Agree with this post if you want pardew to be sacked this summer, disagree if you want pardew to stay.

Ed, Why did you post it on banter, and why are the agree and disagree buttons gone?

The agree & disagree buttons have been taken away for some odd reason.

Not sure why, the banter pages look terrible with these horrid lines under each post.

Totally agree get the agree / disagree back. pardew out now don't wait.

Pardew out now? don't wait? Who on earth would we replace him with with only 5 games left? Are you insane? Now would be the worst time to do it. However, in the summer I would like David Moyes or Roberto Martinez. Sadly that will not happen.

Geordie Al

Are you kidding, who could replace him. King Al, true geordie boy, he would make us a great club again.

I am Big Al's biggest fan and even have a Shearer shrine in my house but, really! The man that benched Collo and Nolan when we coudl not keep a clean sheet or score goals or had any fighting spirit and wanted rid of both if he had been appointed full time, the man that wanted to buy Ched Evans to lead our attack, the man that wanted £20+ million to spend to bring us back up, the man who brought in Iain Dowie as his number 2 for his experience yet whose only experience of Premiership management was to take Palace and effectively Charlton down and guess what we went down. A true Geordie and a local hero he is but he had the time and players to keep us up but fluffed his chance so what makes you think he would be any better now? Because he has spent time coaching players or managing elsewhere and getting better. no he has just taken the easy option and sat in a studio crticising while picking up the money without any pressure so how does this qualify him to save us? If you want a club legend and true Geordie to take over then it has to be one with a good track record, who has learnt his trade and has experience. Lee Clark.

Ryan Taylor out for the rest of the season and potentially all of next season after injuring his knee again. Gutted about this as he's a useful player and handy to have on the bench.

a bit of banter I read on a sunderland site the other day lads. what is your opinion, the lad was asking how he could get a bet on rafa benitez being your manager next year he alleges his girlfriends father works at sjp. would you welcome that appointment or are you happy with pardew.

Would never happen but would take benitez

I'd love us to replace Pardew at the end of the season, however Rafa wouldn't be top of my list but would be an improvement of Pardew.

If he came do you think he'd bring Torres. he doesn't seem to be able to play for any other manager

We need to stop flirting with this 433 formation. We are too open and players just break us down. I was at both games last week - Benfica and Sunderland - and both games we never had anyone in the middle of the park!

We need to play 4231 so that we always have bodies in the middle of the park. i'd like to see:

KRUL

Debuchy STaylor Mbiwa Santon
Tiote Sissoko
Ben Arfa Cabaye Marveaux
Cisse

Cabaye and Sissoke need to swap roles as Sissoko is more of a Yaya Toure kind of player and Cabaye always performs stronger when he is in an attacking position. If tiote goes in the summer then Cabaye can drop back and Gouffran comes in just behind Cisse.

We've been playing 4-2-3-1 nearly every game? it doesn't work

Agree cabaye is being played too deep, and sissoko and tiote I think would perform well together.

We have been playing 4-2-3-1

We have not played 4-3-3 in months.

The banter pages like nasty with these lines under each post.

If we are playing 4231 then why have we no one in the middle of the park? Our midfield is alwasy empty and the other teams just come straight through the middle at us.
