Who fancies having a thoroughly fruitless protest against Pardew?

[Guest neesy111]

Just seems very... 'us', to the point of it being a cliched joke.

 

We're back to protests already? 

 

Name something else better then?

 

- Support the players on the final day of the season.

- Buy Coco and his friends a drink

 

I've supported the players all season.  Sounds like the manager isn't bothered by the result, why should the fans be.

 

Buy a drink, what the hell are you on about?

[Beren]

Even if it doesn't get dealt with, so what. Forum is crazy. You just have to accept that some days the mackems will beat you 3-0 on your turf, and some days Liverpool will beat you 6-0 on your own turf. Some days Arsenal will stick 7 past you, and other days you'll make a team full of internationals scrap to avoid a relegation place with Norwich and Wigan in the penultimate game of the season. These things just happen, and if fans don't unrelentingly throw money at the club they CLAIM to support and have a good time with the most optimistic of all possibilities at the forefront of their minds, tongues and keyboards... they're not real fans, they're crazy forum folk.

 

Also, we risk a disgrace beyond seeing Paulo Di Canio slide across our pitch on his knees... other people might think we're impatient or deluded! Fans should accept they have no power and enjoy life instead of constantly reaching for their razor blades.

Make this a vote. Anything over 75% in agreeance start a campaign.

[Guest firetotheworks]

At the risk of this becoming another copy and paste Pardew thread, very little has changed between this season and last in the way we've played football. Just results and the final league finish. Yet, no one cared last season as we lucked our way into Europe. Just seems very fickle to me, but then that's football.

 

Before the Liverpool game I wasn't even sure that the feeling of the 'everyday match goer' was the same as the internet crowd. I'm still not convinced it is. I'm sure people have theories as to why that is, but I'm not sure the final day of the season will see the level of protests and venom people want or expect.

 

Sorry, that's nonsense. The football last season was rubbish, until everyone with an ounce of common sense assumed that Pardew would continue with the football mentality of West Brom away onwards. This season he did not play that way at all, played long ball with technical players, blamed absolutely everyone but himself, and above all lost regularly. He has overseen our worst away record in 50 years, our worst home defeat in 90 years and our worst defeat to Sunderland in recent years. He has taken a team full of internationals to the brink of relegation.

 

He needs to go. This is not fickle. He's had all season and he's had all chances.

Coco and his mates will be at the Arsenal game this Sunday. Buy them a drink instead.

Perhaps my memory is terrible, but last season was pretty much longball and let Demba Ba do some magic. He went cold and Cisse caught fire instead. There were 3-4 games where we played some really nice football when Ben Arfa returned, but other than that it wasn't anything to write home about. We had ref/assistant ref decisions in our favour for once and scored some wonder goals.

 

I just think they'll be a pocket of fans trying to protest, everyone else wondering what they're up to and not really caring. Mike Ashley won't fire Pardew and nothing will be gained other than 'GEORDIE BOUYCOTT'. If Mike Ashley does 'give in' and fires Pardew, he's seen as a weak owner who gives in to deluded Geordies.

 

By all means if you must, protest, but I'll have nothing to do with it. Just find it strange that we're back to protesting so quickly.

[Guest firetotheworks]

FWIW, I've been to every home match this season. My opinion would be no different without N-O.

[Toondave]

This "Geordie cliche" shite really is a curse on the club, people are scared of doing anything in case they're labeled delusional or ungrateful or whatever

[ChrisMcQuillan]

Definitely willing to support this through the United For Newcastle follower base.

[Guest icemanblue]

Inochi, nee offence mate, but if you think there's 'no need for protests' then I don't even know what to say. Pardew must go, if it takes any kind of minute nudge for that to happen, then I'm more than happy to be the one doing it, as are hundreds of people on here. Geordie cliche' my entire arse, this isn't a kneejerk, he's had an entire season and been given chance after chance, he's blamed everything but himself, including us.

 

I can knock up some "MAKE THINGS GO EXACTLY HOW I WOULD LIKE THEM TO" banners for this, if you'd like.

 

I'll make a "WE GRATEFULLY ACCEPT WHATEVER SHITE WE'RE SERVED" banner on a blanket sewn together out of my payslips.

 

That'll look good, actually. You going to be there?

 

Working weekends atm. Wary of putting money into the club while the owners continue to take the piss anyway though.

 

Ah right. Never mind then. Thought that counts.

 

I bet your little eyes lit up when you saw this thread

 

It's just a depressing thought, to be honest. We all know how shit the season's been, the football's been and the manager is. That'll probably get dealt with in the summer. There's simply no need for protests, bed sheets and 'Geordie cliches'.

 

If he's not going to be sacked there absolutely is a need for protest. I don't care about Geordie cliches, I care about us improving as a team and I believe it won't happen with Pardew in charge. I'm not sure on the state of mind you'd have to be in to view people protesting for things they believe in to be depressing, but I'm glad I don't share it.

 

I'm not disputing that he needs to go, not even a little bit. That isn't the argument here. I just can't understand how a 'protest' consisting of, at most, a couple hundred people is going to make absolutely sure that'll happen. It just won't. It'll be embarrassing and we'll be roundly mocked.

 

If he's going to be binned, it'll be because of everything that's gone on this year. The biggest message we'll send next Sunday will be delivered with a quarter full stadium during the 'lap of honour'.

[Guest neesy111]

I'd agree with this, though I do doubt they'll have one.

People claiming that "results have gotten better" for fuck's sake, how can you say that with a straight face, man?

Ashley/Dekka have never listened too or given a fuck about the supporters. They're not going to suddenly start doing it on Sunday unfortunately.

