No contest, Martinez every time

LEGEND. That is all.

Pardew stays and I'll be a firm 9-10 for most of the season. Depends what he can do with the new player(s) we get in the summer before he destroys them. New player bounce is usually the only way he gets results #sustainable

Staggering these. Tempted to start a "Pardew's Unwanted Records" thread to complement his Official Excuses thread, just so there is somewhere else to point people to who say "Pardew is doing an alright job". Three Pardew threads would sadden me though. One is too many. OP should just be THE LIST On another note it's disgusting that one more season under this fraud and he'll have been here longer than Keegan was!

We have scored 3 at SJP in 2014, so if we don't score against Cardiff, we will have scored the same amount of goals at Sunderland at SJP for at least 7 months. Skewed slightly by the summer break but still incredibly poor, just another incredulously shit statistic to add to the ever growing pile.

Correct me if I'm mistaken but unless we score against Cardiff we will have scored the same amount of league goals as Sunderland at St James' Park in potentially 8-9 months (next season IF we score then)?

Good job HF

That Townsend's defence of Lampard was cringeworthy. He clearly motions his arm towards the ball "He wasn't trying to handball it." Slow-mo replay shows him throwing his shoulder out to control the ball, Townsend "He'd never purposefully handball it." Blind bias if ever I heard it, too much

Pardew has put us in some kind of desperation like. I would take pretty much anyone over Pardew right now but you have to stop and think. As HTT put it, a Moyes type of appointment would get us results and have us performing better, but who wants a slightly more resilient Pardew team? One thing has always been said about us is that we just want to be entertained, I could handle 8th place finishes if it meant we were playing attack minded, fluid football, taking the game to the opposition and playing to OUR strengths. Having a go at every team in the league, no fear. That's not much to ask right? Surely even Ashley must realise that it's no longer financially sound to back a manager that devalues players and requires a regular influx of new playing staff to ruin at every window just to survive? Ashley's blueprint of a self perpetuating club is a pipe dream with this clown in charge. Get rid of Pardew please, but just as importantly, don't replace him with like for like, even someone who's better at it. We want good football and to get the best out of his investment Ashley needs someone with a good footballing philosophy.

Hmm Yeah but all managers It's the wind

I just wanted to say the thread seems to have gotten a little off subject so... Pardew is a cunt

Oh it does.... 4) Must not finish higher than 8th place 5) Must try to go out of cup competition at earliest round/opportunity Yeah that's very true actually, you could sort of fit that into number 3. Or, change it to 'must always do as he's told'. I don't buy into that, I believe our priority is the league and Pardew cannot sustain league survival and cup games so as it's not a priority he's happy to drop out and Ashley's not arsed. However if a manager could get a run in a cup and still win league games I don't think Ashley would be arsed either. It doesn't cost us anything and we make a small amount of money from it, why would he be bothered? Once Pardew is gone we will hopefully get someone who is willing to give it a run in the cups, depends who that is though.

Shows how far we've fallen, you think we'd even consider Sherwood as youth coach if FS was still here? Not that I'm advocating the fat bastard back, we've just been well and truly Pardewed/Ashleyed! Given where we're at though, any stepping stone, any at all right now would suffice. Anyone post the Daily Mail piece about the club/fans? Nail on head I'm afraid.

Been at Blackpool Pleasure Beach all day, was hoping to come home to some good news! As it stands, he's on the ropes, he's not coping, I don't think it's long now, I'm sure of it.

Anyone old enough to remember the fabled ET game? Dubbed so bad by the critics the developers buried all the copies in a giant hole, just saying.

Taking Pardew out the question none of them deserve a bonus, so hope it's 11th, plus 3 more losses has got to put the pressure on Pardew, surely! 8 loss finish to the season?! Ain't nobody got time fo dat!

I think we'll end up 11th on goal difference with that run in.

As i tell my kids, saying sorry means nothing if you continue to carry on as before. Sick of hearing sorry from the players and manager, do something about it you numbnuts. Spoken like a true dad

Do they have to airlift this egomaniac into the stadium?!? Surely there's no doors big enough for his over-inflated ego to fit through. Unbe-fucking-leavable!

The most important thing is the process of making sure we win when we don't win in the process that's important mostly.

Wiv atem not playin today we waz not enuff fret

It's going to be another humiliating defeat isn't it? Pardew will probably blame oxygen and tell us we wuz more ov a fret or some other fake positive. In other news it's good to see the pre-match penis is back in action in the polls.

Definitely would have been posted but it's not the first time... Possibly also the worst thing he's ever come out with in terms of the dignity and respect bit. Detestable fuck doesn't deserve to utter the name, he wouldn't know dignity or respect if it bit him on his slimy arse. He's really starting to boil my piss, his every word is like nails down a chalkboard, unbearable and irritating. Surely he can't believe his own shit, either that or he's purposefully antagonising us now.

Right people need to stop posting so much if we want him gone before page 1000 ffs

Not bothered about that. Every time I see a fat sam team I just want them to lose. we have a winner (loser?)
