  1. Total forgot Alan Smith even existed
  2. Interesting, not sure I agree. I think Rodgers genuinely went about learning how to play a brand of football he admired and believed in. I watch Liverpool, and they are playing far better stuff than they were under Dalglish. Suarez who many said wasn't a finisher last season, now looks even better, and is scoring more, from the better chances he is getting. Also, youngsters are coming into the team, and are being given the freedom to play, and are performing. He's hardly spent anything, and imo is moving the team to a better place than they were last year under Dalglish. If you look at the two managers Rodgers is the one that deserves more time, if anything, because the football is better, and he is clearly able to get his ideas across. Also, the talent in the academy is actually being utilised now, and is clearly being developed. What does Pardew have to show for himself? 5th place finish, in his first full season in charge? EDIT: Manager of the Year, too. :lol: Some people on here man.
  3. Think if we did get rid of Pardew at some point I think given the set up of the club and MA's stratergy we'd benefit more from a head coach type, rather than a manager.
  4. And replace him with? Anyone Try again. Replace him with who? Anybody So you want the manager sacked yet cant bring up any suitable successors? Exactly how we ended up with Souness. There isnt many managers that would leave their stable job to come here, with little money to spend, under this board. E.g Laudrup. Someone suggested Clough!? The Derby fans wanted him gone at the start of the season man Martinez the only viable suggestion so far, even then Wigan hardly play the most inspiring football year on year. All of these folk saying Pardew should go are the ones failing to list a viable replacement. It's not my decision to make, it's Ashley's. So blabbing about who you want is just a waste of breath imo. By that logic blabbing on about whether Pardew should stay or go is a waste of breath too... Cant be calling for him to be sacked and then when challenged for a replacement sit back and say its not your decision to make ffs. Course I can, I just did. Live with it. Then youre providing no solution to the current problem and your argument to get rid of Pardew is invalid. Think you play too much FM Aye, righto. Please explain how you throwing names out of the bag will have a direct influence on what Ashley thinks or decides? Where did I say it will? The fact is you (and others) are sat there calling for Pardew to be sacked yet cant think of a viable replacement. Can you not see whats a bit daft about that?

Free agent, decent manager who likes to play on the ground, whats not to like about him? Same Di Matteo that was sacked from West Brom? His only big success in management was the CL and the FA cup, which were won playing some of the most negative football ive ever seen. West Brom played the same type of football (sans their current level of success) even when he was sacked. You're going to begrudge him for doing what he did against Bayern Munich with the team he had? They were still struggling and looked like relegation candidate when he was sacked. Hodgsons appointment ended up looking like a masterstroke. Not begrudging him at all, just saying if youre going to appoint him on the basis his teams play good football, then you can disregard his time at Chelsea. Appointing Di Matteo would hardly be a leap forward anyway.

  10. If he's sacked we won't have to pay much compo. He has an 8 year contract...

  13. Ridiculous thread by the most ridiculous poster on this forum. Replace him with who exactly?
  14. Fuck it. We'll win 3-1 and look like the side from last season. No basis for this like but thats whats gonna happen.

    Alan Pardew

    OK, name them. Me, can't stand the bloke. Thought he was a crap manager when he arrived, thought he was crap manager last season, think he's a crap manager now. I don't do knee jerk. Did you, Sir, remain flaccid when we played like a dream at the Hawthorns, or shrugged and emitted a "flukey win, that" when we beat Man U, or did you by any chance lay there counting till ten in a missionary position as he took us to our first 5th place finish in years thinking, "oh he'll be done soon enough?" I ask because I don't know how you have to be knee-jerk to give credit where it's due. One can be sans any kind of jerking, knee or otherwise, simply by reacting as a human being to what's being put in front of you. He was hardly a crap manager last season, and to say otherwise is using hindsight to simply back your own opinion on him. I never rated him highly when he arrived either, but I'm putting my fingers where the keyboard is and saying after last season, I have at least some amount of faith in him, and that he may just turn this around, the silver-haired fox. I could be wrong, but adults make choices and take stances where they could possibly turn out to be wrong, but they do so based on evidence (for me that is evidence of last season, not this season -- just to clarify). Thoroughly agree with this. Ive got the faith in Pardew to turn this rut around. I dont think we'll have a fantastic season by no means but we wont have a season that will warrant Pardew the sack. Just praying he can reinstall the character we showed last season, I refuse to believe he lacks the managerial ability to do that. Some of the knee jerking in this thread is cringeworthy like. No way back if we lose to Southampton? Lost the dressing room and the fans? give over man.
  16. We're going to get to the final. Mark my words.
  17. First time in a good while I can't see past a turgid performance and a loss to what is shit opposition. Really not looking forward to this one and I get the impression the players aren't either. Desperately need a win, however I just can't see it.
  18. Carr needs to stop recommending players that Pardew can't utilise then. So anyone who's actually a good footballer then.
  19. Dont hold a great deal of hope for this lad. 23 and cant get anywhere near the starting 11 at the minute. Having played 80 competitive games already in his career I cant see playing in the reserves every week is going to develop his supposed potential either.
  20. Evra in there!? Despite him being horrific this year Fucking Fifa man, has their ever been a sporting body so out of touch than that rabble.
