That perfectly sums it up mate

He's killing the experience for people. Today has just resolved my opinion to sack off going to matches

Banning the local media, fuck me

I agree completely, doesn't absolve him from being an utter cretin though. The whole thing is a lost cause man

He's a patsy, he's complicit and he's a fucking arsehole with no backbone.

I agree I've always thought he was best in that right hand pocket in a front 3. Seems to do most of his best damage from that position.

Yeah you can never predict these really can you. It'll unforgivable if we were to have a man sent of given Tiote was sent off last season. They'll throw the kitchen sink at us but you'd like to think if we can weather the storm our class with Remy, Cabaye etc should see us through. Just hope Pardew has them right up for this.

Considering Pardew's previous record against Poyet teams I'll be over the moon if we come away from this one without getting beat. Yeah I'm worried we don't seem to go into these matches with the right mentality. Pardews seems to bottle it and that filters down to the players. Quality wise with Cabaybe, Remy etc we "should" have them..........not confident though really.

Huge win considering the games on the horizon

Much more like his "old self" today

Yep genuinely quality player. Love watching him play and he's our match winner for the derby.

With these decisions it's almost last roll of the dice. If he loses badly today then he's fucked IMO.

Ben Arfa has been woeful the last couple of games but Pardew is always singling him out. There's plenty others who deserve some focus at the moment, like the defenders ffs And in the Chronicle Pardew excused Sissoko's poor performance because he's that type of player. Yet the same Point doesn't seem to stand for Hatem. Yeah it's the usual bollocks

With the international break coming up, another poor result tomorrow and I get the feeling he might get the shove.

Keeping getting texts from all over the country saying "has Pardew been sacked?". Apparently rumours evrywhere, have there been any developments aside from that awful mirror article?

If Liverpool give us a hiding I think he'll be sacked. But as mist have pointed out it's not like we've got someone exciting and innovative to look forward jut a slightly different brand of wretchedness. You can just tell JFK is desperate to be back in the dug out, god help us.

What a pathetic club we've become.

Perfect post. I was most definitely very bored on Saturday

Worryingly for me, I think apathy is setting in. I walked away from St James extremely disappointed but it's almost become the norm that type of shambolic performance. The club has no ambition and we have a big standard (some would call shite) manager. Will always support the club and will no doubt go to a couple more games this season but definitely losing the passion a bit. It's been sapped out of me.

Yeah I'd rather have my full back be able to defend first and foremost of which Debuchy isn't showing he can do particularly well at the moment.

I enjoyed being back at St James and had a great seat bang middle of the Gallowgate but it was the same old shit like last season really. I was very disappointed coming out the ground but having seen similar shite like Reading last season you almost get used to it

Says a lot when someone can't set up a side to attack or defend well and is seemingly completely incapable of anything worthy of a threat at set pieces.

Got shown up again by his opposite number today. Has no plan B when things turn and we're constantly weaker when in the lead. God knows the number of times I've been to St James to see them jogg out for the second half and play like they're having a kick about on the beach on holiday. Fuck knows what he says to them at halftime. Rubbish

Agreed, absolute garbage at the moment
