Good day for NUFC today bimpy, do you think?

Wow, how admirable. You've got a lovely habit of making out like people are being unreasonable when they have an opposing view like. Your argument against me tonight's been wooly at best and absolutely batshit mental to the point of being totally pointless at worst. Sure you'll come up with another wisecrack remark to make yourself look clever like, but the quite unbelievable point is that you thought today was a positive day for NUFC. That's just incredible and we're still skirting around that point. If you really believe that then you're off your rocker.

Why? We're going to turn up there and win, despite us being pathologically opposed to winning games - particularly away from home. It's a must win game, the likes of which we've been brilliant in over the years. What could possibly go wrong? This is a great post and sums up perfectly why I've had such a pig of a day today. As if we can afford to put all our eggs in one basket FFS.

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. I assume that was typed out whilst winking to the camera? If its delusion, it's delusion. Why shouldn't I say it how it is, though? Because you, and others, don't feel the same? I was at Liverpool, and that was almost the lowest I've ever felt as a Newcastle supporter. Because of that game, completely in isolation, I was worried we had nearly no chance of putting any more points on the board. However, today we have. We showed some spirit again, had a relatively steady looking defence and pace going forward. We probably should have scored two goals. Is it so entirely unreasonable to be encouraged by that? So much so, that I'm open to ridicule? We're not down. In fact, it's still entirely in our hands, even if two wins out of two is massively unlikely with the man in charge. OK listen, I'll tell you why I've got such a problem with what you've said. As I understand it, what you've said is that you are more confident and optimistic about us staying up now than what you were this morning. Last week and also this morning, lots of people have asked me whether I thought we'd go down. I've been saying that I don't know, that I'm 50-50 and that it's probably more dependent on Wigan than us at present because you can't rely on us to win a game away from home, and the way we're playing the Arsenal game's a write-off. Today we drew 0-0 in a game we really could have done with winning. The manner of it sticks in the throat for me. We settled for a draw after an hour as if we had the luxury of picking and choosing where we get our points. But that's another story I suppose. Even more importantly Wigan won at West Brom. Sunderland are likely to get a result at home to Stoke tomorrow. So Inochi. If Sunderland get a draw or better and Wigan win on Tuesday we're in the bottom 3. I had nightmares about Wigan winning today and us not winning our game because it puts us in an infinitely worse position than when the games kicked off. And you're more optimistic? It pisses me off if I'm honest. It's unreal. I can't believe what I'm reading. So, in essence, it pisses you off because you don't agree or feel the same way. That's alright. I don't understand why my opinion would piss you off, at all, but it's not my problem. If you'd asked me this morning if I'd take a point, I'd have said 'aye, gan on then'. I don't disagree that other results have went the worst possible way they could have and, if Wigan and Sunderland win, I'll be back to square one. But, those games haven't been decided yet. It's always been the case that we need to do our bit to negate those results. I'm repeating myself, but that's largely still the case. So, at this point in time, I am a little more optimistic than I was before the game. I admitted that it was an odd reaction to the game, but I'm not saying anyone else is wrong. It doesn't piss me off when people have a different opinion to me, it pisses me off when people are so gleefully oblivious to the glaringly obvious. We're in a worse position now than we were this morning. I'm not sure how that can be disputed. A draw would only have been an OK result today only if Wigan didn't win. As it stands, we've put all of our eggs in one basket, i.e. winning only our 2nd away game in an entire season. We could have made it a lot easier for ourselves today but we took our only 2 dynamic players off, a decision you've backed. You must have huge confidence in Swansea on Tuesday or us against QPR next week. I'm honestly still struggling to see why you're more optimistic after today. We're going round in circles here, like. Nothing you've said there is news to me. Well, except for me backing the substitutions. I've said I understand why Hatem was taken off and stand by it, but I've not mentioned Gouffran. I know he was cramping up but, if we has done for, I'd have went for Anita before I'd even made eye contact with Gosling. I don't have any confidence in other team's results. After the last couple months, that'd be foolish in the extreme. But, as I've said, they're not decided yet. How are we going around in circles? I'm saying I'm amazed you're more confident we'll not get relegated after today and you're just giving me a load of waffle with no justification for such an insane point of view. Honestly, I can't see where you're coming from whatsoever. Er... You think my opinion and justifications are 'a load of waffle', that's fine, but there's no reason for you to say I'm not giving any. They work for me, but don't fit your way of thinking. That's cool, man, we're never going to agree on this. Your nice guy front would be better served without the the "er"s and the smileys and the general piss taking. Your justifications make no sense, we're 2 points worse off today and our performance was nothing to be proud of. We bottled it big time today, it was depressing as fuck and my exasperation at someone seeing it as a positive day is still being met with a load of waffle. Nice guy front? Haha. I read that my posting style 'breeds contempt' earlier as well. You asked and answered your own question in the same post, then posted it all again. Lets just leave it, Sunderland might win on Monday and I'll be doom and gloom again. We'll leave it because you're talking bollocks. Generally mocking tone with no points of note whatsoever. Brilliant, well done.

It's fine man GM, calm down.

Norwich are very much in it too.

It's that fucking black and white, isn't it. It's that cut and dry. FFS man, we invited pressure on ourselves after 60 minutes by removing our only 2 attacking outlets from the pitch. We actually risked losing more by going defensive than we would have done by plugging away in a similar vein to what we had been doing. This is a recurring theme this season. A more pressing issue is that it's clear as day that when one of our players has the ball then the rest become statues, and that's a sad indictment of our coaching.

Well said, exactly what I was getting at. And you're right about us nearly conceding a few times in the last half hour too.

Yeah exactly. We can bank on us getting the 3 points there FFS. Of course I hope it happens and it might happen, but if it doesn't then we'll be looking at games like today and wondering why we didn't try to win.

Been happening all season, no matter who the players are. Either it's the tactics, or the players as a squad aren't nearly fit enough. Pity he didn't dispell the myth about us being negative as fuck and scared shitless of absolutely everyone. Funny how today we were all worried about West Brom because they're safe and we're worried about Swansea because they're safe, and we're worried about West Brom because they're (still) safe next week too. Meanwhile we go to West Ham (yep you've guessed it) and absolutely shit ourselves. Good point well made. I'm so angry at the minute, and almost everyone I spoke to after the game was too. Seeing us voluntarily hang on after 60 minutes in a game where we could have made great strides towards staying up was something I never even expected of Pardew. Whole new levels of negative.

Been happening all season, no matter who the players are. Either it's the tactics, or the players as a squad aren't nearly fit enough. We chose to fade in the second half. Same as it ever was.

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

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.

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'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.
