Fans call for Alan Pardew SACKING as Newcastle slump to Saints defeat
NEWCASTLE UNITED fans have rounded on manager Alan Pardew after seeing their side capitulate to a 4-0 loss at Southampton.
The Magpies boss has failed to win a game this season and at half time of their clash at the St Mary's Stadium boos rang out from the Newcastle end.
It was supposed Pardew had two games to save his job but owner Mike Ashley might now swing the axe before next weekend.

Sick of excuses and negative tactics. What do they do untrainable cos they look like they don't practice how to defend. Awful. #PardewOut
