  This be shambles

• 2 Kyo // Jan 20, 2013 at 1:24 AM

  We are a joke of a football club when we pay mega kernts like Nile fracking Ranger a salary.

• 3 Eddie // Jan 20, 2013 at 1:25 AM

  To think it could come to this… being lectured on behaviour by Nile Ranger…

• 4 El Tino // Jan 20, 2013 at 1:27 AM

  dont dis the mighty power ranger. he was immense in attack the block (2011)

• 5 Peter // Jan 20, 2013 at 1:30 AM

  Don’t want to be a complete tool here but. . He has a point just a shame he’s a reason towards the boos the useless gangster

• 6 nick_9 // Jan 20, 2013 at 1:30 AM

  Nice of Nile to give a damn for once, although I suspect if was just another chance to have a pop at the fans. Sick of this plastic footballer at our club. He’s been given enough chances and doesn’t deserve more game time over other youngsters.

  Ed – did you miss the tweet were he said:

  ” @NilePowerRanger: Last thing from me… To all the fans. U are not forced to buy season tickets.. Or pay our wages.. Please remember that…”

  Absolute mug, who does not deserve to be a footballer.

• 7 Eddie // Jan 20, 2013 at 1:31 AM

  sorry tino, didn’t realise he’d redeemed himself. are you sure the ganja didn’t cloud your judgement?

• 8 Eddie // Jan 20, 2013 at 1:34 AM

  Clearly Nile would prefer a stadium full of people who didn’t give a sh*t.

• 9 El Tino // Jan 20, 2013 at 1:37 AM

  lol. i dont know any other player who has been arrested more times than hes scored.

• 10 roe997 // Jan 20, 2013 at 1:38 AM

  The fans were booing pardews shambolic tactic ffs.why would any msnaget take off there 3 better creative players to sub with…….?

• 11 santonthenewmaldini // Jan 20, 2013 at 1:42 AM

  This is quite bad from Ranger he is asking to get pelters the next time he is out on the town or comes on as a sub although hopefully we buy players so he is nowhere near the bench

  Can understand that it looks like he cares but I feel him and Pardew slating the fans last night is the worst thing you can do once that starts there is usually only one way that is going to go….

  This has exactly the same vibe when we got relegated about the club got to hope Chelsea dont destroy us in a couple of weeks Benitez has a good record against us Liverpool dished out some beastings to us when he was manager

• 12 Eddie // Jan 20, 2013 at 1:43 AM

  he wanted to close out the game, didn’t he? hahaha – as much chance of us shutting up shop at the moment as of willo scoring from a corner. much more likely to see our friend nile get nicked again before either of these!

• 13 MacToon // Jan 20, 2013 at 1:44 AM

  Thought the boo’s were directed at Pardew! Anyway, that’s more than enough time wasted on this waster.

• 14 dcdick // Jan 20, 2013 at 1:47 AM

  Is Ranger still on the payroll ?

  The fact he still wears the black & white & is in the squad for first team matches tells me all I need to know about the demise of my club

  Proper pissed off now

• 15 nick_9 // Jan 20, 2013 at 1:49 AM

  Makes me feel like my season pass and merchandise money is being well spent on someones wages who has a pop at the fans all the time. He is just asking for trouble going against the fans as is Pardew. I dread to think what the dressing room was like today, I’m hoping they actually gave a 5hit and didn’t just dismiss it as another bad day at the office.

• 16 danmuamua // Jan 20, 2013 at 1:51 AM

  Crawl back under the rock you came from Ranger. Is this what it has come to. A man that should have had his contract terminated many moons ago, lectures the fans on how to behave. We the fans can show our discontent in any way we deep necessary. We work hard for our money up here in the north and its not easy to find a spare 600 pound for a season ticket. So when we see useless, overpaid, over rated prima donnas we have a right to boo. Why is this bafoon at our football club? What a f****g joke.

• 17 Eddie // Jan 20, 2013 at 1:52 AM

  i don’t see how this situation with the fans can be prevented from deteriorating – who the blooming hell is going to stand for a tongue-lashing from the very mediocrities who have been serving up the garbage that has seen them rightly chastised by the punters? it’s all topsy-turvy and very disturbing.

