I agree but scared Mike will see that as 'employee power' and back 'his' man instead.

This. No chance he'll walk. He needs pushing all the way...preferrably off the top of the tyne bridge. His ego is too big to man up and admit he just isn't good enough. He'd never get a job like this ever again.

I think it can be repaired but Pardew is so fucking clearly not the man to fix it. Stop giving him time and get a proper man for the job. Like having an electrician in to fit your bathroom suite and keeping with him though the kitchen is flooded.

And the one criminal thing that I keep coming back to....how many shots on goal did we have in those two matches?

Whatever he comes out with will be insulting to us in the extreme.

I've been asking all afternoon, maybe cowardly like him ?. Surely they've got to have a pop at him at full time no? or has he hoodwinked them as well?

Can anyone tell me how much Big Mike will loose in terms of the tv money if we go down?

Protests outside the Milburn?

He's a coward. He'll put it off for as long as possible. He'll come out with the 'we'll have to stand up and be counted. Disappointed but it's been a long season etc. It's my job to pick this bunch of players up. We'll put on a peformance in the last 6,5,4,3 games of the season for the fans who have been brilliant and understand the job we're doing here is a work in progress' etc..

the real scary thing is this season might come down to goal difference. :'(

Make the call Dekka....make the call!!!

Got to be one of the worst in the country no?

Can I just say now my heart bleeds for the folk in the stadium. Poor bastards! Look around at what you have done Pardew you complete incompetent clown!

i'm just hoping one of the 'senior' players got in touch with ashley and asked what scoreline it would take for him to sack the kunt.

I'm actually got tears in my eyes now. Fuck you and damn you to hell Pardew!

FUCK IT!!!!!

Same here. Though I lack the football knowledge most of you have I can't think of anyone to come in and manage in the interim. John Carver might be one but he was an unmitigated disaster coaching Toronto FC and I don't think he could do any good for us. Absolutely no point in sacking him now, we wouldn't get anyone in. We're reduced to hoping Wigan and/or Villa continue to drop points. I don't care about getting anyone in right away. That can come in the summer. Right now we're not going to get another point this season under Pardew which puts us in serious threat of relegation. I cast my mind back to the change between Souness and Roeder's first game in charge...was like night and day.

Can't wait for him to remind us how good our home record has been this season....

Damn you! I'm allowed to dream....it's all I've got left.

if there was a fixture that 'pool needed after the who biting controversy it was us. Every fucking time a team needs a pick-me-up result it's us that provides the 'opposition'.

Nice to know we save our best for when the nation is watching.

He's surely got to resign after this..... surely?!!!!

Does that HBA shot count as a shot on target?

Quit going on about the french 'contingent' in our squad you fucking twat.

This starts been good but not fantastic.... just think how it could have been like this from the 1st minute... listen to the effect it's had on the crowd and the knock on that will have on the players and the effect they'll have on the crowd and so on....
