I don't think so: http://www.shieldsgazette.com/sport/football/why-i-left-out-in-form-anita-pardew-1-6124340 In any case, it worked, and we won. The right call? Hard to argue against 3 points. Regardless of whether Ben Arfa/Anita/MYM should be playing in our opinion or not, if we keep winning without them in the side, i'm not going to make a big fuss of it.

Without Carr, Pardew would have been sacked by now, massive help to him. The standard of players is what is keeping Pardew in the job, people like Remy doing the business for him and picking up the points.

What's sounds more stupid than going "Duh duh duh duh duh, duh duh duhduh duhduh duh"? Nothing, that's what. Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey, heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey Shearer, oooooooooo aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa (especially when you've switched Riise for Shearer).

Thought that was one of Tiote's best games in a long long time, not that it was a difficult task given his form but he was much more like his old self, thought he had a very good game but as stated did let mistakes creep in late on. Took his chance well when he knew a bad game could see Anita straight back in, as it is, think he’s kept his place, not that he should have been given the chance in the first place but that’s a different matter all together.

I've always just been happy to just wait for everyone else to make up a chant then join. One i did come up with was never going to take off. (Fratellis - Chelsea Dagger) - Michael Owen, we believe, when you score a goal and kiss the sleeve, the goals will dry up when you leave, it's one for Michael Owen and another for the Toon Army, duh duh duh duh duh duh etc....

Our fans have become fairly poor for songs, we used to be one of the best for it. Done well with the gouffran song, about it of late.

Absolute masterstroke from Wenger, patience has paid dividends, whilst all Arsenal fans panicked around him, he stayed calm and waited for his opportunity, and along came Ozil. Eh? They were after Suarez. And...? If they had signed Suarez, i could have took Ozil out of sentence and replaced with Suarez, my point is he waited for the right player to become available who would take Arsenal on to the next level, he didn't just go out every window and panic buy and splash all the cash, he waited for his one gem of a player and got it in Ozil, Wenger shouldn't have had to put up with the abuse he got from Arsenal fans, he's a genius and they were impatient kernts who the majority never gave their support and trust too.

I defend him to an extent because of the abuse he gets is way over the top. People on here think I believe Pardew is the man for the job when that's far from the case, I would love a top manager to come in but that's highly unlikely. What i defend more than a hell of a lot others on here is the players in our side, i couldn't rate them highly enough and just because they were poor last season as a team, i don't believe they showed themselves in best light, i think this season they will put last season's horror show well and truly behind them and we will have a good season. What exactly is wrong with thinking that? If people think we'll be in a relegation battle, that's their opinion, if people want to protest for Pardew/Ashely out, it's their right to do so, i'd rather just be proud of the players we have at the club, embrace the fact they are here and get behind Pardew to get the best out of them rather than bringing the manager/players down at any given opportunity. Just for you, Inochi

Sorry. Anyone can feel free to pop up and say they think Pardew is the man for the job if they disagree with what i said. I went overboard after Villa, i haven't said too much regarding the Cardiff game except we showed great carachter and spirit within the camp to bounce back from the first 45 minutes against Everton

It's another gamble but i think this is a gamble they will probably win, actually think he'll keep these up now, a bad managerial appointment and they were down imo.

Is there a back four among the leagues best 7 clubs you would not swap with? I'd prefer to have the ones we've got being coached correctly before I'd go rushing out to swap anyone. What's the next painfully depressing and wildly incorrect prediction Wullie? Took us 2 games to rise above the 16th position we supposedly wouldn't move from all season. I leave the painfully depressing stuff to the "8th is fantastic" brigade. Brett? He's quoted it like i've said that. Wullie thinks we should be pushing into top 6 but thinks we are in a relegation battle, ambitious pessimistic clown What on Earth are you talking about man? My position has always been that the players are comfortably good enough to compete for European qualification whilst the manager is not close to being Premier League quality and drags them down, fails to get the best out of them and leaves us constantly less than the sum of our parts. How does any of that contradict what I've said? I think you're sitting on the fence a bit, if we finish top 8, you'll say well so he should with that group of players, if we finish in another relegation battle, you'll be blaming the manager and not the players. Fwiw i don't think even a good manager would get us into top 6 this season, i think Everton have themselves a good manager and a similar standard of squad to ours but don't think he'll manage it, they will be similar to us where we will try and fight for it but will come up short in the end. Sitting on the fence on what sense? I think the manager is obscenely s*** at his job. What part of that sentence constitutes sitting on the fence? I agree that he's a s*** manager but i think with this group of players he can still have a good season. What does Pardew have to do this season for you to look back on and say 'he's done well there'. Win a cup? Finish top 6? Top 8?...Avoid another relegation battle? Surely you can’t be of the opinion that he’s done s*** regardless of what he achieves from now on? f*** me you don't half run with the foxes and chase with the hounds. If you fancy going through my quotes where I've said Pardew is a good manager, feel free. Always maintained he's capable of sustaining a good run of form like he did when we finished 5th but he's also proven he's incapable of getting us out of a rut when things turn sour lack last season. He can still have a good season, he's got the players at his disposal to do so, if he manages to survive the next run of games with some credit, I fancy us to push on from it!

I said passion for Pardew to fail, not Newcastle.

What does this bollocks mean, man? People are "so far gone" because they know he's a s**** manager, it's pointless acting otherwise. He's f***ing s**** and in turn we're f***ing s**** (and on the whole we have been s**** this season). If you're trying to say that people actively want Newcastle - and therefore Pardew - to fail, then aye, you're talking s**** He's trolling, Broey Tribbiani. Absolute s*** page after page from the usuals again. Why don't you attempt to offer something worthwhile to the conversation Jack? You have the patter of a f***ing kettle. Aye, this!

Aye, that'll be it. Nice fishing Jack. Hope you're enjoying all this xx You've got a cheek when you're first contribution was to try and wind people up

What shit Hans? I've pretty much said I think Pardew is shit, we'll finish top 8 with some decent football and i think we've got a talented group of players playing for us who excite me? And i also think M.Utd/M.City/Chelsea/Arsenal/Spurs/Liverpool are nailed on to take the top 6 positions?

Would you say that's fair? 3 good seasons out of 4 for people to be behind him?

This is true. Out of interest, do you think we are currently playing mind-numbingly boring and cowardly football? The results have been far from perfect but personally think the football has been a lot more positive on the whole. Not that this is difficult after last season like. I think some are so far gone, they can't see the change, blinkered by their hatred and passion for the bloke to fail.

Gouffran shouldn't be starting ahead of Remy or Ben Arfa. If he is starting then it should be ahead of Cisse. Otherwise, if you're just going to have him competing with Remy and Ben Arfa, then he should be on the bench. It goes without saying, really. Most definitely but i can't see that happening for a while after Saturday's performance, especially with the run of fixtures coming up, think Ben Arfa has a fight on his hands now and is going to need to knuckle down if we wants back in the side. He has a fight with Pardew's intelligence, not with Gouffran. Don't get me wrong, I like Gouffran, but there's absolutely no need for Ben Arfa to 'knuckle down' after one match in which everyone bar Remy and Anita were rubbish, and then another match when he was played out of position. Prior to that he'd been wide right and been excellent. Changing that was typical Pardew, f***ing moronic. Agreed.

Didn't realise i was the gash personally, i was assuming you meant the thread in general
