Look at all those smug bastards, don't they realise they're flirting with relegation just attending a European event?!?

This is what it is all about for me. I absolutely hate this state of wanting us to score when we are attacking then not minding when the opposition score either. This is the definition of a glory hunter for me and I absolutely detest it. Same here, I just want a manager who wants to win every game, no matter the opposition or competition, I want to see us attack with speed and intent and roar them on. We can still have a successful team with Ashley in charge, with the right manager we can be good, we'll never buy a talisman again but we can create them. It can't come soon enough, this is the team I love, I can't change that but it's be nice to want them to win again, rather than take satisfaction in them losing. All I know is that if we win the next two I'll be gutted, that's not right?!?

Where's Pardew in that picture?

Galtier is contracted until 2016 but has a clause in his contract, Ashley's second favourite word, after pies.

Been linked quite a bit previously! Gal tier was linked last May when Pardew made his best attempt to abseil down the league, but his name has popped up in a few articles again today. The story being that a respected, decent French manager can repair the damage Pardew has caused to our relationships with French teams with the destruction of certain talents. Good call if true.

I'm trying not to get too excited about it, we've been here before, the only difference this time is that it's so early in the season. Ashley can't be happy, how many times does Pardew have to prove hes a cunt before hes had enough? We've heard the rumours Ashley genuinely like Hatem, how much did he have to do with his loan and is he happy about it? There's a genuine fear of relegation this season if the last 20 games are anything to go by(they are). Barring a minor miracle there's no light at the end of this tunnel if we don't part ways with the fraud once and for all.

http://thespectatorsview.com/2014/04/01/video-2010-interview-foreshadows-pardews-downfall/ An old one, but scarily accurate, worth a repost to prove things have not and will not ever change.

Krul doesn't come close to what Ben Arfa represented. We've sold/loaned out the only player (until Cabella proves otherwise) that represented what football and this club is all about. This. Hatem for me pretty much personified our club. Urgh. This, for me Hatem represented what the club means to me and how I want us to play but also represented hope and was like the martyr to the cause, he personified the fight against Pardew. That was the problem though, Pardew made it a him or Hatem thing and realised which way it was going so had to remove him. It's definitely like the heart just got ripped out of the club, the last part of its soul is gone.

There was a time when I hated the international break, now I see it as a welcome breather where I can watch a team I can support make an effort to win a game of football. Although England can be as frustrating as Newcastle at least they try and win.

That would be epic. Just watch Santoon that's a big railing to go over. Stay safe SanToon. I think we need to get a safety harness for this one, not so much comedy distance on that fall

I think they're playing quite well, however I am using NUFC a as a yardstick of competency so I may be wrong.

Odds slashed from 9/1 to 4/1 to be next manager to get the boot, just behind Hippo Heed!

Say what you want about Fat Freddy, he wasn't shy with that trigger finger and listened to the fans, sometimes to the clubs detriment though. Pardew would've gone a LONG time ago.

At least the penny has finaly dropped with our supporters en masse, I'm getting a lot of love on the Chron comments for discemination of Pardew/HBA. There's one or two defending the fraud but few and far between. I just hope that translates to the stands come Hull, because we're certain to get dry humped at Southampton. Surely even Ashley couldn't support a manager that had to deal with that Cardiff showing every home game.

Steady on, like. He looks a real prospect, helped us draw at home to Crystal Palace and is obviously better than Alsoran but that's it, for now. Plus, you're all assuming Pardew actually drops Gouffran for him. Starting a teenager away in the south of England? That's too much for Alan to handle. Given his impact against Palace I can see Pardew looking to him for some "fackin magic". It won't be long before he becomes collateral damage in Pardews blame game which will inevitably damage his game and everyone will be saying he's shit, the new Bigi. Presuming Pardew lasts that long.

Premier League. If Ashley feels we'll get relegated, I think he'll sack him. That's all he's bothered about afterall! The way Ashley looks at it is he's already given him cash to spend over the summer window. He won't wanna bail him out with more cash/signings in January. Instead, he'll want a new manager in to ensure we stay up. Can see it being Pulis or something, but at this moment in time, I'd take anyone with a positive attitude towards the game of football. We won't be relegated though, there are at least 3 teams worse than us. We'll be around 10th-15th come Christmas and that'll be enough for Ashley. Absolute rubbish. Which teams will score fewer goals and concede more? Certainly no more than 3 at best. Well, 16th or 17th is still good enough for the fat man. I'm sorry but what in the whole of 2014 gives you the belief we have enough to avoid relegation? 3 wins in 20 is it? If Pardew stays, with this team, we are swimming in concrete boots.

Trying not to get too carried away, but he has clearly been looking miserable in the stands and the results speak for themselves 2014 has been the worst year, stats wise in a very long time, unsustainable. I bet Ashley's getting a twitchy arse on our premiership survival.

Right, right...... RIIIIIGGGGHHTTT???!??

I will never forgive Pardew for his part in what our club has become, but this latest fiasco has turned my hate to rage, my last hope is Pardew goes before HBA's contract is up and we can talk him into staying, it's a faint hope I know but it's all I have left dammit!

Can we not just sing thundercunt to the tune of acdc's thunderstruck?

I hope to fuck he hasn't been told he can't play against us, would be AMAZING if he was the one to put the final nail in Pardews coffin. Will be great to see him go out and prove so many people wrong, just absolutely gutted it's not for us. And yes I do think this was planned, I don't think HBA would have thought it through so much but I'm positive one of his many advisors will have planned it maticulously.

And on that note FUCK Ashley, FUCK Pardew, FUCK NUFC, I've had enough of this shit, absolute bullshit from top to bottom, they can all go fuck themselves, I'll stay on here cuz I like the posters on here and there's not many idiots, generally a well informed crowd, but I'll not watch another minute of "football" with these absolute fuck nuggets in charge.

I'm reporting you to RSPCC, you're unreal man, why would you do that to your own child?

Unbelievable, we needed a striker, creative midfielder and a central defender to finish our business, what do we do? Weaken our defense and move out our most creative player!?!? I'm fucking cured, I had half a hope HBA would outlast Pardew and we'd get to see him again. I fucking hope they haven't put a clause in his loan that he can't play against us.
