Now that's a scary sight lol

Rafa

Ha.....that could only happen to use.

Didn't realise Rafa was only 53.....nearly same age as Pardew. Yet has achieved so much more.

Aye especially after he just shelled out on 5 new players lol For me its on par with Keegan saying we'll never beat Chelsea.

Come on Ashley get the man signed up.

Was just watching Rafa's interview on SKY. Got a lot of respect for the guy with the way he conducted himself despite all the stick he got at Chelsea. Can't believe a manager of his calibre is available, and truly believe at this moment in time we'd have a chance to get him.

Half the stadium emptied....

Interesting...... No lap of honour Less bullish in BBC interview about his future No interview with Sky ....could it be?

Aye. Big loss cause he's such a big game changer

We didn't hang around & almost everyone around us left too. Quite a few people slagging off Pardew on the way out too. I stayed and the ground was canny empty.

Was outstanding. Probs best game since he came.

Hmmm....wasn't quite as bullish as before as to whether he'll be here next season. A glimmer of hope maybe.

Couldn't believe when he came out with that. Clearly scrapping the excuse barrel.

Agreed. I like him as a player - wasted under Pardew.

He couldn't even be bothered to do the lap of honour. Get Rafa in....average 2 points a game with Chelsea...not too shabby. Don't think we've even averaged two shots on goal per game under pardew.

Really don't see the problem with this.

We need to get those bed sheets ready.

Irreplaceable....we'll not see the likes of him at Newcastle for many years to come.

Heard Pardew is staying

Mancini was the same mind....I'm still clinging onto hope come Monday Ashley seen sense.

Pardews tactics have been so poor it's made our players look awful, which hopefully will deter bids.

It wasn't our injuries that killed our season, it wasn't the loss of BA either, nor was it the Europa League. Yes they had an impact but none more than the real course...Alan Pardew. The man is tactically inept, which is destroying this team. Even in the season we finished 5th, good results masked, poor football. Sadly Ashley seems happy enough so long as we're in the Premiership so I can't see things changing anytime soon. Depressing to say he least.
