I thought we were much better against Stoke compared to West Brom and West Ham at home. Anita's role in particular interested me. There goal was a sickener and the 2nd was an aftershock from the first one...

 

In isolation it wouldnt be that bad but atleast this time we got a performance if not points...recently, we have had neither (though points would be nice :) )

Our principles always end up with us spending next to nothing every transfer window, except when we had £35 million to spend and we spent moderately. It's just such a bloody coincidence!

 

Nobody's ever said we aren't trying to get bargains.

 

Think you've missed my point, I'm yet to see the evidence that we'd buy lots of little bargains if they were available, the main focus seems to be investing the square root of fuck-all in terms of net spend. The purple players bollocks backed that up.

Kinnear :lol: nothing will ever be as bad as having that utter cretin as our manager.

 

Kinnear as boss was like a movie that's so bad it's rather entertaining.

 

Ironically funny. Definitely.

Pardew believes he has Toon board backing despite being close to unwanted record.

 

 

Alan Pardew has got the backing from the Newcastle United boardroom to turn things around as he bids to avoid setting an unwanted record on Monday night.

If Wigan leave St James’ Park with all three points then Pardew will have become the first Newcastle boss to suffer five Premier League defeats in a row.

But a frustrated Pardew is confident the encouragement he has from owner Mike Ashley and managing director Derek Llambias can help bring the winning feeling back to Tyneside.

Backing: Alan Pardew said he thinks the board have supported him

  The Newcastle boss, whose side sit just two points above the bottom three, said: ‘The word from the boardroom is concern. We want to get going again and obviously to do well. They’ve given me massive support this week in trying to help me get the result I want, almost asking me what can they do for me?

‘At the minute there’s not much they can do for me if truth be known. Little things here and there we talked about could help but they’ve been very forthcoming in that.’

Pardew is expecting to dip in to the transfer market when the window opens next month but a string of injuries to key players means he is not yet sure what areas of his squad needs strengthening the most.

He will welcome striker Shola Ameobi back to his bench tonight after groin trouble. The likes of Hatem Ben Arfa, Yohan Cabaye and Steven Taylor headline a long list of absentees.

Pardew, who only signed an eight-year contract in September, said: ‘Unfortunately for us we’ve had a real turn of events in terms of injuries.

Assistance: Papiss Cisse could help Pardew avoid the record

'I can’t think of a Premier League team in the last couple of years that has suffered as badly as we have in terms of key players. You can almost look in every position.

‘People are asking me about the window and what am I going to do but you could argue we’re weak in every position through injury. In my view the January window isn’t something we can focus on at the minute in terms of a target.

‘We have to keep our eye on every position and make sure that in January we react to who we get back because one or two will come back, for sure.’

3 first team players out through injury = worst injury crisis in Premier League history. The injuries the last few weeks have been way worse than the rest of the season too, but he's going on like we've had 10 key players out all season. I've honestly seen injury crises 10 times as bad at NUFC in the past. Times when half the team are playing out of position, you can't even remember what your best 11 is, etc.

 

Go away Pardew, you are really fucking annoying me with this shit  now. Seriously, it's really getting on my tits.

See it for what it is, some do fall for it so he has every right to use it again.  :lol:

Some fall for it = some can just see bullshit for what it is. As I said before, her will overplay everything he, it's what managers do.

The more he talks the more I want to punch him. Also note how he praises Ashley and Llambias, then says that we can't target any players for January because he doesn't know what positions we need to strengthen. I'm fully prepared for us to waste the transfer window 'deciding', and 'looking', and 'trying', ultimately bringing no-one of quality in.
