when something makes too much sense it just never happens with us. not going to happen.

dont know who i love more, king kenny or fat bruce

hahahah

grow up man, Ashley deserves some credit regardless of how irrational your feelings are towards him, after all it is Ashley who brought you Pardew. As for the sign, seriously lads, just get over it. Christ it's like keegan-throw-your toys-out-the-pram-syndrome, "dont like going to St james anymore cus i have to look at the sign"

i thought we already sacked the kid. he's still on our books? oh the shame.

yep , just know it

come on crapburn! do one on them!

get lost with the keegan s***, this is alan pardew's thread for heaven sake. some of you sound as bad as them bin dipping retards and their undying love and obsession for king kenny.

no, we don't have a problem whether we are playing defensive or attacking, or are we demanding to have 'offensive possession.' neither are we bothered about defending a one goal lead. I personally don't anyway. I believe we just want to see less hoof ball. That is the main gripe. There is nothing wrong with playing defensive football, but there are more ways than one to do it, rather than resorting to just hoofing the ball. what is wrong with a team that gets a goal or two and defend it by trying to keep the ball, pass sideways, pass backwards etc? we don't have to go forward. Nothing wrong with that! But we don't even attempt anything like that, instead we make it hard for ourselves by just giving the ball away when we have it simply just hoofing it away to two strikers who aren't target men. then we run around like headless chickens to get the ball back and hoof it back to the opposing team, then the process repeats again rinse repeat.

leave HTT alone, he is a true connoisseur of the game.

Did he really say that? yeah he did, i don't know if we should laugh or cry when your manager comes out with shit like that.

exactly, "8 senior players out" fine the southern media may buy that, but don't insult the fucking fans

nobody is asking for us to play like barcelona , all we're demand is to stop hoofing the ball and try to resemble something that looks like a football team. not asking a lot.

fans saying shit like "its 4-5-1, that must be defensive then" "come on must be 4-4-2"

wow those stats are pretty good, apart from swansea and liverpool the only teams that managed a 5 figure number of successful passes are all in the top five of the table. all the teams i mentioned managed over 11000 successful passes nufc 8440. <---- who cares, hoof ball works , 6th place

Pardew is no fool. He may have praised him in public in an attempt to smooth over any differences they had. ^exactly

^this. The stick Pardew got for Taylor & Obertan ahead of HBA, imagine what it would have been like if Guthrie had kept Cabaye out man. well Pardew didnt give two tosses for the s*** he got over Obertan starting, so he would equally have had no problems starting guth over cabaye if he felt in favour of Guth. dont think crowd favourites had any bearing on Guth being dropped. More like manager's favourite and neglection of player's form.

We're running too much cause we don't keep a hold of the ball when we get it and that isn't due to having bad players it's cause they are INSTRUCTED to hit the front early. that is exactly my point Parky

Saylor is decent, Williamson is s***. That a big difference. btw, LLB, you really sounds like we are a top4 team and playing s*** football that didn't utilize our players and as a result we are not in contention for the 4th spot. Am I getting it wrong? are you nuts? how did you get that impression. my point is, having saylor in the team is not going to change the style of our gameplay.

^this.

people been making some grumbles about how tired our squad look, it's no surprise going by how we play. What we do is we run our selves to the ground because we choose to. Because we refuse to even try to keep the ball and pass it around, we prefer to let the opposition do that instead, whilst we run around like headless chickens trying to break up their play lol when we finally do get the ball we hoof it aka lose the ball or let the opposition have it and then we try to break up their play again, when we finally get the ball, hoof, and then process repeats and rinse repeat.

come on lads lets not use Saylor's injury as a reason for the lack quality of football we play lol Really? One centreback can really dictate that much play? Besides our most technical defender by a large margin is Colo not Saylor.

Don't think he's as bad as some people make out of his off the ball endeavors, he does work hard and put in some superb tackles in yesterday. His natural fitness obviously not quite as great as others in the squad. He is at an age when he needs to play, definitely won't be here next season, he knows Pardew see him as second fiddle to Tiote and Cabaye, plus he knows Pardew favours the 4 man midfield formation so his chances will be minimal. He deserves to move and get some regular football, Good luck to the boy.

thank you for the insight nostradamus now we cant wait for june.

Because we win more games than the teams below us that you never shut the f*** up about. ah that must be it . and for a second i thought the teams below us have been unlucky lol
