The oceans will die, and civilization will collapse by 2040. All that is left will be roving bands of Mad Max style gangsters...and fucking Alan Pardew still managing the club.

Or perhaps that's really just his point of view? This arrogant rubbish is the exact reason why this thread is so crap. And telling people that their opinions against someone are irrational or mental isn't arrogant? This thread is crap because people are still trying to bring a reasonable defence to the table for Pardew despite there being none, and people like you coming in all chilled like "It's just his opinion, man" Fair enough, this is my opinion, I reckon it's f***ing rubbish, and people who are sick to their back teeth of the bloke managing us are obviously going to find it pretty antagonising. Eh? When I say the hatred is mental I'm not responding to normal, or even quite extreme, criticism of Pardew. There are many posts that go way beyond that and it honestly comes across as borderline psychotic. The club means a lot to people Ian for Pardew and Ashley to treat it with such disdain causes a lot of vitriol. I don't understand how you can be offended by posts on here when Alan belittles the club and the supporter base as well as the north east on a weekly basis The club means a lot to me as well. I'm not offended by anything, I just think a lot of it is over the top. Not that my opinion on that matters, just saying. So what do you advocate then Ian? Are you happy to continue on the current path or do you feel change is needed? If you feel change is needed what action/actions need to be taken? I would love Pardew to be sacked and replaced with a good manager, but that's kind of obvious. My main worry is what comes after the sacking. Saying that, we're getting close to the point where he should be sacked anyway. 'Change' in the abstract isn't something I'm comfortable supporting, I need to think about the detail. I understand people who want to not go to games, I just don't think they should take moral high ground over fans that still want to go. That's also because I believe they don't have any power to change things. Not sure what to say to satisfy people, I've explained my views many times, as much as anyone else on here. Getting close to the point??? This "let's keep Pol Pot in, because somebody worse might come along" mentality is the antithesis of personal evolution. There's always a gamble involved, but tbh it's not a particularly large Icarus-style gamble here.

and I still see Facebook statuses saying, "I reckon we'll win by the odd goal if we play this team. What do you guys think?" Fucking lotus-eating idiots.

Well, really it should be about you not bothering to waste a day by showing up and watching the utter shit on display then. Fuck the lot of them. The only real power we have is to not waste our time on these pricks anymore.

Nicely phrased but wrong. IMO, the main problem is that so many people object to any opinion that has any nuances. Battered wife giving her husband a pass for perhaps instigating it = nuanced perspective

Where's your loyalty, man? This club has done so much for you. And you just walk away, and only because it consistently rapes our spirit?

They'd put him down if he was a pet. http://www.nufc.co.uk/javaImages/93/f/0,,10 The fat fuck looks completely out of breath from the exertion of leaning.

Once upon a time, match day was a huge occasion. Now it's another way to keep track of time.

Think back even to the somewhat dark days of Gullit's reign. When Shearer scored that goal against Tottenham in the FA Cup, I went absolutely apeshit. that memory is indelibly stamped in my head. 1) Not sure if I would now. 2) Moot point anyway, because we won't ever get much past the 3rd round under this shitstain.

then what the fuck are you in it for? Will Cthulu break through a rift in spacetime if you stop paying attention? Family history, local pride, obligation, habit, loyalty, all sorts of things. Most football fans have quite a shit time don't they? I thought this was a fairly innocuous and obvious point. if you get zero enjoyment out of it, then you are a mug. If it's the sense of community, well this community has become about as apathetic as I've ever seen. And honestly, loyalty? You're an even bigger mug when you consider these overpaid tits. And I'm about as big of an idiot as it gets for picking this club to support, not having any real connection to it. Just fucking misguided loyalty. I get some enjoyment, when we play well or win or score a goal. Or when I get to go to the match, all the normal stuff. I just mean the lot of a football fan includes a hell of a lot of depressing shit. I can agree with that. However, these vampires have slowly sucked the enjoyment I get out of any victory. There's no fist pumping for me anymore. It's just a flatline of disinterest, but sustained by unconscious, mechanical habit...or the faint hope that the passion will return.

I know these aren't good options, but would you swap it for a relegation battle. would you swap multiple sclorosis for stage IV pancreatic cancer?

left untreated, AIDS has roughly a 10-year contract as well.

I would say that this season has been fucking awful. Not for the league position, but I have watched my love for this game attenuate in slow motion over the last two. The team that the cunt in charge sets up is hardly entertaining, and when it is, it's usually by accident. It's fucking awful football. Nothing beautiful about how we play.

A decent management, and we'd be better off than 8th.

Jesus hates you. Call up Westboro Baptist Church. Get them on the picket detail.

I needed a good laugh

Whut? I think Ando has been on the glue again. his crack is getting papered over by Pardew.

Something was being done over our cracks today.

We clearly eat our own shit as well by supporting this club. At least Brett thinks it's caviar.

Brett's inability to process reality is the greatest blessing he was ever given.

and you know what is even more galling? Some asshole in the next pre-match thread will come on and say what we need to do to win the match. "I would try ______on the left to give us more width." Pay afuckingtention. the shitstain has been in charge since before the Arab Spring. He hasn't then. He hasn't since. And he won't do any time in the future.

If Pardew was American, he'd be the darling of the Republican party given his reasoning.

you know Pardew is smug right now. "See what happens when I play Marveaux and Ben Arfa?" I would be pleased if he just mysteriously disappeared
