Have a feeling the Telegraph will come in and Pardew will snatch defeat from the jaws of victory Let's hope so. Hope he's involved

Pardew next please, the country awaits

Yeah I never got the love in for him. He had nearly a whole season and they survived because of their magical end of season form that always kicks in.

Thought he offered something different yesterday especially attacking, his pace caused them issues

If grief Spurs him on he should be class at home.

It's a bad loss, but I said to lad next to me we just need to take it as a lesson, no need to lose our heads about it and certainly the booing is shit. We lost a game so what, I'm sure it will be put right.

So glad we are rid of Sissoko, he's just shit

Think he will bring Mbemba back in for Clark, Yedlin for Anita, Diame for Perez and might start with Mitro up top again. Atsu will be a sub I reckon. The opposition must struggle to guess our lineup bar a few players

Dull 1-1 draw :-) nufc and hope don't go together. I do hope we go to town on them though, atmosphere should be great

Hell of a difference between Lascelles and Mbemba and the other shambles we had back there, for starters both can actually challenge physically. I also like how they don't pretend they have been shot / fist pump or don't look to hoof the ball aimlessly up the pitch. Lo g may it continue with them both being 21/22 (allegedly) Love it and having competent replacements is great.

I honestly think I would leave my wife for him and that's hella gay ( although I might leave her for just about anything)

He was more conservative / pragmatic than some managers and football was slightly less exciting, he does promote more rigid football and patterns, however it's tactically spot on most of the time. You can see the changes clearly and a shape taking place, you can really tell he has thought about and coached every area of the team in to a unit. They talked about it against Derby how we work in pairs across the pitch in terms of closing down / retention. We also keep it simple and work our way into positions, play less balls back to the keeper but do play triangles between midfield and defenders. The bloke is class and anyone that can't see it needs to watch every performance since 2004. Long term I expect us to be a professional premier league team that has an identity and hopefully challenges for Europe or a trophy. He will help us compete as he knows how to build a team, we just need the board to let him get on with it and support him where they can

9 at the moment, can't see who will finish above us and we are starting to hurt teams. Players still to come in and capable of rotating in any area should see us in top 2.

Fantastic. All coming together by the sounds of it. I would be surprised if we scored less than 4 in every game from now on

Hello Championship can you show me the way out :-) far too good

I love how we are brutally snapping a team in half that have had a decent start

Pardew got us to 5th you mad idiot. Oh aye, sorry I forgot because of the turgid 3 seasons since it happened, mind I loved being in Europe. With Pardew every interview was a lie and very fan knew it. Rafa doesn't try to deceive us, admits his football is pragmatic, says we can do better and demands more. Love the Spanish c*** I was joking like. I know, I'm just proclaiming my love for Rafa while mixing with loathing that horrible cunt

Shelvey is starting to find that form again. Him and Hayden are so important because of their ability to pass the ball at any angle and height.

We will build a statue that looks nothing like Rafa the way he is going. He just knows how to win games, people think we want dominating attacking football. I want to be competitive and win, however it comes. Pardew thinks he has the tactical acumen, Rafa just rocks it and clearly knows how to orchestrate a club. If we can keep him, he will make us bigger and actually win something.

Yeah am concerned about our goals from open play however this is just a natural result of a lot of pressure Ha fuck off man, we will have won 6 games in a row man

I have hardly had to listen to radio for our match for years, but this is the best we have sounded this season and for some while. Dominating and controlling the game

Please get a second and then batter them. Sound well on top

Wow :-)

It's good having a fit squad as well, comfortable with whichever team Rafa puts out now because he's starting to embed a style and players are performing. He will get it wrong at times but is ruthless enough to drop players and has made sure he has those options. Retained the right players and dumped the shit straight away