• 18 Eddie // Jan 20, 2013 at 1:58 AM

  the fact that it was big al who signed this lemon to a long-term deal just adds a greater depth of ironic cruelty to our predicament.

• 19 Eddie // Jan 20, 2013 at 2:01 AM

  and where’s that bong we were promised?

• 20 geordiejamie89 // Jan 20, 2013 at 2:05 AM

  Nile Ranger is an absolute idiot. Nobody buys tickets or season tickets to watch him, that’s for sure.
  Maybe he should keep his mouth shut and get on with trying to be a half decent footballer, something he won’t achieve in this lifetime. He’s not even in the same league as Obertan and Williamson!

• 21 GAZ09 // Jan 20, 2013 at 2:07 AM

  Whats the story on Mbiwa have other clubs really bid for him? or have we signed him and now just pending a medical?

• 22 YankToon10 // Jan 20, 2013 at 2:08 AM

  Hahaha Nile Ranger telling people how to behave…amazing.

• 23 numnut // Jan 20, 2013 at 2:08 AM

  I remember watching MOTD last season when we were running high and Gary Linker turned to Mark Lawrenson a said “what you you think about what Alan Pardew has done with newcastle this season?” His reply “I don’t rate AP i think he has been lucky with Damba Ba scoring all the goals then Hatem Ben Arfa coming back from injury and then Cisse coming in and finishing off the season. I would like to see what happens next season because i think these players have held NUFC up”. Well he got it spot on .I wonder why I never forgot those words . Time to go AP all you have done is brought in a few players that you don’t know how to handle (you got lucky)
  that season I here the SPECIAL ONE wants to return to England !***MR ASHLEY ***
  As for Ranger IF WE HAD A GOOD MANAGER YOU WOULD NOT BE HERE!

• 24 stavros // Jan 20, 2013 at 2:09 AM

  Ranger is an idiot for saying what he said but I agree with him.

  I keep reading people saying the fans were booing Pardew but if you are booing when a 19 year old is running onto the pitch you may as well tie his feet together.

  We were all miserable and understandably furious with more strange decisions from Pardew but after being amazing all year as fans we played our part in the loss today.

• 25 GAZ09 // Jan 20, 2013 at 2:10 AM

  Ranger is a bad apple and should be nowhere near the first team due to bad attitude and simply not good enough as a player, far too many chances that kid has had.

• 26 Mister Tuff // Jan 20, 2013 at 2:12 AM

  Eddie – re Bong -last news activity was about 10 days ago -we have put in a bid -a small one – and nothing further has been heard. Might be a good sign -who knows.

• 27 Eddie // Jan 20, 2013 at 2:16 AM

  thanks tuff – would that be a bid just small enough to ensure that we don’t get him?

• 28 YorkshiresFinestGeordie // Jan 20, 2013 at 2:18 AM

  My god I feel very low right now, being lectured by a criminal. P*ss off you sod, you’ve taken our club as a bunch of mugs

• 29 Mister Tuff // Jan 20, 2013 at 2:22 AM

  Eddie I think it was something like 2 million euros but it is reported Fat Sam is sniffing around as well.

• 30 Eddie // Jan 20, 2013 at 2:24 AM

  and changing the topic slightly, didn’t we fail to get the top academy status? which means even the whole “let’s be arsenal” idea is up in smoke. and anyway, don’t the top clubs get the best youngsters as well as the seniors? help me out here guys, i’m starting to wonder if all the positive noises coming out of our club weren’t just farts.

• 31 jayphoto // Jan 20, 2013 at 2:24 AM

  Been behind pardew so far but todays loss really was down to his decisions! Actually agreed with bringing marveaux off because he fades dramatically after an hour, but it needed to be obertan that came on, reading were on the back foot after the first half and perch, as much as i like him was the wrong choice!
  Another poor decision was shola anywhere near the starting 11! Shola is very effective coming on in the last 25 minutes, but useless from the start! Our available players today make for a pretty strong side, time for excuses has passed

• 32 Eddie // Jan 20, 2013 at 2:25 AM

  fat sam’s sniffing the bong?

