Aye he's got a great appreciation of space. Dare I say he may actually look more comfortable in the advance role than Cabaye did.

Nice Technique from Ayozé

Champions league

Just sub him ffs. No idea why he's playing considering he didn't train yesterday.

Gouff in central midfield is totally pointless.

I forget who was telling us he's a good player

Yanga looks gash as well.

Hoof

Great to see Colback providing such a good shield to the defence

Pardew really is monkey see monkey do.

Looks like it mate.

Is Haidara playing LB or Yanga? Can't figure out if we are playing a back 4 or back 5

No expense spared for the Toon

Tired as fuck

Won't believe we've lodged any bid until I see a reputable source.

You'd hope so, but I think our business is done. Still 2-3 players short of where we need to be. Pretty much how I view it as well. Can't see us trying for Lukaku given the price and how much we'd have to sell him for turn a profit.

Getting up, I know I'll regret it though haha

The only way I see Pardew being sacked is if we are flirting with relegation.

Given how much of a crock he is we did the right thing selling him despite it not appearing to be the correct decision at the time. The real issue is how poorly we handled reinvesting the money into the team.

I can't. It's so far from anyones reality I can't even envisage it.

Notice how after the fans slamming the club for being unambitious they suddenly start talking about the champions league? Talk is cheap Alan, Talk is cheap.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/28483237 Newcastle manager Alan Pardew says Southampton's summer departures offer a warning of the price that clubs can pay for missing out on Europe. Last term Saints fell short after finishing eighth in the Premier League. And they have lost Luke Shaw to Manchester United and Adam Lallana and Ricky Lambert to Liverpool, while boss Mauricio Pochettino moved to Tottenham. "If you don't make the Champions League, the big teams come for your players," Pardew told BBC Newcastle. "Look at Southampton. We're pushing every year to try to build and hopefully get to a stage where we make it without losing our players." Newcastle signings so far this summer Daryl Janmaat Defender Feyenoord Jack Colback Midfielder Sunderland Siem De Jong Midfielder Ajax Ayoze Perez Forward CD Tenerife Emmanuel Riviere Forward Monaco Remy Cabella Forward Montpellier The Magpies have been well-backed by owner Mike Ashley this summer, with managing director Lee Charnley and Pardew working closely to secure their main targets. Forwards Remy Cabella, Emmanuel Riviere and Ayoze Perez, playmaker Siem de Jong, midfielder Jack Colback and defender Daryl Janmaat have moved to St James' Park this summer. And Only Mathieu Debuchy of Newcastle's first-team regulars has left, joining Arsenal. "It comes from having a very good relationship with Lee Charnley," Pardew said of the increased activity. "We've spoken everyday and are on top of every transfer. We've pitched in and signed players that we think will give us a chance to push for Champions League." Since returning to the top flight in 2009-10, the closest the Magpies have come to a Champions League return has been a fifth-place finish in 2011-12. There was optimism last season that they might challenge again last term with Pardew's side sixth in December. However, the loss of Yohan Cabaye to eventual Champions League quarter-finalists Paris St Germain during the transfer window was one factor in a late-season slide which brought just five wins from 19 league games between January and the end of the campaign. "We have already shown signs that offensively we're much better covered then we were after Yohan Cabaye's departure," Pardew added. "We have options, more options to come in and it's going to strengthen my hands to tactically change the team." "At times last year we didn't have the option as we didn't have the players." BBC can fuck right off spreading this bullshit.

Yup he is. I'm totally against giving arsenals reserves first team football and handing them back as well. It says it all that Pardews targets are the likes of Jenkinson and carr wants the like of Janmaat and Aurier. English grit and tackle... English garbage. Expensive to dispose of. Actually i think Jenkinson is alright but Janmaat or Aurier are better players. I'm glad it's still Carr who is listened to, still begs the question why no one within the club is questioning Pardew's mismanagement of the players. I used to be solely in the let the manager buy his own players and then live and die by them, until we got this prick as manager, which changed my mind in an instant. Bimps Jenkinson would have been a huge downgrade on Debuchy. He's the sort of fullback I'd expect to see playing for relegation fodder tbh. I know he's nowhere near Debuchy, it's just me having watched him a fair bit think he's not as bad as some say. He's got potential to be quite a good player. It won't be the first or last time i'm wrong about a player tbh He's lacking with the ball at his feet for me especially in the modern game where fullbacks are providing the width. Whereas i think he's ok with the ball, matter of opinions i guess. Sure is mate I just think he's distinctly average that's all. Opinions on players is part of my love of football. Wouldn't it be boring if everyone thought the same about every player. Pardew thread is a good example of this to be honest.
