  1. The woman who offered them to me is lovely too. Season ticket Palace fan who doesn't know a great deal about football, but loves her team and listened to me with an open mind while I politely told her to enjoy this while she can.

    I wasn't a dick about it. Honestly.

     

    :yikes:

  2. His biggest fault is he is a competent manager who successfully implements Ashleys idea by various means that ultimately hurts the club in the long run.  Normal managers would either quit the job or fail to implement.  Whether the blame is more on Ashley or Pardew is debatable, but his time at palace proves that he is a competent manager and did have ambition.  The Cabaye purchase would not happen if he didnt push for it to the extreme, and it brings them huge rewards. This would never happen to us.

     

    I support the sack pardew campaign for our club's long term future.  That doesnt mean i think he is a bad manager. In fact he is competent, stucked in the middle, which hurt us most by prolonging Ashleys era and maximizing his investment return.  If he is a very talented manager, he could bring us to top 6 despite having limited resources.    If he is a s*** manager, we should have relegated for long and Ashley should sell the club already.

     

    Personally i wont hate him because he is not the one who initiated the idea.  He is just an executor.

     

    So you don't remember us flirting with relegation until the last couple of games of the season while he was in charge? We needed two massive fuck-ups by Bosingwa and Green, and a goal by Tiendalli for Swansea to save our skin. 

  3. This guy man. Such a dissapointment in every way.

     

    Yup. His first few games, that pass to Cisse at Villa and his virtuoso against Chelsea, seem such a long time ago now. So much optimism about him at that time.

     

    He was absolutely awful in that run where we as a team where terrible. Pardew stuck with him as a #10 for the next 20 or so games and apart from 45 minutes against Benfica, he was routinely awful.

     

    Yeah but he was superb in those two games I mentioned. When he first arrived. Giving us hope that we had something really special. When he took Ashley Cole's pants down was one of the most exciting footballing moments at SJP I can remember for a long time.

  5. Agree with a fair bit of what TCD says there but I also do not underestimate the role Pardew played in dampening expectations throughout the club or the fanbase as to what we could achieve on the pitch at any given time. He's a cowardly manager and behaved accordingly, it just so happened that him being a coward fit into the clubs policy of being cheap.

     

    THANK GOD WERE NOT IN EUROPE

  6. Welcome uncle Kloppo.,.

     

    One of my only 3 ever human crushes, after Megan and the Russian sweetheart, Yulia. Jurgen, you're next ,but at least looks like I'm getting you.

    Клопп является новый тренер Ливерпуля #лфс #йнвка

     

    :anguish:

     

    The only thing more cringeworthy will be when they start calling him "Jurgen" 100% of the time. Because it's the Liverpool family of incest and all.

  7. Klopp is the same as Mourinho in a sense that his methods only work for so long, he'll be great for 2-3 seasons but after that it will go downhill.

    You're just saying this because Dortmund had a shocking season last year, right? He won the Bundesliga in 2012, in his fourth year as manager, and went to the CL final in his fifth year there.

    He would be an absolutely amazing appointment for them, it'll be very hard to hate Liverpool with him in charge.

     

    No it won't. Have you seen their fans? They'd just ruin Klopp rather than the other way around.

     

    :thup: This. Don't really want to hate Klopp by association, but it is what it is.

  8. Klopp will bomb at Liverpool,

     

     

    Why?

     

    Think he'd do well myself

     

    Klopp is an excellent manager, but he's nowhere near Ancelotti. He can't be talked about in terms of bringing an almost certain level of success in the same way Carlo can imo. By no means a guarantee that he'll do well.

  9. When the ball was played to Jaanmat the only player in an offside position was Perez in the middle.  Not interfering with play but when the ball was crossed Perez flicked it on to Mitro and he made himself active hence the offside decision to disallow the goal.

     

    Eh? How is that even part of the rules? Perez was nowhere near Janmaat when the ball was played. He was in no way interfering with play, so the new rule shouldn't apply in this case.

  10. Janmaat was a yard on side but aye, that's the only thing I can think of. He was clearly ahead of both Perez and Mitrovic when he played the ball across.

     

    It's a f***ing appalling decision. Not excusing the second half capitulation by any means, but ffs. A deserved 2-0 and it's a different game.

     

    This! Had this argument with many braindead idiots. Not saying we would have gone on to win ffs, but to deny that it would have been a different game had we gone in ahead by 2 goals at HT is just stupid. It wasn't even a borderline decision, or a dubious sending off. It was a clear goal. A well worked move and a finish at the end of it. Boils my piss tbh.

  11. That's comfortably the worst offside call I've ever seen like.

     

    :thup: I don't even understand how it could have been called offside. 

     

    The sort of decision that comes across as completely bent.  Would never have occurred the other way around.

     

    It very clearly is a bent decision like. There is literally no other conceivable reason it was chalked off. Not even incompetence on a grand scale. But we're little old newcastle, so naturally no one questions it or gives a shit.

  12. Dunno if thats Richard Keys station but he is after him

     

    It was him aye. Absolute vile thundercunt. Compared it to Costa's shenanigans with Koscielny :lol: Keys is a braindead fucktard. Wanted Anita sent off as well for the foul on Zabaleta :lol: Hates us with a passion, as he seemed to take so much joy when uttering the word "thumped" at the final whistle round-up.

  13. "The same desire to attack and defend "  :shifty:

     

    Tbf to the cunt, that in its essence is true. It's an overall desire to win the match, which you achieve by a commitment to attack and defend. As a team though. Singling out an individual is ridiculous and shows that he can't manage his team. His management style is what we're witnessing on the pitch with our team at the moment. Small 5 a side battles all over the pitch, waiting for that one magical breakthrough.

     

     

  14. Worse thing about this current malaise is the Pardewites coming out the closet again, we never should have got rid, look at what he's doing at Palace, all you mongs forcing him out etc...

     

    As much as I don't rate Schteve, he really needs to get a serious run on soon and Pardew to return to type so we can finally get that monkey off our back and put to bed this myth that Pardew is some kind of mastermind.

     

    I don't see people advocating Pardew; I do see people saying Pardew, as a manager, not a man, might just have offered more. That's quite staggering but it may well be true.

     

    No one is that stupid

  15. Sissoko-3 :spit:

    :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Oh my god.

     

    Florian THAUVIN 4

     

    Was content to jog around at times as the game passed him by

    :lol: He ran his bollocks off the poor c***.

     

    Nothing went past Colback though. He made 5 interceptions. Neglects to mention that it was probably 5 out of 50.

  16. Has McClaren changed anything midplay yet? Seems totally void of changes.

     

    As in substitutions? Tactical changes? Seems to change systems fairly quickly when needed. But very slow to make subs it seems.

    Aarons was stripped and ready on the touchline for ages yesterday. Watford made a change and the ball went dead at least 3 times more and he was still stood waiting for at least 5 minutes ready to go on.

     

    Yup. Highlights the lack of urgency for me. Even Aarons looked like he couldn't be arsed to come on. Bluestar's post above hits the nail on the head. Even Wijnaldum and Thauvin look totally lost. You'd think as the new unpardewed players, they would shine like a beacon through that pile of shit. Mbemba is really the only player whose attitude I can't fault. Even Ayoze seems a bit withdrawn and ovethinking things, unlike his usual self.
