Fucking hell.

And I really can't see anything other than a 2-0 defeat.

Chris Hughton was born in Forest Gate in London and was loved by the fans here. It's total rubbish.
Has nothing to do with where people come from it's to do with their lack of ambition.
Pardew won't quit btw, he has way too much of an ego to do that - he really thinks he can turn things round
I think we'll win with an unconvincing performance like we did vs Cardiff the last time this happened.

That's exactly why I think he'd quit after trashing Hull. It'd be glorious

There is the "fat Cockney bastard" stuff for Ashley but I've not seen hatred for Pardew based on geographic origin and more on his ability, or lack of it.
Seeing as Gale is evidently a fan of Pardew, he is clearly going to come up with some bollocks out of his arse to defend him. He was co-commentator on the international feed of the Southampton game and he was irritating to listen to.
I'm not sure about London hatred from other teams. Hatred for people from other nations (especially certain clubs owned by wealthy Russian, American and Arabian owners), maybe, but not as much on regional geography.
Shola
Not that it's the big issue here.

Only time there was anything significantly negative was when Cisse was brought on for Riviere. Seemed the right sub to me,
Number 1
As much as I don't want to put too much emphasis on Cisse being back given he's largely been poor since his first half-season, he can't be any worse than Riviere.

Still, be interesting to see if a defeat at Stoke does equal such a move.

Meanwhile, gotta love the fact our 4th choice defender helped (mostly) shut out Sergio Aguero and co in the Champion League last night. By Pardew logic we should be keeping a clean sheet there in the Capital One Cup in a few weeks time.
Poe
He just needed time and wasn't given it.

Yeah but Roma have option to buy for a knockdown fee, and given Rudi Garcia already likes him, he probably will.
Shola
I said he should drop Cabella for Obertan. And now I'll look like (more of an) idiot when Newcastle get beat 176-0 later. Pardew OUT!.
Number 1
I only watched the last 40 minutes but from what I saw, Sissoko was utter shite, Obertan seems to be bouncing back after spending the last two seasons in exile, Sammy Ameobi looked decent when introduced, 2011/12 Cisse might have been found again, and we did cause Swansea's defence legitimate problems.
Bet Ashley fires Pardew anyway just for the lolz.
Shola
At least Obertan and Sammy managed to get actual crosses over. Cisse's goals were tremendous today.
Also well played Pardew for showing some balls today. And being willing to drop players.
Number 1
Sissoko is a problem, and he probably justified dropping with the error that led to the goal by Routledge. I don't think we know what his best position is, and I'm not sure he knows anymore either. Cabella also has to be figured out given he's our £12million mega-buy but he has looked almost entirely anonymous, or panicky when a shooting chance goes his way (which happened at least 4 times vs Hull).
There is also still the defence question mark, and as much as it maybe too soon to throw in someone like Remie Streete or Curtis Good, Coloccini and Williamson really need to wake the fuck up.
Poe
Coloccini was our worst player on Saturday I thought - doesn't look interested for some reason.
Cisse though
Number 1
Obviously its easy to feel this is bait laid by a former Ashley employee whose haircut makes him look like Hitler without the tache (which is what he did look like in photos), or wonder if Richard Keys is struggling to get guests of repute on BeIN Sports (like I did) but fucking really? This shit again?

I can't really dislike Richard Keys. Just pity. Like a 97 year old Nazi with several medical conditions.
