It was in a response to being asked to jeer and protest. I hope you are correct and it doesn't happen tonight.
Not me, its come from knowing 2 Newcastle season ticket holders. I don't read or watch UK sports media. What precisely is it with Newcastle fans and attendances? They somehow manage to shoehorn it into every single conversation. But if you must, for the record Norwich get higher attendances per head of population and they don't win much.
You might want to check those stats again. Tip - use the census of 2011 and not wikipedia. And let me guess, you're not including Gateshead because of course nobody in Gateshead supports Newcastle...
Don't you think people can decide for themselves ? ' somebody on not606 said we should jeer so I'm going to do that ' ?
So your opinion is based on that of just TWO season ticket holders I go to 5-6 away games and 2-3 homes games a season, trust me when I say our expectations are similar to that of Southampton, a club that haven't achieved anything like we have in the last twenty years.
So why the vitriol against managers like Souness, Allardyce and indeed Pardew? They had you at Southampton-esque levels. Im not being arsey here - they lived up to those expectations so why force them out?
Of course they can, you jeer if you want. See what good it does you. I won't be. Like I said I'll be getting behind the team.
I'm referring to the Southampton of the last 2-3 years. Souness spent over 55 million on Owen, Luque, Boumsong, Emre and Parker. It was more than Fergie and Wenger were spending so of course back then we expected more than 14th. Allardyce was a bad fit, negative football and signed over aged and over priced crocks in Geremi, Cacappa, Rozenhal, Smith, Viduka. All of which were on over 60k a week, it was the 5th highest wage budget in the league and again we were in the bottom half. As for Pardew, we are bottom of the form table for the last 26 games, he head butted an opposition player, shoved a linesman and called Pelligrini an old c*nt. Shocking form aside it's hardly what you want from your manager is it?
He's turned us down once already and he went to the scum so he can fok off as far as I'm concerned, good manager though. Pardews not getting the sack anytime soon so no need to worry.
I hope Pardew is at Newcastle for a very long time , he might even win a few games at Championship level
WOW. The hissy fitters are out in force again. Despite what some of lazy fleet street think Alan Pardew is not in any real danger of the sack just yet. Thankfully we have football tonight which matters much more than this non story and nonsense. If Mike Ashley was going to sack Alan Pardew it would have happened last season or better still in the summer. In fact, Ashley has given his backing to Pardew. Lol. The Toon fans had better get used to Pardew for a while longer yet. Pardews assistant John Carver maybe another issue mind.?
as you say Tickler football matters more- am also looking forward to pre/post match drinks on Sat - the Geordie boys are as good as company as you'll get in pub and no doubt there'll be Pardew/Bruce talk - even if we win I still expect to have a good night out - the year Gillespie did ***an they were queuing up to buy us a drink and say sorry...
100% support of the team and we wont. That is all that matters tonight. The rest does not come into it. Some twitter twits have even started death threats for any pro-Allam supporters. Yeah right as if. The comments from Alan McInally on soccer saturday was just about spot on with regards to the name change. Whilst the Allams are still owning the club nothing will change re.Bruce. SB has one of the best manager jobs in the PL. You are about correct with ^^^^ this. Only the sad cases will do so and who cares about them anyway ? Correct on all points.
