You know what I saw today?  Actual industry and commitment to the shirt. 
 
All I ask for as a fan.

He nutted Meyler by the looks of it. Or tried at least. Given his priors in that department he's going to be spending the next few weeks in the stands, I'd have thought.

Know what that means?

The Vince McMahon rumors must be true. Pardew already trying to please his future boss.

If there's any kind of suspension, I wonder if Ashley uses it to to try to get out from under Pardew's crazy contract.
 
If Ashley's as good a businessman (non-football) that I think he is, then he'll already have his lawyers on the case looking to see if it's an opportunity to fire him.

Isnt this a bit much ado about nothing? The presenters are calling it a headbat, but its not really.

" I tried to push him away with my head"
 
Yeah, I guess we all forget we have hands occasionally.
 
It's a pity Meyler did not go down screaming like Nancy Kerrigan....that would have been a highlight.
 
I think it's pretty much an all time low for a manager in the EPL, totally unprecedented, headbutting...attempting to headbutt , call it what you will. The guy should be banned for the rest of the season....
 
If Ashley had any sense he should look at the ridiculous contract Pardew is under and find a termination clause for bringing the game into disrepute/gross misconduct. The guy is a twat.

7 match ban.  First 3 banned from stadium entirely, last 4 just a touchline ban.
 
Also fined 60k pounds.

I don't believe, what I just saw.
 
Cisse converts in the 94th minute.
 
EDIT:  Someone at NBC Sports can't tell their Muslim strikers apart:  According their scroll at the bottom of my NBCSportsLive feed, "Demba Cissé" scored.
 
EDIT2:  And there's this:  
 
@nufcfans  38s
Palace are absolutely livid here. They wanted a penalty, #NUFC counter and win it in the 4th minute of ET, when only 3 were signalled.

His name's  Papiss Demba Cissé isn't it?

Fantastic week, lads. On the bright side, my weekends now have some extra hours built in, since I won't be able to bring myself to watch this crap the rest of the season.

The term "on the beach" was invented for how Newcastle is playing right now.  Nothing to play for and making summer plans that don't include Brazil.  They really don't seem to give a shit.

Do people remember the scene in Varsity Blues, with the Coyote Fans counting wide receivers in disbelief?

That's me looking at this formation/line-up...

EDIT: From the Twitters:

“@fairless_9: Pardew is me on football manager when I go 1-0 down, panic and put all my strikers on the pitch #NUFC”

Amongst all these poor results, that was a pretty bad one. It really is a shame Pardew will get at least another year with the team, they deserve to be in the bottom half the way they've played.

On goal difference they are something like fifth from the bottom. This boring mid table finish is obscuring the fact that the team has been terrible since around the Cabaye sale. Next year is scary.
