401-0. Just wow.

This is glorious. Pity it means fuck all, but it's still glorious. We should all go to the Hull game and give him hell.

So much wrong with that Redknapp piece. Firstly, Hatem Ben Arfa will get a great reception if / when he ever plays at St James' Park again, irrespective of writing a letter or not. Secondly, Harry suggests that'll happen this season. It won't, because of his loan conditions. Basically Harry, you're a fucking idiot and don't know the first thing of which you write.

Wonderful player. Lacks the intelligence, charisma or passion to be a good manager though. Would be a disaster.

Absolutely agree with this. If anyone does genuinely want him to stay, say so by all means. But equally I feel we can do without zany "Stay" votes as well.

Finally it seems Pardew might keep a clean sheet.

Probably just making sure he leaves the country.

Not sure that plane's going to get airborne with Ben Arfa's weight to carry. Guess it'll have to just taxi to Kent so they can get the Eurotunnel.

Are we sure he said 48 points? Probably meant 4 to 8 points. Might be attainable with a bit of luck.

I'd be able to start enjoying football again. It'd be weird. For at least a year now I've hated every minute of being a Newcastle fan. The last time I enjoyed football was our Europa league campaign, which is ironic as it's the thing the club hated the most. FWIW I've got Champagne in the fridge, and I don't care if it's a work night or a weekend, when that cunt goes I'm drinking every drop.

I really hope Aarons picks up a minor knock that keeps him out for a few weeks.

Anyone from south of Gateshead is a cockney, we all know that.

Just change it to "A horrible cunt, a lying cunt". Then yes, 50,000 people belting that out would be utterly superb.

So what is this "fappening" thing. Assume it's pornographic, is it something to do with the leaked photos from iCloud?

That chair's in a bit of trouble, like. Fat cunt.

Well I'm fighting the good fight over on the Chronicle comments section about them trying to sell Ben Arfa. My word there's some mongs there. Possibly my favourite: Seldom has someone managed to get so much wrong at once. And another one: These people have the team they deserve. Thankfully the majority seem to have their heads screwed on but my word what a clueless few we still have.

Pardew is a stinking, festing cunt. I hate him. Utterly despise everything he is and everything he stands for. This adds nothing new to the thread, I just need to say it every now and again as a pressure release or I'm liable to kick the cat, and he's done nothing wrong.

If you're reading this Hatem, don't go. If you stay, Pardew will be sacked, you'll be back in the team and you'll be a fucking legend here. Pardew and his cronies will try to break you with bullshit and lies, but you're worth a million times what he is.

This. I hope we get nobody and that it leads to Pardew's dismissal. Well, Pardew being shit will lead to Pardew's dismissal but you know what I mean. It'll stop him having enough to paper over the cracks for yet another season.

Only at the equator. Right at the poles it's a hell of a lot slower than Mike Williamson.

Now "Hope" is associated with Ben Arfa and getting a lot of positive coverage, it really is time to get "Hopeless" out there. Get that shown anywhere, ideally at a first-team match, and it'll be awesome.

Having won nothing for decades, if Newcastle ever win anything it'll be so much sweeter, we'll celebrate that much harder than the likes of Man U or Chelsea ever could. That failure makes the prospect of future success ever more exciting. It's the same with Pardew but more intense because at least not winning trophies can still be enjoyable. The longer he hangs on, the greater I'm going to celebrate when the fucker finally goes. It feels like it'll never happen, but eventually it simply must. In fact I'm stopping drinking now and starting eating healthily as since I've got 16 years on the fucker I reckon I've got very good odds of at least outliving him, so even if he has a contract until he dies I'll still get to see him not be manager of this club.

As others say, impossible to judge him based on playing under Pardew. He's ploughing a lonely furrow. Pardew wants some athletic big man up there that he can lump long balls to, and Riviere is the closest we have. Ayoze might well be a better footballer, but he's be even worse under our system than Riviere as he's too small and would still have to suffer getting footballs with ice on them raining down from the clouds.

Ah, of course it's the Gallowgate corner. Exiled down south and it's been years since I've set foot in there.
