  1. just spoken to my mate. he and charnley were at a football tournament near Berwick with their kids. charnley and pardew both taken aback by the hostility on saturday. they never expected it to be that bad. charnley mentioned how it was even worse than last season when we were in a relegation fight! he still doesn't get it though, kept saying how we'd finished ninth! pardew really has taken it badly, badly shaken. though no indication of any thoughts of a resignation. told my mate about the behaviour of the stewards on sataurday and about that "headlock" photo. made him promise to mention it to charley when he next saw him. he wont discuss on the pitch stuff though.
  2. Krul and Tiote were fighting over Norwich's game with Chelsea? Odd. you got me! I meant Cardiff.
  3. if he does stay, he needs to change the coaching staff.
  4. I think he knows we're not going to get more than one new striker in.
  5. the hoofball tactical masterplan for the derby was both unbelievable and unforgiveable.
  6. did anyone see the fisticuffs between tiote and krul during the second half? think it was just after a Norwich chance. think tiote may have thrown a punch or shoved krul. had to be sseparated.
  7. they've built up up a huge following worldwide over the past 40 years and are a massive name, hence the huge sponsorship deals.
  8. agree. the one chant I didn't join in.
  9. keegan didn't last long as DOF at Fulham. basically got frustrated with Wilkins so he sacked him and took over as manager himself. he needs to be hands on and cant watch someone else doing a job that doesn't reach his own standards.
  10. Along the lines of 'Newcastle fans don't expect their team to be competing in the top three, they just want to believe, they want to hope, they want to see their team go out and try to score goals, they want to be able to buy good players when they come available and keep their best players'.
  11. would be best for a mass walk out together. if that means 69 minutes, then so be it. shouldnt let agendas get in the way of the bigger picture.
  12. You miss two points. 1. This season's Wonga shirts sold in record numbers. 2. Wonga are already paying us the lowest shirt sponsorship fee in the Premiership, there is no way we would accept lower. is that actually true?
  13. hope if we do get a spawny win, the sunday sun goes with "Gosling gets his cup-winners medal at last" as its headline.
  14. would even cheer him on if he signed for the scousers
  15. i know we take the piss about being proud to see our players leaving to sign for a big club, but if HBA leaves I would genuinely love it if went and won a load of trophies.
  16. Club doesnt get it, or more accurately doesnt care. As long as w***a is plastered over them, shirt sales are going to be much lower than preceding seasons. I've never worn footie tops but have always bought the kids the strip every time a new one comes out. this is the first season i havent and wont until the sponsor changes. know many parents like this. Even if we'd accepted a sponsor paying slightly less (not that we offered anyone the chance to even match w***a according to Richard Branson) they would have sold a tonne more shirts. may not have been enough to make up the difference but so what.
  17. hatem's not really been disrespectful to pardew in any of his quotes, he's just put his point across. no need for the club to be pissed off.
  18. wish cabaye had laid into pardew when he left
  19. even more desperate for us to lose against Cardiff now
  20. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/newcastle-spend-transfers-summer-push-3475472 Newcastle WILL spend on transfers this summer to push further into top 10 insists Mike Ashley Apr 29, 2014 20:53 By Simon Bird Toon haven't signed a single player on a permanent deal in 18 months but controversial owner intends to be very busy in the coming close-season Newcastle owner Mike Ashley has insisted he is ready to spend money in the summer to get Alan Pardew's squad back on track. The Sports Direct tycoon has conceded that proper investment is needed to stop the end of season slump continuing into next season. Senior figures at all levels of the club have been told the Magpies are likely to be among the major spenders, outside the cash-rich top four. Newcastle will not have signed a player on a permanent deal for 18 months when the summer transfer window opens. They are bottom of the Premier League spending table over the last five years accruing a surplus of £45million by one estimate. With the £16million from the sale of Yohan Cabaye deal unspent, and the club making a profit, Ashley has told his employees that he needs to protect the club with fresh investment to push it further into the top ten. Some Newcastle players are also convinced that boss Pardew will be allowed to head the major rebuilding job - to include recruiting two strikers, a top play-maker and a number of English recruits with experience of the league. Pardew's position has been badly undermined by a run of 14 defeats in 19 games, and a goal drought that has seen only ten goals scored in the league this year. Newcastle are on their worst run of defeats in the top flight since 1987 and Pardew was subjected to chanting by the 2,000 strong away following during the dire loss at Arsenal on Monday night. However Ashley has spoken to players in the last month with words of encouragement about next season, and chief scout Graham Carr is actively lining up deals which the club hope will come off quickly. Pardew has repeatedly insisted he is going to be backed, and said yesterday: "I'm looking at the job as a long-term opportunity for myself. That's how you have to focus." Club officials admit that Pardew and his side need a win against relegation-threatened Cardiff on Saturday to blow away the gloom before the summer break. Newcastle though have failed to score in 39 per cent of their home games this season, and have not netted in 77 per cent of games when Loic Remy has not played. Pardew said: "The fans have seen us lose again and they are not happy. I have to respect that. "All I can do as a manager is make sure I do this job to the best of my ability. We have been top 10 all year. This recent run is not something I am hiding from. "We have to finish in the top 10. If Cardiff think it is important for them on Saturday, trust me, it is important for our fans we win."
  21. can you imagine if we'd signed ozil? great start to the season, then performances fell off a little - he'd have been banished to the reserves by now and replaced by gosling. then sold in the summer.
