BLACKANDWHITEGEORDIE

But the end result is the same.

No British manager will be appointed because they would all want a significant say in transfers. So we will end up with a continental head coach, who will have a working relationship with Graham Carr. My money is on Remi Garde.

Why do we get so many ex-footballers commenting on anything and everything and are often lead stories in the media. Prime examples are Robbie Savage and Stan Collymore who are both happy to slag off the Magpies.

Will the owners of Swansea be called 'just a selling club' by their fans if Bony gets sold for £30 million?

Various Sunday papers.

Good to see Pardew taking most of the credit for their win over Dover. The way he was talking you would think they had just beaten Real Madrid.

Ashley has announced he will not be employing a British Manager. Remy Garde (ex Lyon) and Christophe Galtier (St. Etienne)) are heading the list for the Head Coach position. Garde is available now.

Never forget he was taught by the master and I don't mean SBR. And I bet these 'new injuries' will disappear by next Saturday. After Tiote's crap display yesterday I think he is due for a new 'injury'.

Pardew took great pains in his media interview to emphasise that he is back in his true home.

Ashley has outsourced everything since he took over,

Carver is just a carbon copy of Pardew . Everyone knows that Pardew spent more time in London than he should have done and so left most of the coaching to Carver and Stone.

Are you seriously trying to compare Cabaye with Suarez? Cabaye has only made 26 apps. since January 2014. In Liverpool's case it was 2 players not 1.

Fans go on about Ashley not spending money. They say he sells expensive and buys cheap. Since he bought the club he has sold only 3 players for big fees, Carroll, Cabaye and Debuchy. Can anyone say they have been a huge success at their new clubs? This season he spent £35.4 million on Perez, De Jong, Cabella, Riviere, Janmaat, Darlow and Lascelles. For whatever reason we have had an unprecedented number of injuries . Is that the fault of Ashley or Pardew's training or lack of, methods. How many EPL clubs are playing their 3rd choice keeper? We have a 1st choice who has problems kicking the ball accurately, a reserve who is overweight and a 3rd who wouldn't get a game for Gateshead, all of course led by a goalkeeping coach who would cause an earthquake if he tried to dive for a shot. Pardew seemed he wanted to pacify fans by playing Geordies no matter whether they were ready or not. Dumbwit is an average CB and a lousy LB, Armstrong should be in panto playing one of the 7 dwarves and Sammy has breathing problems. Gouffran is well past his sell by date and Cabella will never get used to the physical side of the EPL if he is a permanent substitute. Colo must be sick to death of Willo passing the ball sideways across the field to him because Willo is so scared of misplacing a pass if he tried to make a forward pass. Who do the fans want to replace Pardew? Bruce, Sherwood, Hoddle, Clarke, Curbishley. I believe they are too 'old school'. There is a German manager who is taking a year out of football. He has managed Mainz for 5 years and is a highly respected , innovative Manager who is known to bring on young players who cost the club very little. He speaks perfect English. His name is Thomas Tuchel, 41 and he will be available from next season. He has no say in signings. Sounds perfect for Ashley.

Why is anyone so surprised that we played as if Pardew was still here. In fact he was, only the name had changed to Carver. I didn't expect Carver if he had any new coaching ideas to make any difference in his first few days. However, when it came to the second half he changed playing formation twice and made the most horrendous substitutions. Who are these people who think Armstrong is good enough to play in the EPL? What does Cabella have to do to get on ahead of players like Armstrong? Tiote was abysmal as was Gouffran. As for Alnwick he knows he is off at the end of the season so what does he care?

Why do fans keep blaming Ashley for selling our best players. If you were Sissoko would you stay playing for a team who are clueless and an Acting Manager who did not learn a thing from SBR.

Our superior, influential goalkeeping coach, Andy Woodman should take 50% of the blame. He has a Dutch keeper who can not kick a either a dead ball or moving ball correctly. A reserve goalkeeper who is kilos overweight and crap and a 3rd choice who flattered to deceive for 45 minutes against Chelsea and since then looks like he would have problems getting into a school team.

Hold up in talks due to Andy Woodman and the performance analyst. Seems Woodman can't decide whether to stay because of his son or leave with Pardew. Hope he goes if the likes of Elliot and Alnwick are his legacy. Including Krul and the other two, they have major problems in either accurately throwing or kicking the ball or any semblance of a connection between the goalkeeper and the back four. Ashley should get Shay Given to be coach. Still have never seen the point of either Carver or Stone.

When will Sterling be charged for hitting the Swansea player or once again will they use their 'influence' with the EPL and just get a warning.

If Pardew goes to Palace he should take Carver, Stone, Woodman, Gouffran. Dummett, Riviere, Elliot, Willo and Sammy with him.

Thank f**k you didn't include Fat Man Andy Woodman. He has to be the worst goalkeeping coach in the EPL. Carver and Stone are not much better.

He couldn't any way. He has zero coaching badges.

Why do people go on about us being a 'selling' club. Every EPL club is a 'selling' club. In 7 years Ashley has only sold 3 players for reasonable money. Carroll/Cabaye and Debuchy. Did Spurs fans call Spurs a selling club when they sold Bale, Man. Utd. when they sold Beckham and Ronaldo, Liverpool when they sold Suarez. Football stopped being a sport when Sky moved in and dictated when clubs would play. Why are clubs playing 2 games in 48 hours? Ask Sky. Now it is purely a business run for the benefit of owners, players and Sports broadcast channels.

I f Pardew is watching the Notts. Forest/Birmingham game, he should send Lascelles straight back to Forest. Another disaster waiting to happen. He makes Saylor look like Kompany.

From what I saw Dumbwit was responsible for the first 2 goals which came from the right although Colo and Taylor played as if it was the first time they had met each other. Should have had penalty despite Shearer maintaining Gouffran tripped himself up. Defence have no faith in Alnwick. Perez again shows great potential. Armstrong OK. Gouffran dire.

About as high as Ashley signing Mourinho as his replacement.
