Spurs Pile on the Pressure

With Pardews first game being played with raw passion for former manager Chris Houghton you could harldy say it was down to Pardew who got the points against a Liverpool team strugling with form this season. So a first game in charge against City we did play well but lost and conceded three goals so a Bad start for Pardew and an away fixture at the Lane was right up our ally or it was under Houghton. A resiliant display but in the end not resilient enough and pardew suffered his second defeat in as many matches. The game was sealed by in form Bale who had at one point tried to impress his girlfriend when going down like a dead man from a Barton challenge. The first goal however came from a player who rarely gets on the score sheet even though on sight of goal he never passes. Yes it was Lennon with his lovely eyebrows that match his lovely hair cut too. Just our luck to be done by a championship player when half of our squad are championship players themselves. Lovenkrands had a oppotunity to drag his sorry ass back into the fram but with a poor first touch hie ended up laying the ball off to Carroll and his chance went begging. Routledge must be looking for an exit from St James' Park as yet another inadequate display gave the host s nothing to think about. So two games into his charge for Europe Pardew finds himself with 0 Wins, 0 Draws and 2 loses mmmm not a good start and with a bogey team in good form next up it looks like a Unhappy New Year for Pardew and that means for us too. Can Pardew hack a big club Like Newcastle United, can he hack the Premiership or is it too early to be Questioning him and his results? Southhampton did not think so they got rid early doors but five and a half years seems to me like he will still be in charge next season premiership or not, Yipee.

City Get Lucky Again

Last time we played City we ended up getting beat 2-1 and having Ben Arfa's leg broken in two places. Penalties given or not given, this time we had a point to prove but we were caught napping and found ourselves two down after only five minutes. With that score against this City, it was never going to be easy but Newcastle regrouped and played some neat football and really deserved to go in at half-time with at least one goal. However, it took local lad Carroll until the 72nd minute to get one back. Newcastle were brilliant in the second half but as the goal came late on we were chasing the game and leaving big gaps at the back. No other than Carlos 'I want out' Tevez took advantage and got lucky with a massive deflection to get number three and put the game out of reach. The lads to their credit did not give up but carried on trying to get another goal. We can consider ourselves unlucky again against the most expensive team ever assembled in the Premiership.

Newcastle v Liverpool, Ashley, Llambias and Pardew

Before last Saturday's clash with Liverpool, the Toon army seemed determined to show Ashley and co what they thought of him and his latest decision to sack the man who united and stabilised the club for the first time in over a decade. The "protest" had been given plenty of media attention and with a promise of cameras being there, it was a fine opportunity for the Toon Army to give Ashley the middle finger and let him know what he should already know. What actually transpired was a small gathering of about two hundred young lads with a few older Geordies outside the main entrance to the Milburn stand who came up with some half-hearted and short lived protest songs and even some happy birthday songs for Hughton. The protest was weak and would not have been heard by the fat cats sat in the directors fat seats especially as people were walking round with NUFC club shop bags, i.e. the boycott of all merchandise was not being observed as wished for by the most ardent fans.

As the game approached, the fans removed their peaceful protest and sulked off to their season ticket seats to witness a pretty dull first half with outbreaks of "We want Ashley out" in small pockets around the ground. Pardew was lucky to escape the abuse despite being another Mafia boy and it was only Ashley who came under the cosh from the Geordies who gorged themselves on his beer before the game and at half time. Pardew will however not be able to hide from the baying Geordie public for too long as results like this will not be forthcoming every week. He is doomed to fail just like all his other clubs. He will however come out of this job with a pocket full of money and a headache. We got the first goal before half time and not long after the interval, Liverpool grabbed one back. However, it was two late goals from Barton and Carroll that swept the Geordies off their feet into no man's land as they did not know whether to laugh or cry. It surely took the edge off any real demonstrations about Ashley and co as the majority seemed happy to go along with his desicions as long as were winning. The fact is it won't be long till Pardew is a Souness, Allardyce, JFK etc. At this point, will the Geordies turn on Pardew or will they get behind him for the sake of the team? Should we get behind Ashley for the sake of the team? Is Ashley wrong for getting rid of Hughton? If he is, then you can't support his people or his decisions or at least I can't I and I didn't. I called for all heads to roll and I walked out before half time vowing never to return until Ashley, Llameass and Pardew are out of our once great club. Its only going to get worse with these clowns in charge and I would not forgive myself for ever getting behind them just like JFK. I remember the 1-1 draw at Everton the season we went down, people were actually singing his F..... name. Well, it wasn't me and I won't be singing Pardew's now or ever. If you're going to get behind the team and Pardew why stop there? You may as well get behind the owner as it's all his doing. F..k Pardew is what I say and his buddies and if any of them are reading this then I hope they take heed and piss off ASAP.

