Brazil are in a terrible state. Going into their own World Cup with their worst squad since 90 or 74. We sure are in terrible state, but our national team still consists of many good players. We havent ha this big of a talent like Neymar since Ronaldo emerged into the European stage in 94/95. We have finally got the type of player we have sought for so long in Ganso, and we have the worlds best defensive 4 if we didnt persist on giving David Luiz time on the pitch. JCesar/Victor DAlves Silva Dede Marcelo Sandro Ramires Hernanes Ganso Neymar Damiao Is on paper one of the strongest squads in the world, Id say only Spain have a stronger first eleven than that (Argies defense is worse than Swedens ffs). Problem is, most of you have never seen Dede, Ganso, Leandro Damiao or Neymar play so know very little of them. We are very good, but its a young team and a very disjointed and a team who plays a bit too defensive.

so what if we don't get the points? Then he's not under pressure? The points are important and the performance isn't. read it again Aye was my point too. At least someone has a sense of intelligence on here woop woop.

thank you for your pointless contribution willow.

He should seriously just shut up. He actually used to be decent at interviews, but of late he seriously looks like he is under real pressure with shite interviews.

Obviously not, however it does prove that this - massive over-achieving - because we were in the Championship two seasons ago is a crap and utter ridiculous argument. Lets just see where they are next season before we start jumping to those conclusions, still a long way to go yet. ? Well we might be relegated next season, whats your point? My point is they havent achieved anything yet, so a bit redundant in using them as a comparison. What have we achieved?

As stated before, we are better than all these teams from 8th to 20th. We should finish 7th, anything else is a failure. Norwich, WBA and Sunderland will probably fight for the number 8th spot, and any of them above us would boil my piss ffs.

This season, top 10 would be progress and top 6 would be unreal. He has managed us into a position where 4th or 5th is achievable, but I don't think it's fair to suddenly revise expectations because of the good job he's done so far. Our squad isn't that good, 3/4 of our first team is. Norwich are 8th. So if they finish above us we should still be happy?

Agree, problem with Pardew is he persists with the mediocre players though. Guthrie or ben Arfa should be ahead of Obertan or even Raylor.

Aye, I made a long post disagreeing on many points Prophet came up with, but felt I might not even bother.

Paid 5k to go to the match = seen extensive highlights = listened on the radio It must be his name, I mean all that is sheer magic.

:lol:

And you wonder why people do? Honestly though parky has been getting my sentiments across nice and gently, in a whole new thread.

Can't believe we are even having the argument Feel like a real dumbass right now, shouldve known better ffs.

I feel like an idiot for having even argued with this man. Fucking hell.

ShearMagic = Christmas tree ? ? ?

I am not going to argue, I have stated what I think of him plenty of times getting showdown, but I must say it f***ing sucks to be right on this subject since I want the best for the club, but it also shows many on here are blind and know nothing of the sport.

I think this is the sentiment most reasonable posters share.

You'll have to ask him that? We should probably ask you though since you seem to know everything.

That's just utter drivel though isn't it? How? Forest in the CC - was average Blackburn in the CC - was poor Man City - showed glimpses/good Man Utd- showed glimpses/good Chelsea - was poor Blackburn in the FA Cup - MOTM QPR (came on in the 24th minute) - virtually invisible Fulham - virtually invisible Brighton - virtually invisible Blackburn - poor QPR is the best game I've seen him play in a Newcastle shirt (I didn't see Blackburn in Cup) Aye dont listen to him, he is clueless. And pulls the general he is not Maradona which no one has ever said or come close to suggest.

But against QPR when he came on we controlled the game. We were utter shite for the first 20mins until he came on, we then scored and were shite again. Against Fulham any creativity or anything positive came from him and him only along with Guthrie. He scored and had an assist. His three worst game has come in three of four cup matches. He has been our best player on the pitch offensively for 4 or 5 games. (two of them against the leagues top team). Im sorry but I dont buy this he hasnt been good enough, because he probably has a higher percentage of good games than anyone in this squad bar Krul, Colo and Ba.

Stop postong.

Got to agree with Jayson. I thought and also hoped Ryan Taylor would have been nowhere near the first team as i didn't rate him at all. But people have to admit, the guy has had a fantastic season and shoved a lot of stick (from me too) down our throats. Gotta give tha lad credit really, but he doesn't get it as he is keeping Ben Arfa out of the team, so he has joined the band of people getting slated. Shit post, he was also the weakest link in our team for many many games, so what is your point? He a lucky charm or something? Fantastic season?
