Its relegation form (and performances) all season. This season is a right off thanks to this useless prick. If we stay up at the end of the season (or he even makes it that far) then he can fuck right off. He's reduced everyone to accepting negativity and, if we're lucky, mediocrity. We're already relying on other teams to keep our head above water. I can't wait for the day this hypocrite leaves NUFC. Hughton was by no means perfect for us but Christ, he was a million miles better than what we have now.

I don't buy into the 'we've got too many good players to go down' theory. We've been completely outclassed by the likes of Reading and Southampton this year and if we lose next weekend as well then the prospect of relegation will become a very real possibility- especially with a run of games consisting of Man Utd, Arsenal and Everton. Before you know it, you're right in the thick of a deep mess that is very hard to get out of. Next win is absolutely massive. Play like we did 2nd half today and we'll beat them.

In the past when the chips have been down, we're coming up against a strong team and have lots of injuries we tended to raise our game and give it a good go i.e Man Utd at home when Edgar scored. You can guarantee it won't happen under this tosspot though. Instead we'll fold and blame injuries and how nothing has gone our way this season whilst discouraging any sort of ambition when it comes to competing against the best, 'the fans have to realise this and be patient'. 0-4 Man City.

He said the other day that "nothing has gone our way this season". Has it fuck! No Alan, realise that you've set us back 10 years and kindly fuck off.

Most people don't remember how shit we were for a lot of games last season, too. Without Cisse (especially) and Ben Arfa in the second of last season we wouldn't have been bailed out half as much. Wolves, (A), Blackburn (A), Bolton (H), Wigan (H), QPR (H), Villa (H), mackems (debatable) (H), were all very lucky results that were ground out due to moments of excellence from individuals. All of which we were stumped ideas as we resorted to long ball 'tactics'. He winged last season. Fucking winged it. He's getting found out now and his true colours are shining now.

We're relying on the teams below us to maintain their horrendous form, too. If they find points, we're screwed.

A good first 2 minutes and then lost 1-5.

After that horrific showing against West Ham last month I got stuck in to Pardew and said how much I didn't rate him and what a burden to this clubs progression he is. I got completely ridiculed for it, yet only a matter of weeks later here we are. This is not in any way an 'I told you so' post, but it amazes me how oblivious people were to Pardew's incompetence, and how certain people like Otter were hiding behind that pathetic excuse of 'Oh but he finished 5th last year, leave him alone', bullshit. Get him out now. He's an absolute disgrace, a leech only happy just to be associated with a big club like NUFC, despite drowning pathetically in the deep end. He is what is wrong with English football, he is at the centre of the disease choking English football and, more specifically, Newcastle United Football Club. Pardew's decision to substitute Ben Arfa tonight completely justifies his lack of bottle, his lack of guile and intelligence as a manager. He lost us that game tonight just like he's lost us half the games we've played this season. We're banking on mackems, Reading and QPR all to not find form so to keep us in this division. Hopefully Southampton and Norwich run out of steam as well, but we've already kicked the bucket as far as I'm concerned. This season is a right off already. Blame the lack of investment in the squad, I agree, but fuck you Alan Pardew, you spinless little cunt hiding behind all your excuses and contradictions. Get the fuck out of this club- possibly the most negative manager to darken St.James' Park in a long, long time. Things have got to change before its too late. Pardew Out.

:lol:

I think we have AC Milan the week after...

Couldn't be happier hearing this, little cunt. I really wouldn't bat an eyelid if he had to retire. He's an absolutely vile person.

Some people at SJP do, but they are morons.

He's so much better than that piece of shit we have here, I'd love him at SJP. Very unrealistic, however.

Needs to shoot more, doesn't do that enough. Should give the ball to the opposition more as well, doesn't do that enough.

FYP

That's an incredibly depressing read. Just shows how low English football has sunk. It really is such a load of over-hyped rubbish (Premiership). If English football ever does make a 'U-Turn' back to its roots, it won't be for a very long time- and by then it'll probably have completely lost the traditional working class, hardcore support that has been the lifeblood of the game in this country for so long. It is incredible that the remaining hardcore fans have made so many sacrifices to follow their team up and down the country, sticking by their club when households all over the country are being completely stretched financially yet still dishing out a criminal amount of money to watch a game of football. The prices that Liverpool, Chelsea, Spurs, Arsenal, Man City and Man United all charge for away (and home) fans especially is sickening. If people don't go then the prices will eventually have to be lowered. But when tourists/fans from abroad are more than willing to lap up surplus tickets neglected by the locals, it sums it up tbh. Football in this country is just completely backwards. From grassroots to elite level, on the pitch and off it.

St. James' Park.....

Seems an impossible idea to argue against. If we were allowed a say in the way NUFC was run I would be delighted. I feel that if fans pump money into the club (as we all know, there wouldn't be a club without fans) then they have a right to have a say in how it's run, not be completely frozen out and disregarded. English football is just rotten, tbh. Personally, I don't think it will ever change, but if it does it won't be for a very long time.

I absolutely hate the way when we retrieve possession from a corner or committed attack, Krul (which he is obviously instructed to do) waits until the opposition are all back in position along with us, and then he knocks it long and we lose it (again). I appreciate the fact that this can be good to calm things down and take the sting out of the game, but with players like Jonas, Cisse, Ba and Santon, why don't we focus on trying to hit teams on the break???! Get wide, push out immediately. It's all so negative. Doing this played right into Stokes hands. We allowed them to set up and swallow up the long ball. Pardew's a buffoon, man.

Think I might cry if we lose this one. This season is becoming such a nightmare...

I'm miles better than this useless cunt. How is he a professional footballer? Just fuck off man.

Always good to get your first sentence completely wrong Fine, we had about 2 other shots in the second half. Whoopdie doo!

Loss. They'll run rings around us.

We had one chance the whole match and we scored it. Good in the sense that we actually took our chance, but depressing that once again we created next to nothing against an absolutely woeful team- lets face it, Stoke are absolutely appalling. Stoke completely overran us in midfield, despite us attempting to play 3 in there. Why? Because there was no pressing whatsoever, we just backed off and let them knock it long. We completely pussied out. The first 30-35mins were actually OK. We created nothing but refrained from hoofing it and attempted to keep the ball, but yet again no penetration. After that we slow resorted to bad habits and wellied it up to Ba and Cisse to try and figure something out with it. Conceding was only a matter of time as we completely dropped off yet didn't seem to have much of a clue as to how to defend against them- Etherington and Jones destroying Simpson and Williamson. Tonight Pardew had the choice to drop either Simpson or Williamson but bottled it. I know people say 'oh but we had to load the midfield', but why not play an attacking midfielder in there as well i.e Marveaux instead of three defensive bloody midfielders! Reduce the amount of liabilities in the starting team and life will be easier, but no he still cant realise. We'll get absolutely bummed by Wigan on Monday. They're a semi-decent footballing team and the way we're set up anyone can beat us. Get Pardew out, ASAP. Absolutely disgraceful.

Relegation stuff this. Massively worrying. What a cowardly performance.
