Pretty confident we'll lose. Like many though, I'm hoping we do which is a sorry state to have to be in as a fan

My feelings have changed. Actually looking forward to seeing him play football again. Would have been great for it to have been with us again but actually, his return may have in fact helped us win games, which would inadvertently would have kept Pardew in the job longer

I'm more interested in watching Hull games this season than ours. Says it all really.

Only small silver lining is that he will be able to shut up all the idiots who have slagged him off amongst our supporters and ofcourse show up Pardew for being the utter fucking useless twat most of us know he is. Fucking hollow victory though

This has killed me. Atleast before there was still hope that pardew would eventually get sacked and players like Ben Arfa and Mapou would be recalled by a new manager. Now there is fuck all hope and Pardew has fucking won.

We failed to get rid of him before he could do serious damage to this club. Pardew wins

This is just awful

If he goes today, I know it's a comment thrown around a lot, but I really think I'd be done with this club until that cunt has been removed.

Just like with Souness and the whole Bellamy and Robert thing. This banishment of Hatem and Mapou purely because the manager is a cunt with a massive ego is going to have a long term negative impact.

I miss Hatem

N'zogbia concerns me today

Would feel so much happier about the rest of this season if he was involved in the first team

Wow what a dream debut that would have been if that had nestled into the net. Not sure he could have ever lived up to the hype that would have followed if it had though

Everything was there apart from the composure and finishing. Hope he gets more support in the future. When he dropped deeper and got involved in the build up he looked really good, which bodes well for if he plays off someone else for example.

I find it really strange Pardew isn't at the very least keeping Ben Arfa involved enough so he can throw him on when we're behind for the old "bit of magic".

Yep. Was so obvious he would come out with that. Didn't expect him to get it in before we've even kicked off though.

All that bullshit about sticking to your principles and not letting anyone question you even if your on a losing run??! So it sounds as if the rumour is true then. Ben Arfa openly questioned Pardew's "football philosophy" so the king banished him for "the good of the group"

Get so emotional watching those videos and thinking I'm probably never going to see him play for us again We've still have never had a genuine and acceptable excuse from Pardew as to why he's frozen out either.

Hello Alan, Stop being a massive cunt please. Thanks, Alex

I still can't believe he's banned from an open training session. So unbelievably petty that it's difficult to believe it's true.

Great video. So sad. He's everything I enjoy about football and it's a crime that we've been robbed from seeing that talent on a regular basis. Just watching that video, reminds me of the fact that fucktard barely played him at all first half of the 11/12 season, preferring fucking obertan and r.taylor