 

Dave's right Ashley has made us a downtrodden bunch.

[Hanshithispantz]

I'm usually against protests like but I wouldn't begrudge anyone of it. They're cringe-worthy as fuck and we'll make the papers for the wrong reasons but so fuck, that's us in a nutshell anyway. It's just a lot better when we're finishing high up in the league and it's happening as opposed to facing relegation.

That's not the case at all and I find that opinion really sad. People don't vote for the green party because they think they'll win. They do it because it's what they believe in. This is no different and I don't think protesting in an intelligent and timely manner is at all embarrassing. This is the right time to make a point. Season over so no effect on results. Absolutely sure that he's not the right man. Full season given, all excuses considered.

 

This is about making ourselves heard, not about other people disagreeing or it being spun as a Geordie cliche'. It's brainwashing if you think doing that is embarrassing.

On here and Twitter, and that's modern football for you. The vitriol in grounds has been downtrodden to nothing because deep down the majority know they can't influence anymore.

 

The solution is Dekka/Mike get sick of his shit. We'll have no say in it.

[Alberto2005]

Pardew says he doesn't care if we lose 4-0. I don't care if we lose 10-0. Fuck off.

[Guest firetotheworks]

It's about having a voice though. The media seem to think we're fine with this. Abd we are because we whinge and do exactly nothing to change it.

I really don't care if you, or anyone, thinks I'm brainwashed or have had my 'fight and passion' battered by the owner. I pay my money, year on year, so I'm entitled to an opinion. The same with you and yours.

I'll make a "WE GRATEFULLY ACCEPT WHATEVER s**** WE'RE SERVED" banner on a blanket sewn together out of my payslips.

 

That'll look good, actually. You going to be there?

 

Working weekends atm. Wary of putting money into the club while the owners continue to take the p*ss anyway though.

 

Ah right. Never mind then. Thought that counts.

 

I bet your little eyes lit up when you saw this thread

 

It's just a depressing thought, to be honest. We all know how s*** the season's been, the football's been and the manager is. That'll probably get dealt with in the summer. There's simply no need for protests, bed sheets and 'Geordie cliches'.

 

If he's not going to be sacked there absolutely is a need for protest. I don't care about Geordie cliches, I care about us improving as a team and I believe it won't happen with Pardew in charge. I'm not sure on the state of mind you'd have to be in to view people protesting for things they believe in to be depressing, but I'm glad I don't share it.

 

I'm not disputing that he needs to go, not even a little bit. That isn't the srgument here. I just can't understand how a 'protest' consisting of, at most, a couple hundred people is going to make absolutely sure that'll happen. It just won't. It'll be embarrassing and we'll be roundly mocked.

 

If he's going to be binned, it'll be because of everything that's gone on this year. The biggest message we'll send next Sunday will be delivered with a quarter full stadium during the 'lap of honour'.

 

That's not the case at all and I find that opinion really sad. People don't vote for the green party because they think they'll win. They do it because it's what they believe in. This is no different and I don't think protesting in an intelligent and timely manner is at all embarrassing. This is the right time to make a point. Season over so no effect on results. Absolutely sure that he's not the right man. Full season given, all excuses considered.

 

This is about making ourselves heard, not about other people disagreeing or it being spun as a Geordie cliche'. It's brainwashing if you think doing that is embarrassing.

 

Ugh, man. You can find it as sad as you like, but you're deluded (wahey!) if you think it'll make the owner sit up and suddenly realise he absolutely must sack the manager.

 

I really don't care if you, or anyone, thinks I'm brainwashed or have had my 'fight and passion' battered by the owner. I pay my money, year on year, so I'm entitled to an opinion. The same with you and yours.

 

I've literally just said that I don't think it'll make a difference and made the point about people voting for parties they know won't win. That's not the point.  At least I have the spine to stand up for something I believe in instead of being scared or embarrassed about what other people think. This isn't the EDL, I simply want a manager out of the football club that I support and I'll make that known. You won't be there, we get it. Nothing you say will stop me going and I don't understand why your entire performance seems to be needlessly pissing on people's opinions and then going 'aw, well obviously I can't even talk to you.' when people disagree with you.

Inochi, nee offence mate, but if you think there's 'no need for protests' then I don't even know what to say. Pardew must go, if it takes any kind of minute nudge for that to happen, then I'm more than happy to be the one doing it, as are hundreds of people on here. Geordie cliche' my entire arse, this isn't a kneejerk, he's had an entire season and been given chance after chance, he's blamed everything but himself, including us.

I'm not disputing that he needs to go, not even a little bit. That isn't the argument here. I just can't understand how a 'protest' consisting of, at most, a couple hundred people is going to make absolutely sure that'll happen. It just won't.

 

At best you've missed the point, at worst this is a straw man. Nobody has said that it will make absolutely sure.

 

It'll be embarrassing and we'll be roundly mocked.

 

I don't care.

Ashley doesn't mind what time you leave as long as you pay your money.

 

Do what makes you happiest, mate. It's pointless me trying to discuss anything with you. What I will say, though, if all Ashley cares about is yo' dollar, then he's not going to mind a few banners in the stadium, as long as you're in your seat.

 

You're absolutely right about the second bit, which is why I won't be giving them any more cash until Pardew leaves.

Getting rid of Pardew far outweighs any potential embarrassment that a protest would bring us in my opinion. Sure we might be ridiculed by the press for a bit but so what if it meant Pardew was gone and we could go into next season with a bit of hope.

 

The other argument is that a protest will do fuck all to sway Ashley/Llambias I would assume.
