How many people saying 'too good to go down' said the same in 08/09 I wonder? Unless and until we start getting results then it's a possibility.

Exactly. It's a sign of a team that will be relegated, losing but then constantly saying "well we played better there like".

I never rated him and I don't think I ever will the way he's going. Ba and Cisse are not showing signs that they can play together to any great degree. Tiote is not showing signs of getting back to his best. We'll be lucky to get to the fifth round of the FA cup. Europe, first decent team we face and we'll be out. 2nd half of the season - yeah we may drag ourselves into a mid-table position, great achievement. Abject 1st half performances show that he's either not setting the team up correctly or the players are not playing for him. Signs of improvement are all well and good, but we're still losing games. I don't see many reasons to be positive, especially looking at the games we've just wasted and then the games we've got coming up.

I can get what some people are saying about us having improved in the last few games, but the fact is in the last 3 we've picked up 3 points (playing against 10 men at home fwiw). That is still relegation form. And it would have been hard to have got worse than the 3 previous games (0 points). Those are fake positives in my opinion.

Again, no blame on himself, fucking fraud. "We'll work on things" What, like we have been all season? Yeah that's gonna work.

Gonna be so gutted when he leaves, but tbh I couldn't even blame him, I'd want to leave if I was him...he's the only positive at the moment, and the only reason we are even worth watching at all.

Are you on crack?

I've been going mad about him tonight, but to be fair, he's not the main problem. If we had a half decent manager I've got a feeling most of our players, including Cheik, would look a lot better. Edit: was still fucking shit tonight mind.

Well I think wee know it's not the players that are failing us as much as the "manager".

Gutted. If we had an owner who actually cared about football he'd be gone now. Unfortunately we don't, Ashley looks for lackeys who work for him. Also, if we had a manager with an ounce of integrity, he might walk soon. Again, that's not Pardew, he also doesn't give a shit about the club or the fans. He was unemployable (for a normal chairman/owner). So chances are, we're stuck watching this shit until it's too late. Championship here we come.

Tbf, I think most of us say this every week. Might be easier to do a poll of who we wouldn't swap him for. My guess, Martin O'Neill, and...yep, just Martin O'Neill.

Yep.

Wonder what shit he's gonna spout after this then? Also wondering if my TV is gonna survive it. Might just hoy my beer bottle through it tbh. A season of fighting relegation, great.

Had £37.50 on us to win. What a fucking mug eh? Only saved by having £13 on Ben Arfa anytime = £10 profit. Moral of the story...we're a shit team with a great player.

By which point we'll be in the relegation zone. Well done Pardew, it took you a bit longer than I thought when you took over, but you've proved me right about how shit I thought you were.

People need to stop deluding themselves, we really could go down this year.

Marveaux now, when he has ZERO chance of actually salvaging anything, well done Pardew you fucking cunt.

I'm absolutely raging tonight, think the whole shit season has driven me to despair. Tonight I wanna kill someone (if only I could get my hands on Pardew).

This. I know we're unlikely to get a decent manager in to replace him, but he's a fucking joke.

HOOF!

Tbh, I'd like a fan to invade the pitch and remove Pardew.

That's what teams who get relegated say...hey we lost (again) but we played better than most of the other times we lost!

Even the woodworks against us. Oh and Pardew, you can seriously fuck off you gimp.

FFS!!!

FUCK YOU PARDEW!!!
