    Great article.
    We could sign Messi and Ronaldo in the summer but by Xmas they will succumb to the mind numbing tactics of Pardew.
    He did it at West Ham and he's doing it now.

    If Pardew is in charge next season i won't be back. We won 3-0 on Saturday but i and thousands like me came out in utter silence. If someone had looked at everyone's faces they would have thought we lost again. I know we won't win the league, but we could win a cup, but we play under strength teams. Bloody hell Wigan and Birmingham have both won cups in recent years.
    Sorry forgot, we don't have the finances to compete with them.

    What baffles me is that there are STILL people that are defending the guy. Like he can do no wrong and it's all Mike Ashley's fault and AP is the fall guy. Sure, MA holds the purse strings but good managers can get results with what they actually have.

    If AP thinks that one unconvincing win against a relegated side will make people forget how utterly **** he is then he is in for a rude awakening. The vitriol next season will be worse if he's still here. I for one won't be going back if he remains in charge.

    I can see us becoming like Deadly Doug Ellis' Villa. Remember that? He was always unmoved by the fans, never gave the club a lick of ambition and they just sat there, every year, between 10th and 15th like a dull grey splodge. Severe lack of investment, backing of some incredibly awful managers, constantly selling best players.

    Too many of our fans just sit there in silence and take this bullshit. They then have the nerve to come out and say 'it's not his fault'. Seriously?????

    If it isn't his fault, who's fault is it?

    Pardew out!

    He needs to go. If we lose games 3-0 it should be a result of us trying to win games 3-0. I can't tell you the last time it looked like we were going for it. Really bearing down in the other teams half. Probably Chelsea from 2 seasons ago. Those days are long gone now, and so is the confidence.

    I'm pretty sure the players would love nothing better than to step out on to that pitch and just go for it. Instead, they're being told to play cautiously which for a fair few of them is against their nature.

    If Pardew doesn't go at the end of the season, we as supporters should let him know we don't want him. Some people are saying the booing on Saturday was a disgrace. I'm sorry in my opinion he got off lightly. I went berserk when he brought on Stephen Taylor. That substitution sums him up. Then he tries to justify it by making out Cardiff are brilliant. They are bottom of the league just been pumped 4- 0 by Sunderland. The man just makes my blood boil now.

    Exactly, we should be looking to destroy those teams. Cardiff are a championship side. Those are the home games where you send out ben arfa and say go have fun.

    Pardew should be hounded out of the club if he doesn't go willingly. Those people slating the reception? Guess what? ****ing do one.

    What summed up Pardew was being 1-0 up vs this shower, then bringing on Taylor to make it 5 at the back. He's 100% about saving himself and his own skin.

    Yes, he did at one point, which was actually the first time I can recall seeing SIX defenders in a line, almost looking for some space to stand in.

    I thought so. If that doesn't sum up absolute incompetence, I don't know what does!

    Aye it's not rocket science... if you don't like the environment you work in on ANY level... you simply make a choice to move.
    you certainly don't have digs at your customers.
    Would Fat Mike allow a store manager from SD to stand at the door making digs towards customers as they left?
    Nope.....
