  1. That "we're a mid-table team in mid-table" argument is so horrid. - Firstly, even if we were, we're not trying to be better than that. We're not ambitious. We're mid-table with ambitions of being mid-table. It's horrid. - Secondly, we're not a mid-table squad. Sure, we're not going to win the league. But the players on our books right now are good enough to have us challenging for a Europa League spot. We're not, and that's Pardew's fault. He's the weak link, the one thing we could replace and see an immediate improvement. It'd actually be harder to find someone worse, he really is a very poor manager so swapping would be of minimal risk. - Thirdly, we play shit football and are horrid to watch. Even if we finished in the same position (I doubt we would, but for arguments' sake) with a different manager, at least we could have some fun along the way. - Fourthly, Pardew is a despicable human being who I cannot embrace in any way. I'd happily swap him for someone with the same level of (in)competence who was just a bit of a better person. Any way you look at it, changing manager is a good idea.
  2. And blameless. A fluke win and he'll lap up the credit. A loss and he'll blame injuries and tell us how great Everton are, which the matchday mongs will lap up.
  3. I can see palace inquiring about Pardew. I can see Pardew being interested. I can then see Ashley telling them to get lost and refusing to release him.
  4. If I hear anyone talk about "united", I make a point of enquiring about what aspect of Cambridge United they're talking about. It's petty and achieves very little other than to perhaps make me look a bit of an arse, but I can't help myself. At least Cambridge's official nickname is United, whereas Man U's is The Red Devils and not United at all.
  5. Yeah, but Hatem was personally and directly responsible for us conceding over 3000 goals in those games.
  6. Manager stability is nonsense. Getting a good manager is infinitely more important than just keeping one and hoping things get better.
  7. Six wins in a row is all well and good but I still hope the lying, defensive fraud gets hit in the face by a speeding bus.
  8. This is the same Steven Taylor who Pardew wouldn't give the time of day to ahead of Mike Williamson for the last year?
  9. Delighted for him. Hopefully it stays gone.
  10. Clock doesn't stop for corners though, so I doubt that'll count. IMHO.
  11. Well that first half was every bit as disgustingly shit as I expected.
  12. How did he miss that so badly? Fucking hilarious marking.
  13. I'm way too hung over / drunk for this shit. Hope we get battered.
  14. Indeed. Doesn't matter who we have, the plan is the same. Defend, graft, hope for luck. It's bloody awful and no players look good under it.
  15. Every time I see this thread upped, I hope it's because he's been hit by a speeding bus. I can't believe anyone in the world, from fans to journalists to Mike Ashley or even Pardew himself, can think for one nanosecond that anything is any better because we beat the second worst team in the league, at home, by a single solitary goal. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day, and even the worst managers get a win occasionally. I hope we get thrashed in every game until he leaves or is fired, or gets hit by that bus, and if that means we go to the Championship or L1 or whatever, so be it. It's not my money Newcastle United will be losing, I couldn't give a single toss. You reap what you sow Mr Ashley, if you continue to employ this charlatan, you deserve every penny of the financial loss you'll incur as a result and the net effect on me, on any level, will be zero.
  16. Plays Streetfighter 2 and spends the entire game just blocking to get a draw when the time runs out, whilst hoping for some "magic" to damage his enemy. Blames his wife for shouting that his tea's ready when he loses.
  17. That's the best thing about the new FIFA, IMO. You can play as Newcastle and actually enjoy the games. Play the correct players in (shock horror) the correct positions. (Or if you're a masochist you can play as Pardew and stick everyone in the wrong places, sell anyone with flair to be replaced by some English cloggers, hoof the ball upfield and sub your left back after an hour.)
  18. Alan, if he cared even remotely, you'd be sacked. And it is only difficult to win Premier League games because you're incompetent.
  19. We're going to win this, aren't we? Can't believe I'm gutted by that prospect. This is what this prick had reduced me to.
  20. Quickly? We be so fucking lucky. This really is death by a thousand cuts.
  21. I really couldn't give a single shit if we're relegated. Not a single penny of my money will be lost if / when we go down. Fuck the lot of them, Ashley in particular. He deserves to lose millions for sticking with this useless shitstain, it won't effect me at all beyond having to watch us be shit all this year. But we'll be shit all year even if we finish 17th, just slightly less so, and the cracks will be papered over and we'll begin again next year exactly the same. At least if we go down, the right person gets punished the most, ie Ashley. We might be annoyed by it, but it'll cost us not a penny so bring it on.
