It seems they are to be increased and extended from 2 years to 4 years. Seems a bit odd to me and not helpful to CCC teams trying to get promotion.

For a very long time

He always looks happy when the cameras are on him and seems to be enjoying his time with us...so I hope that continues!

LOL, perhaps he would have had "instant success" if he had substituted some rumpy pumpy for a fag

The weather?

Bit harsh I think. Okay, he wasn't the player that he looked to be at Hearts, but he was still a decent player.

(As a confirmed drinker) you could argue that why should people who don't reguarly put toxins (boooze, fags, drugs) into their bodies subsidise the healthcare of people who do.

I think that a lot of people would still pay that, and in the longer run it would save money for the NHS (and save lives so people pay tax longer). It anyone tried to get a licence to produce tobacco (and booze) now it would never happen. It is odd that the Government are happy to take money from things that harm or even kill people but they don't want to legalise prostitution. You could argue that it would be a far better world if people were having more sex and reducing the amount of toxins they were putting into their bodies.

IN what Universe do you think any of what you write makes sense. I have been 100% behind Pardew from day 1 so what should I have a problem with the fact that he is doing so well. If you bothered to read anything I have posted I have supported him even when your hubby was slating him for losing to "lesser" teams. For your information I have never said that delivereing this year was not possible, just unrealistic after the start we had. It is still a tall order by the way. Not once did I say that it will take 3 years. I said that it took Lawrie Mac three years to get us back up and that people like Alpine would have called for his head long before he succeded. If you are going to engage in a debate, have the decency to get your facts right. By the way, I am not the least bit sore about Pardew being successful and can't believe where you have conjured that little gem up from. Like your buddy you have your own agenda and live in your own little cocoon. I am going to watch Shameless now so at least I won't have wasted the whole evening.

Christ you really do take the biscuit. If anyone comes on constantly and proves with every post that he believes the world is black and white it is YOU! By the way, if it wasn't for the -10 points we would be sitting pretty in the play off spots, something you keep conveniently "forgetting". Oh, and if your mate Mr Fry is reading this...please note where he says "no one is calling for AP's head YET" Hardly a ringing endorsement of a manager who has given us our best season for years.

Just put the tax up to £25 per packet of coffin nails and give all the cash to the NHS. Simples.

Oh its you again having another misguided shot. Obvioulsy you don't read the threads very carefully. That thread was not if we should sack Pardew but when. Go and read it. If you haven't read the posts from people telling us when we should sack Pardew if he doesn't produce in their timeframe you are truly living in the same rarified , has criticised him for a lack of ambition (go figure) and rarely wastes an opportunity to have a pop at him. Tell me, are you Mrs Alpine?

Kelvin Davis took an awful lot of stick when he first came but fair play to him, he turned things around.

You have hardly been his biggest fan have you? And have you forgotten already the Not If But When we sack him thread or the threads after he won the cup telling us that if we weren't certs to go up by next Christmas he should be on his bike. Hardly a ringing endorsement.

I wonder how much longer it will take AP to win over the doubters? Great result to go with many others this season. Goal difference only 2nd to Norwich now. Top man doing a terrific job for us. Perhaps now all this sack him next Christmas nonsense will stop and he will get the support he deserves.

Gone a bit quite on this thread. Amazing what a 5-1 away win can do. And Norwich lost at Leyton Orient....didn't Pardew get slagged for only drawing with them...is the penny beginning to drop yet?????

What was that about lack of ambition? Following on from Pardew's pronouncements in the Echo his team delivered big time. Perhaps now he will get the support he deserves?

Address the "real issues" or just deal with those nasty foreign people who have no right to breath the same air???

What on earth are you talking about and what planet do you inhabit? The same one as your mate Alpine? Where do I say that everyone should be rubbish for three years exactly? I just point out that the likes of you and your mate would be calling for McMenemy's head after one season on Div 2 football because neither of you has one ounce of patience. Christ, and I paid £5 to read this nonsense.

I would suggest that the attacks on Pardew are nonsense and the fact that certain people on here are talking about getting rid of him at Christmas next year if we aren't world beaters despite the fact that this season isn't over yet!!!!

Because every silver lining has a cloud.......the point was that some (like you) were harping on about us not beating teams above us...which we now have done. Still, we are not at home to Mr Postive are we?

Still no support for the manager again I see. What constitutes a "whiff of failure" in your book? Not winning every game? We won again on Saturday you know. We beat Charlton. One of the better sides in this league. Still you carry on having wet dreams about Kenny Jacket. The sad thing is Alpine, it doesn't matter who manages us, you will always find fault with them becase that is your way. Oh by the way. MLT thinks we have the best manager in our division. You might want to start slagging him off too. p.s. We won a trophy at Wembley and are still within a shout of the play offs (which is where we would be without the minus 10) but do feel free to carry on your pathetic agenda about a "lack of ambition".....

My sentiments exactly. It should not even be an issue now but there is an element of the fan base who hav itchy fingers and can't wait to see yet another manager go. Doesn't make the slightest bit of sense.

So people can't complain and express their disgust when others go too far? I didn't complain about the Ross/Brand debacle but with daughters of my own found it sickening. I use to help with a Downs child a few years back and can imagine why people get upset when someone goes out to get a cheap laugh at their expense. So you know what to expect from people like him, does that make it okay?
