Genuinely more excited for this than any Newcastle game in recent memory COME ON HATEM

Holy cow what a goal

Fact of the matter really is that unless you're in the top 6 (or to a lesser extent the relegation zone) then these pundits and commentators are clueless and ignorant and it's just the same old tripe getting recycled and regurgitated. Blame the owner, blame Cabaye, blame the fans for being too demanding. Pick your poison. It's the easy thing to do. They have no interest in Newcastle but have to talk about us so they whittle off the old cliches. I actually heard the commentator during the Soton game say that fans disliked Pardew because he wasn't from the area :eyeroll: That's why it's disappointing to me when someone like Shearer, who has a vested interest in the club, doesn't speak up more. He is in a position of influence on MOTD and yet he barely seems willing to criticize Pardew at all. I know he has a responsibility to be impartial but it's not like this is even a matter of opinion anymore really. The facts and statistics speak for themselves but aside from the odd article you barely hear it mentioned on TV or other mainstream media.

Jonathan Pearce man what a fat mess STILL talking about Cabaye ffs. We'll be relegated to league one in a couple of years and they'll still be using him as the excuse.

Really pleasantly surprised by how much coverage it's received

Not sure what that has got to do with what I said but I agree @Themanupstairs I don't really agree with your assessment of that at all but it's by the by, I was just pointing out one strange behaviour I've noticed in him recently but the general point is that his form has declined rapidly (which most people seem to agree with actually).

I think he has shown at least his work rate is solid so you could maybe see him creating space and opportunities for someone like Cisse simply by making good runs and dragging defenders out of position. It's crystal clear that this 4-4-1-1 we've been using isn't gonna work for him at least until De Jong is fit again though. The guy has been completely isolated in pretty much every game so far.

Colo in particular has been really poor imo. He seems to have developed this tendency to go charging out of position to close down balls when there is absolutely no need and players ahead of him able to deal with it. Leaves huge gaps in our defense and causes confusion for the other players. Williamson is barely a Premier League standard player and he was awful today but over the last 8 months or so I think he's been better than Coloccini at least.

What gets me is that he supposedly works on defensive shape four days a week in training and that's the end product

Nice shot of the banners and brief mention on BBC news just now

Janmaat

He can't play. More's the pity. Ben Arfa putting the final nail in his coffin would be some kind of beautiful cosmic justice.

if that's towards me, i was wondering what time it was to give an indication how long he stayed behind Clicked on that guy's profile to have a look and he's got a picture of Kim Kardashian doing you know what in his header It just says 'two hours ago'

Mark Douglas seemingly taking the gloves off on twitter now Mark Douglas ‏@MsiDouglas 37s Amazing to again bring up (11 month old) local media ban. Fans can see for themselves what is going on, Alan. #nufc

Ah to be a fly on the wall in that meeting. Pardew is probably down on his knees literally begging him for his job. Either that or the pair of them are sharing a bottle of champagne laughing at us. Probably the latter.

Spineless cunt

Just got home. This going well then?

Is Tiote back for this? Got a bad feeling we'll steal a draw and Pardew will proclaim it a tremendous result

Another hammering off Southampton like last season would surely put him on the precipice.

I think he is quite well liked by their fans isn't he? I know when he was sacked most of them were against it

Love reading and reminiscing about the Keegan years (especially the 95/96 season) but it's very bittersweet. Brings back great memories of excitement and optimism but then you quickly remember where we are today and how it couldn't be any more opposite
