Who would i go for? So assuming Pardew is fired / walks, we're looking for a bloke who'll work for peanuts on a heavily incentivised contract. He'll have no say whatsoever in incoming or outgoing transfers. In public he must spout whatever shit is fed to him by the clubs press officer. But crucially, apart from being a utter fucking goon with no self respect, he needs to be a decent football manager. Hmmm? This bloke doesn't exist.

I've just been watching Steve Harmison interview Kevin Keegan on Sky Sports, i know i'm probably months late with this reaction but Jesus. Couldn't have said it better Kev. As far as i'm concerned NUFC is in a coma, and will remain so until this fat cunt does one.

I would attend also, I think the biggest issue is getting the majority of our support out in protest or even a good 5-10k of them, doesn't need anywhere near the 50k mark but needs to be substantial to make any difference. 10k would make them think, that's over £250k per game, although with most having season tickets you would be looking to attack league cup games (No more this season after tomorrow) or targeting next season. A massive non-renewal of season tickets in feb would make them s*** themselves. I would be more than happy to turn up for a game and not go in. That would probably be best thing. People have to get over the "but don't want to hurt the team" thing because otherwise nothing will happen. Yep. Anyway, having a manager who can't teach this team how to score from a f***ing corner is much more damaging than a protest. We just don't look effective at attacking whatsoever never mind just corners, free kicks, crossing into box accurately and having someone there, knocking down headers, running at teams and trying to get behind. We play most our football about 50 yards from goal Remarkable that we have a better goal scoring record than everyone except the Manchester, Liverpool and the 2 big London clubs. Yes it is really, yet it's been more fluke and a bit individual good play (See Remy or Cabaye) than total team effort, good build up or anything remotely nearing a coordinated approach to football. We've scored more goals from outside the box than anyone else in the league, which was highlighted on telly as something to be proud of. It highlighs the facts that a) we have little or no presence in the box, b)e have no clue how to get the ball to our lone striker, c) we're a purely speculative side, d) thank fuck we have a couple of players who can strike the ball well from distance because had we not we'd up shit creek!

Pardew is going nowhere anytime soon. Sunderland are easily the worst side we've played in a couple of years, and they beat us. At any other club the manager's arse would be twitching, not here. He's Ashleys man because he does as he's told. He's here for the medium / long term, get used to it.

How the fuck did we lose that? Answer me that Alan?

They're dogshit, and we're even worse! Our passing is under9s level.

I too have took a can in the shower on at least a couple of occasions. Not for a long time though.

Ooh now then, what to wear?

Christ on a bike. I've been for a dump, when i get back we've gone from one fit centre half at the club to maybe three!

I like the cut of your jib.

We're gonna hump them. Can't remember the last time i had confidence in any game, much less a derby. But i think we'll win comfortably.

His obvious love of Sir Bobby and his tribute to him at the time of his passing tells me different. I'm on about Fergies bullshit with his infamous "mind games". Mind games my arse he used and manipulated the league, it's referees and the media to get preferential treatment for his club. Moyes has already started it with his bitching and MUFCs early season schedule, like i said no class.

Ferguson's a prick, no class at all. To be fair though he won a trophy or two.

Im broken now. i won't be attending games, buying shirts or fuck all else til Ashley is gone. And him being replaced by Red Bull ain't the answer.

1-0 win, which i'd be over the moon with.

If he'd have stayed on his arse we might have got away with it.

Yeah - very strange. Was a cracker. Had Stevie G scored it at the other end Ian Darke would have batted himself off in the commentary box.

Tiote definately played him onside but every one of our players was pointing at the linesman on the near side, they never showed you on tv if his flag went up or not. The ref wasn't interested though. He eventually went over to speak to the linesman about who he fancied for Strictly Come Dancing, but the card went up instantly.

When Yanga-Mbiwa got the red card, why were our players pointing to the linesman? Had he flagged for offside?

Agreed - best atmosphere in a long time. It sounded absolutely dead on the telly until we scored.

If he scores against them it'll be Taylor vs Celta Vigo all over again.

Spot on. Bad throw ins are a special hate of mine. I was fuming about this. I have no complaints about having one awarded against us, but to not give us the throw in right back when their guy (Cissokho?) had both feet on the pitch? Fuck me they were literally seconds apart, how can you not be consistent? And another thing, when Tiote won the ball fairly in their area and they were given a free kick. I wagged my finger i can tell you that.

The long Dummy.

Credit where it's due i thought he was MOTM today. As said above he's had a couple of shockers but to write a french international off so quickly is mental. A kid i know is getting a banning order if found guilty of calling him a useless french cunt.

0 - something