• 33 jayphoto // Jan 20, 2013 at 2:26 AM

  @eddie – they failed to get top status but it was over a small issue tht theyve since fixed , top status should be granted sometime this year

• 34 MacToon // Jan 20, 2013 at 2:27 AM

  Stavros, we share the blame for today and nothing to do with the half time team talk? Or substitutions? Or last summer’s lack of signings. Or……..

  I hold my hands up, I’m to blame!!!

• 35 Skruf // Jan 20, 2013 at 2:31 AM

  Shut up ranger..
  It`s not the fans fault that pardew is clueless..

• 36 Eddie // Jan 20, 2013 at 2:32 AM

  jay – isn’t this exactly where pardew has failed this season? he’s handled the subs woefully – it’s as though he want’s players to produce miracles for him rather than using them for there basic attributes – for example, with obertan, why not look playing him more advanced, giving him balls over the top. why not try santon on the wing etc etc

• 37 Dondatta13 // Jan 20, 2013 at 2:33 AM

  tbf I think he means we contributed to the loss by booing, not that it was the sole reason we lost…There was no “One reason” to our loss today there was a number of factors involved.

• 38 Eddie // Jan 20, 2013 at 2:34 AM

  jay – glad to hear that about the academy. thought it was all going to pot.

• 39 No Plain Saylor // Jan 20, 2013 at 2:37 AM

  What can fans do only boo when Parsh!t makes decisions like that? Yes i am aware cabaye picked up a nigle, but why not go like for like?? An attack minded player could have come on, there is still no explaining marveux’s substitution? And sitting back for the last half an hour inviting reading on? After a first half where we would easily, easily have been 5-0 up, cisse with a bit more luck had 3 or 4 in the first half. Pardew has lost the dressing room, the majority of the fans, and the plot. With each passing game i pray this will be the one where he is told to f off. Im sure im not alone in saying i think for every game pardew remains in charge i feel like we’ve missed an opportunity to put points on the board, he will not get 10 points between now and may, i bet my left nut on it. Would what nile power ranger would think if the stadium was empty the next three home games, Ashley’d be gone anyway if he thought he couldnt milk the fans dry anymore, and nile? Well he’d probly be the first lad let go…

• 40 Eddie // Jan 20, 2013 at 2:39 AM

  let’s face it – the booing happened in the greater context of a truly appalling run of results. this is the point – not abstract questions of whether it’s right for fans to boo their own manager/players etc.

• 41 stavros // Jan 20, 2013 at 2:39 AM

  MacToon

  I completely agree with every point you make. I’ve seen it many times this season. I just don’t see how booing as players run onto the pitch is going to help us get a win. Boo at the end if you want to get a point across.

  The fans have been amazing this year but I was disappointed with the booing during the game.

• 42 Eddie // Jan 20, 2013 at 2:41 AM

  Canny wager NPS – who’s gonna want your left nut?

• 43 Skruf // Jan 20, 2013 at 2:44 AM

  Booing when they loos against a team that got their first away win of the season..
  I understand that..

• 44 Skruf // Jan 20, 2013 at 2:44 AM

  loose

• 45 No Plain Saylor // Jan 20, 2013 at 2:48 AM

  Paddypower haha they’ve taken everything else!

• 46 MacToon // Jan 20, 2013 at 2:48 AM

  I’d agree that the booing should have stopped as Bigi came on but hey the answer’s quite clear really. Give us some football to watch and get some results.

  OK, so I was not one booing today but I do understand those that may feel it neccesary and we’ve had patches of football to watch all season but it’s only been patches at best.

  Alot of disillusioned fans about, I just hope for the sake of us that our players don’t feel the same.
  And respect to you Stavros and Dondatta for reasoned replies.
  Just like to say though, there’s not a player who I’d single out myself, it’s the people above who are letting us down.

• 47 Eddie // Jan 20, 2013 at 2:52 AM

  good man

• 48 NUFC_LEAZES END // Jan 20, 2013 at 2:53 AM

  Shut up Nile you nobody!!

• 49 Eddie // Jan 20, 2013 at 2:56 AM

  the fans are the real “people above” – aren’t we the ones who are constantly looking down on the by turns farcical and exhilarating spectacle that has been and continues to be nufc?

