The idea that we dislike him because he's from London is really offensive. Should that not count as slander? It's lazy as fuck.

Agree, it's absolutely shocking that they are allowed to spout that bollocks and get away with it.

The advantage that they have is that if it was an individual they'd get done for slander, yet somehow saying it about thousands of people is apparently fair game. It's a sign of the times in a way, imo.

I've just listened to Talksport having a go at him yet again. They're the only ones genuinely telling it like it is.

 

:thup: Its on regularly at work and Colin Murray and H&J are always talking about sackpardew, reading out stats and making comments about him being shit. Good to hear Durham stopped trolling for a few hours to tear the prick apart as well. No shock that professional fucktard Gough didnt join in though.

Well, look at the way Rob Lee and Les Ferdinand are despised up here for being southerners.  We can't stand Pardew because he's a bellend.  If he was a geordie he'd still be a bellend.

Alan Pardew is running out of time at Newcastle United and running out of space to manoeuvre when it comes to addressing the public.

 

There was an almost comical situation when the Chronicle asked the question whether he felt he could genuinely come back from another Premier League defeat.

 

Pardew quickly turned to his communications chief Wendy Taylor, who batted the question away saying: “No questions from NCJ sorry” only for the manager then to turn to another banned title in the Daily Telegraph and quickly realise - in the presence of some of London’s frontline press men - that he could look a bit silly if he continued to pick and choose who to answer.

 

After the press conference leading national writer Henry Winter tweeted: “Pathetic.

 

“Local papers vital for a club, they arefamily.”

 

For the second time in five months the Stoke City tea lady was left open-mouthed in the friendly old Potteries.

 

It was a bizzare night in Stoke and as assembled hacks tried to hit deadlines it almost felt a little surreal as a touring American, who had been to the Ryder Cup, protested loudly to Potters staff about the lack of free beer in the media room - we weren’t in the media-friendly environment of the United States!

 

Pardew knows fine well who each journalist is though.

 

Shortly after being appointed he asked his press office to compile a dossier of each journalist so he could put names to faces.

 

At the start of last season he also invited the North East press pack out for lunch on the Quayside to discuss his hopes and aims for the 2012/13 season and build up some rapport with journalists.

 

There is nothing wrong with that, of course.

 

In the United States sports coaches regularly spend time with journalists as they try to get the message out.

 

In fact, in the MLS the dressing room doors are open around 20 minutes after the game and media men are given access to speak to who they want as well as one-on-ones with the manager.

 

The Premier League try to encourage mixed zones but they can do little to stop press bans.

 

Newcastle are a million miles away from the MLS and way behind their Premier League counterparts.

 

Last season, one opposing Premier League Press officer said: “They are very touchy your lot aren’t they!”

 

Once a siege mentality kicks in at a football club almost anything becomes believable.

 

That said, Pardew has been irked by a lot of what has been written in the past few weeks.

 

After the 2-2 draw with Hull City he said: “I am going to pick out Robbie Savage this week” after the ex-Welsh international and BBC pundit said he sounded like a broken man.

 

Savage, who spoke after the 4-0 loss to Southampton, said: “I stand by what I said about Pardew after Newcastle’s 4-0 defeat by Southampton - I did not say he was a broken man, I said he sounded like one.

 

“He did sound dejected, although I have never been in the situation he was in, coming out to face the media after a game where his players have not performed. It must be very difficult.”

 

Pardew has not just been annoyed by what Savage has said recently.

 

He has also taken issue with things Chronicle columnist Rob Lee and Journal columnist Don Hutchison have said in the past.

 

One of his main gripes has been the suggestion he is sitting and waiting to be sacked.

 

Pardew was offended by talk he was simply standing by for compensation but at the moment he would be advised to focus on winning football matches rather than rounding up who is saying negatives about him.

 

Nobody likes being criticised but when you are the bloke in charge of the team whch has banked 19 points from a possible 81 since Boxing Day it is always going to come your way.

 

Newcastle are notstruggling because they are unlucky.

 

They are struggling because the manager cannot figure out a game plan to win Premier League matches and opposing bosses are easily working out how to turn the Magpies over.

 

Regardless of comments from pundits and journalists or whether they are on point or not - the league table does not lie.

 

Pardew has had more than enough time to make this team his own.
