Imagine Winston Churchill and Big Dwight addressing the troops before d-fay "i hope you do it lads" Inspirational! more like reagan telling the troops he hopes they get a result against grenada tbf

This is NEVER a top six team. Top half at a (very hard) push. One striker, one centre half barely worth the name, no creative midfielder. Give over. A good manager would have this lot (including the loanees) top half easily, and challenging for Europe depending on other teams slipping up or not. a good manager would have MYM and HBA integrated into things and pushing for europe, no doubt in my mind whatsoever that's pushing like, i.e. around 7th - 8th with a chance of getting there if things go well, not suggesting this squad could tear the league up or anything

The thing is though he probably could managed them like he has us and still get into the CL. So long as they are in it, winning trophies, and a good share of the old firm derbies then I think most people up there will be happy. not a chance, he'd need to appoint a decent manager and he's consistently shown he has no idea how to do this agree that coming 1st/2nd in scotland is a piece of piss and he could do that on buttons, but getting through the CL groups with another pardew? not a fucking chance

hope is his weapon

if he thinks newcastle is a headache and goes up there to try and run rangers in the same way he's done us he'll get a surprise, someone will try to kill him

aye, it'll be a big guilt trip to get the fans to "support the team"

another deluded cunt

we were gone in that qpr game man, in a fight for our lives and no-one cared less with one game to go...if bosinhwa hadn't literally handed the game to us we'd have probably been down yet pardew survived

how many points did we have at the halfway stage season before last when we nearly went down?

Looks like we'll have to score 3 or 4 to win this then. How this fat mess ever made it as a pro footballer let alone a PL one I'll never know. aye, you do

Leicester (h) Spurs (a) Liverpool (h) West Brom (a) QPR (h) West Ham (a) Burnley (a) Chelsea (h) Arsenal (a) Sunderland (h) Man U (a) Everton (h) before we start with the reverse fixtures We'll be lucky to be on 10 points if we don't beat Leicester, it's that bad. Edit: these fixture lists are allowed nowadays, aren't they? if things go as well as you could reasonably expect you're probably looking at 9-10 points from those games at the absolute, absolute maximum (beat leicester, burnley & QPR then a point somewhere) - but even then that's only 14 f***ing points turning in to the second half of the season we're done What does Ashley not see here? Or what is he seeing that we're not? Surely he's arsed about us going down? It's in black and white, with that run of fixtures he's banking on us making 30 points from the reverse fixtures, when you consider that we couldn't do a 3rd of that so far there's no nails left to put in our coffin. He hasn't got the knowledge of Football to look at those fixtures and see anything, he has to be told what he's seeing by his mates. Pardew will be telling him "its only 7 games" and "but we have injuries and too many new players bedding in". bizarre if a multi-billionaire was completely unable to grasp something so simplistic like, even more bizarre that he's learned nothing from his mistakes when we were relegated last time it seems such an enigma ashley man I don't think he's that blind, he's been involved long enough to recognise a tough run of games. Hes also experienced a relegation and must see the same signs are there. My only thought is he switched and changed so much that season that maybe he sees changing a manager as a risky procedure itself? Half of me thinks he's being stubborn just to piss the fans off, he likes to butt heads, even to his own detriment. for a club that went to the trouble of commissioning research to prove being shit in the cups was actually good for the club you'd have thought they'd have at least had a look at historical manager changes and seen the benefits of making the changes early the problems in the relegation season all came too late; changing early works, hanging on and making late changes rarely does just seems to be a general lack of awareness from anyone but the fans that we're in a relegation battle already and will likely not have 15 points at the halfway point of the season, it's fucking weird

he can only do so much, when we're in january with 15 points or something no amount of PR is going to help

Good grief. “Right now, it’s not about Mike Ashley’s regime or even whether Alan Pardew’s the right manager. what is actually happening in the world, why is alan pardew seemingly enough to overturn +100 years of football tradition and be given a free fucking pass for being a shite manager by virtually everyone? can't get my head around it

Source: http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-united-owner-mike-ashley-7928379 it's the old pardew is a good manager counter-argument really isn't it: Davie, would you be happy having the c*** buy celtic out then? no?...f***ing jog on then My point was that none of what was stated is factually correct. Ashley did not wipe out our debt. He did not hand us £130million interest free and he certainly hasn't backed Alan Pardew, or indeed any other manager, beyond reason. Sure yeah, not disputing that

pardew likely not to be interested in this kid now until cisse stops scoring, which can't be far away tbf

this is it, they spend their lives from the age of probably 10 years old steeped in the culture of football, and that culture is 'closed shop', 'everything behind closed doors'...no-one is ever likely to break the cycle if they possibly have future aspirations in the game as they'll be shunned within it if they do pardew is an interesting case because i genuinely can't recall another manager with so low an ability as a football manager combined with such a reliance (you might even say expertise) on public relations to hide the fact he's a terrible manager....has it happened before? you generally get shit managers thrown to the wolves but pardew is being backed by ashley's PR people and is himself adept at convincing most of our fans he's not to blame shit managers are usually shit at explaining their shitness away but pardew isn't

very good

He aint going to sack him, there's more evidence for Ashley keeping him then there is for sacking him. When will people realise this. He's Ashleys Patsie and he will be here next season. Sure he will be happy to blow £70m on a patsy like.. Only way Pardew will still be here next season is if he starts winning games. Once it becomes blindingly obvious he's getting us relegated he'll be gone patsy or not, just hope its not too late by then. Where in the worst form under pardrew and will be religated. Ashley aint getting rid of him still think the "he doesn't understand football" quote is the truest thing to come out of his mouth in his time at the club, it's so very hard to believe that if ashley understood what he was looking at in terms of who we've played, who we've got to play, the quality of our current first team vs. results and the players pardew has shipped out due to personality issues he wouldn't sack pardew like i mean apparently 1,000's and 1,000's of our own paying fans seem incapable of comprehending our impending fate so it's feasible ashley doesn't either the alternative is he's willing to gamble potentially 100's of millions just to keep pardew as a mouthpiece/patsy for no apparent reason, it simply can't be true

We'll beat Leicester now mind, no doubt about it.

(a) didn't Keegan say that jiminez was a total gobshite whose only link to football was selling shirts or something? And (b) I'm truly, truly starting to believe that the truest words that ever came out of Pardews mouth (and reportedly almost got him sacked) was the "he doesn't understand football" quote And © Llamblias handed Pardew the 8 year contract, he's obviously going to express surprise at the idea of sacking him
