Unbelievable

I want to kill this Dutch commentator. Stating that Newcastle fans have been spoilt in a 6 game winning run, but that has been ended by too many injuries. Fuck off

Sounds like Pardew's NUFC What makes that our first halves?

What is their team? EFC: Joel, Coleman, Distin, Alcaraz, Garbutt, Baines, Barry ©, McCarthy, McGeady, Eto'o, Kone. subs: Griffiths, Oviedo, Lukaku, Mirallas, Besic, Barkley, Browning. Interesting. Their bench will be the difference.

What is their team?

Cabella should just put in a transfer request now tbh, alongside Anita.

We're fucked. Alnwick, Williamson, Dummett, Tiote, Colback. Eight defensive minded players again, yet so much mediocrity.

Gouffran!

Top 8 or.. 8th strongest in the league? That's midtable. City Chelsea Man Utd Arsenal Tottenham Everton Liverpool West Ham's attacking options makes them a clearly stronger squad too. IMO we are 9th strongest at best. Haven't seen much of Southampton. We are in that group of clubs that are midtable which could be in a relegation scrap with a few under performing players or poor management. You think West Ham have a stronger squad than us? Yep. Good options up front. Sakho, Valencia & Carroll is a good amount of fire power. That doesn't make their squad stronger than ours.

I'd gladly take Beardsley interim and see how it goes if it means Pardew goes. Hell, I'd probably take Kinnear too.

IF, he did go, IF... who do you think would we get? No-one really comes to mind. Kinnear. Nailed on as interim, then permanent. Who will we get after his next heart surgery?

Must. Not. Hope.

Tadic' assist was even better imo.

That 5 million euros has been known for ages hasn't it? I hadn't heard about the 20 game clause. We were desperate to see the back of him apparently. You have to wonder why.

He'll be class for them and join Madrid in a 40 million move inside two years.

I hope so, for his sake. What a good loan move this turned out to be.

Wow, good goal

That Southampton squad is midtable at best tbh

Nice goal

No way

I have gone on record before he signed saying he wasn't going to be a success, but I'm quite astonished to read so many posts on here saying he's s*** and never played well for us. Are you suffering from collective amnesia? Just to jog some of those brain cells: http://www.newcastle-online.org/nufcforum/index.php/topic,92469.msg4048313.html#msg4048313 (read on from here up until page 145 spanning more than a month) Then again here: http://www.newcastle-online.org/nufcforum/index.php/topic,92469.msg4660459.html#msg4660459 (up to page 205 at least, spanning four months) Simple fact is that he has had good patches and bad patches, has been unfairly dropped at times and what it all boils down to, he just isn't a Pardew player at all, simply because we are not a team trying to play football. Will go on the same scrapheap as the rest of the Pardew rejects, so probably join some CL club for less than we paid for.

Dortmund another success story without huge outside investment. It's just a shit argument really.

I remember our resident mackems saying similar (well except for the passing bit) a week ago. It is hard to underestimate how shit Pardew has us playing. Sadly, our position in midtable suggests we should be much better than we are in reality.
