Away Toon

I think the more Ashley knows we hate Pardew the more likely he is to keep him on. I'm not sure even being relegated would get rid of him.

No idea never saw him play before he joined us. Until Pardew told him he was the new Essien, he looked like he might be a reasonable if limited defensive midfielder, not the liability he has become.

Tiote just as much a liability for the Ivory Coast as he is for us. Truly the first and best illustration of what it is to be Pardewed.

There are plenty who aren't successful though, HBA, MYM, Marveaux, Anita for starters.

Why are we apparently persisting with this failed French experiment? Under Pardew this would be another pointless signing. Of all the French players we have signed only Cabaye has really been a success followed by Debuchy who will be leaving, and Remy who was never our player. All the rest Pardewed, we can't give them away.

England and English footballers in general are still so technically poor compared with pretty much everyone in the world.

I'm almost 100% certain that come the first day of the 2015/16 season, Alan Pardew will still be at NUFC.

http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/27599165 A good article illustrating how Pochettino's football philosophy is so far detached from the coaching genius's we have in charge.

One of the very few players who actually give a fuck about NUFC. It's not much to celebrate about really.

Newcastle must offer Lyon striker Bafetimbi Gomis £100,000 per week if they want to sign him this summer. The 28-year-old becomes a free agent next month. (BBC Rumours) It wouldn't surprise me if it's true at all. This is why players are running down their contracts and refusing to sigh new ones. They can negotiate a higher signing on fee and higher wages as the purchasing club doesn't have to pay a transfer fee. Sagna is doing the same thing, apparently Shola too, offered a measly 1 year extension when he knows if he has a reasonable World Cup somebody will give him 2-3 years.

Man, I always liked Forster when I saw him in our reserves but if you think he's developed into a top class keeper at this point you're dreaming. Krul will never be a top class goalkeeper, or in any case is showing no sign of becoming one with the coaching he currently gets. He might be a good shot stopper, but he doesn't command the box, is dodgy as soon as he leaves his line, and his distribution skills are absolutely rank.

Ashley would be just perfect for Pardew. He's a LB and we know Pardew loves them, he likes Geordie women and he's a complete cunt.

Unless we are going to pay him a lot more money than he's currently on, I don't see why he would want to come here. Stoke are very much on par with us, except they are ambitious and have a much better manager.

I didn't know managers were allowed to have any football philosophy at all, the fuckwit in charge of NUFC certainly doesn't have one.

Should stay in Tenerife, it's a nice place and Pardew isn't manager of their football club.

What's all this talk about van Gaal having a football philosophy and playing 433 irrespective of which players he has available or which team he's playing against.

Fatty wants resale value. If fatty really wanted resale value he would have got rid of Pardew who has cut the value of the squad by half in the last season or so.

Rumours of Sagna to Man City, makes no sense to me, not a patch on Zabaleta

Whoever the 17 cretins on here are, who actually thought or think that Ashley is about to sack Pardew, own up so we know who you are please.

As a RB he's not a patch on Debuchy, and if he goes Tavernier deserves his chance. Richards hasn't played as a CH for years and when he did he resembled Bramble but without the passing ability.

Richards is a technically limited crock, Johnson who played a part in all 3 Palace goals the other week, not much better. If he's England's best RB god help us.

Celtic would suit him.

Not very good, won't be the end of the world if he goes.

Maybe that's why we don't play Gouffran through the middle, his finishing never seems very reliable.

Liverpool don't really look up for this, the 10-0 massacre doesn't look on the cards. Bummer