• 50 No Plain Saylor // Jan 20, 2013 at 2:58 AM

  …. God im sick of this banner, Pardew in the middle glowing like some kind of omnipotent angel. Can we please change it id rather strolla shola’s @rse :/

• 51 p // Jan 20, 2013 at 2:59 AM

  Asked earlier but everyone was too busy freaking out…

  Anyone think pardew will be sacked this week? What if we get nothing at villa?

  Would mash really stick with a guy who has lost him that much money if we go down? I don’t anyone can say it’s injuries, that’s an excuse to be mid-table not to be in a relegation battle surely?

• 52 Eddie // Jan 20, 2013 at 3:10 AM

  p – i can’t believe that ashley hasn’t got a cut-off point as regards “the glowing one’s” ever more tragic attempts at management – but, based on the fat man’s track record, i shudder to think who he might replace him with!

• 53 p // Jan 20, 2013 at 3:11 AM

  By the way i think it’s pointless talking about ranger, he is a tool, end of

• 54 No Plain Saylor // Jan 20, 2013 at 3:12 AM

  Trouble is do you think even if MA musters up the courage to send his lap dog packing he’ll replace him with someone decent? I mean I cant see Llamarse or Ahley convincing Blanc, Di Matteo, Roberto Martinez, Di Canio, Solsjkaer.. or any other name we’ve mentioned on here I cant see them going for anyone with a mind of their own, MA wants a yes man. I think what’ll happen is out of his sheer love for the club alan shearer will say anything he has to to fat mike to get the job, try his best, same result as four years ago/.. we’ll all still love him but right back to square one. Too pessimistic?

• 55 p // Jan 20, 2013 at 3:13 AM

  Eddie, that is true. Let’s face it, it won’t be mourinho. I get scared even contemplating the alternative

• 56 No Plain Saylor // Jan 20, 2013 at 3:14 AM

  Or we’ll get the amazing appointment of someone like mick mccarthy..

• 57 p // Jan 20, 2013 at 3:16 AM

  Everyone says mash wants a yes man, maybe he will evolve again?

  I do reckon,money invested in the right manager is money better invested than anywhere else

  Wenger has had to sell zillions in talent does not seem to spend much but could get a pub team beating the likes of us right now

• 58 Mister Tuff // Jan 20, 2013 at 3:19 AM

  p – I don’t think Percy will be sacked. I still think there are going to be several new arrivals in the coming days. Might be different if we fail against Villa though.

• 59 p // Jan 20, 2013 at 3:21 AM

  Yes, shearer was a great striker but not much else. Can’t even be arsed to do his homework for match of the day

  I think his coaching consists of putting on a dvd of shearerers greatest and saying you need to do whay i did lads

• 60 p // Jan 20, 2013 at 3:28 AM

  A predicament for mash – survival is a must, changing is a risk but the longer you leave it the harder it will be

• 61 No Plain Saylor // Jan 20, 2013 at 3:38 AM

  Well said p! Yano every week watchin motd especially when we’ve played poorly which has been every game for the last 3 months.. I expect shearer to lauch an attack on the running of the club, to show a bit of passion. He is like our link between the club and the fans. Pardew we are sick of his lies and bull in interviews. And there are no senior footballing men at the club, shearer is like the voice of the fans and the thing is if he says something it’ll be heard in echos in the corridors of nufc. He should of said something tonight, but he was wincing i think he was biting his tounge. Here’s a thought, completely different topic ha, but we have the same players from last season, one point of chamipions league.. The same fans, im sure we gained in support from abroad over the past year, same sponsers, tv rights deal is gettin all the more profitable.. We are also one of the only clubs in the league to make a profit. Us, norwich and arsenal. Yet we are worth a hell of a lot less than we were 15 months ago? Just a thought but i reckon we are an attractive prospect to rich folk right now, this is the kind of time a takeover bid comes in, when noones expecing it. Maybe by the summer we could be rid of MA, Llambais and Pardew….. Dreamin!

• 62 santonthenewmaldini // Jan 20, 2013 at 3:41 AM

  I think Pardew will get to about end of Feb to get some points on the board heres the fixtures coming up:

  We HAVE to win at Villa
  Chelsea and Spurs after that probably get pounded in both
  2 legs in a row against Met kharkiv should go all out for the win but will probably play a weakend team
  Southampton at home MUST WIN
  Swansea Wigan Man City Stoke in March need a minimum of 6 points

  So we actually could be rock bottom by March the way the rest of the teams are playing at the moment

• 63 p // Jan 20, 2013 at 3:46 AM

  When you lay out the upcoming fixtures it does not look good

  I reckon if we lose to villa that will be ot for pards

• 64 jimmysmith // Jan 20, 2013 at 3:46 AM

  Problem with new signings is they’ll by necessity be thrown into the deep end of the most demanding league in the world.

