still cant believe they turned down Remy for less than £10m then spunked £16m on balotelli.

Zach Braff?

still abhor pardew with a passion, but at the moment it is more because of who he is as a person rather than being a negative clueless twat of manager. actually he must be the only manager who could start to turn things around with decent wins at spurs and city, and make himself even more unlikeable. it was a perfect opportunity for him after the city game to reach out to the fans that have turned against him. he could have acknowledged his mistakes/excuses/negativity of the past 12 months and said that he had learnt from them, and also from the protests, to try and become a better manager and person. he could have said he'd realised why some fans had turned against him and come to understand and accept the reasons. instead, all the old bravado and ego has returned with a vengance. for the first time in months i'll be actually cheering us on tomorrow but we could win the league cup and finish fourth in the premiership this season but he would not get a single cheer or applause from me.

Bigi never put in a performance like that for us.

don't think his asthma helps him.

thought I had lost all feeling for this club until perez scored. first time i've cheered a goal online or in a stadium for months. just hope yewtree catch up with pardew, seems our only hope.

another one possibly off to the ACON. do we ever learn?

someone should have asked moncur that in his position as club ambassador and the fact he was our last cup-winning captain, what he though about the club not having any ambition or desire to win a trophy or push on for europe as long as we are safe in midtable. would it have been enough for joe harvey? also should have asked his opinion on trying to keep our best players rather than selling for profit each season so that we can never actually develop a team as we lose players every transfer window.

bellamy-esque

got myself screaming "pardew out" a few times before eventually being told to fuck off by a pensioner. soooooooooo fucking depressing.

that's the thing, the only joy about going to the games at the moment is the new talent such as perez and Aarons..... but you know not to get too attached as there's no will at the club to keep them and build a team around them.

Bit late for lunch got home late. not bright enough to use phone

timmy krul at Arlo's in jesmond for lunch

he cant criticise pardew in case someone at the club mentions his 8-game reign in return.

the odd win or draw isnt going to matter to pardew's survival in the long run if we're still in the bottom three.

Hang on, so you are basing your argument on one full game on the bench for Hull means Ben Arfa has fallen out of favour with Bruce? Are you serious? bruce have hba 15/9 and it's un fit now he is sub 2 games and gaston ramirez If hba not play in november why not you says pardew have right hba hasn't played because pardew wouldn't let him train or play with the first team. he has not fitness, so bruce cant play him. pardew does not have right. pardew has cunthead.

fucking cock tease

linesman had his flag up anyway. makes it a little easier to take, trust me.

end of his career, no ambition, undroppable, wont get another big club, club and owner have no ambition, happy to try and do just enough to stay in premier league and get paid. exactly the same goes for pardew. peas in a fucking pod.

just been looking at the relative ages of our current "young" team and the one that got relegated and , fuck me, what do you know?

aye, all three of them - pardew, Ashley and cabaye in cahoots. probably agreed when he signed. "give us a couple of years and the first massive offer from a big club, we'll let you go."

would rather drop gouf.

Is there a transcript? eeh howay bonny lad, I was in the car and didnt have a pen.

just listened to colin murray on talksport - absolutely got it all spot on, especially about the bulshit around pardew's family. never thought it would be murray, but at last a non-geordie in the media actually "gets it". got it right about ashley, pardew, the transfer policy, the spending deficit, the free advertising, the debt that isnt being reduced etc - all without a single reference to deluded fan with unreasonable expectations.

decent write-up http://www.espnfc.co.uk/club/newcastle-united/361/blog/post/2067881/fans-are-revolting-against-alan-pardew-as-embattled-newcastle-prepare-to-face-Swansea After yet another week of on- and off-field turmoil, Newcastle head to Wales in search of their first league win of the season with an embattled manager whose reputation cannot be rebuilt in the eyes of fans even by public relations expert Keith Bishop, whose links to owner Mike Ashley have been in the news. As former Tottenham manager David Pleat said on BBC radio ahead of the recent game vs. Hull, Alan Pardew is at the point of no return with the Tyneside public. Even if his side goes on to win its next two or three games, he will be back to square one as soon as the next defeat takes place. The manager did little to improve fans' opinions in his prematch news conference. Just before the season kicked off, he commented: "I feel much more comfortable with the team, and we can play a brand of football which is expected of us." Six games later this has changed to "our fans want to see us play a brand of football that we can't quite put together right now." To be honest, Alan, I think the fans would like to win a football match, regardless of your "brand." It is not their fault. "We are very focussed on Saturday," Pardew continued. I'm delighted to hear that, but surely it goes without saying. Even when he attempts to be positive, it comes out negatively: "It is about fighting and digging in at the moment as a team, and if we do that, something will fall our way." There is no confidence that his work on the training ground this week will help to improve on Newcastle's dire record of five wins from their last 25 games. No, he hopes they get lucky. "It is my duty and job to come up with solutions when things aren't working," added Pardew. In truth, things haven't been working for the whole of 2014, yet the manager has still failed to even attempt to find a solution. His predictable lineup and tactics play into opposition hands just about every week. Will there be much needed changes for Swansea? Pardew says "we'll have to wait and see" but there have to be. For a starter, and this won't be universally popular, it is beyond time that the league's third-worst defence is shaken up. Mike Williamson is not cut out for this level and, although far from ideal, I'd start Steven Taylor ahead of him on Saturday -- although Fabricio Coloccini has been equally as culpable. And here are words I never ever thought I'd write -- Gabriel Obertan has probably earned a start. Against Hull and again vs. Stoke on Monday night he livened up Newcastle's static performance. He is prepared to be direct and has pace whilst his teammates have looked largely disinterested. We all know the Frenchman's limitations but those ahead of him have been tried and have failed. Pardew has always been reluctant to utilise the youth talent available to him. For example, another four reserve team goals from Ayoze Pérez should have earned him some playing time and I'd also like to see Adam Armstrong and Mehdi Abeid given more first team action. Most of all, though not that it will happen, Pardew must ditch his ultra-negative, one-up-top tactics. They're appalling and poor old Emanuel Riviere has no chance. Last season Newcastle went to Swansea on the back of four consecutive victories, playing offensive football. Scared of Swansea's neat passing game, though, Pardew reverted to type and sat back. Newcastle were hammered 3-0. Many thought he would be gone after Newcastle's latest defeat and it made for very uncomfortable viewing watching him fight back the tears when heading towards the tunnel. But no one is forcing him to be there and no one other than Ashley can be entirely certain as to why he hasn't been sacked. Is it in the vain hope that his man can turn it around so he can say "I told you so" or is it because he doesn't want to stump up the compensation that Pardew's ludicrously long contact will demand? Either way, Ashley is once again gambling with the future of a football club close to the heart of hundreds of thousands of people. If he loses again, as he did last time, and Newcastle are relegated -- what is it to him? He is worth billions of pounds regardless. If Newcastle lose again on Saturday and there is no new manager in place by the time Leicester visit St. James' Park on October 18, I dread to think what reception will await the owner and manager.
