Posting live from the Benfica-Fenwt game. Great turn out, great atmosphere.

Aside from the pointless blue lines it isn't too terrible.  There's a noticeable difference in quality between football shirts these days and the ones we had in the 1990s as far as I can see.  Afraid to say, aside from the early Northern Rock one with the blue letters I haven't bought shirts since the last Newcastle Breweries one.  I just feel a bit daft paying to advertise a company with no connection to the city or region like NTL or Virgin Money. 

 

And there's no f'ing chance I'm going to pay £50 for the privilage of advertising a parasite like wonga.com.  The shirt could be made of the finest cashmere and the numbers made out of gold leaf and I still couldn't bear to walk around in public advertising them.

 

Apologies, raking up old ground probably and I might be sounding sanctimonious but I'd be suprised if shirt sales don't take a bit of a hit for that reason.

I've had every home shirt since the mid 1980s and I won't buy that shirt. Wonga can fuck right off and take their creepy TV ads with them.

On that predictor i've got us finishing 17th and staying up by a point

Me too, and that's with us getting 1 point in the last three games (against QPR) and Wigan getting 5 points.

Has Ron Manager been mentioned?

Horses are too big but I feel like punching a hedgehog.

We are in the cack now.

Seething at this smug prick. Completely fed up and beyond constructive debate now

Me too, been hovering around the news feeds at work all day and progressively getting more and more angry; now I'm fucking seething.

Aye they looked devastated yesterday as they did absolutely nothing to prevent the opposition running riot.

 

They didn't do enough but the game was lost before it had kicked off.

Do you not credit players (or individuals) with any human agency?

Pardew is not controlling the players movements from the side of the pitch.

I manage people and, in turn, am managed by others higher up the food chain. I wouldn't dream of under performing in order to make my boss's plan purposely fail, no matter how I'll thought out I felt it was.

Why? Because it's unprofessional and the impact on my organisation, which I actually care about, could be disastrous.

The game was lost before a ball was kicked? Shame no-one told 50,000 Toon fans beforehand.

Depressed like much of the other with being told to play against their strengths out of position and against their natural instincts to enjoy playing free flowing football.

 

The whole coaching set up needs shooting. Yes men all round and gutless.. no surprise it is rubbing off on our players at least half of which could be playing for most clubs in the league.

This view lets the players off the hook.

Oh, they don't like the tactics or don't like playing out of position? The poor dears, they could always fuck off and get a real job.

Whilst Pardew is nominally steering the ship (or at least he's supposed to be) and is ultimately responsible for this disastrous season, the players have just participated in our worst home performance in living memory (confirmed by some fans who have been watching since the 1960s).

Pardew will carry the can and he should because he is out of his depth and has patently lost the trust and support of the players but Pardew didn't take a corner during the game or hit a sloppy pass, or fail to pick up an opposition player.

As clueless as Pards is I'm pretty sure he didn't instruct the players to stand still when they had the ball. Although he's obviously responsible for the amount of aimless hoofs upfield.

I'm angry at Pardew but yesterday's gutless performance can largely be laid at the feet of the players who should be ashamed, as professionals, by such a capitulation.

Whatever s**** Pardew tells them (and I hold him responsible for nearly all of our problems), it doesn't excuse the lack of effort, basic skill and decision-making we've seen from the players today. If we'd lost 2-0 or 3-0 then yeah, but losing 6-0 at home is unforgivable and it shouldn't happen even with no manager at all.

Exactly, we have no leaders on the pitch who can take charge when things are going wrong.

Straight down the tunnel the cowardly cunt.

I think this is probably the worst performance I've seen from a NUFC team since I started watching in 1985.

Ok, maybe he is gone now!

People think Pardew won't get sacked after this?

 

Okay.

I don't.

Utterly gutless performance, if we're calling for Pardew to be sacked then half the team should be as well.

 

You're not serious, man?

 

The players don't deserve a bonus, but I find it astounding that you seem to indicate that the buck doesn't stop at Pardew for managing these players and building a team out of them.

Pardew is an idiot but he hasn't taken a corner today, fluffed a cross, ran into trouble or failed to track a man.

The players need to take some responsibility because they have utter bilge.

Fucking brain dead these players.

Think it must be the ink from all their gash tats.

Fuck, that's it!!!! Mass walkout.

Liverpool will be able to put their shirts straight in the kitbag for next week, they've not had to break sweat.

Better make sure the vicinity around St James' is kept clear of horses at full time.

So much dross in our starting XI.

 

So little technical ability.

All of those players have technical ability, it's the easy things they are not doing: simple pass and move and pressing the ball.

Pardew: The players were tired from (watching) the Europa League Semi-Final.

If he stays he desperately needs someone to come in to help with the coaching/training. It's clearly beyond whoever's doing what at the moment. He needs to face up to that and delegate it to someone who's more than capable. Then he can concentrate on his opposition reports and the 'all things to all men' act he likes to put on. Needs a major revamp of the training though. New bodies in to orchestrate it.

 

I'm not sure he could spot a good coach, or even if he did wouldn't be threatened by him. He'd much rather have around him people he knows are below him and have no chance of challenging him.

 

What brings you to this conclusion?

 

f*** off muppet.

A lot of the stuff I've read on here the past couple of days has been tbh.  Depressing.

It is fucking depressing, someone post that picture of Saylor strangling that disabled bloke.

That always cheers me up for some reason.

Just looking in at the QPR forum and talk about Delusional

QPR fans Discussing Loic Remy

 

What a gem we have uncovered and what a terrible shame it will be to see him go this summer.

He is our first really potent striker in years and has so much potential. Would love to enjoy celebrating his goals in years to come.

 

Just priceless 

What's delusional about that? He is a gem and he will be gone in the Summer.

I read somewhere that the only reliable indicator of (final) league position is players' wages.

On this indicator alone he must be vastly underperforming.

To look at the players he has had at his disposal this season and then watch the abject, clueless and pointless hoofing to no-one in particular is heart breaking.
