Interpolic

I'm still absolutely furious about this game today. Levels of cowardice shown that I wasn't aware existed.

Watch out, he's having a paddy and being totally unreasonable. If today left you more optimistic than you were yesterday then they need to bottle your dna up and sell it. Call it something like Delusion.

We went into the game today and our fate was in our own hands and we've come out of it in a worse position because at this time we're relying on others. I find it staggering that you can come out with "feeling oddly more optimistic than I was at 14:59" as it's bordering on delusional. It's insane, I can't get my head around it. I'm much more of a yes than a no if asked whether we'll get relegated after seeing that match and other results. To take the opposite view perplexes me entirely.

Yep, you're wrong, we're in a worse position now than we were at the start of the day.

We're 2 points closer to relegation than we were at 14:59 you numpty. Give it up, man. Give what up? He's right, you're wrong.

I've given my reasons why, so it's not 'total bollocks'. I worry for anyone who couldn't appreciate the sense in taking off someone who hasn't played 90 minutes in god knows how long, when we have the most important game in our recent history the week after. You worry for me? The feeling's mutual tbf. You seem to have the same tomorrow will do attitude that Pardew has. More a figure of speech, like. But, I'd have thought there was a lot more to complain about from today than this. I'll maintain my position on it anyway. I'm yet to read a worthwhile argument to make me doubt my own eyes. I'm off out, feeling oddly more optimistic than I was at 14:59. I doubt a night on here will help that. I havent followed your whole argument, I'll just say what I saw at the game - we made a decent fist of it for 60 minutes then settled for a draw. We're not in the position to do stuff like that at this stage in the season, anyone who thinks we are needs their head seeing to. The idiot running the show has voluntarily took us to a position where it's winning at QPR or heavily risk relegation.

What was the mood like amongst our fans at the game, particularly the attitude towards Pardew? Thought I heard some boos when Ben Arfa was coming off and at the end. Brilliant away support today, there was mild discontent with substitutions but we never shut up.

We could do with Hatem next week, don't you think? Wrap him head to toe in cotton wool AND bubble wrap, for me. What's the difference between this week and next week? We need to win yesterday. We played him for 65 mins today, and he was f***ed. He was more likely to get injured, or concede possession cheaply, than create or score a goal. Take him off and we go again next week with him in the team. Canny simple. No. Just, no. Explain what you believe is wrong in what I've said. I think everything that you've said is incorrect. Even if you were right, which I don't think you are at all, the other player was Shola Ameobi who is always, always going to provide the same, or less. I've said nowt about who he was replaced with, but he needed to come off. He's our best chance of winning next week, and the risk of that not happening by leaving him on was too great. He'd been easily dispossessed and left Simpson exposed at least a couple of times before he was taken off. They were getting an increasing amount of joy from Jarvis down that side. The fact that the sub didn't change that is testament to our wonderful manager, but that's not what I'm arguing. Taking him off was the right thing to do. It really wasn't like. Next week, this week. It's the same result that's needed and he definitely wasn't tired imo. The replacement negates the 'need' to bring a player off anyway imo. Hmm. There's no positive resolution to this, so best to just leave it. Tbf mate. Even if I agreed that he was tired, in that situation I wouldn't have taken him off for anyone bar maybe Marveaux or possibly Sissoko. I wouldn't take him off for Ameobi at all, ever. This. You'd never take him off given the other options. There's a week til the next game.

You're worried about me? I think I'll get over that, what you're saying is, again, total bollocks when we're in the midst of a relegation battle. He was our main threat until the minute he went off. And then we had no attacking threat.

Taking him off was 100 per cent not the right thing to do and I don't know how you can even say that, Inochi. It's just total bollocks.

We played him for 65 mins today, and he was fucked. He was more likely to get injured, or concede possession cheaply, than create or score a goal. Take him off and we go again next week with him in the team. Canny simple. Rubbish. I was there, he was fine and the only player on the pitch that could have made something happen. Well, other than Gouffran who was soon subbed. We needed to win today and we sacked it off. I'd rather have those 2 on at 40 per cent fitness than the cloggers we hoyed on. Pardew gave up on winning. Again.

Never been so fuming at a game, almost left after 80 mins cos I was just ranting absolute venom.

Interesting.....Pards playing mind games? He's done it before. I'd much prefer the lineup posted to Sissoko playing on the wing or as a number 10.

I think that side is fine if it gives Cabaye licence to attack, which it should. Closest thing you can get to our 433 of last year.

Nope. Not sure how you can actually dispute that. He's missed about 3 games through injury.

Flashscores will do a noise for goals and HT/FT. You need to add the match to "My Games" by ticking it. Beat me to it. Handy for watching my accumulators die. Exactly. Brings a touch of drama to proceedings.

Absolutely shitting it today like, I'm not normally one for nerves but can't see today being much fun.

You honestly didn't see this, Ian?

Would that be same Colo that joined the club over two years before Pardew? http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/5785/neomouthej7.jpg

Does he mean our fans have been saying this? Because i haven't heard anyone say this tbh. I'm so sick of stuff like this, it's such depressingly predictable bullshit. Every bit of tabloid patter gets associated with the club's fans. Makes you annoyed to be a Newcastle fan at times, because there's no way other fans have to put up with that kind of shit to the same degree.

If Shola starts I'm getting a taxi home.

No self awareness.
