Great spot. The two directly above Pardew's head and the one with the red hat and shades (far left) are the value.

Newcastle say they are fining Pardew £100,000 but how will we know for sure that Ashley has really gone and taken the money off his great chum? I didn't think I could get any more cynical but I just did.
'Pards' was given an 8 year contract in 2012. Not sure he is massive buddies with Ashley now. Might be a chance to get rid without paying him $$$.
Bullshit Meyler did **** all. I'm not bothered about condemning Pardew any more than the media already have but what the frig did Meyler do wrong? Oh he brushed him aside slightly in trying to get the ball? Really? So a footballer whose team is losing isn't allowed to rush to take a throw-in just in case he might bump into someone who was clearly only there to try and slow him down? As I said above, I'm not really that botyhered about this incident and not going to get all rabid about it demanding a 100-game ban, but I have to defend Meyler here. He didn't behave like a **** like many players do.
My first thoughts were it was just a bit of silly scuffle that you see on pitches all around the country on a Sunday morning. However, what would happen if next week in a meeting a member of the legal team told me they couldn't draw up those contracts I urgently need and I walked over and stuck my head in is face. I'd be out on my ear before my feet touched the floor. Incidentally I often wish I could head butt the legal team....
Well done to Pardew for increasing our global profile without the need for a ridiculous name change, Mr Allam take note please!
Anybody saying Meyler was at some way at fault for that incident is just a tool beyond belief, he was just rushing to get the ball back, Pardew baulked him, assaulted him, and should be sacked. Meyler would have a case for taking criminal action against Pardew I would think.
Had a look ... Meyler knew what he was doing when he went for the ball and pushed Pardew, booking justfied, Meyler needs to behave better ... Pardew knew what he was doing, pity he missed as he will be heavily fined and not have nutted the lad ... 4-1 though is the real story Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Well, this incident's completely taken the focus away from us getting beat 4-1 yesterday - which is good - don't want any negative attention from the media.
' "For the sake of Leeds United he would break himself in two" There's only one Billy Bremner' Yeah, that's why he joined Hull City.
The most considered and mature contribution to the whole debate so far. Sent from my Nexus 10 using my ****ing finger.
