Reading the Chronicle posts about fans comments on social media. A lot of positivity from fans about Carver being honest in his post match interview.
Well let's be honest. Carver is not up to the job. That was his team today. His choice to play Goufran (again). His choice to play Colback at left back and Jonas in central midfield. His tactics. His subs - I mean, Riviere, really. Armstrong - 5 minutes? His inability to get the team motivated and in the right mind set to take on our oldest rivals. His sheer lack of any ability, tactical nous, leadership or man management.
So please, do not praise the buffoon for his failings just because he admits to them and criticises the (his) team

Minority I think. Reading Twitter I think every fan has just about had enough.

I hope that game will finally give some fans to try and organize some protests, and to also maybe boycott the last few games

Not another protest :-) carver is a stop gap between the last man you drove out and the one you will drive out next.
Your loss is Palace's gain, surely its time to stop protesting and start backing your next manager who ever they are and no matter where their from beit north south east or west or even mars.

can we swap carver for we ger please?

:-) I think you'd have trouble swapping Carver for a pork chop or even Brendan Rodger's desree, but while your going backwards yet again Pardew carreer is very much on the up.
There has to come a time surely when you at least stop to consider " could the problem be us? And not all these managers.

These protests are against the main problem, Mike Ashley, Pardew was only part of the problem. Ashley has killed all the passion out of the club, and its time for the fans to make a stand, and get our club back.

JT I sympathize to some degree as Ashley is a business man not a Newcastle fan and that's never good.
But to go back to buying the likes of Michael Owen paying them mega money to play for England but not Newcastle days couldn't go on and there's no doubt a lot of star players saw your club as one last massive pay day when they couldn't get a better move.
If someone buys Ashley out it won't be a money no object billionaire it will be a steady progress man or woman that will take time to build anything sustainable and successful and that may mean you having to back a manager who has no former connection with the club and dare I say it even from the south of the country :-) could you handle backing a southner for 4 years if it ment success further down the line?

Pardew came to the Toon took over a good team got us to 5th, ruined the team and we went backwards. He has taken over at Palace a decent team left for him let's see how they do over the next couple of years before we over praise him (I will admit so far he is doing a great job)

Pardew has a track record of purple patches. And the majority of fans just want a modern day coach who can get the team to play decent football and get some belief in the team.

Non of us expect huge signings, we understand this is a business. if it is a sports business, then the regime have come out and said we aren't even trying to compete for silverware. If we are an entertainment business, well trade descriptions act should be enforced.

I don't think protests are the answers, boycott games, don't renew season tickets and stop buying shirts if you have had enough. If you still want to go to the games then that's cool too. But I agree, the protests never reflect well on the fans, especially when Pardew has hit a purple patch. And let's not forget, had the leadership at NUFC acted responsibly and hired interim managers we would not be in the mess we are in.

That's an excellent post desree, you can only have so many protests within a certain time scale and be taken seriously, its a case of
The Newcastle fans are holding a protest!
What about this week?

Disgrace, joke, embarrassing, these are understatements of what we are. BS that we're safe, we could very well get dragged into the relegation dogfight, and quite frankly, we deserve to go down. The most pathetic and disgusting performance I've ever seen. You'd have thought after 4 losses in a row to sunderland, the players would at least try and restore some pride, but no, they can't be bothered. I'd be more than happy to see every single player and member of staff stay in sunderland and never come back. Carver tactically outclassed once again, we got outplayed and outmuscled. Sunderland simply wanted it more, forget about jermain defoe's goal no matter how good it was, it made me sick to my stomach seeing Krul smiling and high fiving defoe at half time, sums up the whole commitment from the club really.

Every single person on this list needs to be sold or released one way or another in the summer:
John Carver, Steve Stone, Dave Watson, Andy Woodman
Krul, Elliot, Raylor, Williamson, Coloccini, Tiote, Jonas, Anita, Marveaux, Obertan, Ameobi, Ferguson, Ferreyra, Cisse, Gouffran.

But again, these problems all stem from the top, Mike Ashley has made us an embarrassment to football, the passion and pride that was once here, has been killed and sucked out of the club by him.

spot on JToon it was a disgrace, Carver has no idea how to play football, I can only think his plan was to defend defend and defend again and hope for a 0 0. If Carver gets the job I won't watch the Toon until he is gone
