Todays a perfect example of why we don't need Tiote against the lesser teams.

Sissoko looked like a 'proper' right winger there.

Fuck off Tiote.

It's certainly not better than what Pardew has now and whether that team should have won the championship or not, it did, he did and we did it in style towards the end. The team that was relegated also should have stayed up, but it didn't. It's not as simple as saying something should happen regardless of what does or doesn't happen. It's not like it's one game and you can say that the result proves a point definitively. He proved it game after game, week after week and not only restored a lot of faith in our team, but he also got a lot of us just enjoying football and enjoying winning again. The season that we came up, we were a mid-table team that would win some and lose some, but there was at least some batterings that we handed out along the way and a lot of enjoyment to get from our football. He goes down as a very important person in our history for me and regardless of what you think his worth as anything is, his actual, tangeable contribution both on the field and off it was tremendously important to me. Me too. Seems easily forgotten what a shambles the whole club was in when we went down too, to downplay his achievement always sticks in my throat, he did a fucking excellent job. His achievements are only being downplayed in a desperate attempt by some to try to make Pardew look good. When Hughton took over we were for sale, in a complete shambles on and off the pitch and if I remember right he wasn't even being paid (certainly not as manager) when he took over and helped massively in ensuring we were in a position to come straight back up. For that he earned my full respect and in my opinion was then sacked because he wouldn't tow Ashley's party line. Pardew might be a better option than Kinnear, but a club like Newcastle should be looking for a better option than both.

Lets be honest, only a racist cunt would want that sort of attention. And in a way I'm glad social media makes it so easy for people like that to out themselves...I'd say they may be getting a knock on the door pretty soon.

I'll admit I didn't think he'd ever adapt to the league! Love him now though, proper quality right back. Such a fighter you'd think he was English ffs.

Definitely did enough to force a start next game. We went from being solid to being dangerous once he came on today.

GET. THE. FUCK. IN.

Fucking hell!!

Yep. Can't wait till he hangs his boots up cos they'll be losing games like today when he does. Always seems to score when they need it.

Shit goalkeeping to be fair but you just knew he'd fucking score.

WHAT A FUCKING GOAL!!!Haha get in Gouff!!

I fucking hate Cisse...how fucking hard is it to look across the fucking line?!!!

Yeah it's stupid and should have been kept private but at the end of the day it was a joke ffs. It's hardly on the scale of Saurez or Terry!

Shola's playing real well at the moment, to be fair to him. 1 PL goal in 50 ain't bad. Is his recent record that good? Anyway, its criminal not to play someone with Ben Arfas ability.

Played really well yesterday. Loved it when he pushed Bosingwa (I think) into the advertising boards!

Imagine that They look so much more up for it at the moment. Enter the crowd its a yellow there was seven of the cunts in there Yep. Lee Probert's obviously showing us that he's gonna let them get away with everything and turn this into the type of game that suits them and not us.

Isn't running into the crowd still a bookable offence? Half their fucking team should have been booked then ffs. Oh, great fucking start again by us. Urgh.

All I can see that he lacks is composure. He's got himself into great positions and fluffed it on several occasions. Unfortunately, that's massive for a striker - but aside from that I think he's extremely well-rounded. Pace, movement, tenacity, instinct and a touch of real quality - if that Leeds goal is anything to go by. If he had that composure he would be top, top draw. Sorry but are you having a laugh or something? "Well-rounded"? He's a poacher, a finisher, and that's it. He can't hold the ball up, he can't bring others into play, he can't worry defences with pace or skill. If he's banging in goals all over the place then that makes up for the deficiencies in the rest of his game (to some degree) but to call him well-rounded is a joke. Edit: thought you were talking about Cisse!!! That'll teach me to post after a few beers.

There are no positives to the decision, that's why. No doubt 1 or 2 idiots on here will defend Pardew if he does the unthinkable though.

On football focus they've just been talking about the chances of Pardew being sacked and JFK taking over...

If Pardew drops Ben Arfa I hope it's the end of him, the fucking disgusting cowardly cunt. First time I'm seriously considering the benefits a heavy defeat could bring...

I'll be absolutely fuming if he's on the bench, but with Pardew sadly that wouldn't surprise me one bit.

Whatever the score tonight, Celtic always give Barcelona a good game at Celtic Park, they know exactly how to set up against them.

This guy has looked shit since he arrived.
