Let's not get at each other. Let's only a small few culpable and none of them are on this forum...apart from Ian 'Dekka' W

.Yup for me. At least JFK had the courtesy to nearly off himself.

The culmination of what papered over cracks and slick diversionary tactics get you. The Pardew legacy. If he isn't sacked as soon as he hits the dressing room then I've no faith whatsoever in any of the current powers that be.

Ah fuck just seen the genuine one. What a cretin. Id cry if if I wasn't laughing at the predictability.

That squad is plenty good enough to get a result provided the Paretardew doesnt work his magic.

This. Utterly depressing.

A Good Day to Die Pard

I'm just down to minimal words now...blokes a prick.

Gosling Dat sub...

Suarez to swallow Adam Campbell whole in the last 15.

Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?

What's the view like there inside your own arse?

Rubbish. If you mean that there a people who give people undue stick for holding pro pardew views then yes. If you think that the criticism of pardew is a mob mentality then I would wholeheartedly disagree. He has made his bed in so many ways.

If you like (unsuccessfully) sitting on 1-0 leads and taking great solace in 'hard fought' draws then he's then man to go to. For me I'm pik sick of those things and to boot he's evasive and ignorant.

Hes a complete waste of time arsehole. I keep looking and contributing to this thread but thats as simply as it boils down to.

Can you break a brick with your face? Can you lend me that brick?

He's certainly better than Pardew in that he can actually organise a team and implement a style of football Exactly what is lacking. Im not saying that Martinez in the man but it's not going to happen without action from the 'board.'

I don't think those turning their noses up at the likes of martinez realise how chronic a situation we are in. Cite hyperbole if you want but this season has shown nothing but total regression; its not just 'a poor season, better luck next year lol'

Anyone care to quantify the effect these team talks? If these changes of approach are down to injuries and Europe and investment then I would be very surprised.

Yes it does. Nobody wins leagues playing Allardyce/Pulisball. You're always better going with a manager that has an actual footballing philosophy if you want to achieve something - whether that is all out attacking football, possession based, counter-attacking, or more cautious. Something that is actually transferable to a top side, not this Rugby style/long ball/numbers game bollocks where you buy players to fit into the tactic and bully your way to 13th in the league. The latter shouldn't exist, it goes against the entire notion of competition in the league. These guys are happy to pick up away draws where they can, spunk money on aging dross, buy handydowns from Man Utd and simply be happy with expensive mediocrity because it keeps them in a job until people just get bored with apathy. A disease on the league. I am a disciple of Sewell.

Yep Hard to quantify but the ownership stumped when things were needed in the end and the players are showing signs of descent with regard to the way they are playing.

I fail to see how anyone in agreement with the last part in any sense wants to keep treading water with him at the helm.

Realitically, we might get martinez but you're either looking abroad or the lower leagues. I'm not sure who to go for; its the job of the higher powers to do the right thing. Pardew is poison and no matter how incremental the improvement it has to change a soon as possible.

The alternative is fingers in ears, head in the sand blind optimism though. If you think the Pardew naysayers are being unreasonable then I don't know what some people want us to achieve in league.

Must need his hayfever tablets at 60 minute mark.
