It all proves once and for all his tiredness/europa league excuses were a bunch of cock.

You're lucky you said 'for a guarateed' instead of 'if we get'. You'd be held to it (ask Messi)

As a break from doing maths I might do a statistical estimation analysis on likely outcomes and percentage chance of avoiding relegation.

He needs to start. A half-fit Ben Arfa is still our best option.

The Blackburn manager took training after he'd been sacked. Here's hoping... There's a question, Steve "eccies!" Kean or Pardew?

Do they fuck need to recuperate, they hardly even moved.

A point would be massively important as it puts us another multiple of 3 away from Wigan.

"light session"? You fucking kidding me?

I doubt there's much to read into Sissoko leaving early. Probably dentist or something random. Still, 1% of me believes he left in frustration after a heated discussion with Pardew.

For some reason this result made me want Carroll back.

I would like to think they're having a team meeting today where nothing is off the table - get them to tell him exactly why they're so p*ssed off. Ask the senior players what team/formation they would select and agree to give it a try. Anything really, just whatever it is he's been doing lately, f***ing stop it! If the players want us to stop up, they really have to be telling pardew what is wrong from their eyes as they are the best one's to know what is wrong. Good luck getting this cocky bastard to listen. I hope you're right though.

The same guys who got us into this mess. Not sure where Pardew is getting the idea that those players will suddenly become good under pressure. Have a look at appearances http://www.worldfootball.net/team_einsaetze/newcastle-united/eng-premier-league-2012-2013/

We also need to watch we don't get all Pardew. We need to make them worry about our attackers rather than us spending all the training on dealing with Kevin fucking Nolan. We should be saying "we have Ben Arfa, Cisse, Gouffran and Sissoko attacking their back four" rather than "Simpson has experience, Kevin Nolan is a threat, what about Jack Collison?" I can just tell he's doing the latter with our players right now.

Hes really skinny tho This is exactly the time we don't want him. He's rubbish and he's a fucking coward whenever there's pressure.

That fucking 6-0 has damaged our goal difference. We're now level on it with Wigan. Otherwise I'd suggest massively attacking. Tbh, I think I still would. A back 4 + 1 DM is adequate to keep the goals down. A back 4 + 3 DMs (counting Jonas as a DM) just invites an insane amount of pressure with no relief further up the park.

Never gets old

fucking leave you mad bastard

Was going to start a 'where were you' thread for the last relegation but thought it'd be a bit daft. Might as well go in here. I was at work getting texts off my mate while hiding in the corner behind all the rug racks (dunelm mill). Ended up hearing it from some customer so ran up to him and asked. Hadn't experienced that level of guttedness and haven't since. Gary Speed and wor Bobby ran it close, mind. Where were you?

He needs a cool name so people will like him. Like Ched. Ched Evans. wait.

You'd accept a slight profit on our only striker? Until we get 2 more in he should be indispensable. Christ almighty.

With the emphasis on fun. And gay

I think I'm going to be shitting myself constantly over summer while the inevitable Ben Arfa rumours fly about if he leaves it'll be a huge blow, I absolutely adore him.

That'll surely scare Ashley...

Cabaye 1 strange, can't think of anything he did in particular.

Can you not just do an anytime scorer double?
