We might need his promotion experience before long tbh.

He must go. I've not said a word against him this season but it's down to Pardew that we've lost this game and there are several others where his negative tactics have cost us. We controlled the game in the first half. Where was that in the second half? Why take off two of our most influential players and put on two cloggers? Cabaye, fair play, he's coming back from injury, but Marveaux for Perch made no sense unless it was Pardew's plan to see the game out 1-0, which should never be his fucking plan considering how many times we've dropped points from that position. Our back four is not solid enough to rely on 1-0 wins. We should've pressured them for a second goal and kept the initiative that way. Instead he chucked it away with poor subs and we got our just desserts. No way back for him now. Pardew must go.

Oh do fuck off.

What the fuck is this donkey doing?

Brilliant! Speechless. Pick that one out Federici!

Some shocking reffing so far.

What a save! You can see the difference in our side now that Cabaye is back though. We have somebody who has a plan when he gets the ball.

Class player by all accounts and one we've been linked with before. Obviously not holding my breath on this one like but he's just what we need.

In the interest of being pedantic I think we signed Kuqi after the window had already shut. Back on topic, N'Gog is fucking shit and so is Aliadiere. If those are our plan B after Remy failed, we're done for - but as already said, I doubt we're actually interested in either one.

Ba situation all over again. He signs for them, they go down, he buggers off on a free and comes to us in the summer. We're essentially loaning him to QPR for a few months. [/wishfulthinking]

Stevie is a one-man dispute. The way he carries on sometimes is simply embarrassing. When fans of another club come on here, the first moment anyone says anything that could remotely be construed as anti-NUFC, he's frothing at the mouth, ranting about attendance figures, hamming up his online Geordie accent ye knaaaaaaaaaaa and you just want to gouge your eyes out. He'd start a fight in an empty room - Ant just happens to be the target of his vitriol because he's on a Leazes kick at the moment, which says it all about him really. p.s. when my students racially abuse someone, they get sent to the time-out room, which is pretty much what's happening to Stevie. Similar mental age, I should think.

Stevie absolutely isn't a racist, but everything he says to Ant has to involve him being Irish at one point or another. Coincidence?

Nee mention of yours truly either. People from the far corners of the world, like America, Australia, and Cleethorpes, don't even merit a mention apparently. What a snobby, perpetual board. /topself.

Like a new signing, no need for more spending in January. Sorted.

I'd rather not hear about your fantasies if it's all the same.

And I think that transferred to the players. Many of the same players who played against Man U and Arsenal were out there today and the contrast in their performances is obvious. Pardew didn't give a shit about this match and as a result neither did the players.

It's only two hours out of my life that Pardew and the set of bottle-less wankers on the pitch have stolen, but what about the thousands of pounds and hundreds of hours wasted by our travelling fans on this farce of a match? Fuck off, the lot of them.

I'd bring on Campbell, we know Ranger is confirmed shit, we'd get an unknown quantity and a kid who might have the drive to succeed in this game. PPE: Marveaux on for Obertan.

During one of his several rolls, you could clearly see Brighton's player looking at the ref expectantly, no pain whatsoever on his face.

We're going to get hammered.

I don't attach a particularly high value to an FA cup run considering the situation we're in, but I don't want to go out to these bastards two years running, so I hope we do enough to beat them.

He also reckoned a lot of defenders "respected the pairing" of Cisse and Ba. What a load of rubbish, they hardly looked like they knew each other when they played up front together. Plank of the highest order.

He'll be moving on soon from Chelsea as well. Each move brings another hefty signing-on fee and plenty of agent's fees for his pack of agents, who have a vested interest in seeing him secure as many moves as possible. It was always going to happen. Thanks for the goals Ba, I hope you're a monumental failure at Chelsea though.

Gooser whinging about Anichebe in this thread but look who we have to bring on - Sammy Ameobi and Nile fucking Ranger.

We're chasing the game and only have Sammy to bring on. Need investment in this squad, have needed it for years.