  No time to adjust and no room for failure with potentially terrible consequences in the likelihood they do. It’s an extremely precarious situation.

• 65 No Plain Saylor // Jan 20, 2013 at 3:51 AM

  If we wait until the end of feb to sack him we may as well prepare for the championship. March looks a tough month. And you dont want to be bottom at the start of april it doesn’t leave uch time. Right now is perfect to get rid of him, 9 days till we play the next game. It leaves the new manager 15 games to turn things around.. And how often have you seen a new manager walk into a club and for everyone gets a bit of a lift, every player feels ohh il impress him and be in the starting team, differet approach to games etc.. sure look at martin o neil when he took over sunderland? As bang average as a team as there is but they went on a great run for a while and by no means is he a good manager.. A shake up is what we need and we need it now before things are too late.

• 66 Joe Blog // Jan 20, 2013 at 3:52 AM

  Just get Pardew out, please! He’s like a dog dragging it’s back end along and smearing shite over the club I once loved and can love again, I hope.

  He’s an utter wretch of a man, every time he opens his trap, I want to stuff so much cotton wool down his throat, it comes out of his arse like the wee tail on a Playboy bunny.

• 67 Tommyy // Jan 20, 2013 at 3:52 AM

  The players can still push us through, first half we should have been 3 – 0 up, possibly 3-1. Pardew cost us this game but it showed the players have what it takes to win still, we looked decent.

• 68 p // Jan 20, 2013 at 3:53 AM

  On friday i was cool, i thought we would get 3 points on sat

  Now i think we are in seriosly deep s#%@ and believe only a somewhat special manager with a fresh approach and a bit of luck can sort this
  Maybe pards can turn it around but its not looking good

• 69 messi_is_king // Jan 20, 2013 at 3:54 AM

  lol this league is overrated isnt that hard to adjust look at remy

• 70 No Plain Saylor // Jan 20, 2013 at 3:54 AM

  Id rather we get Larent Blanc as manager than get Messi as a signing. Pardew would probably play him cb anyway and make him play hoofball, doesnt matter who we sign while he’s in charge.

• 71 messi_is_king // Jan 20, 2013 at 3:54 AM

  That team today was good enough to beat Reading at home, manager takes the blame

  We have got good players, okay not the deepest squad but any less so than the teams around us? no

  The board last 3 years have brought really good signings

  They tryed to get Remy , got debuchy and are going for mbiwa. all good players

  Thing is we haven’t got the manager to get the best outa them

  PARDEW OUT!!

• 72 Tommyy // Jan 20, 2013 at 3:56 AM

  Well it’s true Pardew has now lost the fans, can’t guess what will happen in the next chapter for Newcastle United, but it’s certainly coming.

• 73 No Plain Saylor // Jan 20, 2013 at 3:57 AM

  Tommyy.
  The players showed they have what it takes to win for 45 minutes. At home. Against the club with the worst away record in all four divisions in the country.

• 74 No Plain Saylor // Jan 20, 2013 at 3:57 AM

  ……. And they lost.

• 75 Tommyy // Jan 20, 2013 at 3:59 AM

  No Plain Saylor

  Precisely, right up until Pardew got at them during half time. I said we had the players. Not the manager.

• 76 messi_is_king // Jan 20, 2013 at 4:07 AM

  taking off marveaux was shocking!

  always the same with Pardew when we go 1 up he sits back

  booo

  #PardewOut

• 77 No Plain Saylor // Jan 20, 2013 at 4:10 AM

  I know yeah, i mean pardew is 90 per cent to blame i wont say the players have what it takes to win until they win at least one game. Plus is there going to be an easier game between now and may? Reading are 19th, qpr are better, and getting better too, there is no easier game than reading at home.. and we lost.

  i see that marseille have agreed terms with moussa sissoko, but refuse to pay anymore than 3 million euro. And sissoko has stalled as he is waiting to see if anyone comes in with an offer from england. I mean take the hintm the lad has mentioned us three times in press conferences.. This is like that girl u think is an absolute babe an never make a move on her, then u find out she fancied ya for ages.. Apperently villa are going in for him, and coutinho.. For christs sake sissoko would be fantastic, and at 2.3 million pound i mean ma likes this one in one out transfer system, so who could we get £2.3m for.. Perch? Id say we’d get 2.3 for Willo! I understand we missed out on remy and there was nothing we could do, but its a different story if we dont even try for moussa.

