If he gives it to Carver for the rest of the season the relegation battle will be back on & a swift exit from the F.A. Cup.

Krul & Elliot due back 10th January the Chelsea away game

To go ahead 3 times at home to Burnley & only draw it almost seems like a loss the spirit of Pardew still remains at SJP.

I still think he'll give it to Beardsley ex player, local hero, already knows the score under Ashley.

Pardews going to were he belongs he'll no doubt be a hero to Palace fans for a few weeks until he gets his feet under the table. The simple matter here is the job/club was too big for him the stats show for themselves he was way out of his depth. He was unliked by the fans (give us a wave Alan) was disrespectful to some other managers. He was lucky not to get sacked over the head butting incident (how could he discipined other players after that ). We all know he only got the job because he was a mate of Ashley's he hardly had the best CV in the world as he was paid off at all the other clubs he'd managed. We are well shot of him that's JFK, Llambias, & now Pardew gone that just leaves the main event. Hopefully the sackpardew.com guys have something up their sleeves remember this is OUR club it may be a shadow of it's former self now but like a phoenix it will rise from the ashes.

If he doesn't go i'd imagine the sackpardew.com gang give it another shot.

Hopefully he'll be gone before Thursday because it'll be a pretty poisonous atmosphere towards him at SJP if he's still here.

With JFK gone Pardew on his way (hopefully) Lambias up at Rangers could this be the beginning of the end of Ashley at Newcastle ?

It'll most likely be given to Beardsley he know's the script under Ashley.

Well i would have done the Cisse for Tiote switch at halftime and has Sissoko taking up Tiote's place. Because there were plenty of chances early in the second half crying out for Cisse.

Will he use the 4-0 mid-week frashing as an excuse ?

Cisse should have been on before Armstrong also Riviere should have been on,on the hour mark when it's plain to see that's all Ameobi has. Fanks Mr Parsnip 4 derbies lost on the run what a cunt.

Aye start the 2nd half by getting Cisse on get Tiote off while his only on a yellow let Sissoko drop into Tiotes position

If it comes down to it having to be Woodman on Sunday shirley we have someone with a bit of experience in the Premiership stepping in and taking the goalies jumper. A bit like the old days if the keeper was injured or sent off, don't forget Shearer started playing football as a goalie.

According to physioroom.com. Krul ankle/foot injury 3 weeks Alnwick shoulder injury no return date Elliot hip/thigh injury 3 weeks That leaves us with Freddie Woodman a 17 year old kid with no first team experience to face the blue pop guzzlers and the Xmas and new years fixtures

Well 90 minutes that offered so much and gave so little the final 25 minutes were almost like a training game to Spurs.

So there is mate sorry but you know what i mean .

90 minutes away from playing at Wembley must be an incentive for the players to go all out to win the game no matter what Ashley & Pardew's script reads.

It's the last Sunday before Xmas and the town will be busier than ever.
