Bimpy, that be me told you all so nearly two years ago and got told to change the record by some, it gives me no pleasure to be a righteous smug cunt but i will be for a bit :lol:  Really it was only a case of seeing him for what he was a bit earlier than some others. Mick had his number well before me as did a few others.

 

For my part it was the set pieces that, as it's turned out i aptly tagged set penises. That right there was gun going off in my head about Pardew, the lack of imagination, the lack of trying anything other than hit Williamson. The utter lack of coaching or brain power used for the last 3 years. My trigger for seeing this cunt for what he was, utterly useless and a bullshitter in the extreme.

 

I never ever thought we would see him survive this long with so many heavy defeats, it's unbelievable he's still here, quite amazing.

f***ing SSN reporter outside SJP now doing it live cuts to 3 people who think Pardew is the right man for the job. I wonder how long it took to find them three?

Absolute c***s.

 

That's disgusting. Can't believe how these guys cover each other.

 

Must have gone now. I work over the road and there's no sign of anyone.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/newcastle-united/10795660/Newcastle-United-fans-have-rarely-been-so-depressed-and-sacking-Alan-Pardew-is-easiest-option-to-placate-them.html

 

After six successive defeats, after six moribund performances, emotions are running high at Newcastle United and understandably so.

 

This is a dreadful and embarrassing run. It is a stain on the character and professionalism of the players. It is a consequence of a club that lacks ambition, but will it end up costing Alan Pardew his job as manager?

 

I will weigh up that question shortly, but first let’s get the emotional side of things out of the way. To cover Newcastle United properly you have to understand the way the football club interacts with the city and the region before any objective analysis as to whether Pardew deserves to lose his job can take place.

 

Newcastle United is a remarkable club for one reason. The loyalty and passion of its fans. That is not the wild boast of a Geordie. I’m not a Newcastle fan and I never will be, but I have lived here far longer than I lived in the East End of London and I like to think I understand the city and its football club.

 

This is a club that has not won a major trophy since 1969, a club that has not won the league title since 1927, yet it is a club that has had the third highest average attendance in the country.

 

Newcastle fans do not support their team because it is successful, they do not expect to win things. Contrary to what you may have heard, expectations are not too high on Tyneside.

 

They may believe the club has the potential to compete in the Champions League – it has done several times before – but they do not expect to be there. They may want to reach cup finals and play in Europe, but why shouldn’t a club that won the FA Cup three times in the 1950s and finished in the top six several times over the course of the last 20 years aspire to repeat these things?

 

The only thing Newcastle fans really expect is a team that plays like it cares as much about the club as they do. What they deserve, is a team that has a go, that goes into the game on the front foot, a team that tries to win every game, not one that merely tries to avoid defeat.

 

They want entertainment, they want to go to matches hoping they will win the game no matter who the opposition are. They want a team they can be proud of.

It would be wrong to say Newcastle fans care more than others do, but there are not many cities, if any in Britain, that care more about what is happening at the football club that represents it.

 

Newcastle-upon-Tyne is a supremely confident city. It does not worry about what people in London, Leeds or Manchester think about it, it does not mimic or strive to be something it is not. It is a distinct and proud city in a proud region. The football club is the most obvious means to express that pride.

 

It is the same 12 miles away in Sunderland. People leave the North East for economic and other reasons, but I bet if you know someone who has, they still support their old local football team.

 

That is what football means to people in the North East and it is why Newcastle’s lack of ambition causes such outrage and it is why Pardew is standing on the edge of a precipice. The question is, will Mike Ashley – he makes the big decisions not new managing director Lee Charnley – shove him off it?

 

Newcastle fans do not have any pride in their team at the moment. They have been putting up with woeful performances and results since Christmas.

 

They know Ashley is ultimately to blame because he has failed to sanction a permanent signing since January 2013 and seems happy just to stay in the Premier League, but they are sick of cutting Pardew slack because of it.

 

This is not just about losing six games on the trot. This is not a team suffering a blip, this is a team that has suffered a catastrophic loss of motivation.

 

There seems to be a sense of bewilderment, nationally, that fans should be calling for Pardew to be sacked when the club sit ninth in the table and have been in the top 10 – the objective set by the board last August – since October, but this is not a one off. This happened at the end of last season too and the club were almost relegated as a result.

 

Newcastle have lost 14 of their last 19 games in all competitions. They have also failed to score in 13 of those. Whatever the players are being told, they no longer seem to be listening. They are a weaker side without Yohan Cabaye, no doubt, but they are still nowhere near as bad as their form has been.

 

Newcastle’s players stunned a national audience on Monday night with their lack of organisation, creativity and determination against an Arsenal side that never got out of third gear.

 

The truly damning thing is Newcastle’s followers expected that to happen. They have been suffering performances like that for four months.

 

Pardew is not solely to blame for Newcastle’s malaise. He is a good manager, but so too is David Moyes and he lasted less than a year at Manchester United.

Pardew no longer seems able to inspire his players. He has always managed Newcastle with one hand tied behind his back, but he has been happy to defend the regime and the way they do things. That might keep him his job, despite the animosity towards him on Tyneside.

 

Ashley is not daft. He will recognise the risk of falling crowds next season if things do not change. Unfortunately for Pardew, the easiest thing to change at the end of the season is the manager.

 

That will not heal all of Newcastle’s ills, but it will appease fans who have fallen out of love with those who represent them in black and white stripes.

Pardew is a convenient scapegoat and regardless of whether Newcastle beat Cardiff on Saturday to all but secure a top 10 finish, he is in danger of the sack.

He deserves sympathy, but he has rebuilt his reputation at Newcastle and he will get another job on the back of it.

 

He may yet cling on. Ashley may reward him for defending the regime by offering him a final opportunity to turn things around at the start of next season following a summer recruitment drive.

 

But you will be hard pushed to find a supporter who thinks that should happen. Rarely have Newcastle fans been so depressed watching their football team and that is the saddest thing I’ve ever had to write about them.

 

Good article

Total Sport tonight will be like a meeting of the Alan Pardew Official Fan Club.

 

I would ring in to have a go, but I have to take the bairn to her swimming lessons. Will have to wait until tomorrow night.

 

There will be callers who will want Pardew gone - but woe betide TS agreeing. Steve Harper is in the hot seat tonight-  no Ando.

The only argument left seems to be the completely contradictory "Ashley doesn’t spend any money" and "Ashley sells our best players"

 

You mean free Demba Ba that was so good he went to Chelsea and Yohan Cabaye that was so good he went to PSG?

 

Money means nothing if they're good players.

 

With these people the only way Pardew can be blamed is if we either spend loads of money or he picks his own players. The latter pretty much guaranteeing relegation.

The writing's on the wall. He looks completely broken and on his way out. I am convinced of it. This chancer rubs his nose or his temple in every fucking interview he's ever done since joining the club. Interviews in which he has lied and tried to be clever about the rubbish he spouts. I'm no body language expert but I know what a lying incompetent cunt who is out of his depth looks like. He knows he's been found out now and hasn't rubbed his nose or his temple in the last two interviews. His time is up and he knows it. I'm convinced.

I'm going to start an article tonight. For no one really, I just feel the need to try and perfectly express just how terrible he is. All of from every angle. I just hope that it's cathartic.

I disagree. He is desperate for a win against Cardiff but even without one, while there's no unrest in the stands, Ashley will probably continue to back him. It's our own fucking fault tbh.

Stopped reading there

 

Let the article down there. Unfortunately, because I enjoyed it to that point.

 

Agreed, it was a good read up until the defending Pardew rubbish.
