Newcastle 2014-15 - Adieu Pardew!

[Infield Infidel]

Ha. Ashley told a reporter outside a bar. “If we lose on Monday, Pardew is gone. I’ve had enough. He’s dead, finished.”
 
then the team's lawyers and Pardew said he was joking.

Listless. 

 

[mascho]

We have a new leader in the clubhouse.
 

 

[pockmeister]

Aaaaaand Pardew is.....
 
SAFE
 
For now.  Our long national nightmare continues.

At least those crazy kids are talking. 
 
All the problems will be solved, just so long as Mike and Alan have a good chat.

Only if there are weapons around and they end up killing each other.

 

[soxfan121]

Pardew's PC yesterday was just so funny-sad. 
 
It might be less cruel to just fire him. Into space. 
 
Twisting in the wind...is that an expression in England?

 

[JayMags71]

"Dreaded 'vote of confidence'" is the phrase the Guardian podcast uses, and it seems apt here.

 

[Infield Infidel]

Eight Seven matches in, Newcastle has yet to score first in a match this season. 

 

[Stanley Steamer]

Come-from-behind-twice-battling-draw against Swansea. Pardew in?

Another week, another tremendous photo:

"Not a Welsh Town" love the creativity

 

[Joe D Reid]

It's nice to see Papis back in imperious death-god mode. We're back to playing traditional Newcastle football, which is to say we're playing hard, fun, dumb, and not quite successfully enough. But that's better than the first few games.

 

[Infield Infidel]

They won, and Obertan scored. I'm very, very wary of being struck by lightning

 

[Infield Infidel]

Glad to see the young guys getting it done. Also, Cabella put in a good shift, he was everywhere, and outheading taller players toward the end. 

 

[Infield Infidel]

And Ashley loaned Rangers 2 million pounds, and he and his allies on the board at Rangers are aiming for majority control. He's at 8.29 percent, if he passes 10% he has to sell Newcastle, but even if he doesn't Newcastle will probably be sold eventually. 

 

[Blundatola]

So that just happened!

 

[Joe D Reid]

Spurs in the quarters, which . . . I mean, it went OK the last time. Still would have preferred Bournemouth.

 

[Infield Infidel]

Highlights. http://hoofoot.com/?match=Manchester_City_0_-_2_Newcastle_United_2014_10_29
 
the second goal is pretty awesome, but even better, after the goal, the entire bench leaves Pardew hanging

 

[Joe D Reid]

I love to kvetch, but wins at Spurs, at City, and vs Liverpool is a great week by absolutely any measure. Howay.

 

[Infield Infidel]

Jonas is cancer free, and even before that announcement, ran a marathon last month.

[mascho]

Currently up to seventh with today's win. Won't last as other clubs play later, but they are back in the top half.

And Perez looks like a quality player.

 

[soxfan121]

I was told there would be losing and pathetic displays. 
 
This is not what I was sold.

Don't worry dude, once they are safe in the league and out of the cups they'll start selling in the jan window and the team will get depressed and swoon into the end of the year. It'll be plenty depressing.

So this is the build up to the nut punch? 
 
Good show.

 

[mascho]

Winter is most definitely coming.
 
(In the form of the January transfer window).

 

[soxfan121]

Seriously. I was told there would be losing.

 

[Infield Infidel]

Pretty crazy that this team is in 5th place with with a -1 GD
 
Ryan Taylor was injured in his first start in 32 months. It was pretty sad seeing him walk off the field
 
other news: Jonas Gutierrez will be back with the club next month, amazing
 
Peter Lovenkrands, who played two stints with NUFC, retired
 
Peter Lovenkrands

Gave him the sack
Then we took him back

Tiote behind the wheel as an open bottle of bubbly gets passed around the vehicle...and he's wearing a LeBron Heat jersey.

 

[Zomp]

Great win, Seven!

 

[Vinho Tinto]

I really thought Chelsea was going to go undefeated. Once again, Jose proves me wrong.

 

[Joe D Reid]

DONT PALNWICK

 

[Conigliaro's Potential]

Apparently an Arsenal fan phoned into 6-0-6 (BBC radio's main sports talk show) the other week and suggested Wenger should be sacked and replaced by Pardew.

 

[soxfan121]

AGAIN, I was told there would be more losing. 
 
Suck it Seven. You choose the wrong horse, pal.

 

[Dummy Hoy]

Wait...did Seven actually make the switch?

 

[Seven Costanza]

Great win, Seven!

 
I'M SO CONFUSED.
 
Newcastle has been Chelsea's kryptonite for the last couple of seasons.  I was going to be happy however the game went, so it's all good. 

 

[Joe D Reid]

Just looking over the holiday schedule--Newcastle face this through New Year's:
 
@Arsenal, @Tottenham (League Cup), Sunderland (who stink, but still, derby game), @Man U, Everton
 
So if the crash is coming, this is where it's going to happen. 

 

[Blundatola]

I really hope they beat Tottenham above all else, though a derby win would be a nice change of pace!

 

[mascho]

Throws all the things...

 

[mascho]

And now I have nothing left to throw.

You might want to mark Giroud in the box you clown sticks....

 

[mascho]

If I ever come across Wenger in the street I'm hitting him in the face with a shovel. His face is quite shovel-worthy.

Obligatory Tiote yellow card? Check.

 

[mascho]

So that happened

 

[mascho]

I think Janmaat just dropped The People's Elbow on someone...

 

[Luis Taint]

Tiote is a bitch

 

[mascho]

Someone check on that steward. I think he's dead.

 

[mascho]

Cabella makes me long for Ben Arfa...

 

[mascho]

It's gonna really piss me off when they sell Perez to Man U

 

[mascho]

Obligatory Tiote shot into the 20th row? Cheick

 

[mascho]

Obligatory penalty? Check

I think we've covered all the bases here folks

 

[soxfan121]

This was what I was told to expect.
