Cock Piss Pardew Fuck Off.

What happens if by some miracle we end up winning silverware under Pardew? That will never happen due to him being gash. And always will be. As I was saying, it was a hypothetical question, but there's a part of me that has a deep-seated fear of the absurd or unpredictable happening. Just like you know there will be a small gaggle of twats hanging round outside the club tomorrow to welcome Pardew and probably even give him a welcoming round of applause. You know it'll happen. But does it really matter? It wouldn't be the same anyway. It won't happen, but I admire your desperation ot cling to something. Don't worry, you'll be free of it soon.

Of course yes, but asked in earnest. Hypothetical answer then: Assuming I lived back over there, I would stick to my guns and not go.

Hypothetical question then?

Normally I find myself agreeing with what you write and I used to feel like that, but I just can't do it any more I just feel worn down by things. This change makes no sense whatsoever, not a bit. The supporters for change managed to do some good by not attending games, maybe that time has come again. I'm not completely unaware of the conflict that exists in probably every single one of us between wanting on the one hand to remain loyal to the team, keeping the faith, supporting the Toon and on the other just not being able to take any more of Ashley's s**** and wanting to take action to spur him on to sell up and f*** off. If I'm completely honest, what I said before was as much about reinforcing the message in my own head as it is to reinforce the message in other peoples' heads. We were here before Mike Ashley, and we'll be here long after the b****** us gone and all. But it is a hard knock to take, is this... Yep and when he does go I'll get interested again. It's like any relationship, you can only take so much then something snaps. If there was an ounce of common sense to this, something I could cling to, to get me through this I'd find it, but this looks like a deal done over a roulette table on a Saturday night piss up down 'the club'. Ashley has no emotional attachment to the club, so why should I allow him to keep doing this to me? Sorry, but that's it until he's gone.

Probably that they'll be pissed off as well, but they get paid to do a job and that should come first. Don't blame them for being pissed and wouldn't blame anyone for leaving in January.

this is unreal man Why exactly is it 'unreal'? I live in Australia and have done since Jan 2009, before that I had a season ticket for 23 years.

Pardew must be insane, he's a dead man walking. That's it for now. No watching on TV, no merchandise, nothing. I'll look for the results but that's it until Ashley has gone.

Colin the agent says Despite contact with MON and Jol, Alan Pardew will be named the next #nufc manager on a contract through till the end of the season

No. I'm finished with NUFC until he goes, not because I really dislike him, I've just had enough of Ashley now. It feels like I'm wasting precious minutes of my life on the club while Ashley is here. Never thought I'd ever say that. Never.

Is this Golfmag? http://twitter.com/#!/cwarr07 Colin is an agent apparently

Caulkin on twitter: Said all along #Nufc has been a fragile coalition. Now in pieces. Forget crap about senior player unrest - they're as upset as anyone.

Newcastle United manager Chris Hughton has been sacked amid fears the club was entering a prolonged period of stability. Owner Mike Ashley is understood to be concerned that Newcastle were on course to achieve Premier League survival and limit their appearances on tabloid front pages to just one a week. A club statement signed by Mike Ashley read: “Wotcha! It’s my wonga, my party” “This is boooooooooooooooring. I’ve decided to mix it up a bit. That’s what I do. “We should be challenging for Europe, given I’ve bankrolled moves for big name players such as Leon Best and Wayne Routledge.” Fans are growing accustomed to mixed results with some excellent victories at home to Sunderland and on the road against Arsenal and Everton. And there has been a growing feeling inside St James’s Park that the club was becoming just like any other normal Premier League outfit. Former Aston Villa boss Martin O’Neill is the bookmakers’ early favourite to replace Hughton. O’Neill quit Villa Park just months ago after finding it difficult to work with Randy Lerner, reputably the best owner in football. The smart money is on Joe Kinnear to return to St James’s Park and finish the job he started. “I’ve always f*cking said I’d go back to Geordieland,” he told The News Grind. “I spoke to Mike (Ashley) and told him that if he really needs to put the club back on f*cking course for implosion, I’m his f*cking man.”

This. This. This. Also, Hughton should have been given time to really learn over the next few years, I had a feeling we really had someone who could have developed the team and turned into a top class manager. Good luck Chris.

Are some of our players Jedi's? They seem to be making someone float in the first two pics.

Yeah.... that's what some people thought about Japan/Korea. sorry, but i just have to flag up the fact that you're seemingly comparing Qatar, a country that a few years back was one big sand dune, to the ancient cultures of Japan and Korea, with their rich heritages and many, many millions of people, cultural and technological accomplishments, legacies of artistic and scientific brilliance, high levels of human development, well respected civil societies, freedom of the press and so on. who the hell said Japan/Korea had no culture or atmosphere? idiotic in the extreme. qatar is just a few dozen rich royals who probably live in london or paris paying off some corrupt bastards in order to stage an event that they should never have even been considered for. Japan and Korea are some of the most well respected and most well developed countries on the planet. it's kind of like comparing newcastle with sunderland... What’s idiotic is your totally irrelevant and off the point post. Frankly, I couldn’t care less about those factors that you mentioned. Stick to football, thanks. When nessy asks “how any culture and atmosphere is going to be generated in the place” I instantly thought about the atmosphere and the passion in the stadiums. This is what I was certainly referring to. I don’t know how off the pitch events held a thousand miles away is going to spoil your enjoyment of the world cup. f***ing hell…. only few weeks back there was a thread saying politics and religion shouldn’t mix with football. Were you one of those people that agreed with that, by any chance? It shouldn't, but can't see what that's got to do with what he posted.

