The result only helps him, that's the reality for me. Even more so that people walked & he still got it. He will ignore the context, that is what he does. Need Liverpool to demolish us.

He'll completely ignore the context of us only scoring 2 more because they put their entire side upfront of course. Validation for his shithouse tactics

Its weird this. I've recently gained & lost loads of respect for different parts of our fan base. I couldn't less understand people cheering us beating Cardiff City.

A bullshitter like him can use that result easily.

Krul why today you tit

It looks like a good start, stadium still looks packed though? How is this the minority??

Nust are such absolute twats. People better leave man.

It'll be a lot more powerful if people walk out while we're winning. Even better if Cardiff then scored afterwards. Will people go now though?

Right fuck off Krul & Ameobi. (Krul a lot less as I think he could be great)

Can Ameobi just fuck off. Absolute tart.

Bit random this. Anywhere online you can read Sir Bobby's column he used to do? Mail on Sunday have taken him off their list of authors looks like when you click the links.

One of his first interviews when he joined, just amusing to look back on: "I have always managed teams that have played attacking positive football, something I know the supporters here appreciate. At the same time I intend to focus on developing exciting young players through the club's excellent Academy and development squad, and I know the board here at St. James' Park are very committed to that too. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/new-newcastle-manager-alan-pardew-3344853#ixzz30ZLNiH1s

bingo. The frustration is if our fanbase were more united we'd have a lot of control over Ashley's decisions. He gets away with this stuff only because he thinks he can without it coming back on him. This whole "Ashley doesnt care" thing is a bluff, he uses it to keep control. His actions & whole persona are not that of someone who doesnt care. I highly doubt even a completely united fanbase (which is unlikely at the best of times) it would make that much difference. He's never going to start basing decisions on what the crowd want it will be based on £££ nothing more nothing less. Logic like that is why he is where he is. "We can't really do anything". The fans clearly affect the team & the teams performance controls the worth of Mike Ashleys asset. Why do you think they continually try to keep fans onside? Season ticket sales, and most of that is centered around price rather than any attempt to keep the fans onside. Well thats still keeping fans onside isn't it? You can't say hes not worried about fan opinion, yet really wants to sell season tickets. Anyway beyond that you an go back to the Keegan trial when it came out that they lied to us. The stadium renaming was explained away as much as possible to be for the club. They changed it back with Wonga to get people onside about that. The accounts are constantly used to keep the fanbase happy. Pardew is quite clearly continually lowering expectation, excusing Ashley & trying to keep fans onside. Its all over the place. Yet people still come out with "He doesnt care about the fans". If he didn't we'd not have heard half the BS we've had to. he hasn't been in the slightest bit popular since the keegan debacle, had some signs of recovery in levels of tolerance but whenever he was on such a path he made some other decision like renaming SJP or Wonga, these are not decisions of someone who is that bothered about public opinion of him. I'm sure he'd like to be popular, who wouldn't? But his decision making isn't based on populism. It often isn't based in logic either but thats a separate point altogether. Now a collective complete boycott of season tickets and matchs in general might make some difference (as it would hit in the pocket) but the probability of that is next to nil and my suspicion is it wouldn't cause a turnaround in policy but more price cuts for tickets and a cut in the budget. They're decisions of someone who's willing to push the boundaries, if he wasnt bothered about public opinion he wouldnt try to excuse them would he? He'd say, "this is how it is, deal with it" Vincent Tan style. He comes out with explanations all the time, people do things for a reason. As i said before, the fans can affect the team. The whole environment the side plays in, the level of pressure. The performance of Mike Ashleys asset is directly connected to the happyness of us as fans. It will not perform well if we are not on side & he will not want to lose money or the exposure Newcastle gives him. Our biggest issue is the fans who are remaining happy, the ones who aren't are already having an effect.

Would help us no end if he released some timely quotes on his pov on being the single reason we've supposedly fallen apart.

Massively need to show support for Ben Arfa man. All this BS about him being difficult & he's clearly articulated thoughts about how he's being mismanaged that have been claimed on here for ages.

Bit easy that

Still dont get why Guardiola went to Bayern. The side had just won everything, even if he'd repeated that it wouldnt have been amazing. Should've gone to a weaker side & reproven his philosophy/ability as a manager.

How have they not scored there

How will he turn this run around next season though? The unusual circumstance is that the pressure isnt coming from relegation, its from dissatisfaction with style of play etc. The fans making noises now wont be satisfied by a win against Cardiff, it will be there next season & right now he isnt handling it. We're getting battered.

The tattooed well dressed casual lumberjack look. He's trying to cover a lot of bases there.

I think it's more hope than expectation tbf It depends how much pressure the fans create. Ashley will put his assets stability above Pardew & the fans can destabilize the club if they want to. Just look at how much Pardew keeps talking about pressure in this run we're on, it is making the job harder for him. That is coming from only a section the fans.
