sturla

I will for the lolz. Yeah, I don't watch many games these days, just a habit the times I do.

Is anybody exited for this match??? Is anybody going to watch it?

Our players were just jogging back while City were on the break!

Lovely Burnley goal!

That was a foul by ospina!

Looks like we didn't want him now, but in the summer so we weren't even in for him now: http://www.mkweb.co.uk/Tottenham-Hotspur-Newcastle-United-Aston-Villa/story-25965551-detail/story.html? “Obviously we’d spoken to Newcastle and they were going to do a deal in the summer, but Dele wanted security now, and I understand that," said Robinson.

This thread should be called "NUFC outgoing rumours in the press"

From a Palace forum: Sounds very familiar, the frustration that the obvious is being ignored.

Hull have stopped pressing us, giving us massive space. We should be capitalizing on that!

Good goal!

That was a card on Dawson, shouldn't matter that it was so early.

He'll most likely do ok the next 2 seasons as the expectations there are to finish 17th. He'll also have players more suited to his style. I understand why Palace fans are pleased, he'll do better than Warnock. I'm also happy that he's gone and I wont watch Palace unless they are playing us. Was not a good fit with Newcastle, with our player recruiting, and with the type of football the fans like. Hopefully we can correct that with the new appointment. We really should close this thread!

Greed made out to be ambition!

Has played in 9 PL games scoring 2 goals. Minuets wise he has only played 4 full 90 minuets (351 min). He has also appeared 52 minuets in CL scoring 1 goal. No many players that leave us become more than bench material (Enrique, Ba, Carroll at Lpool, Cabaye). Debuchy is doing well at Arsenal although. Has also played 9 PL games, scoring 1 goal but with 793 min ( almost 9 full games).

Ashleys track record of hiring managers is a worry: Keegan - Ashley apointed a fan favorite. Things were different back then. Also tried to recruit Harry at the time. Kinnear - Apointed a buddy how had been long out of the game. Didn't last the season. Probably would have kept us up Shearer - Not sure if he was a fan favorite but he was very inexperienced and didn't do enough to keep us up. Hughton - Inexperienced but delivered on promotion. Pardew - Unemployed after been sacked from league 1. Recent record terrible (West Ham, Charlton, Southampton). Nothing in his past suggests he will go for the right man instead of the bargain option.

Last time Newcastle were appointing a manager the attraction to the job was at a all time low. Remember Jol becoming available, but was quick to announce he would not go for the job because of Newcastles treatment of Hughton. Newcastles track record was about 5 managers in 2 years (Sam, Keegan, Kinnear, Shearer, Hughton). Hopefully Newcastle is a more attractive option now, having the same manager for 4 years (and not sacking him in the end) and showing that the club will stick with their manager through bad times (don't think many other clubs would have stuck with Pardew through the horrible bad spells he has had). It is however clear that whoever is appointed that he will have little to say over transfers. A continental manager would be the best fit for us.

Heard that Cisse has some knee problem which is preventing him from starting games. Cisse is a goalscorer and is doing a decent job. His first touch is dogie and passing is bad which makes his dropping back very ineffective. Anyway, Perez is showing to be a real raw talent, could develop into a top player. His ability to hold the ball in tight situations is something we need more of.

He is better defending and attacking comparing to Debuchy!

Obertan is our only offensive outlet. Even though he is doing ok, it's still a very sad fact!

There are similarities with Pardew's position now and when he was at West Ham. He's got the team in a slump which he is unable to recover from. He is unable to use his best players, either benching them or not playing to their strengths. He is steering the ship slow and steady to relegation.

At Roma in 18 months time, looks too weak for this league at moment may change if we change manager and style of play, too rigid to make use of him at moment. Yeah, I might be so!

he will come good

Iceland winning Turkey 3-0 at home!

I understand people wanting Pardew away, so do I. But do you really think that if you support the opposition you will somehow contribute to that?

Funny this attitude seems to be most prevalent on here with fans based well away from Newcastle. Funny that. Something to prove? This has nothing to do with where you live. You seem to be from Newcastle and your not exactly the elite fan cheering on Palace! Plenty of supporters in the stadium that cheered the team on and most of them are from Newcastle.
