was just gonna post this.

Why are people raging about it not really being a headbutt and being blown out of proportion? It's not about how much contact he made, it was an unprovoked attack, yes Meyler shouldn't have pushed him but the player had walked away and the incident was all but over. Pardew went after him and reinstigated it. It was aggressive and there was intent there regardless of whether he hit him with any power or not, that's indefensible. Utterly unprofessional and utterly embarrassing.

Exactly along the lines of what I was going to post, the biggest club statement made tonight was Ashley's public backing of Pardew, if ever there was a get-out clause to that 8 year contract it was this. The fact he hasn't taken action or even thought about it longer speaks deafening volumes of Ashley's acceptance of Pardew.

£100k fine, bollocks!!!

Just to clarify, I'm not condoning it, it shouldn't have happened and given his past exploits it's time he went, but I do think the incident is gaining a higher momentum because it's a story from our circus act and not a club from Dahn Sahf or one of the media darlings in Manchester. That's the only thing that gets my back up.

I voted yes, but not for this incident in particular, this just one of a string of examples of him embarrassing the club, if it was an isolated incident then no.

I bet there's plenty of managers that have perhaps done worse behind closed doors, Ferguson and his alleged hair dryer treatment comes to mind? His only mistake was doing it in front of the world media who can't wait to report on the NUFC circus. It was stupid, no question, it shouldn't be accepted. I don't like the guy and would be one of the first rejoicing if he got the push for it but how many would be calling for Ferguson's head had he have done something similar?

Don't think he'll go, the mans made of fucking Teflon! Still wouldn't begrudge Ashley of using this is a way to bin him.

Probably not but they did sack Donachie for same thing? - Can't be having a Manager / non-playing staff doing that. Highly hypocritical if he doesn't go and surely gives Donachie some sort of ammunition for unfair dismissal?

The problem is if the stumbling block for Ashley canning him was the masochistic 8 year contract then surely this would be tantamount to an acceptable sackable offence without the need for compensation? Gross misconduct in any walk of life.

Sorry if Giggs: http://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/bookies-suspend-betting-on-newcastle-boss-alan-pardew-getting-the-axe-as-graeme-souness-brands-his-position-untenable-9162708.html

Rather at odds for giving Pardew his credit for setting a team up the way we've all wanted all year, but he's finally done it, will he learn from it though or tinker? Great performance all round, Anita bosses the midfield, it was good Pardew recognised how well he did when Tiote went off last week and started this game with him going forward instead of Tiote. Best movement off the ball we've had all season.

Get the fuck in!!! 4 goals!?!???!??!!??

So embarrassing for Hull here, all three gifted, not taking away from us cuz there was still a lot to do, but they're helping our cause more than theirs!

Hope to he'll we finally have a full game where we play well. We need to keep pressing, if we look to defend this lead in the second half we'll be in trouble. Don't let Pardew in the changing room ffs please!

:lol: :lol:

We need to keep the ball on the grass, we're losing too many challenges in the air.

Just so long as we don't spend the next 75 minutes "containing"

A goal.... Without Remy?!? Definitely Pardogeddon!

What a fucking great play, awesome save, great goal!!

Krul you fucking hero!!!

Nice Goof

We used to, it's mostly Wonga blue with a hint of B&W these days.

Now for the tactics and gameplan... If all 3 happens at the same time i think we can safely assume that hell has in fact frozen over. Its the Pardocalypse!! Pardageddon !! Pardocaust !

Unless we win, then he can use his absence to validate his removal from the team [/cynic]
