Shame that like, didn't think much of his tales but he'd been around for a while and I like fans from other teams being on the board

Hope sullivan and gold go bankrupt.two people who should be on the poverty line given their own ineptitude.west ham are a joke,I would live them to struggle to reestablish themselves in the PL

Morgan's a disgrace.If he was a Newcastle fan I'd be absolutely gutted.he cares only about himself and should shut the fuck up about football

Superb player,if I was an everton fan I'd have been raging with the amount of times he's been dropped this season

Love HTT like,has the passion and heart of a Keegan

In fairness, I think everyone respects the lad but his appearance is something you can't afford to pass up. Well done to him

You're an idiot then, I could understand if we were playing like Stoke. No offence. none taken, I recognise my position sounds ridiculous but it doesn't alter it

People want something better all the time Cajun, I apologise if I seem like some idiot but I don't think what I said was nonsense. In my opinion, it's being able to look at things with the long-term in view. I'll happily change my mind immediately if our footballing philosophy changes or we start to dictate games but I felt like we passed the ball round better last season than we have done this year. I think of myself as optimistic and not being someone who asks for too much and rightfully so, you can say I'm asking for too much but if we were playing better football but lower down in the league I promise you that it wouldn't be something I'd be complaining. I'd just be complaining about Perch or Simpson

It's not about where we are though. Sixth/Fifth/Seventh, it's meaningless if we're not actually playing to a standard that is at that level because eventually, it'll even out and we'll drop further and further away from this pack. If you're judging Newcastle on a 'league position' basis, then, of course, you'd be a complete idiot to complain. For me, getting into Europe would be amazing just for the buzz of those games but I'd prefer to finish outside of Europe and see us playing good football and seeming like we could really develop rather than finish in Europe but get the feeling that it would capitulate due to the fact that we really haven't shown the quality to go any further I know most/all people don't agree with this but it's a long-term point of view. Of course I want to finish as high as possible in the league but my way of thinking we'll get there is for us to develop as a team, not just scruff and scramble our way in and be out of our depth

I'm on board until December 2012. If we're not playing good football with the players we have at our disposal (and I'm expecting another few exciting summer purchases due to our scouting) then I'm really going to question the situation. I think he's one of the best organisers of players defensively in the league however we can be more than that as a team and I've not seen any signs that we can under Pardew yet. I will however accept that it takes a while to form a team and make them play instinctively together. I'd say that we've rarely looked like a team going forward this season but we've often looked like a team defensively. Let's see a bit more of the former now that we're getting towards the end of the season

The thing is,it's not about Hatem.it's about footballing philosophy,I don't mind if he goes in the summer as long as we are aiming to become a more pass-move team.I'm a fan on so far as I think he can improve us,IRS nut about desperately wanting him because Im a fan of him.we need players who are technically excellent and offer a direct threat from midfield.at the moment we really have so few players who can fulfil that. I know it seems like a Hatem argument but for me it's an Nufc argument and a footballing argument and one that really disappoints me because I believe in it a lot and haven't seen it enough

In response to Cajun the reason I want Hatem in the side is not because he's better than the other options but because he offers something they can't.no one scares defended like he does and can put them on the back foot.he can transfom the way we play,I truly beleive that. We have some average players of course but: Krul Santon Saylor Colo (I would give Ferguson a run out at least) Ben arfa Tiote Cabaye Gutierrez Ba Cisse is far better than most,including Liverpool,arsenal and even Chelsea this season if we could get the players to gel properly.with injuries we lose it a bit,Williamson for me is nowhere near as good as saylor and perch is a weak link but Raylor has stepped up well in a squad role.it's asking a lot to expect he starting 11 I put out to be fit but even if we 1,2 maybe even 3 of those players,we should still be playing better football than we have this season.I just haven't seen enough to believe we had a system in place long term

Wish the point of view 'we're 5th/6th in the league' so we can't really challenge pardew on the whole didn't exist.I've said this before and been criticized for it but in terms of performances this season we've been average considering the players at disposal.we should be controlling games more and dictating play.hatem can help us to do that and while it means adopting a more risky strategy where we may lose points (look at Keegan in his second managerial spell) we will on the whole benefit from it.my only thought is that we're bedding in a lot of new players this season an maybe it's taking a while for them to play as one but if next season we play the standard of football we have this season,there is no chance of us being a top six contender I wrote this on an iPhone so it might be drivel.I mean what I say however

He's a fat fuck and his brand is filth but if anything has been proved since he changed the name, it's that no one gives a shit and most people still refer to it as st. james's park

This is just completion rate though right? So someone getting on the end of it? There's a hell of a lot of a difference between Jonas's style of crossing and someone like Valencia or Ben Arfa. I'd take one really good cross out of ten everytime over 4 floaty average out of ten

95% of his crosses are f***ing dreadful. I'd say for the amount of time Jonas has played on the wing in his career, he's probably one of the worst crossers of the ball I've seen. Even Enrique, who was awful to begin with, is now a much better crosser of the ball

Fortunately, I think we have been one of the few clubs who have kept an eye on the 'bubble burst' with financial planning. Football is on the precipice right now, the longer the recession goes on, we'll see this happening more and more. Can't wait for the day when wages come down but that'll be the last thing to go

If we are doing well, maybe. He's shown f*** all in the games he has played tbh. I've been a bit disappointed. I know he's young but he's obviously got talent. His problems so far have been using almost no brain, final delivery and defensive shitness. I would much prefer us to persevere with Ferguson at the moment if Sammy is not up to the mark yet

Top man,brought me my best days as a Newcastle fan.will always be at the top for me

Ox is excellent, such a direct player with pace, confidence and trickery. He's the closest in terms of excitement as when Rooney broke through (was it 2004?) so I would definitely take him. I don't know whether Scholes would be any good for England but he still remains a superb footballer and passer of the ball. I hate him though

Scholes is the best passer of the football in the league still. Silva and Modric have better movement off the ball and with it but for just straight passing, Scholes is still the best in my opinion.

Ryder can fuck off, he knows nothing about football. I cannot even begin to explain my disappointment at this situation. It's not for goals that I want Ben Arfa in the team, it's for the way he'll transform into a passing team with movement. Ba, Cisse, Cabaye, Jonas, Colo and Santon are capable of linking up with him and really frightening defences. Instead, what we're doing is letting teams come onto us far too much and relying on good defensive organisation. We should be able to marry the two, defensive organisation with an attacking mindset.

A lot of fans would do this, Pardew never will. Maybe for the last ten minutes in a cup game, so let's wait until 12/13 to see if that happens

Really really like Mick but don't think he's ever going to achieve anything in the PL. Will be jumping between the two top leagues his whole life. Look forward to seeing him as a pundit as he says it like it is and has got great heart. Hope Wolves get a shite manager and disappear because their brand of football is shocking

4-0 win, think we'll see an attack-minded philosophy for this game. Want to see a midfield four of Jonas, Cabaye, Tiote, Ben Arfa with the Senegal boys up front. Would also like to see Ferguson get twenty minutes on the left.
