Away Toon

It's all about the football, stupid, and the football is shit. Indefensible. End of.

People are losing sight of the reasons why we support and watch NUFC every time we play. Once you support a club you are pretty much stuck with it for life and the only way to go cold turkey is to live a long way away and not look at any of the social media available, TV, Internet, Newspapers etc. So we support and watch the team because we have very little choice, which then gets to the crux of the present problem with Pardew's version of Newcastle. We all want to be entertained when we watch the matches, we would all like us to be successful, we all would like our club to aspire to improve. The reality is that we are the most god awful team to watch, similar to only Stoke in the Premier League, and we have been like this since Pardew joined the club apart from in half of dozen games last season and the Chelsea home game this one. It's a tactically rigid, negative percentage approach to the game that as someone pointed out, for the neutral must be mind blowingly boring to watch. When it all comes down to it, it's about the football, and it's shocking. For that reason alone he should be replaced. Maybe the more influential players will tell Ashley that, that's what City's players did and as a result the equally negative Mancini has been sacked. We can only live in hope.

I think the only chance we have of him going is if there is some kind of cataclysmic meltdown against Arsenal, with us getting a tonking, players fighting among themselves and being sent off, Gouffran smacking Pardew when he's replaced by Shola on 70, the crowd invading the pitch and burning effigies of Pardew, Lambsarse and Ashley etc etc. A full on anarchistic riot is required, if not, and we have all been warned, it will be another 7 years of this horrific manager with his horrific stone age tactics and ugly hoofball football. I'd rather watch Stoke.

Elliot what an arsehole.

Goffran seriously needs to improve on his decision making

You get the feeling if they equalise they will get a third and go on and beat us.

QPR well on top and looking dangerous

We are sleep walking through this second half at the moment. Just get a 3rd and get this over.

That was nice of QPR.

What thing is for sure, we are an absolutely terrible team at the moment. #excrutiating

Well if Wigan do go down, they've plenty of players that would improve most clubs in the Premier League including us.

Well deserved, I'm happy for them. Just don't go and get us relegated.

Every game I see Wigan play they are the better team, though it's not often get the result to show for it.

Irrespective of whether people think Pardew is a good manager, or could become a good manager, the proof is in the football that we play, which is Stoke City style diabolical. Even after 2 plus seasons, I've no idea what style of football he wants to play, it's just a mess with players regularly out of position, tactically restricted, no movement and the worst passing team I think I've seen. Give me a Rodgers, Lambert, Laudrup, Martinez, Pochettino, or just about any young progressive manager out there. The idea of watching us play another season of hoofball football is extremely depressing.

I think he's bluffing. He knows his job is safe, he's just making it easier for Ashley to confirm that he stays. How fucking depressing.

I was at the game against Burnley at Hillsborough, Hibbitt and Supermac had fantastic games. There was a seriously big crowd, with looking back some very scary terracing. Pity the final was so shit

If he isn't sacked immediately the season finishes I can see us losing at a minimum Cabaye and Ben Arfa this summer. Maybe Cisse as well. Once the better players start leaving we could have an exodus on our hands. I don't think they have any intention of sacking him, though I think most of us hope that's not the way it works out.

What a huge bonus that is.

Must say that Wigan have got some splendid defenders

Wigan definitely look like they'll score another.

Well Swansea are fighting

Have to admire Wigan, they just go for it.

Wigan will not be beaten. No lying down and defensive nonsense from this team and manager.

Well the goal was coming. Swansea should be ashamed of there half arsed performance. Still nothing compares to what we did at home to Liverpool.

Thanks to Perdu we all have to follow this non-match which basically could decide on whether we get relegated or not. What a gilipolla our dickhead of a manager is.
