With, Ben Arfa, Marv, Cabaye, Cisse, Mbwia, Santon, Debuccy, Goufran, Tiote all we need is a positive manager and a couple of good signings, a commanding centre half and a striker. Pardew is too negative with the quality he has at his disposal. WHY does he worry about opposition so much, especially at home? ONE up front? Cisse needs a partner and the Toon need the ball played along the floor for our footballers. Not hoofing it 60 yards over the heads and into opposition hands every time. Ashley is a businessman and succesful as that so surely he can see that a succesful Newcastle United playing attractive football can only get his cash register ringing. Invest a bit of cash and appoint the right manager and maybe our long wait for a piece of silverware will arrive before I meet my maker. Is that too much for a supporter of 45 yrs to ask Mr. Ashley?

Im of a similar age and couldn't agree with you more, two things more need width 2wingers/forwards so we are playing 433 instead of 451. and most importantly get rid of the person in charge PARDEW OUT.

Some of those players mentioned have been playing in a back four which looks likely to concede around 70 league goals in a season how can you say these are good signings. cabaye stand out head and shoulders above anyone else this season and although cisse gets a lot of stick if it wasn't for his late goals god only knows what league Newcastle would be playing in next season

Systems don't really make too much dif really. The most important thing is that we attack and defend as a TEAM. Too often we have been lost possession cheaply through shabby passing and have been caught with too many players out of position. Players have to concentrate and think about their positioning more.

Yes we had a pretty bad season but saying we need a complete overhaul is just plain daft, unfortunaly this is just your typical fickle fans saying this, this is what happens when we massively over-achieve last year, we won't be in the bottom half next season and I am positive we can challenge for a CL place next season, Pardew is the right man and Ashley is actually managing the club pretty well tbh

I think our form is a combination of bad luck, too many players coming in january thus a lack of understanding in tactics and formations, europa league and a couple of players not playing as good as last year

I can see a few fringe players leaving, colo is going back to argentina is defo one, not sure bout rest depends on value of the players ie Cabaye, only way he leaving if we get a bid of 25m + which is unlikely

P. S Bring back Andy Carroll

Yippee can't wait! Bring back Carroll and keep Pardew and we'll play even more hoofball than we already do.
Why don't we keep Simpson play him ahead of Debuchy, Williamson ahead of Yanga Mbiwa and play Ameobi alongside Carroll?

Give your head a shake cl place next season what makes you think your even going to be in the top half, you are where you are because your team is crap totally deluded.

Yep and your team is above us on goal difference so equally crap?

The squad on the whole is very good. To say CL is a bit optimistic though. Simple fact is Pardew has to go. He doesn't have the ability to manage the squad we have which is clear when he insist on playing Jonas and playing others out of position. A clear out of the deadwood and a couple of good signings is what we need. Saying that we still ain't safe so I would wait out to find out what league we are in next season.

I think I disagree with every point made by the first poster. Keep Pardew? CL challenge? its because of fans like you the rest of us get called deluded. Also I've been more impressed with Simpson recently than debuchy

I sort of agree with original poster, it's probs not his fault for the team playing too much hoof ball. its not like a computer game where pardew tells them what to do, although they have training sessions every day but Ba even came out and said the team works on possession in training. Its the team not playing up to their standards and they're not communicating enough. watch pardew on the touchline most games and you'll understand what I mean. If pardew can get us 5th last season then he can do it next season. Alright yes CL is a bit optimistic but europa league is our real target and should be every season.

We just need a whole massive clearout of fringe and under performing players (ameobi, willo, simmo, harper, jonas, obertan, gosling, amalfitano)

Ashley will give pardew the money to actually follow pardew's original plan he'll make, as he had to tear it up at the start of this season because he wasn't given the players he wanted.

Our squad is top 8 quality no doubt, its simply the players not performing and communicating that is putting out bad performances.

Pardew was not backed by the board this season, got unlucky with injuries and had europa league to deal with, got us to 5th last season so he deserves one more chance to revive us next season and get us fighting for europa league again.

How can knuckle head say we are a top 8 team! look at the table we are third top if you turn it upside down

A few fringe players going?
You are living in dream land.
If Ashley gets rid of Pardew a new manager may get a lot more out of the present squad.
There is no smoke without a fire usually, and there are a number of sources saying that there is trouble in camp. These players who are not getting on are going to have to be split up and that means transferred. These are not fringe players.

His head is up his a**e.

One reply lol top 8 side what a laugh no wonder everton fans are laughing their tits off at pardew was going to say no wonder people call Newcastle fans the deluded ones but I see there are a few sensible replies amongst them.

Jeez have you become obsessed with newcastle again?

Yes I have mate I can't go on a site and have a laugh like I do on here. some of your predictions this season have been unbelievable. your transfer rumours wouldn't go a miss in the beano, you have a manager who should be on the comedians and to top it all your top 8 team have given me something to laugh about in the current economical climate it has given me great pleasure visiting your site. all the best for your last 2 games as I don't want to see you relegated as I will miss the fun I get from the deluded. a happy mackem

"Our squad is top 8"my god how daft can even a toon fan get, If you believe that then you are deluded beyond the point of no return. Is that why you are in this relegation battle, have lost half of your games, and won 1 away game this season.

Krul-Dutch international, wanted by barca as backup.
Debuchy-Regular starter for France
M'Biwa-Got him for a bargain, wanted by milan for 18m in the summer.
Santon-Being chased by milan great potential.
Cabaye-Don't need to say much, top quality midifielder being linked with arsenal, man united.
Tiote-Being linked with chelsea but out of form
Ben Arfa-Great talent, wonderful to watch now being wanted by liverpool and psg.
Sissoko-Another bargain, rated at 15m
Cisse-13 goals in 14 games in the prem shows he is a top quality player.

All these players are not performing up to their standards under pardew, on paper our squad is better than everton and don't try and argue because its the table that's decieving you.

Its pardew not managing the team right. The stature that this club is and how fantastic, passionate and loyal the fans are we should be targeting at least top 10. champions league probably too high but top 7 is what this club deserves.

Nearly 70 goals conceded in a season I can see clubs queuing up to buy some of your defenders NOT

I think we just need to beat qpr now then it won't matter if we lose to arsenal just not by a massive margin. Then we'll be six points clear of wigan. Although wigan could win their last two games. As they beat arsenal last year, but sunderland, norwich are in just as much trouble as we're in. Southampton will want to make sure they're safe, and they've been playing some great football and could easily tear them apart 3-1 or something and they'll lose to spurs. Norwich may beat or draw Wba but lose to man city. My prediction:
Newcastle 41pts
Sunderland 39pts
Norwich 39pts
Wigan 38pts

Geordie Moses

Of course Geordie, you will get the most points out of the bottom teams, goes without saying.

This a very positive fan or he's just being biased

Aha, if your not positive then you don't win games.

But your a fan not a player so what does it matter wether your positive or not nufc are going down

Moses say no more typical Geordie deluded till the end. if Norwich get a draw on sunday along with Newcastle and sunderland then wigan go to arsenal and get a draw out of the 4 I would rather be in sunderlands position if we all get beat on sunday and wigan lose I would rather be in sunderlands position unless by some mishap we go to spurs and get beat 12 nil you want to hope that you are guaranteed safety before the arsenal game as it could all come down to goal difference which with my maths makes sunderlands feel like an extra point.

Ok then if every single fan was negative and didn't get behind the team where would be? No where near the prem.
