I've noticed my Geordie friends on facebook have gone very quiet suddenly, after posting their initial disgust of the sacking. I'm guessing they're currently torching the Stadium of Light and/or Mike Ashley's home to cheer themselves up right now.
Newcastle part company with Hughton

Pardew isn't a bad manager at all. In the long run he will probably be a better appointment than Hughton.
However, to stick him on a five and a half year contract is.... madness! He's not good enough to guarantee that he will be worth a five and a half year contract, not just on the pitch but off it.
The rumours for him leaving Southampton are that he was making moves on Jose Fonte's wife and all of the players were disgusted by it, so he lost the dressing room and had to go. I also heard his departure from West Ham was very similar, making Rob Green stay behind for extra training so he could go home and bang his Mrs. Pretty poor show if its true!

Mike Ashley most know something we don't.
I don't think it's fair to say Pardew is a bad manager but a six year contract suggests a very, very reputable coach. I guess we'll find out soon enough.
Seems too obvious doesn't it? That's it all going to go up in the air? Maybe we'll be wrong after all this criticism.

Mike Ashley knows jack ****.
Pardew is a casino buddy of Ashley's and Ashley's past history choosing managers hasn't been too great has it?
I don't know whether you're firing back at me or just commenting in general but I was being sarcastic when I said "Mike Ashley must know something we don't."

No mate. I wasn't having a go at you. Just a general comment on Ashley.
I'm half hoping it's another disaster for Newcastle. I know it's cruel but there's nothing better than hearing moaning Geordie's on football phone in's!

Micky Quinn has just been on talkSPORT and I'm sure I even heard him say he hopes Newcastle get battered on Saturday!

If thats what it takes to get rid of Ashley,Lambias and Pardew then so be it,always been behind a new manager in the past but not this time.

Yeah I was listening and heard that myself. To be fair, he is a scouser!
