Still got skinned at least once, also I've yet to see much attacking threat from him, crosses were poor today. Looks slow too.

So our team news leaks out the day before the game, after Pardew has been on about "spies" etc and trying to keep things under wraps. It's just another example of what an utter fool he is. Anyway, happy with that team bar Shola. Just hope we go out and attack them and dictate the tempo...I can dream at least.

What is this shit? It's not as if Taylor's a beast in the air himself, and add in his lack of positioning, tendency to give stupid handballs away in the area, backing off his man allowing a free shot, and now stupidly getting sent off and putting the rest of the team in the shit, I don't care if he's good in the air, he's a liability. But he's a geordie and he likes pumping his chest...seems that's enough for a lot of people.

I'm not sure what to make of it TBH. It could just be a natural reaction to being so badly outplayed on the night. We'll see if we manage to pull it together in the next few games. If not, serious repercussions for Pards. Yeah I agree with that, my next concern is that serious repercussions for Pards will result in JFK taking over...

A win there would be absolutely enormous like as well as, on the basis of last night, a massive surprise. But it's a new week. Who fucking knows? Can't believe NOTHING improved, man. Not even the basics like discipline. It perhaps wasn't the best game to judge us in, as they terrified us from kick off. Just far, far too much pace and movement. Any team out there would have struggled to contain them. Some might have dealt with it better, but not many. We don't play Man City away every week, though. The next four or five games will give us a better idea of where we're at this year. I just hope we get the bodies in that we so obviously need. Yep. It's hard to take watching your team being totally unable to compete with Man City, after the success we've tasted in our lifetimes, but sadly that is the fact of how far certain clubs have moved ahead of the rest. City will hand out comfortable defeats to most of the league this season. I still have mixed feelings about the season TBH, the Cabaye thing is a setback obviously. But on the pitch, we got the inevitable beating and just need to move on now. It's the manner of the defeat that bothers me, half the team looked like they wanted to be somewhere, anywhere, else. That doesn't fill me with much confidence for the rest of the season.

This is even more pathetic than I expected. So, when does JFK take over as manager?

Owen talking about playing with Enrique at Liverpool...what a fucking bell end. Get him off my tv!

The best thing we can say is that Kinnear hasn't actually wrecked our entire transfer operation yet, which TBH would do me fine. Same thoughts here.

Yep, even half-fit Hatem's capable of things no one else in the squad could even dream of. Just need him fit.

Why do people think Ashley is selling up? This isn't the end of the nightmare, it's just about to get more terrifying.

Can we have a thread with a long list of all the verifiable lies he has told? We can add new lies daily the way this fools going.

Seriously now, if his knowledge of us and our players is this fucking bad, then just imagine how bad his general football knowledge must be. Scary thought.

Ben Afre? Amemeobi? Sissy?

"I'm a football manager" True intentions coming out there?

This is the ramblings of a mad man, what the fuck is he on about?

Oh, now it's time to start insulting the fans. What a prick.

Derek Lambase - hahaha, couldn't make this shit up!

Is that honestly a real quote? Afraid so. :'( http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/sport/columnists/mattdickinson/article3793602.ece?CMP=OTH-gnws-standard-2013_06_17

“I would consider something like a director of football post. But I would do that for just one reason and that is to get myself back into full-time management. If I was a director of football and the manager was struggling and got the old tin-tack, I would tell them that I’d take over.” Joe Kinnear, June 2012. Quotes from the Times, the rest of the article is behind a paywall if anyone can paste it? Can't believe this is happening. It's going to get a hell of a lot worse too I feel. This kind of decision leads to relegation. Oh by the way, he's on talksport at 10pm - I don't want to listen but I just can't help myself, it's going to be car crash radio.

Hope his leg is broken...this season has got so much better in the last few days.

Get the fuck in!!

Fucking get in!!! Think I celebrated that more than I have any of our wins this season, what a fucking joke.

Please just attack them ffs, we can win this...whether we will or not is another question.

I really want to wake up tomorrow morning to hear that he's been sacked. Sadly, can't see it happening.

Cisse is really starting to piss me off now like.
