Oooh...just beaten

...and that would endanger Pardew's position. That was my point.

Incredible how a group of people can so collectively agree that a tonking is totally expected, that the board and DoF have totally let down the manager, that this was the case even before Cabaye was pulled late in the day......and then that group can still express incredulity when it goes exactly as expected...and then blame the manager even with stupid player errors largely to blame. Pardew is an incompetent manager, no doubt. We will not employ a competent manager. We will not back that manager irrespective of competence. I only hope for the best from him.

You think Newcastle should go into any of those games thinking a draw is a big ask?

West Ham Morecambe Fulham Villa Hull Everton Cardiff 7 games for Pardew to stake a claim to keeping the job. We shouldn't be expecting a loss in any of those games.

I think you'd have to be mental to think the class finishes we've seen from Aguero and Toure are what the likes of Crystal Palace and Hull will have to bring.

"GET UP ROCKY!!!!!"

We won't play man City week in week out.

Was it not Ben Arfa lost the ball that led to the second? Not sure.

I sat down with my lad on my lap and he coped admirably with going one down. After the second went in though he cried his eyes out...so he's gone to suck a boob instead. Lucky bassa!

we ain't gonna finish with a full team.

Tiote shouldn't try to unlock Man City's defence just because Cabaye isn't on. Just keep the ball man.

Or because his people leaked the offer and he's pushing the move with ambivalence about playing.

Christ, I'd forgotten that sinking feeling of looking at our bench when it's announced... subs: Elliot, Dummett, Anita, Marveaux, Obertan, Sammy Ameobi, Shola Ameobi.

Krul; Debuchy, Taylor, Coloccini, Yanga-Mbiwa; Tiote, Sissoko; Ben Arfa, Gouffran, Gutierrez; Cisse.

Not even that crumb of comfort eh?

We proved at the end of last season that Pardew doesn't ask them to play hoofball. With better players on the park we hoof the ball much less. The problem is Pardew hasn't got any of the players to understand what our attacking system is, if there is one.

Off the internet Google is great

Amazed Wenger hasn't pursued that angle like. CT working on a whole other level.

Interesting reading the Arsenal fans thoughts, they tend to agree with us that £20m+ is more like it...and they're reluctant to believe Arsenal will pay it. http://www.goonersworld.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=22805
