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

That video is on YT btw, looks like someone has re-upped it with a slightly different title

Depressingly this is how I feel as well

Honestly would not surprise me one bit if at some point he tries to spin it as somehow his fault like he randomly brought up Cabaye before the City game this season 'Unfortunately atom's lack of professionalism meant we had to let him go and that left us a bit short in that department'

Well that's Pardew's excuse for the next four months sorted 'we woz lackin a bit of magic in the final third that Sim would've given us'

Just set up Benzema for a goal Nope, offside

Stupid that Douglas retweeted it imo. This is how things which start off as complete speculation/misinterpretation become "facts" amongst the fanbase

All of that but as well just for the entertainment. When he's on he is mesmerizing to watch. After all that is why we watch football is it not - to be entertained.

Do they not use proofreaders at the Chronicle? Pretty much every article read on there is riddled with mistakes As well as being full of s*** most of the time

As far as I'm concerned he should've been starting alongside Williamson. It's not a stellar partnership but I think it's the best from what we have. As for the physical stuff, I don't think he was that weak. No more so than Coloccini really who regularly gets bested in that department pretty much every game but seems to be immune to criticism. And as mentioned, that's one of the easiest things to improve as a player. Just get him in the gym. It's much more difficult to teach actual footballing ability which is something he has.

Hatem should've replied that Colo is a shit defender with stupid hair

Pretty much my favourite player from the last 8 years or so since Shearer retired. Thanks for the memories Hatem

The board don't necessarily have to agree with it to go along with it. Pardew picks the team and if he has made it clear to the board that HBA won't be playing then they have no choice but to let him go, otherwise they'd just be paying him a lot of money to do nothing.
