He's given the ball away more times this game than he did the whole of the last season.

Is like there just 11 individuals on the pitch no cohesion at all. If QPR are relegation fodder what does that make us?

I am glad I am not the only one seeing it. Rayor is getting ripped apart. How can Pardew not see it???????

In a word? No !

No pressure then..

What next? Turn the stand into one of his gastly stores?

What qualifies you to be the MD of Newcastle United?

Not the most skillful lad but always gives it 100%. That's all you can ask of the lad. And in fairness he's done ok. Would play his over Shola any day of the week.

I think no, this pic is from 96 and it's not there. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bulgaria...a_Euro_96_A.jpg How empty is that stadium.

I see no difference in Ashley lending the money or a bank lending the money other than it being interest free. At the end of the day the clubs still owes money be it to Ashley or the bank. That debt is on the club regardless. Its at the same sitation with Chelsea. The club owes Abramoivch £739.5 Mil and should he wish for the money to be paid back the club would only have 18 months with which to do it. Scary thought. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/...and-rising.html

Not sussed out Ba yet - still not convinced by him. Bar his deflected shot on Sunday I am yet to see him hit the target nevermind score a goal.

I don't blame Pardew one bit to be honest. I truly believe he thought he'd get the money to spend and recon he's been sticked up like the rest of us.

We haven't started well - results have just gone our way. Arsenal were a mess, so we got lucky there. Sunderland and Fulham had enough chances to bury us. We got these points thanks to our defence and Krul. Going forward we've been dire - we still lack a creative midfielder and a couple (not one) quality strikers - at the very least.

That I agree with. All the steel that got us back up last time is now out the door.

Do you think Ashley just thinks of ways he can upset the fans?

QPR's former Newcastle midfielder Joey Barton on Twitter: "Nice to see Mike Ashley and Derek Llambias come through with their promise to reinvest Andy Carroll money, £59m net profit from transfers in last 5 seasons... ambition???"

From BBC: How low must have our offer been for Fulham to beat it? Just says it all really. Was all just for show.

Nearly one year on and nothing has changed...

Lovenkrands is getting into the starting team - that alone tells you our first choice eleven is not good enough.

I would have settled for Bendtner over nothing - he's better than what we've got.

You're dreaming. Goals are the ONLY thing that keeps you in this league hence why most clubs spend the most of strikers. And we spent nought.

Difficult to see where the goals are going to come. People forget we were close to being dragged into it last season, what saved us was our early form with Carroll in the side. So yeah - it is a concern. Whilst we've had some decent results of late I don't think we've played well.

To think if we'd just signed a quality striker we could have had a decent season. As it stands we're going struggle for goals.

What's REALLY depressing me is thought of still seeing Lovenkrands name on the team sheet.

Lets pray Ben Arfa comes back to his best as we're really going to need him.