F..k Pardew is what I say and his buddies and if any of them are reading this then I hope they take heed and piss off ASAP

Before you write me off as a Newcastle United fan, I have a thing or two to say. I have, like every other Newcastle fan, been through some good times under Keegan but mainly it's been mediocre or depressing. I've seen us go down from the top division/league twice and struggle in the lower reaches of 2nd tier of football but my support has never wavered. I have always been a proud Geordie and stood behind our club through thick and thin and under Ashley it's been no exception. Every man has his breaking point though and it seems I have reached mine. I will no longer put money into the club by buying NUFC related gear or go to the games, home or away. This is a shame because nothing will ever stop me from supporting Newcastle United. Nothing ever could; non-league football could not do that. I am in a corner now as I want Pardew out desperately but hate seeing my team lose and slip down the table but I believe it's inevitable either way with Ashley at the helm. So as much as it pains me, Saturdays are going to tough, tougher than when we had Allardyce or Souness. I will grin and bear it until we ride the storm and hopefully it won't be too long till Ashley sells and puts all the players and Geordies around the world out of their miseries.

The players deserve a mention too as they are caught in the middle of this and although they have come out in support of Hughton, they have also got on with the football. As a player it's their job but it would have been easy for them to turn around and want out especially with this soap opera. We need to keep our local heros like Carroll, Barton and Enrique (they are all Geordies). How hard is it for them to stay at a club like ours? They deserve credit for standing up and getting on with it and I applaud them for that. I sincerely hope the majority will still be there when Ashley sells up.

We won the game 3-1 and moved into 8th, papering over the massive cracks at St James' Park. If you have not guessed already my song goes like this : "I want Pardew out, I want Pardew out I want Pardew out, I want Pardew out I want Pardew out, I want Pardew out I want Pardew out, I want Pardew out I want Pardew out, I want Pardew out I want Pardew out, I want Pardew out I want Pardew out, I want Pardew out I want Pardew out, I want Pardew out I want Pardew out, I want Pardew out I want Pardew out, I want Pardew out I want Pardew out, I want Pardew out I want Pardew out, I want Pardew out I want Pardew out, I want Pardew out I want Pardew out, I want Pardew out I want Pardew out, I want Pardew out I want Pardew out, I want Pardew out"

Pardew go now while the goings good

Pardew, get a cab and go home cause nobody wants you in Newcastle. You're not welcome, just as this picture shows.

Alan Pardew cut a very lonely figure at his photo shoot at St James' Park and his subsequent press conference on Wednesday. It's a true reflection of the feelings on Tyneside about the Pardew Puppet. Mike Ashley has made mistake after mistake and this could be his last if every Newcastle fan gets behind a campaign to oust the owner.

How can we get behind a manager who is clearly a pal of Cashley and Llameass? If we do that, Assley and Llamass will be rubbing their hands together laughing at us. They need to get a cab with Pardew. This is the lowest moment in Newcastle United's recent history and it's all down to Mike Assley after making one terrible decision after another.

Assley will only leave Newcastle once he can regain his money and more, or if he is losing money quick. That brings us into the equation. We need to protest; loud and peacefully. After the Saturday protest we need to keep it up week in week out. The people to do this are those with tickets already bought or season ticket holders. If you don't have tickets for games don't buy any, don't renew season tickets and if you're in the ground, DONT buy anything. You should have avoided Sports Direct long ago so the idea is strangle the fat ..... He understands money, so let him not have it. We may have to suffer not going to the games for a year or so but it's better than what we have had to put up with since he took over.

We really need to act on this. A group of Newcastle fans will still go to games, especially season ticket holders, but a home fixture of 20,000 or less till the end of the season will be well publicised and will put enormous pressure on an already pressured fat bloke. We can't just have a couple of banners out for the games. We need to GET RID OF HIM.

People keep saying we need to get behind Pardew but if we do that who is to say we won't go down this season or next season. If we want our club back we need to get rid of Assley. Pardew is a massive step backwards. The players will already be planning exits out in January or summer. I think they would also understand why the fans are staying away and would sympathise with us.

As the football world always tells us, we are the best fans in the country and they are right. It's hard for us to stay away from our beloved club. Our passion and loyalty lie deep within but we have got to put them aside no matter how hard it is to get our club back.

If Assley were to sell up we would be free of our shackles so let's be united in our struggle to get rid of this pretender. Stand up be counted and don't forget what its all about.

ASHLEY OUT

Protest being arranged for outside St James' Park for 4pm Saturday afternoon before the Liverpool game. If you can make it go and show your feelings. If you cant make it watch sky sports news or ESPN where the game will be shown live.

The protest will take place at 4pm on Saturday.

The aim of the protest is for fans to show appreciation for Chris Hughton and express their anger at the ownership of Mike Ashley. The protest will take place at 4pm outside SJP box office, an hour and a half before new manager Alan Pardew takes charge of his first game against Liverpool.


