Can anyone recall a game where the team have played well for the whole 90 mins whilst pardew has been in charge? (Apart from Man U home last season).
Ask yourself honestly and the answer says it all.

need i go on

The club is still moving forward, why jump on pardews back when he wasn't given the money for any strength in depth with all the extra games in europe. You wouldnt have said this question last season when we finished 5th. I could ask you when has pardew had all of his best players to pick from this season?

Is Pardew not to blame for never having a full team to pick? Pre season was shocking and when players aren't fit they pick up injuries. How much did Cabeye and Ben Arfa play or train pre season?

I agree to a certain extent. Finishing 5th was a fantastic achievment however i think everything went well last season regards injuries and suspensions and i still believe we didnt play that well. Dare i say it we were a bit lucky at times (which i'l take). also, lets face it. the players that played this season are still pardew's players. whether they signed whilst he has been in charge or have been given new contracts. They are his players. He must rate them.
finally with regards to the results listed, i agree these were cracking results but still not great overall performances. Mackems away, great results but awful games. Swansea away, two shots two goals. need i go on.
Maybe his hands are tied from above but who's fault is that

Whether Pardew is to blame or Ashley and the board. The one thing that appeared obvious to me was the lack of desire during the summer transfer window. Having had such a brilliant season and qualifying for europe the one blatantly obvious thing was that the squad needed strengthening.We were destined to be playing possibly 50+ games pending on cup runs. So what do we do... we bring in just 1 player likely to get in to the first team squad..... Then bare in mind we let Guthrie go it was literally 1 in 1 out...same size squad...2 in if you include Bigiriana who was never expected to fit straight in to the squad but has had to.... So simply such a school boy error in the summer by such a bunch of amateurs deserves the contempt it deserves...... Ashley you have a lot to learn and I fear you never will. A football club in the premiership will never be a money making investment. He has sacrificed profit over success and is now seeing the consequnces.....

I will be honest and thought we were terrible last season, I have actually seen better signs going forward from the team this season but it takes time to switch from longball to holding the ball and getting higher up the pitch.

I have no idea how we got 5th last season, I think there may have only been 3 or 4 games the whole of last season where we shaded possession, somehow last season teams were all over us, it was a combination of a very good defence and nabbing sneaky goals.

Moving forward? 5th top last season 5th bottom this season thats what i call getting better sort yaself out lad give yourself a shake

To be fair, seems as if last season might have been off the back of the team spirt which houghton had built. First premiership which him in charge we scored 6 twice and 5 twice.... Think we have only managed 4 goals most under pardew... Twice. Still saying it. Should never have sacked hughton

Im not saying he should but the last few games have been becuase of his tatics and subs

He played cisse on the right against everton just to save face, he didnt want to look like he was playing him out of position to suit ba then comes out the next day and says he will play through the middle, arsenal 4-3 takes off a central midfeilder for shola and we get beat 7-3, brighton take off a centreback and central midfeilder and reshuffle the whole back four

The fact is we havent got good quality but the manager should At least have them playing the right way you cant expect obertan, shola or marveaux to suddenly become world class players

Lowick mag

you can only beat the teams in front of you.. if our 1-0 win at makems was a terrible game it obviously means both teams were, however i think we played very well. you dont have to win 5-0 with 80% possession for it to be a Man utd type result.. if you rewatch the man u game we have 3 shots and scored 3.. krul made 4 great saves, so wheres ya logic

To be fair I was never suggesting that we should win every game 5-0. My point was that it seems few and far between where we can say every player deserved their wages or performed to their capabilities for the whole 90 mins. Man U we definitely could say that. All I ask is for every Nufc to give 100 percent for the shirt. We certainly can't say they are just now.
I really hope we turn it around. We are all in this together. Including pardew and his squad.

newcastle in need of atleast 3 players this transfer window, remy will join QPR (moneygrabber), newcastle have already started to tern attention to aubamayeng who has be impressive for saint ettiene. he has the pace and trickery needed by newcastle. another signing will be lukoki of ajax a winger pacey, like obertan but can actually kick a football and not the alien head. The final signing is a centre back which first option is tomkins but we wont offer west hams valuation 12mill whereas ours is 6mill so noo chance. Jores Okore will be our new centre back is big strong good on the ball and young, his valuation is around 4mill and he has already had 3 denmark caps at the age of 20.

Well said demba toon are a small club thanks 2 fatty toon the only premier club out of cup!!sack pardew

Not being funny but Demba and Fergie must be wrong in the head calling newcastle a small club. Not be funny but how many clubs are jealous of are stadium/fans... everyone in the league. fergie is just jealous coz utd fans only cheer when they are winning. And demba has moved to a club with the worse fans in the league and a worse stadium............