• 78 p // Jan 20, 2013 at 4:36 AM

  Wellmaybe a couple of private jets turning up at newcastle airport in the next week but if we stillcome back from villa with nowt, then surely even mash will not accept the inevitable excuses that will flow out of pardews mouh much like a case of the anal squirts

• 79 Trent Toon // Jan 20, 2013 at 4:36 AM

  We are the customers, this is our football club! It was here before me, and will be here after me. Ranger is our employee, how dare he say that to the people that actually care for this club. He is out of line and should be sold ASAP! Also, we were booing at pardew for his tactical misendeavors and it was aimed at no player or not even at the team.

  Last season was a fluke, there was only one game that I was actually impressed on our playing style and fluency, it was the 3-0 against Manchester United. Other than that we hoed and hummed through the season having a few shocker games along the way (5-1 Bolton).

  Alan pardew has had a very average run as newcastle manager but to his slight credit he did bring a period of stability for a year but did in no way deserve an 8 year contract! He has lost the plot now and cannot continue as manager, he has no idea what he is doing. It’s plain and simple and everyone can see it! He is a lot of talk and little of anything else, he must go. We need a footballing mind controlling the team, something he doesn’t have. We need a tactician not a strategist. We need a Geordie that understands fans. Our greatest managers in recent times were both Geordies – bring back shearer, making him coach and groom him for manager!

• 80 p // Jan 20, 2013 at 4:42 AM

  Shearer? You are having a laugh

  He has prived only that he inept as a manager in similar circumstances

  The difference is before he had guys that knew him and even played underhis captaincy, now he has to deal with a bunch of temperamental french guys

• 81 geordiejamie89 // Jan 20, 2013 at 5:03 AM

  Pardew out, Adkins in. He at least knows how to manage a team.

• 82 Toon_Jock // Jan 20, 2013 at 5:04 AM

  Getting fisted by Mackem’s whilst receiving a reach arounds from smoggies is what Ranger does in his spare time!

• 83 jimmysmith // Jan 20, 2013 at 5:15 AM

  Ther’s not much point in sacking him unless there is a thoroughly vetted quality replacement lined up, which of course there isn’t.

  He needs to be given the quality he’s been denied and judged by what he achieves from there on in. And even then, if we go down and Pardew ultimately get’s the sack, which he may well deserve, he’ll still have been let down by the owner, as have the players and us.

• 84 Santon03 // Jan 20, 2013 at 5:16 AM

  Ok I’m much calmer now than yesterday.

  I can’t really blame Ashley for yesterday defeat, he must have felt the same as we did.
  I’m sure that we could beat Reading with the team we had.
  Talking about pouring money to get players in isn’t always the best solution. It might win us a trophy, but also can make us bankrupt. I don’t want this club to be like Rangers or Leeds.
  Look at Lazio, they didn’t have superstars, they didn’t do massive transfers, but they have the right manager.
  Why do we have to copy spurs, city, manu, chelsea or liverpool? Why can’t we copy Lazio who didn’t buy superstars, low wage, but playing excellent football? Lazio also have injuries problem too, even our players quality is better than theirs, but they have excellent manager.
  I think pardew need to shut the f@ck up and start doing the right thing, it’s NOT FAIR to most of the fans. now it’s 2 wins out of 18 games, it’s just not fair at all to make us go through all this and then asking us to smile and cheer. I said most of us, not including pardew fans, you can go to hell.

• 85 Santon03 // Jan 20, 2013 at 5:25 AM

  what nile said just proved how low his IQ is.

• 86 gonufc (up and Hatem) // Jan 20, 2013 at 5:28 AM

  Shearer? I think his appearances on match of the day have proved he’s not a great thinker of the game.