One of the organisers, Krishan Turner-Dav​e told NUFCfans.co.uk:
"The aim of the protest is to show our appreciation for the work that Chris Hughton did for our club. We also want to show our anger of the disgraceful treatment of Chris Hughton and the direction Ashley is taking the club by appointing Alan Pardew."
"We hope to show Chris Hughton just how grateful we are of what he has done for our football club. We also want to make it clear to Mike Ashley that we will no longer accept his terrible mismanagement of our football club."

He also said that this was a long-term campaign:
"We do not expect overnight success. We hope that all Newcastle fans that disagree with the way Mike Ashley is running our club come and protest in any constructive and peaceful they see fit."
"We think that pressure on Ashley, alongside a nationwide boycott by Newcastle supporters (and football supporters in general) of Sports Direct (Ashley owned) we can force Mike Ashley to reconsider his ownership of the club."
There have also been talks of a mass walkout from fans during the game. However, such plans have not been finalised.


Newcastle fans are angry at the sacking of Chris Hughton and the subsequent appointment of Alan Pardew.

Used and abused

Even after some poor performances and results in recent weeks, nobody has suggested or even hinted at Chris Hughton joining the ever growing list of sacked managers at Newcastle. But now, the man who brought us back to the top flight and put millions back onto the price tag of St James' Park has fallen to the Ashley guillotine.

What the hell is Mike "The Manic" Ashley doing? He has certainly alienated himself from the Geordie public never mind the people who support Newcastle United. Now he seems to be alienating himself from football in general. It's about time people understood what we have been going through under this prick. The big sufferers in this are us, the fans and Chris Hughton along with Paul Barron. It's certainly a heavy price to pay for everyone to finally sympathise with us fans rather than blaming us every time something happens at the club.

Hughton was given the task of keeping us in the Premier League this season and has reached a tally that if doubled, would probably see us safe in the top flight next season even though we are just half way through our season now. Hughton was a new, up and coming manager who worked hard, has the total backing of Tyneside and was an asset to the club and fans. But then so was Keegan.


Now he seems to be alienating himself from football in general

Has another manager been lined up? The bookies have stopped taking bets on Alan Pardew? Yes Alan Parwho. Has Hughton lost the dressing room - NO. Had he fallen out with Ashley? We have a squad capable of staying up but also of surrendering. If we don't have a man in charge who commands respect then relegation is now looking us firmly in the eyes. The players all respected Hughton as did the fans and the football community so why the does Ashley continue to make these terrible decisions? Our recent failure to secure points can be linked to a lack of support for Hughton in terms of transfer money. The fact that at least four first team players were out for our last three games does point to a weak squad and no manager can do anything about that if not given funds. We can all rule out the only man in English football capable of turning us round, Martin O'Neil, as he would demand from Ashley what Keegan demanded. Hughton has done a remarkable job under the circumstances.

The only time we have been successful as a club since Ashley took over has been when he did nothing and supported his manager (well apart from that re branding crap). That manager was Chris Hughton and the time was the Championship which Chris won with style and ease. So what exactly did Hughton do wrong? Has Ashley lost confidence in a man who is doing a great job? If we were bottom of the league, three or four points adrift then I think everyone would be sad to see Chris go but would agree. The fact is we sit in 11th on 19 points and have away victories at Everton, West Ham and Arsenal, great home wins against Aston Villa, a draw against the Champions, an away win in the Cup and of course, the one nobody could forget, the 5-1hammering of our local rivals. For that he deserved his contract as this certainly does not translate into failure.

Hughton's signing were good in Tiote and Ben Arfa. He was obviously very unlucky with Ben Arfa's injury by De Jong but the acquisition of Gosling was again good business. Everything Chris has done has been gained him more and more respect from the fans. He has won us over after going through some of the most difficult periods in our recent history, although it's never easy on Tyneside. The poor results we have had have been against teams we would have been looking at for points whilst we have picked up points from those we would have thought impossible so to turn things around (by the way crisis has not been mentioned on Tyneside) means that we have to beat teams like Blackpool and Blackburn when playing home fixtures. That task is much easier than going for the points against the better clubs in the Prem like Everton, Villa and the top four. We have done exceptionally well against all these teams this season bar Man United - even the Man City game at Eastlands should have been ours. Where was Ashley during these games? One can say Hughton has not been given a fair crack at the whip.

So what now then for NUFC and us, the long suffering fans of a club with so much promise? That seams a bit of a joke now with the thought of Alan Parwho coming to St James' Park. As far as Parwho is concerned I would rather have Steve Bruce. Yes, I did say Bruce. Maybe J.Kinnear is coming back, who knows what Ashley is planning. Would it shock you if he did? Would it shock you if O'Neill came? The only possible explanation is someone has been lined up. Martin Jol has just parted company with Ajax and is now being tipped to take over but what sort of experience has he got in the Premiership? Little that's what. He was at Spurs for as long as Chris has been at Newcastle in the Premiership except Chris has been involved with the Premiership ever since it started. I think Martin Jol will replace Hughton and I am not happy with it. What can he do Hughton could not?
