people seem actually unaware of our plight.

Plus, he doesn't even like us.

Does anyone still believe Ashley cares what happens to us. I don't think he does. He is quite content to let Pardew take us down. As a gambling multi Billionaire, relegation won't affect his lifestyle one iota.

In the unlikely event that Cisse, Sammy and Obertan were to continue to show good form and rescue Pardew, They would be sold under Ashleys scorched earth tenure rather than allow us to challenge. I think we all realise that by now don't we.

10 Ashley doesn't care any more man, he hates us as much as we hate him. He'll take the hit of relegation to see us suffer. I believe the FCB stuff has p*ssed him off more than some think. If he cared he would have sorted it by now.

Me too. Dortmund, Basel and effing Wolves

I would just go for Ashleys chin if I could get within punching distance.

Were'nt some of the 'family' partial to breaking into some of the players homes while they were away on European duty if I recall correctly a few years ago. Those lovable cheeky scallywags, make sure you lock up and set the alarm Mario.

He should have gone at the same time as Simpson but our owners lack of ambition ensured our build up play stayed paralysed while we remain with either of them still in the side.

As expected he has looked calm and accomplished with good players all around him and playing in his proper position. No doubt helped by a manager who has probably filled him with confidence by saying the right things to him to prepare him tactically before sending him out.

Mike 'scorched earth' Ashley plan coming together nicely

I must say the airing of FCB song guarantees Ashleys scorched earth policy of ruining us will continue. A lot of his spiteful style has that at its root IMO.

Dummet has a trick up his sleeve apparently.

Just don't pass it to him on the deck at the back

Altogether now 'Josi-ah Wedgewood' what a wanker what a wanker' !!
