The (self-appointed) elite Premier League clubs have finally got their way. The usual suspects forcing through a change that will disproportionately benefit themselves, compared to most other clubs. The BBC…

Premier League, you’re having a laugh…at this new proposal.

Reports are unconfirmed as to whether Papiss Cisse was joining in at the end with the Newcastle fans chanting at John Carver: ‘Are you Pardew in disguise?’

This year Newcastle substitutes have scored more goals than any other Premier League club and saved our season.

Newcastle v Burnley – Life after Pardew started so well…

With the possible exception of Marveaux, the lack of creativity and goals and game-changing capacity, is absolutely shocking.

I have a lot of faith in our first eleven delivering but only my prayers if any changes need to be made.

The record of Yoan Gouffran now reads fourteen starts in a Newcastle shirt and in thirteen of them he has been dragged off by the manager. Gouffran also made one appearance as a substitute himself, during the Liverpool fiasco, but just about managed to stay on the pitch for the 45 minutes after he came on at half-time.

Favourites with Pards rather than playing on merit. How else do you fathom Gutierrez starting ahead of Perch on the left, Shola coming on in every game and doing naff all, Gosling who is at best a squad reserve player who needs dumping.

Despite scoring a very good goal against West Brom, yet again he was dragged off with the impotent Shola coming on. Gouffran might not be ‘the’ answer but surely he’s a better bet to stay on the pitch than many others.

We’re playing a team that haven’t won away from home all year, we’re one nil up, we’re playing OK and Pardew decides after 63 minutes to close up shop and defend for half an hour in an effort to get our first victory of the calendar year.
