Bit of an overreaction based on her side of the story but still she was wrong.

it would but I find it in no way implementable, do you really think that for example Man Utd players who love to surround the ref and have the likes of Rooney screaming foul mouthed abuse in the refs face will stop that if such a rule was implemented or that the refs would have the balls to book or even send off England International Wayne Rooney (if he was on a yellow) for continuing to surround him or his linesman?

Basically that all the possession and passing stats Scott Minto was wanking over were meaningless and that they've become so slow and predictable it's boring. thank christ someone has the guts to say it

judging by that article it was an intentional disaster to try and get Pardew so fed up with the shit that he'd walk. Which makes you wonder what shit he has planned next since that plan failed miserably

sacked for apparently not getting enough for Cabaye...... http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/newcastles-joe-kinnear-paid-price-3112128#.UvFtiPl_u54

make us sit through that shit for 120 mins and not even pens for consolation! outrageous

Why am I subjecting myself to this? Why?!

so it seems everyone at the club besides Kinnear forced him out.

also very strange if they go for Monk for the rest of the season, gamble and a half as they are right in the relegation scrap

To be honest their situation is similar to ours last season, what with being in Europe and struggling in the league, and we all anted Pardew out. Granted the standard of football isn't comparable, but they are genuinely at risk of relegation, having spent a fair bit of money (something Pardew wasn't allowed to do). this, I think what will have been the tipping point was 30 mins odd vs 10 man West Ham and never even remotely threaten their goal. Premature perhaps but there's been stories saying he wasn't well liked by the players from day one, now when you get results those complaints seem minor and irrelevant when you don't they become deafening Good points. He's been unlucky with injuries though, but I guess after spending a fair amount that's not really an excuse. I'd have him here for sure though. They spent 20 mil, most of it on Bony and Shelvey who both look decent. Bony does, shelverys very inconsistent and is he really better than Ki who he sent out on loan? Not for me personally. Sending Ki out on loan really makes me raise an eyebrow about his judgement. There's very little competition but he is the best midfielder I've ever seen in a sunderland shirt (please recall him, Monk!). yep very strange as is the signing of N'Gog and Emnes if he was the one who sanctioned them

wouldn't rule it out in the summer depending on how Sherwood does for the rest of the season.

they want someone who is actually focused on the job he is in right now instead of focused on whatever job he's planning on trying for next?

he was an unlikeable asshole but it did look like he was getting better at it and learning from mistakes and provided an actual direction that while you might not agree with and it certainly could be too strict transfer wise it at least made sense. Whats the direction and vision for the club now? Who's making that kind of decision? Who does Pardew answer to? Who's in charge of the final say on ins and outs now that the morons gone? Pardew?

not a surprise did look like he was losing control a bit.

Don't know who Peter Graves is and there will be plenty who think otherwise - but I believe that. presenter for sky sports, mostly ssn I think.

If this is true it's actually more scary than the alternative in a way. Means Ashley actually thought JFK could do a job. For a self made very successful man, it was one hell of a fucking mental decision. What a prat well its not like he hasn't made mental decisions before

Pete Graves ‏@PeteGravesSky 2m Suggestions that Mike Ashley had been frustrated by lack of arrivals in last 2 windows. There was a budget. #nufc you fucking what?!!

get the feeling Llambias might come back. Also Mort was only ever going to work for one year, wanted to get back to his legal practice iirc and was helping Ashley settle in for the first year

I'd understand if, for all the (reasonable) slating his answers have got, Pardew felt like he'd got chucked under the fucking bus in that interview the other day. For all he made an arsehole of himself with his answers, it shouldn't be in his remit to answer on those kinds of things when he's got a Director of Football nominally in charge of transfers. Could this be a precedent: the moment Alan Pardew felt shame? One humiliation too far even for him? god knows, we can only theorize but its hard to believe in any way shape or form that Pardew ever remotely liked the idea of answering to Kinnear in any respect let alone him being in charge of transfers and at the end of the day Pardew is a football manager, even just to make him look better he wants to finish as high as possible and that was clearly hindered by Kinnears incompetence and Ashley's lack of interest
