Ed Balls also has the ability to stick around like a foul smell long after his time has run out and he's become a public joke.

I was in the 'Pardew In' camp, but after today I reluctantly think it's time to go. People focus on the lack of clean sheets, but for me it's not closing out the last 3 games thus costing us 5 points that's more crucial.

If anything keeps him in the job for another week or two is that I don't think he's lost the players, as they keep fighting back, only to then blow it again. If he'd lost them, we wouldn't see that fight week in, week out having invariably gone behind.

However, if he is now to lose his job, it's because he has now definitely lost the support of the majority of fans, and I think against Southampton it will be very vocal for the first time, particularly if we go behind. Parish acted when Warnock lost the fans, and might do again when he hears it firsthand.
