That's that then. Disappointed for Barcelona but the team of the season has won the league. Deserving champions

Aye. Some second half. Not many chances but the intensity is mental

Wow. Barca haven't appeared for the second half

Should get interesting as the players start to tire. Atletico have to go for it

Big team getting the decisions again. Shocking

Freakin hell Alexis. Incredible strike.

Turan off too. Not looking good for the CL final

He's got more to be worried about than you. I was born in the gulf, live in Pakistan, and make frequent business trips to Afghanistan. Phones been going crazy today.

No. Barca Atletico is on at the same time! Followed by Bayern v Dortmund for the German Cup

Yeah, we're essentially looking for a winger who can be a second full back even if he's useless going forward.

Bent ffs

Linked with Berahino. Decent prospect.

Yes but Im pretty sure other clubs will be interested in him.

Not a chance in hell. Gomis on a free is far more likely.

Puyol out for Saturday. He's played his last for the club then. Another legend retiring this summer. Finest 'footballing' centre back of his generation imo.

My news feed on social sites is full of people, nufc fans supposedly, being content with Pardew and his master. Reasons cited such as stability, and its not 'Mike's fault but the people he employs' and the usual' there's no one better' argument. I hope the opinion on the streets is a bit more sensible. Its doing my head in, when will people decide enough is enough? What more could these pricks possibly do?

We're not playing in the cups remember? And if we manage to secure survival by December again then it'll just be another 6 month season. I have now no doubt whatsoever that this is exactly what will be going through the minds of the board.

I dont think fan protests are completely useless, the sort that went on against Cardiff followed by demonstrations outside the ground each game week. Pardew getting booed the second he shows his face in the stadium. How long do you think they can take it? If things keep going the way they've been for the past 6 months Pardew will have lost the dressing room by September, if he hasnt already. Pile on top of that this type of supporter pressure and even Ashley will have to take notice. He wont just sell up of course but it may get rid of the manager which might bring some relief and send out the clear message that the supporters have had f**king enough and are ready to take up arms. The way Pardew was treated against Cardiff, any other guy with an ounce of decency would have quit the next day. A few weeks treatment like this and he'll have to be sacked if he doesnt leave.

Add to that that its the job of the board to ensure that the team is capable of competing on all fronts. If its not, they've failed. So they're basically saying we're not even going to try and perform one of our basic most important tasks. The bastards should be taken to court for breach of fiduciary duty or something like that.

Will be interesting to see the response from the terraces next season. I cant help but think if we spend 25M and get 3-4 new players, which Ashley will likely sanction in order to fight off the threat of relegation, most people will become optimistic again forgetting everything's that happened and that such an amount would only be a fraction of the needed investment considering our net spend in previous years and the TV money.

8 finals, you cant blame them. Its horrific.

Cant wait for Atletico to stuff it in your fat faces

Barcelona. The manner of their resurgence under Rijkaard. The ridiculous Ronaldinho. And because I dont think there's a better player to watch than this little fellow in full flow
