Even Beardsley knows to let him get forward. Clearly better at that, as he showed in Greece last season. For goodness sake ... Pardew out please!

I went for Dyer for fantasy football. Tempted to go for Sigurdsson but I thought Dyer cutting in from the right would absolute murder our defence.

Have them both! It's a free for all!

“Stoke defend very, very well. They get their midfield in tight to their back four. And make it very difficult for you.

 

“We didn’t get the answer tonight.”

 

And asked what the answers actually were he went on: “We just need a little bit of something in that final area.“Somebody that will take someone on to beat someone to create the moment.

 

This guy is just unbelievable.

You can just get a taste of how obsessed he is with defending even in that quote.

Purring over how tight their midfield was to their back four. It's exactly what he tries to do with us all the time, which is why anyone who plays upfront is on an island all the time.

Looking forward to captaining Sigurdsson this week. Everyone in my other leagues will be all over Diego Costa again.

Will be so smug when Sigurdsson gets a couple of goals and assists, allowing me to trump them all.

If he's still here after the international break, he's here for the long haul, and we are really f***ed.

Yeah, if that's the case then might as well just forget about this club until MA leaves, essentially.

Think he's gone but there isn't a replacement in place hence the delay.

Hoping it's more a sacking during the break. That's generally when s*** goes down under Ashley.

Really hope it's a combination of both of these, and he's been adviced to look for someone in the meantime, and then bring them in during that break.

Hope Routledge scores a hat trick.

Sissoko tries so hard with the ball, because there is nothing else around him. Our movement is crazy bad. Just a sad situation.

They can't believe their luck, and want to tie it up only a few games in, before someone notices the heist 

Everyone is trying different formations this season. Even that ogre Allardyce, and yet Pardew still won't. He's busy working on defensive shape you see.

Why haven't we at least tried a diamond setup, especially as we don't really have any wingers? Cabella behind Riviere and Cisse/Perez, should have been given a go by now. Colback, Tiote and Sissoko as the midfield three, as we know he'd never drop Colback.

That setup would make far more sense than this nonsense we persist with.

He's definitely a pass and move guy. Not really going to run at someone all game. If Obertan ended up at somewhere like Swansea, people wouldn't believe the difference.

Cabella is definitely going to be dropped. I can feel it. Sad thing is most people will think it's a great idea, because he's already been made to look so awful, thanks to Pardew.

He looked just like Riviere when he came on. The proverbial dog after a balloon.

This guy has played every single damned game, and hasn't managed to do anything, not even by accident!

At least 13 - 0.

Former Newcastle United defender Steve Howey has said that he would be "disappointed" to see Alan Pardew lose his job as manager.

 

The Magpies boss has come under fire from the club's supporters following a poor start to the season, which continued with a 1-0 defeat at Stoke City on Monday evening.

 

Howey believes that the 53-year-old deserves the backing of the fans while he is still in charge.

 

 

"I'm one of these that think it is wrong to be asking for people to lose their jobs. At the moment Alan Pardew is the manager and we have to try and back him as best we can," Howey told talkSPORT.

 

"I can totally understand the fans' frustrations but, at the same time, if there is no news that comes out of Newcastle and Alan Pardew is still the manager, I feel as though, as fans, you should support the team.

 

"The results for a long time haven't been fantastic and it is a results-based business, but I would be disappointed to see him leave because I think, overall, he has done quite well."

 

Pardew was appointed Newcastle boss in 2010.

Steve Howey ... place of birth, Sunderland.

Really looking forward to Swansea now. They will score 5 goals minimum. It will be wore than the Southampton debacle.

Well Sigurdsson is my captain this weekend, so I guess every cloud has a silver lining. What a b****** of a situation.

Better movement and passing from the team in general and this guy will shine. Like the positions he gets the ball in, but he's not one to do it all out of nothing, not this early in his time here anyway. He'll come good.

Why isn't Anita even playing anymore?! Bloody joke.

Here we go ... Neville says all we need is Vardy. Fuck of you, fuck off.

Williamson you insignificant set piece failure. Just say it as it is. He's shit!

People feeling for Pardew possibly crying?! 

I want floods of tears. Lagoons filled with them.

We needed tried and trusted Premier League. This cliche bull shit. We are bottom of the league fuckers. get out of here.

Ben Arfa was tried and trusted you idiots.

CABAYE AGAIN!!! WELL FUCK ME!!!
