I know nufcTV has never been particularly decent and there has been a turnaround of media staff recently - well, they sacked them all I think. But the 'interviews' post Blackpool are painstakingly shoddy, could well be filmed on a camera phone.

There are plans to 'rebuild it' just needs Ashley's approval. Pardew says that we have fallen behind top clubs in terms of facilities "especially water-based recovery and stuff like that". While I know very little about this kind of stuff, most Premier League teams have pools at the training ground these days don't they? We have blow up ice baths etc. Be good to get some upgrades mind; think Ashley has been fairly good on sorting out the training grounds to be fair. Not really the same thing though is it? Pools come predominantly into play in terms of working back from injury don't they? But yeah, hopefully it gets the go ahead.

In the Times article this morning, he admits that his goal is to be England manager.

I'm on my ipad atm, so can't link. But check out @jamiebrown84 on twitter, just a random guy but it seems Ashley told him in some bar about this days ago. Unfortunately must be true.

He hasn't gone to Portugal, so I can't imagine he will be sticking around too much longer.

In the interview Pardew gave to BBC Newcastle earlier, in discussing who - if anyone was needed to fill the gap left by Perch, Pardew mentioned Gosling as an option.

That's pretty smart. Not that I would ever buy it.

You couldn't make this up.

Anyone on here send him a letter?

Probably a couple more, we played eight last year.

Some appear to be real. Others are blatantly fakes (Puma City shirt).

But of a random statement. Talking about stability without explicitly coming out and backing Pardew.

Hope Pardew isn't tempted to sign Carlton Cole. Really wouldn't put it past him.

Is he not between homes at the moment? Renting in Darras Hall before while one in Jesmond is being renovated? That's certainly my understanding.

There has to be an announcement in the next ten days really, either sacking or backing him.

What was Tiote's long pass success rate? After Cabaye went off he just seemed to enjoy spraying the ball into the stands. 1/4. 25%

All those questions are bit open ended. Pardew is very good at skirting around the issues at hand. If anyone is going to ring when he is on Radio Newcastle, really need to be specific, hard hitting questions that he has to address.

Cabaye was waving. So he is either leaving or he couldn't clap because he was holding his daughters hand.

That not Tiote? I sit in the East stand and in the first half he took a cross in his midriff from close range. Made a really loud thud, as if he was made of concrete.

This, appalling. Least he could do.

Kevin Mbabu? At a guess.

Derek Wright I think.
