Concur with the 'fuck off' view. Fuck off Pards. Humiliating performances and bereft of ideas. Fucking Stoke cunts, man.

Sorry, like, but if we want to stay in this league Pardew's got to go. I know we're short on bodies and all but he's absolutely bereft of ideas.

Nice to see Pards giving it a go, like.

Bang on.

Absolutely no fight or determination in the players whatsoever. Change it now Ashley, before it's too late.

Frustrated and angry beyond words here, like.

Was simply delighted that we'd done so well, but I don't think even the most loyal fan could deny that on many occasions last year we looked far from a top 5 side. Would love to know the last side that finished top 5 that got thrashed by 4 or 5 against Wigan, Fulham and Spurs. As mentioned, a combination of good fortune and sublime individuality played a part. Not saying that Pardew didn't play a role, of course, but it's fucking obvious he's lost the plot.

Fingers firmly crossed on that one.

In a nutshell why Pardew needs to go. Sorry, don't give a fuck if kneejerk. Sick of this bullshit - especially when it's so fucking obvious where the problems are.

Then I would suggest we're going to be fucked come May, then. Pardew won't turn this around. The rot has kicked in and the man is too fucking obstinate to make changes that are badly needed to see at least some, marginal, improvement.

Don't even joke about him. Might even be Venebles. Let's face it, only a knacker that's been out of the game for ages and desperate for an opportunity would work under the conditions imposed by Fat Ash. Let's see, who've we got out there at the moment? - Curbishley - Kean - Keane - Jewell The list could go on. But it's fucking worrying. I've never trusted MA to make a progressive, ambitious appointment. He's not done so in the 5 or so years he's been here so it won't change now.

Aye. Had enough. Fuck off now Pards.

I'm sorry, Pardew's fucking lost it, like. He's not a clue. Problems have been obvious for months and still there's no attempt to address them.

Let's hope he steps up. Been a complete passenger to date.

Get your shit together today please, lad.

Exactly. God damn disgrace. I find it even harder to accept when I saw the lineup today that Cisse is available. fuck off Pardew. Campbell or xisco or whatever or even no striker is ok but Ranger? Both injured.

Would love to know what Pardew's own ambitions are for the side this year if he's coming out with those comments. We spend an entire season aiming to get into Europe, we get there, then all he does is bitch and moan about it being a strain on the players. Would he rather we not be in Europe at all? If we were not, would results have been any different? Fwiw I think Pardew was more than happy to toe the party line in the summer when we didn't bring anyone in. Now the shit is hitting the fan it's a useful excuse. That's not to say I don't disagree with his rhetoric regarding squad size btw.

Absolutely. Was saying this to a mate yesterday. He's an absolute shit house of the highest order.

In a nutshell.

Bimpy you aren't half a sod to Mrs Bimps. Poor woman.

Very true. Can't see Ashley getting rid in spite of the shite we've been served up so far this season. We'd have to be bottom three by Christmas, I reckon, if Ashley was going to pull the trigger. Even if Pardew was to go, I wonder what manager worth his salt would be willing to work under this regime? Doubtless it'd be another chancer, another football dinosaur/relic who wouldn't otherwise be able to get a top flight job. Frustrating as fuck, but Pardew's got to be a safer bet for the time being. Not a chance in hell we'll ever be appointing a top draw manager under this lot.

Not surprised by this at all. Same old shit, different match. Just sort out the fucking problems!

- particularly the bit in bold. To blame the squad for Pardew's inability is a joke. Have to agree. It's up to the manager to get the best out of the players at his disposal. Whilst some are undoubtedly shit, it's up to Pardew to do something about it and the way in which they perform on a weekly basis. Did we look a better side on paper that Swansea, West Brom, Norwich, etc. Absolutely. But we're nowhere near looking like a better team.

I'd be more inclined to give him my full backing if I thought he was taking steps to remedy some of the all too obvious flaws in our performances. But frankly we're seeing the same shit every week. You can pretty much predict the trajectory of our game plan these days: slow start, slight improvement after 20, slight attempt at passing the ball about a bit, back to hoofing, etc. As things stand I'm not seeing any improvement whatsoever in the set-up or otherwise.
