worth a try

That would have been nail in coffin

Too easy

:coolsmiley:YES

this wouldn't happen if Pardew wasn't a manager

First goal wins this..

lol - they don't deserve to be in the Premier League. We've more fans on away games.

Just switched match on now - what did I miss? Swansea battered at Wigans goal?

Laudrup springs to mind as a manager who had no experience of UK football. Didn't do so bad did he?

Most of the players know if that if we go down they'll not need to worry themselves about the Championship as they'll be easily able to get a move back to the PL or another top Euro league. After having seen Gary Nevilles analysis of Newcastle I kind of agree with him - it's all when and good when you're playing well but when the going got tough they've gone missing.

One thing I liked about being in the Championship was I felt more connected with the club. You felt the players that were there cared and wanted to give their all. Same can't be said of the Premiership - it's too much of a business - too much money in the game. People come not because they love the club but because it's the best offer at the time. And to be honest I don't care so long as they give 110% in each and every game. But sadly that doesn't happen - more often that not it is these players who go missing once the going gets tough. What is upsetting at the minute despite Pardews shocking tactics is that there seems to be no unity within the squad - no real fight to get us out of trouble. You cannot say our squad lacks the quality as it is full of Internationals but what the last three matches have shown is that they could take it or leave it if we stayed up. Against West Ham I didn't see one player busting a gut.

He obviously wants to come here. touche lol

LOL - aye in other words nothing.

Amazing some people still have faith in the bloke. Hard to imagine but t'is true.

I've rather Ben Arfa at 10% than Shola at 100%.

A must win game and he's happy with a point. Says it all. Yes we kept a clean sheet and after letting in 9 goals in two games that's massively important. BUT at this stage not enough !!

Would have rather Alan Campbell came on...would have added some pace to the attack. Think they said Shola has scored 2 goals in 44 games...says it all.

If we stay up this season it'll purely down to luck. Yet again his second half subs killed the game. Shola for Ben Arfa, then Gosling (who has no match fitness) as opposed to Anita - give us a break.

Agreed.

What kind of football do Montpellier play? Did well to win the League.

Well lets see what happens... Still going got a 4-2 win for the toon....

Zidane's your man. Chances of it happening....zero lol

Interesting.....Pards playing mind games? He's done it before.
