It's fucking agony following the match on here

Yet we didn't do it at Man Utd, so frustrating how we do things at times. I feel like it's only when we are a goal up. It's baffling, they were turgid first half definitely there for the taking When he's got something to hold onto he's at his absolute worst.

We could, like, score again. Couldn't we?

Not sounding good.

I'm relying on you lot for match coverage.

I've heard countless stories about him being egotistical, arrogant etc etc but as a footballer the bloke gave me more joy and raw passion for NUFC and where I'm from than any other player. For that he'll be my favourite NUFC player for a long, long time.

Dunno about that like Get battered off them and finish high in the league, or beat them and battle relegation? Anyone choosing the later is fucking mental. Anyone choosing the latter is a mackem.

The alphabet just has all kinds of perks, don't it? You've changed my username

Remember, we're the deluded ones. Delewded, marra.

Interesting to hear him say post Man U that he asked the players to play in a different way, and mentioned keeping the ball. It's usually a good idea like. It's like when he brought Cabaye over before that free kick and told him to whip it into a good area with pace

I wouldn't get too over-excited just yet. At the moment we look like a typically good cup side. Defensively sound and capable of pinching a win against anyone. The problem might be when we need to beat weaker sides where we need to adopt a more aggressive approach. This is where Pardew resembles Moyes more than Ferguson IMO. Capable of going so far but then hits a ceiling. Did I come across as excited? I'm just pleased to be able to genuinely praise our manager again for doing his job.

One of my favourite things about him is he's both fast and strong in the tackle, seems like it's been a while since we had a defender like that.

Agree with a lot of what's being said. I'm really hoping that these last fee weeks are the green shoots of recovery. He admitted to being too cautious in the second half at home when we were winning (I forget which game) then he made a surprising change today in bringing on Hatem so early, and he also admitted blame for the Swansea performance. If he could get over his ridiculously negative attitude in the games he's scared to lose he'd be doing everyone a huge favour. Will the penny drop though? I hope so, and it's been a long time since I've had any hope.

Take him where?

Yeah, I just quoted myself.

If I was Pardew (lol) and we qualified for Europa again I'd play kids and reserves until quarters at least. I wouldn't even have any normal starters on the bench.

Chelsea has 30. They lost today. Have Alreet, grammar police. Stupidity police tbh.

They're fucked.

Never doubted him.

Class to have him back.

Hopefully he is finally learning, the whole interview was good apart from him calling them United. Agree. Mick, we'll always have this moment.

Hatem blocking Moyes Really good team performance that, so nice to see us play well over a whole game. They were very ordinary like.

Well done! Thought he actually managed the game well today.

We'll bottle it.

Depending on which camp you sit in: We were utterly crap and Pardew is a w***** as is Howard Webb or They had loads of the ball but we looked more threatening, Krull had a mare for their first (and could have done better for their third), we could easily have had 2 penalties, one nailed on (at 0-1) and another could easily have been given. Scorer of their third could/should have been sent off. Sissoko and Cabaye were very poor and Obertan was Obertan - you really can genuinely question why he came on (Oh and HBA has the flu so not involved, Cisse injured in warm up and similarly unavailable). Howard Webb is a w*****. You'd be better off just not posting at all. You bring absolutely nothing. If you mean I'm not prone to hysteria, you'd be right. My second Para is a perfectly acceptable summary IMO This one's not prone to hysteria like. Not like you lot, he's cool as fuck. Geordie jeans and an eclipse sock hat.
