Despite yet another inept performance we shouldn't be too critical of the players. Bear in mind that professional footballers have been greatly inconvenienced by the corvid virus. Some of them have even had to clean their own pools, do their own cooking and even comb their own hair. They have been forced to sit at home twiddling their thumbs while enduring many thousands and thousands of pounds being regularrily shovelled into their bank accounts without them doing anything to earn it. This must have been very embarrassing for them. It must have come as a nasty shock to find that they suddenly have to start working again for their money. To make it even worse they are now being forced to work at a time when they would normally be jetting off to exotic holiday destinations. It is small wonder that they are not motivated to try and get a win bonus when all the five star restaurants, night clubs, wine bars and casinos where they could spend the win bonus are still closed

Pardew received his marching orders after losing 8 of his previous 10 games with the side in 17th place after 17 games.The previous season, we finished 15th under him.
Since he has left we have finished 14th, 11th and 12th.

His name will be polished until it gleams like a brass knob.

In Pardew's first game in charge our starting line up was:

Speroni, Ward, Delaney, Dann, Kelly, Puncheon, Ledley, McArthur, Bannan, Gayle, and Murray. Our current squad is much better. We were in the relegation zone and looked hopeless. He did a fantastic job that season then took us to 7 minutes away from winning the FA Cup.

In the end he just got found out and was too slow to change the team.

I had a few friends involved at Newcastle. They all said he was a brilliant motivator. Shame about the tactics.

He can take credit for our highest premier league finish and second FA cup final.

I feel their is a double standard between Pardew/Hodgson.

You cannot be serious, he allowed Murray to leave! and I'd have all of those players back with us now, Pardew wanted to out score teams and that was that, it was a fun/ horror roller coaster for both sets of fans watching, under Hodgson we will always be safe in regards to position and the football on the pitch, it is up to the club to make decisions on where we go and with who at the end of next season when Hodgson steps down after another safe season, this is giving the club time to organise itself without the fear of relegation.

who allowed Murray to leave?

It would have been SP not Roy

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.
