TK-421

Totalsport tonight was a total Pardew W***fest. In one breathe, Anderson is asking all caller... "You must have feared the worst when you saw the team he picked" .... then following it up with "Pardew never gets any credit for getting things right, like last nights team and tactics". The team he picked last night was not picked with a result in mind. It was a safety measure, resting certain/more important players for the weekend. He must have creamed himself with the way the game played out, and the result. But everyone now trying to proclaim him as some sort of tactical genius, while again missing/ignoring the blatently obvious... last night was just one of those freak results that happens, nothing to do with him. In fact, he tried to hinder the teams progress. Like I said last night, I'll credit the players, but not the fraud of a manager.

Was having a 'chat' with someone on FB last night, who was questioning whether I gave Pardew any credit for the last two wins. I said no, as the players were being given a lot of stick (by some media and fans) for the losing/winless run, yet Pardew was given sympathy. So now they won a few games, I'd give the credit to the players. Last night, he basically set the team up for damage limitation, with 5 across the middle, and leaving 'key' players on the bench in favour of the weekends league match. By pure crazy luck, some younger players stepping up, and Man City not playing to their potential, we actually won, but Pardew will be claiming to be a tactical genius. I'll wait to see how long this little run lasts, and whether its a flash in the pan. Alternatively, the protests/pressure on the manager may have simply bred a siege mentality, thats brought the squad together, and is starting to produce results. thus... keep it going!!!

Pro's: He's a Geordie He's free/available He's not Pardew. Cons: Questionable managerial record at lower levels. But that didn't stop Pardew getting the job. Hehe.

He'll probs sell it with a advertising clasuse that sports direct has to have space in the stadium. Thats probably what has put any potential purchases off, more tan the actual cost to buy.

Nah, they only scored 6.... you're lot scored 2 for them!

Oh dear... a cannot keep up!!

5-0 down now... incl 2 OG's. Edit... Mek that 6!

The size of that, and the line of sight, it pretty much means only the leazes, Milburn will see it, and the far end of the Milburn towards Gallowgate) will need Binoculars! If the screens were only gonna be that small, why not have one each end of the ground, epsecially if the primary reason was for Rugby replays/decisions??!! Just another joke, really.

Oh aye, 'just the bracket' indeed.

I've stopped listening now. Last time I did (last week), Steve Howey was on again, once again aportioning most of the blame for current position on the players. That was it, I was out. Otherwise, I'll end up crashing me car on the way h'yem one evening!

Read somewhere else that the screen is being paid for by the IRB (International Rugby Board) as part of the RWC 15 criteria. So not even coming out of club coffers.... but I bet they try and dress it up as such.

Ironic that one of the players that managed to hide Pardews tactical deficiencies, is now trying to save his job (again). Just need Demba Ba to chip in next.

Said it before, its the Mackems last season that have changed his thinking. Bottom at christmas and survived - he'll think its still possible. Problem is, I can't see us having the 13 points they did at that point, given our present form and approaching fixtures.

Aye, was having a shout at the radio on the way home. Howey puts the majority of the blame on the players. None of them seem to want to say that it Pardew who sets the team up, tells them how to play, and the one who sets the questionable tactics and make the odd substitutions. Loads of sympathy for Pardew working under and 'putting up with' Ashley, yet not realising that if he had it so bad, he could retain a scrap of respect and dignity by walking away, yet remains complicit in everything that goes on, because he just wants his payout. Almost felt like phoning in, but not sure I could stop myself losing my rag or swearing!!

In hindsight, maybe a boring 0-0 would have been better last night, if we wanted Ashley to take action? http://www.nufc.com/html/2007-08html/2008-01-06stoke-a.html

Steve Howey ... place of birth, Sunderland. Howey another to completely miss the point. At no point have fans NOT supported the team. The protests are aimed at the manager, not the team.

That reporter who ambushed Ashley on his night oot then reporting the convo, was probably the worst thing that could have happened. Had it been kept quiet, then he may have wielded the axe. However, Ashley being as stubborn as he is, he wont want to be seen to do what is predicted. The Allardyce and Hughton sackings both came pretty out of the blue, so he'll probably do it if Pardew manages to scrape a win or two.

Just seen the fraud on SSN, and he actually said the following after the match.... "A draw would have been as bad as a defeat tonight" The axe has to fall today.

Looking at Ashley reaction at the end of the match (not the lip-reading stuff), he looked like he was fed up of it, and seen enough. Hopefully this is it. As said above, we are in bad position right now, with difficult games to come. We will be truly adrift if he doesn't get rid very soon.

Tiote to be offered new deal... http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/402184/Newcastle-Chiek-Tiote-deal-Alan-Pardew Which he'll probably need to help pay for his two wives, and Mistress! http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/5953487/We-reveal-which-Premiership-footie-ace-has-two-wives-and-a-secret-mistress.html?CMP=SOC-Sun-Facebook-11_20_2013-191-0-0-0 (The Sun Facebook headline reveals it to be Tiote).

Seem to be a lot of people who were anti-protest saying that 'booing the team won't help them'.... completely ignoring the fact that the planned boo's and signs weren't aimed at the team, but the so called manager. Few callers and texts to totalsport last night saying as much, and Ando lapped it up.

Seem to be tweets suggesting the cancer has spread to other parts of his body now. Don't know if that's old news or just coming out now. Either way? Keep fighting it Jonas!

p*ss take considering the e-mails posted on here which basically said stuff like this was fine It was a trap, they wanted them out in the open so they could see and get them. http://approximatelyforever.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/ackbarTrap02s_zps3f0d0cf4.jpg

Was it this one?
