I hope the owners don't get blinkered into not making a change due to Pardew's history as a player with the club. We have a horrific run in this season after April, if we continue too long not seeing the full picture then we are in trouble. Also Pardew's tenure has seen ups and downs but ultimately a defeat at Watford and we are no further forward when he joined.

Just to buck the trend on this subject what choice does he have at the moment with our depleted squad.You all moaned when we were letting hatfuls of goals in now we are not,we cannot go gung ho attacking against the likes of Man U,Chelsea,Arsenal with the quality of players at their disposal we would be ripped apart.Today was the first game since West Ham home that we havn't scored a goal,just to remind you all Chelsea have only conceded two,yes,two goals in their last eleven matches.
In the January window we have to sign at least two quality players to strengthen the squad before we play the other strugglers at Selhurst.
As for not going to suupport the team whether you want Pardew out or not is not what we should be about.The players it has to be said give it their best and deserve our loyal support.

Scoring goals isn't a problem. Remember Murray couldn't get in the Bournemouth team either.

Gayle could not hold down a place under several managers. Arguably not suited to one up front and apparently (I have only read this so could be wrong) misses a fair few chances in each game.

Just passing? We did a fair bit of that today. You should have gone. Unfortunately, I couldn't attend. I streamed it. We had more than half the possession. Against a team that were 6 points clear at the top of the league. They managed one moment of brilliance. Everything else?, well we stopped them doing that. An all round very good performance by us.

But that is not enough for the out brigade. They (and you) expect us to keep out the league leaders, and nick a goal on the break. To a team who have lost 2 games this season.

Systematically dragged down by the lawmakers

This is what I don't get. He's not Wright, Bright or Geoff Thomas.

Pardews history with the club is a smokescreen, nothing really to do with why he is here. He is an experienced Premier manager, there aren't many around who we can get as a manager. The job market is full of failed managers, by definition that why they are free.
It is difficult to name any manager, who has progressed their club with the exception of Howe and Dyche, who would be remotely interested in coming here.
