concentrate and learn, if your goalkeeper takes most of your freekicks, it tells you your team don't play continuously, a lot of teams gets awarded freekicks in their own half opts to play it short using outfield players to take it which they pass to another player thats near. what we do is. we stop, push men forward and until every player is ready and in their position, our goalkeeper then punts the ball long. not saying other teams dont play it long. a high percentage of our freekicks happens this way. understand.

its called hoof typing.

a high percentage of our freekicks are taken by Krul. says it all.

you got to think though, when was the last time we actually took a freekick quickly? lol every freekick we get automatically becomes a goalkick , everybody stops, centre backs run all the up the pitch and keeper hoofs. every freekick no matter where on the pitch, Colo and Willy both run up to meet up with our big boys Cisse and Ba, and keeper hoof. float ball to Willy. set penises. corners. simpson floaters, whats it for?

I find it quite an unbelievable thought that the first team practices "long ball" in training. If they did, we would see an actual pattern of play, and in amongst all the shitness, one or two plays will eventually create chances for us. But even that doesn't happen. I'm pretty sure we don't practice long ball, and that we actually aim to play it along the ground in training. We simply freeze when we're out on the pitch, and resort to the good old hoof. You can see Ba, Cisse et al during the game asking for the ball to be played to their feet. All the time. what? really? hahaha what in the hell gave you that idea, you must be as mad as Pardew. thats probably what Pardew sees in his imaginary world. Well aren't you a most condescending little prick. You'd think there would be a f***ing ruckus at the club if we practiced "long ball" as our primary mode of attack! Maybe we do, but I refuse to believe it as I just don't see anyone being that stupid at NUFC including Pardew. Our current plight reminds me of Souness and his mantra about having a group of good players and just telling them to go out there and play. lol wake up and smell the coffee, you clearly been brought in and sold by the salesman Pardew just like he sold it to his players. You dont believe we practice long balls? why is it even when we are winning, you see players like the captain colo blast long balls? why does simpson keep launching them in time after time after time, regardless of the scorelines??? why does, every time we get awareded a freekick, instead of putting the hand over the ball and play it quick, every player but the keeper pushes up to receive the long kick. why does every goal kick that Krul receives, regardless of what the scoreline is, he waits for all the players to push up to receive the long ball? why does pardew always have two tall strikers in his line-ups regardless of what formation he plays, i.e, shola, best, ba, cisse being out on the wings in 4-5-1 so they can recieve the long ball on their heads? its got f*** all to do with them freezing out on the pitch lol dont be so naive man.

what really confuses me about Pardew's brand of football, direct long ball style is You would think with all the long balls they practice in training that would at least some of it might shine through during set pieces? Why does it not? It;'s weird . Then i think about it??? We can't actually play any decent long balls most of the time can we? it mostly ends straight back to the opposition and rinse repeat. That explains it then. Just awful.

f***ing pointless with these transfer rumors. if we could sign Lionel Messi and all Pardew would do is lump balls at his head all day long.

Being a football manager must be brilliant, we can just blame the players for everything and the manager has absolutley no responsibility for team performance. Why are the players being allowed to do what the hell they want? If they are ignoring him, why isn't he, the manager, doing something about it? Being a football player must be brilliant, we can just blame the manager for everything and the players have absolutely no responsibility for team performance. Pardew, obviously has to take some of the blame and if the team were playing well, but were losing because of his ridiculous decisions then he would have to take the majority of it, but they're not they're playing like a bunch of f***ing clowns and that's why we're losing games. I can't think of one game where the majority of the team have played well, can you? People always absolve the players from blame and never the manager, but the reality is it's down to both of them to a greater or lesser extent. The only debate is about the balance of blame/praise and in my view that has to come down on the side of the players, the vast majority of whom aren't playing anything like as well as they did last season and until at least some of them are it's pretty much impossible to judge Pardew's performance. People seem to think that he's telling the likes of Cisse to be offside every single time, etc, and as always people are looking for a scapegoat and the anti-Pardew bandwagon is well and truly rolling. The ironic thing is that most of the people jumping on to it are the same people who were singing his praises the most last season. no it's usually down to the manager because... when one player plays badly you blame him, two players play badly you blame two of them for playing badly. when a whole fucking team all of sudden plays badly., and continues match after the match, you start to ask who should be making them play better the manager.

