If Pardew had any backbone, he'd walk now. But he's too stubborn to admit even that. Enough is enough.

Phil Neville thinks the players should take some responsibility.

I don't think Pards will be able to attract players any more and one of his biggest mistakes was announcing that Cabaye got £80k a week because he was so much better than the others.

He's a fVcking cretin and the aggressive defence of him on this board is a joke.

I do. There's a few factors the hate brigade will cling too, however there are also factors which constantly get ignored in favour of pards. If individual errors are always in the hands of the manager, then there's a case for him to go. If players are accountable then there's little argument imo, that's where the bad luck has come in (injuries, disruption, lack of balance and quality in squad). It's fine margins football, yet, despite all the good he's done he's getting blasted. It's the culture we live in unfortunately, a results business. A win would have seen us mid table, yet the level of vitriol towards pards is collosal. It's proper mail reading hate campaign stuff, few of you seem balanced within any kind of perspective, nor do you recognise any guaranteed solutions. Even if I thought it may be time to look at a replacement, Id do so with the memory of cup finals, goals and entertainment in mind. Ease off
