The funniest thing about NETD is them swearing blind that we started it.

2 wrongs don't make a right. creased at this

There's a few posters on here who seem to think that being a contrarian is the height of debate. It's the only reason I can think of for continually ignoring what's in front of them.

Childish demanding we should be spanking teams week in and week out, with 90 minutes of total dominance. Yeah, those DEMANDS would be a little bit childish wouldn't they? Realistically though all anyone wants is the manager to set up the team in a way that's not solely reliable on an in form striker and riding our luck. You come unstuck with this sort of plan. I can prove it as well, because it happened last season and it'll happen again under Pardew. All it takes is a bit of misfortune, a couple of injuries or heaven forbid a few extra fixtures. There's also the joyless factor, like. I can barely be bothered to watch these days.

3 wins on the spin, good grief. Not everyone decides how good a manager is based on his last few results.

Agreed, yes some can't see it. Some can't see that he isn't 'the flukiest fucker in football'? Could it be that this possibly isn't the case? Nobody has claimed he's a brilliant manager, but should we be embarrassed because we don't buy into that type of hyperbole? We're in a good run of form partly because of Pardew. The criticism remains over the top. The criticism that's about the way he sets up the team? It's been there for years, good results or not.

No We do, we've already seen where it takes you when you don't get enough of a cushion to cancel out the period of the game that you concede by choice. But, isn't the point that we only ever play like this when we've put ourselves in that position? THE CUBE. If the logic was sound you wouldn't get results like Reading at home, there's plenty more examples.

It should also be stated that it's nothing new and we've already seen what this sort of football does to you if you haven't got a striker in brilliant form.

Nobody has told anyone what to dee. People are free to spend their Saturday night crying cyber tears after another 3 points if they do so wish. Just don't understand the 'look at the bigger picture' arrogance. I'd say we are at/above where we should be if you look at the table.

WOAH

Indeed, his ploy is also to always, always be defensively minded no matter who we're playing. People are still posting things like 'we'll see in the next two games if we've changed as a team'. We haven't and we won't, we just won two games on the spin using the managers only trick. Good wins like, I'm not denying that, but we'll never become anything other than defend and nick one under Pardew.

The players will though, that's the point. You think so? i'm not so sure especially such cryptic quotes that i was responding to there. Yeah, I think the players will pick up on what he says, without a doubt.

No offence Doug, can everyone stop fucking saying this now?

Just general Pardew-pessimism I think, same as always. Inochi said it

High expectations.

We've needed to get rid of him for a while, hopefully we take this opportunity.

Bit late to this, he'll have completely wrong footed the mackems. Most of them won't know whether to boo him or cheer him.

Howay lads, keep up.

On the screen, they flashed tweets with #WWENewcastle and a couple had 2-1 in them. Monumentally sad b******s. The grown men who go and watch wrestling? Almost as bad as the people following ALS It was RT onto timeline. So pipe the f*** down eh? Such a fannyish response Good one that, like. Top posting Its as though you are oblivious to what you post yourself beforehand

I've found myself agreeing with them on a lot of things at different times about players tbf, but on this manager I'm a million miles away. It's one thing to remain positive and look at all angles, but sometimes you just have to take a longer term view and think about how you can make progress as a football team on the pitch, since there's not a lot we can do about what goes on off it. No hard feelings on that score. Would I swap Pardew for a better manager? Obviously I would, that goes without saying really. I'm just inclined to support him while he's here and I think we've kind of talked ourselves into a paranoid delusion that he's Satan or something. He's also suffered from being involved with a regime that everyone hates. A lot of the stuff he says/does is absolutely standard managerial waffle or fans having a different opinion to the pros type stuff IMO. Anyway, it's a Tuesday night, all is good in the world. I've just watched the games he's managed, and think he's shit.

Nee Nar Nee Nar

He bought a football club, he could've bought a chain of independent cinemas.