Ba's just trying to hide the fact that he's a greedy (insert insult of choice here) and Fergie's just come out and said that he was talking about the number of trophies we've won because nobody who isn't a man u fan took his side when he made the initial statement

Demba ba is not his own man. he has people who trade him around, town to town, bet hes never been in his own home (clubs rented accom) a clubs rented car to drive around the toon with. tell you what demba what happens if your right knee gives way! chealsea going to look after you! Dont think so! look how they are treating there boy frank lampard and look what hes done for them! as apposed to if you had stayed and signed a contract witth newcastle the wee club up north and knocked in a few goals we would have looked after you for ever (ask Alan Shearer, Petro, Rob Lee etc even Sir Les) end of the day your just seen as a greedy bastrad.

I hate people calling Ba greedy, not going to lie but who in there right mind would reject a wage double his current salary. if you were offered the chance to earn double for doing the same job, prob an easier one would u turn it down.
Also if Ba wasn't greedy he wouldn't have joined us and left WHU with nothing for there investment. Ba is a mercenary, personally i think he done great for toon especially as we got him on a free so i cant be angry. I will still boo him when he comes back to st, james park but he was a great player for us.

Solamon kalou is available for as little as 2.8million? I think would be a decent back up to say the least, and has premeier league experience.

He'll be going to the AFCON with Ivory Coast so no thanks.

Shola sent off, we've lost. Should of put a bet that Brighton were gonna win this. We've been simply outclassed by a championship side. I feel sorry for every geordie who made that trip. All that money spent and that 7 hour journey, and what do you get? Crap football and being embarrased by a championship team. Disgraceful. Pardew can't give a team talk. Hes not a man manager. A dissapointing season and I've already said this but I'm gonna say it again. Even with about 4 signings I can't see us climbing back up the table. To say our squad is stretched is an understatement. Prove me wrong Alan.

The way we're playing we'll struggle to convince any other potential signings to join us, even Debuchy said he took some convincing so who knows how we'll convince anyone else

They should be ashamed of that performance. They do not deserve to wear the Newcastle shirt

8 year deal for pardew, too funny haha

Get a grip that wasnt even a 2nd team . be concerned when we lose without 10 first teamers out

So losing to brighton who are in the second tear down is okay for you??

The average age of the team that finished that game was 22. That's considering Williamson is 28, Marveaux is 25 and Elliot is 26. Excluding those the average age was 20.5
That wasn't even a second string side today. We have 9 first team instant starters out, once we have them back and a signing or two. We'll climb back.
Mashley has let Pardew down on an astronimic scale with the lack of investment in the summer. Anyone calling for his head is a moron. Look at Moyes' reign at Everton, 1st season finished top ten, next season 17th.
Last 3 seasons 8th, 8th, 7th.
Stability is the making of clubs, and I for one am glad that we're trying to do that. Albeit without the backing of the owner.

Original poster, get a grip. Your no world beaters so why on 2 occasions have you patronised Championship teams? You seem to think that you are far superior and simply turning up would be enough.... Reality check for all barcodes... you're not very good and recent results prove me right. One swallow doesn't make a summer boys but I doubt you've even get that! haha

The person above is right, no point in sacking Pardew. Like with a full fit squad we are a top 8 team for me and pushing for the top 6, along with the Merseyside teams.
Tavenier, Dumment, Bigi, Sammy, Ranger are 21 or less. We bring in Remy and a very good centre back we will be in the top 10. I only see the top 8 at the minute and possibly Stoke and Swansea beating us. Like we have the players

Who is bothered about Everton? toon 5th last season this season relegation great eh!!

Honestly think we will go down then go away, fake fans, we are better than the 5 teams we are above, better than Norwich, Sunderland and West Ham for sure. We should be better than Stoke, Swansea, West Brom and Fulham

Thats ye problem mate you actually do think you have a good team come into the real world mediocre at best its a good job for qpr reading and southampton or you would be down along with 2 from villa sunderland and wigan

Wait til cabaye, taylor and ben arfa are back that'll help us

How can u say were better than the mackems, stoke, west ham, west brom, norwich? look at the tables they dont lie sort yaself out kidda

The season is not even finish, I think Brad Johnson would be the only one from Norwich that would get into our team. West Brom I think Long Olsson and Morrison would be the only ones to get into our team. Stoke Shawcross and Begovic. Sunderland, Fletcher, Johnston and possibly Larsson. Then West Ham Diame, Jarvis and possibly Tomkins.
I didn't say Liverpool were worse, I said we should be challenging with them. As with Everton and maybe in 2 or season we could be as good as Arsenal who will only go downhill.

Wakey wakey, time to get up, you have been dreaming again, (come on pal give yersel a shake man, you will be challenging Villa for 4th bottom nothing else.

Yes players comming back will help us, but the problem is they have been out for months, and if they come back now it will still take weeks before they are up to speed ! We have not got that time ! If squad had been stronger we would have eased them back properly, rush them in starting line up we will risk other injuries . It's a right mess at mo .

I understand that NUFC have put a £4.5 million bid in for Tom Ince

Won't leave for less than 6m

Liverpool had a 5 million bid rejected so that's rubbish
