Slim

Kevin said today Alan Pardew: “But Alan’s a good lad. I know him well, he is very dedicated and he works very hard. The sad thing is that Alan is going in and is getting off on the wrong foot through no fault of his own.” “The supporters won’t be resistant to Alan because of the circumstances of his appointment, though. Any criticism will be leveled at Llambias and Mike Ashley, because it is their decision.” “The fans would be wrong to pick on Alan. Obviously if results don’t go well then they may start to voice discontent, but Alan is just the meat in the middle of the sandwich here.” Rob Lee: Alan Pardew isn't my choice but he's doing a good job Is Alan Pardew a good football manager? This is a question I have been asked once or twice over the years. It’s a difficult one for me to answer. After some consideration I would say that, yes, on the whole he is a good manager. His overall results make a strong case for this assertion. Pardew is a good organiser of a team. We rarely get battered, although it has happened, and everyone seems to know their jobs. His first full season was an unqualified success. The fans and media loved him. He was voted manager of the year by his peers. Last time out was more difficult, although much of that was down to the lack of transfer business. And this season has been more than OK. It’s always a bumpy road that Newcastle United wander down. It’s never smooth. He has handled most of it really well and yet there are many supporters who just can’t take to him. Some back him, but I would guess the majority will never like the guy no matter what he does, and the rest can’t make up their mind. That’s down to the actual club and where we stand right now. Because the fans don’t like the owner and quite a lot of what has happened in and around Newcastle United in recent months, this ill feeling is defected onto Pardew and it’s hardly his fault. I do feel sorry for him to a degree. Pardew has to keep the fans happy, as well as Mike Ashley. Now considering those two parties seem to be constantly bickering, how does one man keep the two factions onside at the same time? That’s nigh on an impossible job for a human being. Pardew also has a third task, to win football games. His hands are pretty full. Managing Newcastle United is a wonderful honour, but is also bloody difficult. So I take my hat off to anyone – well nearly anyone – who takes on that job. I have a feeling that we are going to have a good season and if that were to happen, much of the success comes down on the manager. I know we say every season that it’s a strange league, but this year really is. We have a chance of doing really well and nobody will be more pleased than me. But no matter what, Pardew will never win over them all.

Still amazing how Pardew got him over the line. Look at the quality he has bought for little money...Wenger mk2

I'd go. Yeah and I am going to ask him to explain to you why Pardew is the 3rd best manager we have had.

Any one get a clip of that turn..better than messi

Looks like they are from amatures exploited website Beer prices are a rip off also no crack spices boys serving just hate the place and all the people who work there.

Fucking sick that..Only person I could think of who would want a Savile scarf is Ian W

If anyonce would like to go out for a drink I am off the WHQ to see this guy https://soundcloud.com/thereflex/the-reflex-o-the-payback

Is the name staying the same after he is sold?

Even if dont play fooball have to do a monthly meet up

Forgot to say that on the way out some lass went flying down the stairs on her arse. Drink all over and phone flying. She seemed unharmed tho. Also tried to say good night but you were no place to be seen

You must hate Ben Arfa anf Remy then

No point would have never caught him. Also played well seeing who he was aganist.

I think you lot are on the wind up and this is some kind of in joke I missed Had to argue with loads of them in the bar last night. 2014 is not a time for jokes Which you're proving quite admirably. Might as well just wait and see then. But Pardew got us to europe where I hAd the best away game ever. If not for Pardew non of that would be possible. I would be interested to know who you would rather have?

Did stop a goal though

I think you lot are on the wind up and this is some kind of in joke I missed Had to argue with loads of them in the bar last night. 2014 is not a time for jokes

Fell over today

Our squad is crying out for a real target forward. Some big hulking b****** who can hold the ball up and allow the likes of Remy, Gouff, and HBA to cut in from the outside and pick it up. Gomis at the very least could provide that. Got Shola whats your problem

This is consistently hilarious by the way Slim. Keep it up. Kneejerk-Online Not a Joke anyone who was out last night will know my love for him. When he joined I was gutted but has won me over. The fact he can work under Ashley and still get results is very impressive. He has the passion and yes might not be best manager in the world but who would you like to join that would come? People moaned about Bobby Rbson then looked what happened. If it was not for him Southamton would not have the great foundation they built with him siging players like Rickie Lambert and got them first their trophy since 1976. He was only sacked because he fell out with the chairmen. Brought John Carver as assistant manager, who had worked as assistant to Sir Bobby Robson. Led 4–4 with Arsenal one of the most remarkable comebacks in Premier League history. Again siging great players like Yohan Cabaye, Ba, Sissoko,Debuchy and Ben Arfa all amazingly cheap!! Name me a manager that has signed so many players of that quality for that cheap. Won the Premier League Manager of the Season award, becoming the first Newcastle United manager to achieve this and also won the League Managers Association Manager of the Year award, which made him the first and only English manager to win the two individual awards in a single Premier League season. On Match of the Day 2, Pardew stated that Chelsea midfielder Michael Essien "absolutely rapes" Man City player Ched Evans during a midfield tussle for the ball This season shown his bottle to play 2 up front against Chelsea and won 2-0 1-0 Spurs Man U away Deserved at least a Draw today.

Pardew could not help that 1st goal after that we looked like the better team. Glad we have a manager of his ability working for us

No matter waht the score today he has impressed me again today. Since the goal we have come back strong. Love this guy

YOu watching from St Nicks

This match shows me why we need to keep a hold of Pardew for years to come!

Add that to the fact the ref never put his flag up ffs!
