If it's a good result today I might have to pull a sickie. Might be texting the boss that I'm not 100% at full time.

Mitrović Wouldn't have even had a shot with most of those opportunities. Defoe can seemingly make a chance out of nowhere. It's what you need in side like ours.

Oh it's Kevin Nolan

I'm in the pub and there's nothing else on. I have a feeling they'll only turn the volume up for the later derby. Cunts

Haven't seen any of Johnson's key contributions in the Sky coverage yet.

This montage of defoe is making me shit myself a bit.

They even brought up his no wins in 2016 stat. Shouldn't have sold cabaye, ah hang on..?

Goals on Sunday. Not Pardew's fault apparently. It's a matter of confidence haha. Not a mention of him not being good enough. Whereas martinez got roasted earlier for a bad game.

Might as well leave him until the summer. If you're already down I don't see the point in bringing in another manager and then having him take them down. They'd need a fresh start in the summer with a new manager without the stain of having "taken them down".

For what?

They either think he fixed us, or he brought us up. Wrong on both counts.

I think it helps bring out those that are not so confident in their (correct) opinions regarding Pardew. Nothing wrong with a little encouragement!

That. Is. Beautiful. More of the same please. It's beautiful because I wrote it! Haha! That's fantastic. They need a new thread I think.

That. Is. Beautiful. More of the same please.

Be careful what you wish for mind.

Alan Pardew? The renowned club builder? Fucking desperate hangers on. Scared of being compared to us if they want him out. They should be so lucky, it's the only comparison they'll ever be able to draw between the two clubs.

Was it in the bottom three?

I've been shitting myself all week. I am ridiculously nervous and I haven't felt like this in years. It would be so cruel for us to lose.

Sturridge has got his collar popped like a proper badman

Yeah. Consensus in work (l live in Cheltenham) is that we think we should be in the champions league and that Pardew did a good job. I'll have a conversation with someone. Talk facts. They'll accept it and say fair enough etc. And then they go back to speaking the same shit about Newcastle a week later. It's really thick. At least the whole experience has ensured that I take everything the media says with a very cynical view. About any club.

No charisma whatsoever haha. Dull

Just got in. What's the consensus on the match so far? Losing aside

I don't give a fuck about Southampton. Chop chop

I can't watch this. Playing football tonight. I'm recording it but I know I'll Google the result when I get in.

Is that sissoko starting on the left?
