@NUFC: 8' - #NUFC are set up in a 4-2-3-1 in the opening stages, with Gouffran, de Jong and Cisse off Shola Ameobi. Anita in at right back. #NEWSWA

So much pace ...

Just seen the team. I mean come on 

I'm pretty certain at this point that I'm a better manager than Pardew.

He's bonkers.

I'd rather we got a 22 year old Andy Cole back, aye?

 

How old is Beckford now?

 

What's the whole Cole/Beckford deal? Seen it a few times, no idea what's going on

Beckford is Cole's nephew.

Nigeria's year IMHO.

I hope we get ruined. This is Gary Monk's Swansea by the way. This guy only just stepped off the pitch and into the manager's position, and he already sounds scared of him.

Pardew is the absolute lowest of the low. Honestly feel like he may well be the worst manager in the league.

I detest Allardyce like you wouldn't believe, but at least he never sounded like such a pathetic loser.

I mean this tlak must actually give other team's a lift!

Really seems that if Pardew remains he will be supported with players more in the mould of what he has been droning on about.

Should make for an all around horrific season next year.

Yeah, great quotes. The game is so cynical nowadays. Wonder if anyone still thinks that way.

It really repulses me when you hear people like Allardyce drone on about nothing but the result mattering. It's just absolute nonsense.

It's still supposed to be entertainment, and every fan wants to see their team, or at least some of their players play with some freedom and flair.

Giroud always the nearly man.

 

Nearly right.

 

They have nothing upfront. Giroud is a plodder, and isn't classy enough.

 

Soz

They have nothing upfront. Giroud is a plodder, and isn't classy enough.

 

Thanks guys.

Giroud always the nearly man.

Podlski man, great left foot. If he gets a shot off it always looks good to threaten the goal.

They have nothing upfront. Giroud is a plodder, and isn't classy enough.

So shit man.

Really can't stand Giroud. Unbelievably frustrating player. Just such a dufus a lot of times.

"A new word has entered the Geordie vocabulary: Pardewed. To be Pardewed involves having all the creativity crushed out of you. Increasing numbers of Newcastle United fans believe its victims include several members of the club's first-team squad.

 

Moussa Sissoko, Yoan Gouffran and Sylvain Marveaux are seen as good examples of a process that Hatem Ben Arfa is, rather forlornly, rebelling against."

 

Get in. One of the few times she's done something good.

WOW! 

Actually put in the full definition of Pardewed with examples of players who have ben affected.

That is glorious. Absolutely glorious.

Not this again ...

@GFN_France: France Football: Hatem Ben Arfa and Alan Pardew have made up, Newcastle will not be transfer listing the player, they say. #NUFC

Ha ha ha ha ha ha 

He heard the Ben Arfa chants and realises the fans still have his back, despite all of the negative spin, and is now trying to get him back on side.

Pardew man, so pathetic.

"I'm still angry" 

Such a pleb.

I can't get over the "but he doesn't try hard enough" remark after it was brought to his attention that he assisted our last goal. As if trying on it's own wins matches, as if assisting and scoring doesn't come under "trying". f***ing retard.

It's such an awful mentality.

I do hope the players whinged badly when Cabaye refused to play for us, so that they aren't hypocritical b******s as I assume they are.

Ha! Good point. I bet they didn't dare.

How would he even know what Keegan's like?

Well Keegan never signed him from a league 2 team's bench, so of course he's a poor manager.

The huge irony in all of this, is that I have not watched one game Hatem has featured in, where he isn't one of the best players out there 

Pardew basically needs poor players who are eternally grateful to him, like Elliott, to be his henchmen in the dressing room. They will take everything he says as gospel, because they're just happy to be there. They'll happily feed his ego no end.

That's why he keeps begging for these sorts, who won't question his awful approach to the game.

If as Elliott says, the players hate Hatem, and don't think he works hard enough, it's because Pardew has convinced them all of this, by blaming Ben Arfa for all of his inadequacies.

 

Funny thing is though, they're even worse without him in the side, and so the players are going to start feeling pretty stupid, when it becomes clear that having a bunch of track backers isn't making much of a difference to their horrendous form.

 

 

 

I basically said well look we've not scored in 4 games, guess who set our last goal up?

 

'Yeah, but he doesn't work hard enough.'

 

Are you f***ing kidding me man?

 

I also told him that Pardew's a charlatan that's scared to play football and it's the best squad we've had in 10 years. I said a real manager with attacking intent would get the best out of our players. Somebody like, Keegan. He then told me that Keegan is a poor manager who had no respect from the players. I nearly f***ing raged at this point.

 

His argument was that the Newcastle fans think they deserve to be in the Champions League. I disagreed.

 

'Where should we be then' He asked.

 

I replied just a bit of fight and trying to play games with intent and who knows we might finish 5th again.

 

'Na, he says. 8th or 9th is our level.'

 

Great belief there lads. Well done! You've got as high as our level. I'm sure Rodgers tells the Liveprool lads 4th is enough and they don't need to go for the title

My God ...

So Pardew has genuinely got the players thinking they shouldn't even aspire to anything more than "their level of 8th or 9th".

It's just not crap he says to the cameras, he actually preaches this stuff to the players. The guy is criminally bad at football management.

No surprise that the manager has constantly complained about having too many foreigners, and now the English players are following suit.

A manager of a football club should never say such things, or at least not publically or to the other players. What kind of team spirit is that ever going to build?

Even Sterling has been rotated out recently. HBA would get in.

Yup Rodgers has regularly alternated between Sterling and Coutinho. He does a good job of playing them all.