Someone posted the first part of his comments earlier, but for me Taylor sums it up perfectly. Former England manager Graham Taylor also dismissed criticism of the media and said nothing about Fifa surprised him any more. "I'm just surprised that we're surprised," he said. "Fifa is an organisation that doesn't have to answer to anyone. What did we expect? "Fifa for me is full of people who say 'yes' to your face and 'no' behind your back. Their reputation has not changed over many years. "England have had little or no influence. We are considered to be arrogant and know-alls." He also defended the English media, whose investigations into Fifa have been cited by some people as one of the reasons for the bid's failure. "I'm not one of those blaming Panorama or the Sunday Times - this has been going on for years," he said. "I just have a feeling that perhaps, just perhaps, it might now be time... they really need looking into, they should really be investigated - and of course our journalists are very good at that." Taylor also criticised the decision to give the 2022 World Cup to Qatar, adding on BBC Radio 4's PM programme: "It really is surprising. Where is the heart and soul of football in Qatar? And yet that decision has been made."

I think it's pretty obvious that by him saying they 'want' to sabotage our bid, he means that it will sabotage our bid. So watch out basically. Warner means "I'm worried that this programme will reveal me to be the corrupt, sleazy b****** that I am, so I will threaten not to vote for England to try and get it taken off air." Bingo. Didn't he try and pull some shit a year or so ago with Beckham having to talk to him or something. It's quite clear there is a whole load of corruption going, hopeful this will have some substance and really piss a few of them off.

But didn't the Williamson incident happen fairly early in the match, if so I don't buy that.

I'd like to think that the BBC had already thought of them being public enemy number 1 if that is the case. Nothing qrong in them screening it and then passing on the info.

Fifa vice-president Warner attacks BBC investigation Jack Warner and David Beckham Warner has met former captain and bid ambassador David Beckham Fifa vice-president Jack Warner has made a scathing attack on the BBC Panorama programme examining the bidding to stage the 2018 World Cup. The documentary will air three days before the 2 December vote, and Warner said: it was "deliberately designed to negatively impact" on England's bid. Warner, whose vote is seen as crucial to England's hopes, claims the programme is "a personal vendetta". The BBC said the programme on 29 November is "in the public interest". Warner, a government minister in Trinidad, is president of the Concacaf federation covering North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football, and could deliver three of the 22 FIFA executive members' votes to England. He has been invited to lunch in Zurich by Prime Minister David Cameron ahead of the vote, and David Beckham met him while opening a coaching clinic in Trinidad in September. Warner, who said last week that he had still to decide which way he would vote, spoke of his dissatisfaction with the Panorama investigation in a vehement e-mail to Press Association Sport. "I am sure it's a personal vendetta. But it is sooooooooooo stupid... for it can have no effect on me personally or on anyone else in Fifa for that matter." Warner added that there was no new material in the programme and that he was not losing sleep over it. BBC Panorama responded by saying: "Panorama has a reputation for strong, independent and probing investigative journalism. The findings of the Panorama investigation into Fifa will be in the public interest." Last week England 2018 leaders branded the BBC "unpatriotic" for screening the investigation so close to the vote, fearing it will lead to a backlash from Fifa members.y Speaking in June, Warner gives his views on the bid The furore follows an undercover investigation by the Sunday Times in October in which it was alleged that Fifa members Amos Adamu and Reynald Temarii asked for money in return for voting on World Cup hosting rights. Adamu, from Nigeria, was later suspended from all footballing activity by Fifa's Ethics Committee for three years, while Tahitian Temarii received a one-year suspension. Both were also handed fines. They are now prohibited from taking part in the vote to decide who will host the 2018 and 2022 World Cup finals. England face competition from Netherlands/Belgium, Russia and Spain/Portugal for the 2018 tournament. The host of the 2022 contest will also be decided on 2 December, with Australia, Japan, Qatar, South Korea and the United States competing for the rights. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/9217976.stm Have been following the panorama vs FIFA thing for a bit and I'm glad they didn't pull the plug on the programme, it should be interesting to see a tiny fragment of the corruption that goes on. Warner is right though, the people at the top will be protected and it might harm England's bid, but is that a reason to not expose what they've found? It looks like they've got FIFA running scared a bit though with all of these threats.

Elmander must act like a prick on the pitch, Williamson doesn't seem hot-headed or anything and it's not the first time something has happened to Elmander this season and the reaction of Colocinni seems to confirm something was going on. He must be up to something. Can't understand the bashing of Williamson or Taylor on here, it's not as if they stick out as a real weak link like Perch. Get behind which one is in the centre, stop picking faults. The whole thing does stick on your throat a bit after the De Jong thing went unpunished.

Yeah, probably the same two who were on over here in OZ. They will probably have been the commentators from the football first highlights. Slightly biased, clearly building Bolton up from the start and have Kevin Davies down as Englands no 1 centre forward. Haven't read some of the thread so not sure whether it's been mentioned, but is Owne Coyle starting to become a less orange parody of Phil Brown?? All of the jumping around in the 'technical area', the stupid grins and smirks and the over the top dramatics are really annoying and show a lack of respect. He's obviously done a good job at Bolton but he's rapidly turning into someone I'll take great pleasure in seeing his press conf when he eventually does get the boot.

Nope, just ban people who use religion to cause trouble. Surely asking for the assistance of God is an attempt to cheat? Even if a blatant appeal for divine assistance does not contravene the laws of the game, it's certainly mixing football and religion. Well obviously you want me to type that, so ok then, ban it.
