Yes indeed. Agree with every word.

Perhaps people have had some breathing space since last night, but I really don't know how anyone can even remotely justify prolonging his time here. How many chances does he get? How many 'wait and see' opportunities are we going to give him? I think we've passed that time now. 16 games left and no sign of any noticeable improvement in regards to results.

Aye. Turned off after that.

If you want to know what an easy ride this twat gets from the media, tune into 5live now. Ian Dennis spouting absolute shit - reckons Th substitutions were justified and that Cabaye went straight down the tunnel after he went off for treatment. Absolutely no reference to the piss poor record we've had this season - kept bleating about finishing 5th last year, etc. Probably made worse that the caller wasn't arguing,like. Just accepted what he was being told.

Completely agree. New manager takes precedence over new players for me atm. Am convinced even with the current lot that someone more competent could keep us up. Both would be nice, like.

Aye but this lad is stepping into a relegation battle and may need time to settle where as Colo has shit loads of experience. He has to be here until may im afraid. Absolutely right. Would like to see the club put their foot down on this. We need Colo desperately. Tell him he can go at the end of the season. As TT says, though, the writing is pretty much on the wall if rumours of the 60k contract for M'Biwa are true.

It's he obstinacy/arrogance to rectify what appear to be very basic errors - I.e. Shola,on the wing, not pressing once in front, defensive subs...I could go on. He's a fucking moron of epic proportions and I hope fans continue to give him shit until he fucks off.

Genuine question: why has Ashley not binned him yet? Even before yesterday there were plenty of reasons to get shot.

Will be QP-fucking-R I bet. Ffs.

Wonder if Golfmag has any inside info?

This is the key one IMO. If the preparation doesn't work, we're f***ed. So one-dimensional and brittle. The problem is, plan a doesn't work either. Can't win from behind, can't win when we're infront Aye. Got to laugh or you'd cry really. Can only hope that Ashley saw what was going on on AND off the pitch yesterday. If not, someone need only email him the statistics listed above. It's a damning indictment.

Tbh, I'm just hoping beyond hope that we'll only hear about his sacking once he's actually on his way, ala Adkins at Soton.

As others have said, can't believe this cunt is dodging the media bullet. Astounding that there's fuck about him being in trouble in today's rags.

Cannot describe how I feel atm. Just numb. Cannot understand why Pardew threw that away. Supporting this club right now is like watching your dog get put down. You know what's caused the problem, and you know they're not long for this world, but there's absolutely fuck all you can do about it. There's no question that we could sign Messi and we'd still struggle under this tosser's tactics. If today showed one thing is that we're capable of playing 'ok' (on the evidence of the 1st half) with the squad we have. For me therefore, if its a choice between sticking with AP for the remainder of the window so as we can bring in a couple of new faces or getting rid now I'd certainly prefer the latter.

Norwich, Wigan, Us. In any order.

Hold on a minute, he had attacking options if he wanted to keep us going forward but he replaced an attacking player with a defensive one. Dman right Mick. As far as I'm concerned it's absolutely irrelevant who we bring in this month. We won't improve. The guy doesn't have a clue and as shown today he's incapable of changing his philosophy. People thinking otherwise ought to give their heads a shake.

Absolutely right, Wullie. I do find it quite astonishing that as yet he's yet to experience any real pressure from the media. I mean, look at the stuff that was thrown at Rodgers at the beginning of the season. You then take a look at our results and wonder why Pardew's not experienced anything similar.

Even if we went down, I'd have faith that we'd be in good hands with Adkins.

Tbh, I don't trust Ashley whatsoever to make the right decision in the interests of the club. He'll stick with Pardew through obstinacy rather than foresight.

After the Villa gam it'll be far far too late. If Pardew's tactical ineptitude and general defeatist attitude wasnt enough, while Ashley fannies about trying to placate his casino buddy our relegation rivals are making up ground quickly.

Hope we fans remember that comment at the next game. He's treating us like absolute fucking cretins.

It was only a week ago he said tiote won't be missed that much considering the modest season he was having. Now a sudden change of tune. The fucking charlatan is always looking for the next excuse.
