I have to agree on the point of playing players out of position. I think pretty much all of us have been baffled as to why Pardew decided that playing Bolasie up front, a man who would struggle to hit a barn door from 5 yards away, was a good idea. Thankfully we won't have to worry about that happening again much longer.

We are definitely shi-ite now so let's party when we meet Bournemouth!

Actually, I do understand what you mean and agree with it. On the whole we are a pretty tolerant following but the current situation is becoming unsustainable.

I am very disappointed it's Pardew but can't disagree with anything that's been said about him at other clubs.

Is it time to act because of what we can all see happening on the pitch? As I've already said on another thread, I don't think he's the right man even if we brought in some new players to add quality to our squad.

Denial is not just a river in Egypt!

So, 18 months after your manager leaves you hunt down a palace website "in peace" to say I told you so, based on 1 game. Even the people in Geordie Shore had have the intellect to work out that's gloating.

We were 10 minutes away from winning the cup final and safe by Christmas last season. The dip in form was only attributed to a lack of a striker, injuries and the cup run.

In the past few years you've had the current England manager keep you up and Pardew but niether were good enough apparently.

Now you're in the Championship and have lost your first two games.

Pardew would have kept you up. Especially if he had the same amount of money as McLaren had.

It's people like you that have turned Newcastle toxic.

So you think he's doing a good job? Can you think of any other managers who've went 4 months without a win in recent times? You were in europe at xmas to almost relegated.

If you're happy with that then brilliant. You obviously have low ambition for your club

This with bells on.

"Look at that. Accident blackspot? These aren't accidents! They're throwing themselves into the road gladly! Throwing themselves into the road to escape all this hideousness!"

I agree with the Newcastle fan. Pardew is an average manager but a horrendous person. He has destroyed/in process of destroying lots of things we all love about our club. We're a team built on spirit and hard work. We are slowly watching that spirit erode and apathy seep in. The way heads went down after the goal at the weekend shows that. He has ruined the dressing room by treating players like Murray, Speroni and now Jedinak with complete contempt. It's all about him and his ego. I know this to be true from Charlton where I have a contact who said he was horrific to work with. Even the fans are bored and apathetic now. The atmosphere both home and away is apologetic now.

His tactics have been awful and player selection have been dire too. To have to make so many half time subs last year shows that he gets it wrong all the time.

You can all look back and say he did well for a year but he can't live on past glories. Unless we're doing as expected by the end of September (lower mid table mediocrity), he simply has to go otherwise we're down.
