I'm not so sure, if I wasn't an NUFC fan I'd put £5-10 on us going down because 20/1 is just unbelievable value. We don't win away games of which we have 3 (you lot, West Ham, QPR) and our 2 home games are very tough (Liverpool, Arsenal). I'm really concerned but I'm not going to let it take over my mind like I did last time. If it happens, it happens. I'm not getting much joy out of watching us anymore anyway, can't see the football getting much worse whatever occurs. 20/1 isn't to far off really, no team in our position now has ever been relegated from the Premier League. It's not usually this tight, at all. If Wigan win one of their games in hand there will be 2 points between 13th and 18th, must be almost unprecedented.

Saw a mag punching a horse...

I know. Well I didn't know, but I'm not surprised.

Away Toon managing to have a bigger shocker than Pardew today, respect.

Exactly. It's now looking extremely difficult. It's not helped by how tight it is down there, you've got 5 teams on 34-36 points and 1 team in Wigan who you'd expect to get to that level of points in their 2 spare games given their recent form and general tendency for picking up points towards the end of the year. I think this might be the first year in a while you'll need more than 40 to stay up. I've had my worries a long while but thought we'd scrape safety, today is when I'm genuinely concerned we've fucked it and might well go down.

And they deserved the win as well.

Disagree hugely with the bits in bold.

I want to kick this man in his testicles. I find that surprising, because he's implying he'll have no excuses if we don't pick up points.

Stop hating, man.

The way you're carrying on towards people who just want the best for NUFC is pathetic.

He said to Mick Lowes that some of our players were knackered after Thursday and Lowes said we had 5 players in the team who hadn't played, Pardew said the 5 weren't up to speed. Fucking hell. That's so typical, I've never heard so many excuses from a manager ever.

4 more seasons IMO.

You're an absolute knob.

Erm, didn't we lose one under Bobby Robson?

Really liking the lineup, looks very attacking on the face of it. Hopefully we'll get after them from the outset and murder them like we know we can. Howay the lads.

I bet you check whether I'm online before you do it. Fuck it, we'll beat these tramps to within an inch of their worthless lives tomorrow.

Ultimately everyone will. I don't see why we need a period of silence before then. I'm personally just commenting on the negative pre-match comments > negative performance > negative post-match comments routine I'm fed up with seeing.

You're acting like the football hasn't been wank for 90% of this season. It has. "Stop going on like the manager's comments mean the football will be wank and he's making excuses early" or words to that effect. I base what I say on what I've seen this season, your comments seem not to extend beyond "stop moaning" and there's nothing else to it. The league campaign this year has been consistently awful, not once have I denied this I just can't abide the constant, boring tearing apart of every minute detail of Pardew's management. Quotes in random interviews are being analysed on a Saturday neet and seen as suitable evidence to judge his whole footballing ethos. The reality tomorrow will be completely different. Honestly, don't read it then. The reality is that we've seen a season of him making excuse after excuse in the press, followed up by shite performances, followed up by post-match comments about him being right about injuries/fatigue/global warming being the reason for us playing shit and/or getting beat. Every chance for an excuse, he takes it - he shouldn't do it before the derby, he has done it before the derby - I'm not happy about it and that's all there is to it. Sick of this "Leave Pardew Alone" shit.

It's just the fact that he always makes his excuses before the game (making us sound like massive underdogs, trying to overcome adversity) then the performance often mirrors that (fucking eye-bleeding tedium ball with no intention of worrying the opposition) then you get him talking the same shite after the game. I'm starting to wonder how I'm so disconnected with the majority of the match-going public, how the fuck more people don't see what's going on by now I don't know. Don't confuse here with the match going public and even then I know what you're saying but all the rage now seems to be pre-judge everything as it will lead to a factual performance. All football managers comments are more or less bollocks or buzzwords at best yet the faith is placed is them is extraordinary when chance are IMO it means bot all. Ugh, I hate being the contrary Pardew voice. Where is Inochi and Stu when you need them. Calling Ian W are you in? No, I know what you're saying mate, don't worry. I'm just not sure there's as big a disconnect between his comments and performances as what you're making out. It sounds to me like another early excuse.

I do think we'll beat these cunts tomorrow mind, but almost everything this guy does as manager I can't stand. He's fucking awful.

The manager's pre-match comments are usually full of fear, the performance of our lot is also usually full of fear. A manager's pre-derby comments should be of the "we're gonna fuck these useless cunts up" variety, not more excuses FFS.
