Then it's Willo time!

If it's 4-1-3-2 then I can understand the team he's picked. What I won't understand is if he takes off Cabs of Sissoko and brings on Bigirimana and tries to defend a 1-0 lead!

So is Gouffran playing wide right of a front 3? bit harsh on his debut to stick him out there. Still, canny do any worse in that role that Shola did against Reading.

Perch? Perch on the right of a midfield four? Please no!!!!!

A bit disappointing but trying not to let it get to me too much. Be 'interesting to see' how he sets them up and if we take it to them or play on the counter.

Think Jonas' stereo is gonna get hijacked and the saian supa crew will be blasting out the dressing room on match days!

I've been wanting Pards hung from the top of the tyne bridge but these signings have somehow given me hope that he's gonna change his approach/tactics. Saying that I'll probably be spitting blood when I see only 1 of the new signings in the starting line up for villa.

Can't wait for the NUFC TV video of him getting his blood taken or getting out of a car! £3.99 a month for this pish.

Just read his interview in the today's chronicle. Spitting blood but the sentence that has angered me the most: "Once we get our best players on the pitch and fully fit again - and sign new players - I am confident we can get out of it." So before his excuse was he didn't have his best players and now its 'I need my best players AND new ones too'. Just fuck off and do one would you? The squad he has should be top 10 at least. How can one man take a 5th place team and turn them into relegation material is staggering.

so are we doing QPR's scouting for them or what?

Cracking post!

Is this so he'll have his excuse already set up for when/if he does get the bullet? This guy canny get the (available) players at his disposal to beat Reading @ home FFS! If I was Mike I'd have 2nd thoughts spunking money on this guys wish list when you're thinking you might be bringing in someone else very shortly who may have his own players he'd like.

Online for the first time since last night and disappointed to see he hasn't been given his p45 yet. Dunno why I'd expect big mike to do anything but it just screams to me as being the only logical solution to our situation. Doesn't need a team of financial advisors to see it. I've come to terms with the fact under his stewardship we'll never be a champions league team but don't think his ego would allow/want us to be relegated let alone the financial consequences.

I'd get Adkins in and give him till the end of the season on a kinda probation period. See how well he does. I'd be confident under him we'd stay up. Whether he'd be the one to take us in to a brand new world would be another matter but I'd bet he'd get this group of players at least performing somewhere close to what they're capable of.

We could sign Messi and this fucking clown would probably play him in goals. Signings will only do so much. He needs to go and he needs to go now for the sake of our premiership survival. I believe, like a lot of others on here, if he stays in the job we're going down. I'd take Adkins till the end of the season.

'after they scored we were looking about for some impetus....' mmmm....here's an idea Alan. How about you giving them them some kind of inspiration from the sidelines. You're (single-handedly?) killing this team you f***ing muppet! And as for insinuating the fans had something to do with that 2nd half performance is just unbelievable. I'm sure every good manager has to be flexible and change his team during a match but Pardew does it 3/4 times every f***ing game! He doesn't have a clue what works when my 12 year son can see the obvious.

Muted? FFS! even the home crowd is becoming numb to it. That's a real danger.

YOu fool. Do I feel another Mrs bimpy joke coming on?

Don't think he does it out of fear... genuinely think that's he's style.

probably quite true..."with tiote there I felt we could have seen the 1-0 out"...

That's what a player is like with Pardew's man management skills this season. They've been awful along with pretty much everything decision he's made.

"But at least we got a point last week". Just fuck off Pardew!

Mike: "Deks, you wouldn't happen to have Nigel Adkins mobile number would you?"

He's gotta get the bullet after the match now surely. Dead man walking.

Looked v much like handball but Pardew's a fucking muppet for trying to see out that fragile lead so early on.
