Liverpool look strikingly average. If we put on Cabella or another striker (or both!) we can get at them and cause real damage, especially with Skrtel on a yellow.

Sorry if that was a chomp, like, but issues like this have been on my mind as of late. I'm expecting a child, gender unknown, and I don't want my prospective daughter to grow up in a society where things like this are taken as a matter of course.

Are you kidding me? What is that if not harassment? That kind of shit happens here every day, and yeah, I'm going to say it - it's the blacks and immigrants, my own people included, who do it. It's embarrassing. Nothing is more obviously low-class than whistling at/obviously turning in the street to stare at lasses, and worse still are the very popular "I said you were beautiful, you should say thank you" implicit threats to solo women. The fucking worst is when they hound girls with strollers or who are trailing toddlers. Obviously men are going to look at good-looking women but that's all it should be, looking. I really question if any man on this earth has ever managed to get a number, let alone any farther than that, with this type of behavior. It does nothing for any of these deadbeat losers, most of whom do nothing except hang out outside bodegas and smoke weed they bought with welfare checks, except self-affirm their preconceived idea of women as objects.

Cracking game, City never looked remotely up for it and we were. Maybe this is the turning point for this season - I still think Pardew sent that team out to lose tonight though.

I think the Mbwia/Janmaat shit or not shit debate needs to take a backseat to a much more important issue - whether or not essembee can learn how to use a fucking apostrophe. You seem to get it right when you close the quote, so why can't you use the correct one to open it, you ````ing moron? (For my two cents' worth, Mbiwa didn't magically turn to shit in a season and a half at NUFC. His poor performances were a result of being played out position and never having a decent run in the team. And Janmaat will turn out like most class foreign defenders do when they first arrive in the PL - dodgy at the start before finding their feet, much like Debuchy, Colo, and Enrique to name a few from recent years.)

Zaki is a moron who inevitably went the way of all one-season wonders (check his career after leaving Wigan...doesn't make for pretty reading) but I wholeheartedly support his decision not to join Portsmouth because they had Algerians. I wouldn't want to play alongside those malingering Desert Foxes bastards either, especially not that year after they'd just cheated their way to knocking us out of the WC. Then when they got to the WC, they played 3 of the most dire, joyless matches ever before witnessed in world football. Cunts, the lot of them.

Great subs by Pardew. It's not that hard - put on attacking players and you will attack. Perez went from total passenger to match-winner because he had support. Didn't much care for how we went total defence around 75 minutes, that was a bit too much of the traditional Pardew negativity. They were there for the taking in the second half, we should've killed the game off.

To give us false hope that he might be fucking off soon.

I was expecting them to serve up some toothsome football but they've not got the appetite any longer.

Dogshit football from a poor side. Pardew waiting on another Cisse miracle, that's the only way we look like scoring now.

The hope was to pick up a win v. Stoke or Swansea and let any backing for protests peter out over the international break, but that hasn't happened and I think SPDC will be out in force again against Leicester a week Saturday. Can't wait to see what they come up with given all the time they'll have to prepare.

I think this season is proving that Colo is finished at the top level. He's been rubbish throughout and while I know it was a massive mismatch height-wise against Crouch, he showed no real desire to win that header. It was a perfunctory jump from a player who is in terminal decline. He might just be feeling the Pardew hangover, but I think we need to replace him in January.

That was Bolton away IIRC. Same level of nothing team though. Expecting a loss today. I think that as per usual we will find it difficult to score and difficult to stop from conceding goals.

Back at the bottom after Palace's win. The "two games to save his job" have come and passed and we're propping up the Premier League....

"We've had some great times which seem to have been forgotten recently." Wonder why, Alan?

It's only 9 like, if Sarfampton can do us by 4 I see no reason why Hull can't manage 3-0 away...Pardew may well have beaten the record by Guy Fawkes' Night, never mind Christmas.

He'll be getting the same punishment as the rest of the coaching staff, which is going to be one of two things - the sack, or fuck all. Saturday may well determine which it is. Who will Pardew send to the touchline on Saturday? Dollars to doughnuts says this cunt will get the same dog's abuse that Pardew will. Stone? Woodman? Call Graeme Carr out of the bowels of SJP to yell "hump it long"?

What lies behind the results is a terrible fraud of a manager who has presided over the most thumpings and certainly many of our most pathetic, abject performances, in PL history. All that's saved us from relegation the last 2 seasons has been a 15-goal a season striker to get Pardew out of jail. Now that they're gone, we see the truth about him - that he is a nothing manager, a footballing dinosaur who has lost the respect of both players and fans, and who not only deserves the sack many times over, but for whom it would be an act of mercy. His aspect on Saturday was of an utterly defeated man. I would be surprised if NUFC even picked up another point while he remains in charge. He is plainly finished and everyone knows it.

Because the only thing that makes us happy is Geordies, right?

Too cowardly to face the fans, too cowardly to face the media, even after we've banned everyone who might conceivably pose him a difficult question. Pardew's time is up. I can't see him still being in charge for the rumoured "second game". If he were a man he'd walk and accept responsibility, but if he were a man he would've done that last season.

Wouldn't care if he did the business on the pitch. That's one of the many things that's so grating about Pardew - he's both shit, and an odious cunt. If he were just shit, I could deal with it, kind of like Roeder. If he were just a cunt, like SAF or Mourinho or even Poyet, it'd be OK if we were decent. But to be both is inexcusable. I don't think he'll last much longer. The record shows that when attendances start to plummet, Fat Mike takes action.

I'll be very pleased with a win and grimly satisfied with a loss, since it will push us closer to the inevitable relegation scrap which will probably signal Pardew's demise. If Gouffran plays the latter is much more likely - he has become a total waster and it's like playing with 10 men. Since Cabaye went he's been our weakest link easily.

Because he's an Ashley arselicker.

I think Hugo Almeida is worth a punt given the state of our forward situation. Never going to happen like.

That we paid a financial outlay on? Fuck right off.
