Once they hit rock bottom with this clogger, there was nowhere else to go but up.

same issue remains now as it did then the lack of a buyer. There's nothing we can do about that, but at least we can make him uncomfortable about hiring out of work sales reps and clowns and giving them crucial positions at our club. This! I always have this argument with a couple of fans who are happy to accept Pardew as manager because "Ashley's the real problem". Of course Ashley is the real problem but it doesn't mean we have to accept a lying fraud as manager of this club. Ashley owns NUFC and will sell when he sees fit. Fine. He wants to run the playing squad on a shoe-string. Fine. At least hire someone who can actually do something with this squad of relatively talented players ffs. We need to protest against Pardew more than protesting against Ashley imo. He won't just pack it in and leave quietly. He has a business to sell and money to recoup. But we can force a rinky dink scrapheap manager out and hope that MA hires someone who can a) speak English, and b) play players in their correct positions for a start.

the only thing that could have chance of affecting him is a complete 100% boycott of St James which being realistic is never going to happen. And frankly I'm not sure even that would have any affect not with the huge premier league cash on offer it dilutes the impact of gates on the income and the more likely impact would simply be further costs cuts and he waiting until he finds someone to meet his asking price and not budging an inch til then. I disagree here. If our home gates were slashed down to 20k even 30k, there would be a lot of empty seats and the mainstream televized media (Sky, BT, Jazeera etc..) will pick it up and run with it. It will make it a global issue (as the PL is now), and make our case against Ashley even more prominent than Villa's with Ellis or Blackburn's with Venkys. It doesn't have to be a 100% boycott imo.

Didn't deserve to win. But we could easily have won that mid second half if we'd stepped up a gear.

No one wants to lose games, when this game rolls around I'll be willing us on to win with every fibre of my being. But I can understand merlin's thinking. We are going to lose plenty more games this season regardless. Would it be better to lose them drip-drip fashion and keep limping on, or lose 3 or 4 in a row which puts pressure on Ashley to act? The trouble with that rationale is that we could lose a few in a row to possibly get a change of manager/attitude from the club, but could go on to lose many more while we adjust/thin squad etc..., which could be disastrous. Win. Every game. Every kick every tackle every save every shot every half yard. Win.

Ended the week with 93 pts. Too depressed to enjoy it.

How the hell can this stupid cunt even think about not going full strength in this?? Yesterday's defeat was a nasty one, and it hurts even more this morning. It will still be a fresh open wound come Wednesday night and at SJP this could get very nasty for Pardew if he doesn't send a team out there to demolish citeh's reserves. This liar should stop worrying about the support and start worrying about the football.

Caulkin already on it as well. Wonder if he'll be reigned in by his employers.

Sundelrand were picking up all the loose balls, winning the headers and had more drive to go forwards. Not sure why Pardew set us up to sit off them and allow them to pick up all the loose balls etc. Cattermole was always in s*** loads of space. We made him look like Pirlo :lol: Canty believe Shitdrew had a week to plan for this game and churned that out. What a grade a plabbington. Needs to be given a leathal injection. Horribly true that about Cattermole. He's dog, and we made him look mega CP40 was raging, not one of our players or pardew twigged that Cattermole was starting all the play off from the back, always given loads of space and time. horrendous to see, he was basically waltzing around the middle of the park, no one near him. With three in mid we should dominate. Yup. He Cabaye'd us basically.

:lol: aye, i'd much rather watch the current lot over those legendary teams. You've been after "those certain posters" all day long. We all support the same club ffs. I'd far rather have our squad over the course of a season than the mackems'. It's been a couple of humiliating defeats no doubt, but nothing that can't be squarely blamed on the manager and his obvious bravery. British blood and thunder Pards. We all know (the 3 or 4 forum WUMs/idiots notwithstanding) that the manager is totally out of his depth. It doesn't excuse the lack of fight shown by the players for the past year or so. There's an obvious lack of harmony in the background. That is certain. The cliques thing has got to be true. We look disjointed in every department. As someone already said, Away Toon I think it was, the club is rotten from top to bottom. What we are witnessing on the pitch is but a symptom of it all.

I can't understand how that British core was more up for it than our foreign core twice in a row, it really puzzles me. Can't wait till the 3rd defeat in a row to still ponder this great f***ing mystery. It's not a mystery at all. First time round they had a new manager just before the derby. We had been utter shite, and coming off a Pards midweek excuse. This time round, they have a new manager playing his first home game. Desperate for a win. Sunder1and. Bottom of the league. Etc..etc.. I'd say the circumstances have played into their hands quite a bit on both occasions. That's not absolving any salaried member of NUFC from blame, but come on. It's nowt to do with them being foreign.

Agreed. They don't have derbies in johnny foreignland. Bring the cloggers in. Cloggers humped us twice in a row. You enjoy the no heart performances, it's what you deserve. No I don't ffs. Get a proper manager in and the players will respond. Yes the squad is too "french", but to blame it on having non-British players is clutching at straws. They're all humans who feel and understand the emotions of a fierce rivalry. Our proper British manager hasn't got a clue how to motivate them. Edit: And when I say motivate, I'm talking about the enjoyment of playing in a local derby and not the fear of it.

Shut the f*** up, retard. jozy didn't score. deuce is gutted right now. Of course he didn't score. He's fucking shit. Woeful footballer who makes Ameobi look a bit like Dugarry.

Not against this rabble. I'm fucking foaming here man Wor lass has allowed for an unscheduled blowjob though. The apathy might set in after that.

Should be sacked for the shenanigans he pulled off in the first half alone. That's not to mention the motivation and concentration levels we started with, or the stupid substitutions. Get to fuck you lying impostor.

Divy Cuntidore

Doesn't look like he wants to be here tbh.

GET THE FUCK INNNNNNNNNN FFSSSSSSSSSS

YESSSSSSSSSS

Haidara being talked to as well. Sticking with 442. Fuck me.

Nah man. He's our most dangerous player when played correctly. We need to break in numbers, and we're not doing that. Players need to MOVE when he's on the ball, we're not doing that. He needs to be wide on the right so he can actually see what's in front of him, and not playing with his back to goal.

Yup. Gouffran not had his usual zest and doing little to protect Debuchy.
