The managerial position is very close to being irrlelevant at NUFC as long as Mike Ashley owns the club. He's not going to appoint a young up and comer, or an experienced older hand as long as Pardew is treading water in mid table. Most debate on this point is utterly pointless iyam, I cant decide whether to laugh or cry when I peruse the lunatic asylum formerly known as Newcastle Online re this subject, they know the truth about the situation but appear to apportion more blame to Pardew that our season being over before the second week in Janaury than Ashley. Theres no equality here, Pardew carries out Ashleys wishes with barely a murmur in the full knowledge that being a mealy mouthed patsy is the height of his managerial career.

The Honda's like a CB 750 my brother used to have..

I've done it, some of the questions are a bit err "out there"... I dont go to football to releive stress, its Newcastle United for fucks sakes

Wasnt Jim Broadbent the tapeworm?...

It's the assumption from Tyler and Neville that at 2-1 the game was all wrapped up for Manu that makes me laugh

Thought it was an eccentric looking slightly elderly lady chatting to bacon face there....turns out it was Mick Hucknall

Lacks a bit of pace for the top level of this division iyam but yeah on loan would've been a good signing, a Fritz with a point to prove can only be a good thing.

CT did you pay it yourself?...that should normally inform most of your own domestic decisons iyam...

Gale "got to be stronger than that Sammy Ameobi"....whilst Ivanovich basically clothelined him in the back

Though tbf he was getting compared with Pingel and Macdonald ® last week...

Aye, which fuckin one though?

Swansea v Cardiff @ 1730 on a Saturday evening. How the fuck have the police allowed that?....or is it a nationwide change of policy after 25 years of changing kick offs "for safety reasons"?....

I actually don't think they'll go down but I think they'd still see this season as a rip roaring success if they do

Tiote is injured ya freekin dipstick

Abysmal decision to sub him last week. Abysmal corner. Abysmal owner....

What used to be called Greater London isn't a tax haven, but the City is. If some of the top earners weren't all hiding their millions in the Cayman Islands then perhaps the nurses and teachers would be paid better too. It's all about power, those in the city have and so do the tube drivers. But only the tube drivers are properly criticised for exercising it. That's the point of the article.

Hazard is world class, Santon is being played out of position....

Is Terry injured?.....ultimate backhanded disrespect from Mourinho by playing Luiz at CB

You've just proved the point that Brian Reade is trying to make in this piece tbh. Grossly overpaid for what they do?...anyone else in that little box you've made for them?... And how does a tube strike cost the country billions?...it'll cost the tax haven know as "THE CITY OF LONDON" a fair bit, I'll grant you...

I fuckin love Bob Crow me like.... Maybe Michael Gove is right about decades of trendy teaching reducing our brains to the size of a gnat’s. Because I’m unable to understand basic English. Why is hitting the rich with a 50p tax called “the politics of envy” while hitting the poor with a bedroom tax is deemed “a necessary re-adjustment of the economy?” Why are young men in baseball caps who peddle stolen cigarettes in pubs called “thieves” and prosecuted, yet young men in suits who flogged bent PPI plans are called “mis-sellers” and let off? And how come, when a CEO safeguards the security and wealth of the people they represent, do we call them titans of industry? Yet when Bob Crow does it he’s called the sperm of Satan. I long ago concluded that if Crow ran the disgraced, tax-payer owned RBS the way he runs the RMT, he’d be on a national treasure pedestal alongside that other Eastender David Beckham. Because, like Goldenballs, he is a genius at promoting his brand and protecting his clan. Although such is the right-wing demonising of trade union leaders, sorry dinosaur militants, you’d be forgiven for viewing Crow as nothing more than a fat, yobbish enemy of the people. Take the London Underground strike . Boris Johnson wants to close every ticket office despite pledging, when standing for mayor, that there would be “nil” closures. Crow understandably opposes 750 redundancies and wants to negotiate with Johnson. But Johnson won’t negotiate with him. In fact, for five years he’s refused to sit down with him. Instead he chooses to paint him as a red wrecker opposed to inevitable “modernisation”, and labels the strike immoral because only 40% of RMT members voted. Johnson was last elected mayor on a 38% turnout. As Tube drivers who next year will be on £52k salaries can testify, Crow is brilliant at what he is paid to do. Purely but legally acting in his members’ interests. Just as every FTSE boss acts in the interests of their shareholders. And contrary to right-wing media reports, many Tube-users back Bob Crow. Channel 4 News asked four women commuters about the strike earlier this week . One said good luck to them for trying to save their jobs, another said she wanted ticket offices open because she felt safer with staff on duty. Another said Crow was wrong, while the fourth, who was shown a photo of him on a Brazilian beach, slagged off the newspaper for attacking a man for going on holiday. Which hits at the heart of Crow’s crime – being a working-class man who has the audacity to earn £145,000 a year and drink pina coladas on a £7,700 foreign cruise. Even though he booked it last March through a reader’s offer in the same paper that demonises him for being a Marxist hypocrite. While the real hypocrite is Boris “nil closures” Johnson. I hope Crow carries on doing what he’s paid to do. With one slight change. Next year, instead of taking his missus on a cruise, he goes cruising on his own around Hampstead Heath. Thus making Tory heads implode with such rage that cranial surgery is required. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/bob-crow-not-real-hyprocrite-3123297#ixzz2sjYdakmm Follow us: @DailyMirror on Twitter | DailyMirror on Facebook http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/bob-crow-not-real-hyprocrite-3123297#ixzz2sjYVcAlt Follow us: @DailyMirror on Twitter | DailyMirror on Facebook
