Deserves the nomination tbf.

Wouldn't normally back them to win but noticed yesterday that they were 3/1 to beat Palace. Any PL side, with the exception of Burnley, at those odds to beat Crystal Palace has to be worth a punt (gambling head on) so i've stuck a tenner on. Will be happy to lose my cash but thought it was a very generous price.

Liverpool clearly there for the taking but as usual out cowardly manager hasn't got the gumption to send his players out to have a go at them. Lose 1 or 2-0 here.

Love Keegan like.

0-2. Would have been more confident if this game had been at Anfield for some reason.

Once again he seems to have stumbled on a winning formation by accident than tactical genius.

Never been a fan of his and no doubt he was badly exposed last night but so were the rest of the back four and goalkeeper and Bayern were on a different planet at times.

I'm confident of 2 heavy defeats in the next 2 games. Still won't cost him his job though.

Missing the bit out when he told him he was free to find a new club.

3-4 now. Hope they get an equaliser. Always had a soft spot for Carlisle.

Beckham did really well out of his career for a player who lacked pace, couldn't beat an opponent with a trick and couldn't head or tackle either.

Pardews book of excuses states it's almost impossible to win a PL match after playing in the Europa League the previous Thursday so I'd have to go for a comfortable away win. If they turn us over no doubt he'll say we were rusty having not played in 8 days and they were far sharper for getting a game in on the Thursday night though.

:clap:

Apparently an adult ticket in the Family Enclosure against Leicester is only £14.

Looks like we'll have to score 3 or 4 to win this then. How this fat mess ever made it as a pro footballer let alone a PL one I'll never know.

Wheres that what fanzine? Sorry, meant forum; http://www.foxestalk.co.uk/forums/topic/97565-newcastle-a-optimeter/

A Leicester fanzines take on it; The international break is almost over and what with our last two results and performances in the Premier League being below par I thought it was worth another optimeter to get those positive vibes rolling for Saturday. Newcastle's off the field problems are well documented. Their fans do not like Alan Pardew and want him gone, despite being the man who almost lead them to the Champions League a few seasons back - on a shoestring budget due to Mike Ashley being a tight bastard. Pardew has also unearthed some excellent signings in his time there on a lowish budget. They have started the season very badly. The delusion of Geordie's believing they should be/are a top four/five club has never been more prominent than it is at the moment. Stability is key and Pardew provides that... Who out there would take the toon to the next level? Our most recent meeting came in the championship five seasons ago. Newcastle won at St James and we failed to score a goal in both matches. Four defeats in a row for The Foxes at Newcastle only scoring once. The omens don't look good. Our last win away up in the toon was under Martin O Neil with Cottee and Robbie Savage bagging the goals in a fine 2-0 victory. It will be interesting to see what team NP puts out, I envisage changes from the Burnley game in the starting 11 and on the bench. Can we win? I don't think so. I fear a rejuvenated Newcastle with the spotlight off Pardew briefly in the international break and we will lose 2-0.

NUFC.com saying that it's heading for a sell out. Absolutely staggering but equally disappointing that out of 49k home fans only a handful will have the balls/care enough to give Pardew a hard time and because of the size of the crowd they'll hardly even be noticed.

Tranmere 1-0 Carlisle. The goalscorer was called Max Power which reminded me of an episode of The Simpsons.

If we want to be challenging for the top 6-8 positions, which is where a club of our size should be, not scrapping with the likes of QPR and Burnley down at the bottom, neither Marveaux or Gouffran should be anywhere near our first XI.

Let's not get carried away here. Fair enough he didn't get much time on the pitch but the way some people are going on here he was in the Messi/Ronaldo bracket. I thought he didn't look cut out for football in England and his "performance" at Goodison has to go down as one of the most gutless and cowardly efforts I've ever seen from a Newcastle player and he's got some competition for that title!

This 100%. Anyone softening or feeling sorry for King Pardew needs to remember the damage he's doing to the club. Of course he could resign but his ego and greed won't allow that.

Looks like less than 40,000 sold for this so far. Ashley is more than likely to sack him for that than any of the banners or anti Pardew chants.