  “I can’t tell you how difficult that is….” What? 1. It’s your job to tell us and 2. it’s a rocket of a volley from 30 yards, we actually know that’s difficult!!

  Still a legend though, lol.

  If we showed any ambition this window we would have to try get Wilfred Bony and Dries Mertens both could make us stronger and make ashley a profit in a few years

  I agree with Stavros, you should NEVER boo your own team. And it certainly didnt improve our morale that we did. That said, Nile Ranger is the last one to speak, that tool should have left our club ages ago.

  This has gone past the need for new players. This is now a time where we need a new manager. I bet Peter Beardsley can manage the club better than F***dew can. From tactics to motivation to transfers to everything.

  Santon03… I actually thought the same thing, I think his shoe size tops his IQ tbh.

• 91 Williamsonsuks // Jan 20, 2013 at 6:40 AM

  RANGER YOU TIT!! The boos were for Pardew taking off Marveaux, not aimed at any players in particular.

• 92 Trent Toon // Jan 20, 2013 at 6:41 AM

  Yeah well I didn’t say put shearer straight into manager we done that before and it didn’t work out. If he learns as a coach he may work out for us as other Geordies have. Just sayin

• 93 BigBen // Jan 20, 2013 at 6:42 AM

  He’s right. I have never booed my own club or any of our players in my life (and I have had good reason to!). Clue is in the word – SUPPORTers. Get used to it. I predict we will only get 1 point in next 3 games. Accept that, and anything else is a bonus.

  Come on lads we are behind you. Toon toon!!

  Shut up Nile you don’t know what your talking about.

• 95 ash1001 // Jan 20, 2013 at 7:51 AM

  An open comment to NUFC Players and in particular Yohan Cabaye and Sylvian Marveux.
  None of the booing yesterday was directed at the players and you two in particular, deepest apologies if you thought it was.
  Its was all directed towards PARDEW.

  Sorry “victim”

  This is Nile Ranger who is suing The Toon for racial discrimination. What an absolute bulls knacker I travel all over following my team unfortunately I do not get to choose who is allowed to wear our shirt and it is the shirt I follow not the person wearing it.
  Go back to London you moron Ranger and go play gangster there you tool.

• 99 Lee Dodd // Jan 20, 2013 at 11:11 AM

  Lets get One Thing Right Here. We Played well First Half Then Cabaye gets Injured and he is Substituted. The Fans Were Right Behind the Team Then Alan Pardew Puts the others on. That was The Problem. WhatPardew Needs To Do is Deck The Linesman or the Ref Then We have John Carver in Charge to Keep us up. As for The Very Respectable Law Abiding Monk Nile STupid Ranger We pay your 5 year Contract you FOOL !!!!! now go and play in the Reserves !!!!!

• 100 Lee Dodd // Jan 20, 2013 at 11:31 AM

  Ha ha Ranger speaks . We the fans want Rid of the Manager and also On Player !!!! You Ranger You Ideot Your Like Xisco the only reason is You were Given a Stupid Contract. No One Wants You here Nile Ranger . Do The Decent Thing and Crawl Back under your stone !!!!!!

• 101 bringbackemre // Jan 20, 2013 at 1:12 PM

  Nile ranger is completely right , we are by far the most fickle fans and demanding fans in the world . I cant remember having a single manager in recent years who “didn know” what he was doing .

• 102 OhSholaAmeobi // Jan 20, 2013 at 3:35 PM

  Dear Nile,
  if isn’t clear to that thick skull of yours, we weren’t booing any of the players or the team. We were booing the fact that our manager decided to sit back with over half an hour left to play knowing full well we’ve had a leaky defence this year and can’t hold a 1-0 lead. He then took our remaining creativity off after Reading drew level to bring on another defensive midfielder. Added to the fact we’ve turned up every week this season and not seen a good performance from the team yet, have lost too many games and look like playing Championship football next season after being promised so much, you can understand our frustration. We are always 100% behind the team and the players, but when the tactics are wrong and cost us all 3 points in a must-win game, we are right to feel aggrieved.
  Besides, all the more reason to be fired up for the Villa game eh? D***head.
  Yours sincerely,
  OhSholaAmeobi
