Brilliant.

Its just dawned on me we played an offside trap without any pressure on the ball for large parts of the game... No wonder going back to basics didn't work out so well for us, Pardle doesn't even know what the basics are.

They were pep has made them more 1 dimensional IMO

Golfmag does back Pardew for some reason

So many people putting the boot into Pardle its fantastic

Tweet one of the journos they are lapping this up ATM. Unless they are going to search everyone's pockets getting an A4 piece of paper into the ground won't be a problem

It was such a massive PR own goal that banning. Whoever allowed it wants a right slap. I bet the club wasn't expecting this reaction either. Considering the the strength of feeling against the club atm it's actually benefitted the local media to turn imo Not exactly this reaction, but keeping the local media sweet was always going to be the sensible thing to do. You could argue they're slightly unlucky that the ban has coincided with such an apocalyptic set of results as well. I think Pardew has still had more than a fair shake out of the personally but I think that reflects on him continue to answer the softball questions they ask despite the ban

Brilliant. Chronicle has really grown a backbone since they were banned, I expected them to start kissing ass some I'm pleasantly surprised

That's half the problem, like. Liverpool and Man U fight this sort of thing with fire. That's part of the reason they're the clubs they are. Yup, I think having key people in the media too really helps them not stand for mediocrity. Look at the number of pundits who are affiliated with one or the other whereas Shearer (our only one) barely puts the boot in at all. The key people in the media are all on Pardews side which is grim

Yup. That's exactly how I view it. Beat Cardiff and relegate them whilst saving the mackems. Pardew gains more power in regards to incomings and out goings. The likes of HBA Yanga and Marv and flogged and replaced with British players and we continue to struggle playing attacking front foot football with plenty of physical fret (just not from set pieces).

They are all shit under Pardew.

Yup couldn't agree more. Too bad Neville has branded us deluded Geordie's who will only be satisfied with challenging for honours. We just want to have pride in our team and enjoy watching them I don't think its too much to ask

Absolute tosh. If you take out the hyperbolic words I think most of this is on point. I'd love to know if a lot of these are Pardles tactics mind

I think it's more hope than expectation tbf

Incredibly well put. Couldn't agree more but prepare for the shit storm you will get for saying this

There really is no middle ground around here. He isn't a great player, but he's nowhere near as bad as some keep droning on about. Someone said earlier that Tiote can't pass. That is absolute bollocks. He's not Michel Platini, but he can put the ball about. We have gripes with the way we play, and we've all seen how static we are going forward. Tiote is a limited player, but he isn't the only reason we get caught out in possession or give the ball away. This basically - seem to be a few people with a Tiote agenda knocking around. Sure we could do worse no one is arguing that I just don't view him as an integral part of the team.

We played with 3 in central midfield and we didn't boss anything as Ronaldo said. I know he charges around and pumps his chest but that doesn't make him a great player.

From the players we've been linked with it looks like he is. he views Shelvey as a flair player ffs

Its bullshit good luck growing revenues without good players who people want to see.

FFP is bullshit anyways, all it does is solidify the current elites position

Well done Jordan and the others who held up their banners and cards, but the protests were muted vocally and until that changes, Pardew stays. Completely true. He'll probably think it's a small minority at this point. That's because it is.

He is happy we didn't concede more than 5 and to Pardew that's a victory. We created fuck all and he calls that a good performance no wonder players don't perform when expectations are so low

Southampton are only better because they have a manager who is progressive. Can you imagine Pardew playing Lalana and Rodriguez? Lol Shaw, Lovren, Lallana, Schneiderlin, Rodriguez & Lambert would all walk into our team. Personally speaking I've no idea how good any of our players are. I remember being over the moon when we bought santon Mbiwa moussa etc all of the players Pardew has been given have gone backwards.

What exactly has Neville been saying? Neville and Carragher both saying that 9th is as good as Newcastle fans should hope for basically. It's what most football people think tbh. Challenging for Europe is for better clubs than us, like Southampton for example. No the best we can hope for us to go out and play with an attitude to try to win the game. We can't day that under Pardew