its baffling that he's so tunnel vision in 4-4-2. the line-up vs southampton on paper was exactly a 'grinding-out-results' line-up, you got that flat back four and a flat four midfield infront to protect, two defensive midfielders protecting the two centrebacks, two industrial widemen in Jonas and Fergie protecting the fullbacks. yet.... we looked anything but solid. we were opened at will, thats disturbing considering there arent too many players in that line i would call shrinking violets or big time charlies. That tells you something that there is something fundamentally wrong in communication between the players and the manager/coaching team. at time the players didnt know what they were doing, or they were simply ignoring the instructions of the manager, thats how it looked to me, i believe the players were ignoring the instructions of the manager. watch the game and you will see the players disregarded the shape of what pardew likes to cement in his team, the 4-4-2, throughout the match you can see it looked like 2-6-2 when the players got faustrated and decided to abandon the rigid shape, fullbacks pushed forward and the wingers pushed in , we saw many times jonas and fergie running into the middle of the park simply because they went looking for the ball. thats another reason why i think fergie was subbed because he was not keeping the pardew turgid shape of staying outwide. to sum up what the most disturbing thing about the line-up, the flat two banks of fours, that was the most defensive line-up we put out for a long long time, and Pardew put that out against the team in southampton which had the worst defensive record in the whole league sitting in the relegation zone,. yep ,,, you could say at least he swallowed his pride and gave the opposition the respect , and then there's the complete lack of optimism, ambition, foresight to go forward with his own team. He practically set his team up to go there for a draw and ended up getting battered, the scoreline flattered him really.

you think with the little crisis we are falling in, Pardew is still going to persist in starting Ba and Cisse up top??? because it will take a crisis for him to realize. before the game at southampton , every fucking one of us knew that, if Cisse is fit he's going to be upfront with Ba and it won't work.

every god damn player in every team we played against this season has looked the business vs us. i mean seriously even with a full strength squad there would only be three changes in the line-up vs Southampton. And no i dont think we should have the god given rights to beat teams like southampton everytime but!.... hba, cabaye, colo, missing yes they are very important players, but that still EIGHT of our first teamers (purple players) that still started. we should not look as dire as that with just 3 players missing vs a team that has the worst defensive record in the whole league. completely unacceptable.

fair enough, but if Carver is a stronger character would he say like " err pards the hoofing is not working what do i do now?"

half a turd then. words directly from John Carver "Put simply, Alan concentrates on how not to lose and I then find ways to win.“ http://www.newcastle-online.org/nufcforum/Smileys/Newcastle-Online/pardsgrin.png

yeh and pardew gets none. whats your point?

Carver was assistant here during our best spell for years, I don't see anything in his past to suggest that he's at fault for what we're going through now. he's in charge of organizing our attacks is he not, Carver said it himself he is the one that works on how to break down the opposition, so he's partly to blame for the hoof ball. i know its sad that a manager like pardew who gets paid thousands of pounds can't handle organizing both defense and attack, but thats besides the point.

get lost, shows how much you know, with your stupid response.

most people would agree he deserves until the end of the season but at what cost? we let him stay til after january, one or two small signings, then the window closed. isnt that too late to sack the guy, the new man can't make any changes in personel plus he would have to work with the same turds such as Carver and Co. You know we can never get rid of those cretins who just keeps clinging on or keeps coming back.

you get manager of the year award.

Pardew, "hey yohan did you speak to sissoko and debuchy for me again?" Cabaye "hey look where we are you t***"

well a lot of people have guessed there's no way Ashley would had handed out 8 years contract without clauses included.

"we need the help from the best fans in the world now" patronizing tit. translates = please dont call for my head already

he's still banging on about thursday matches, fuck off. a lot of our shit performances comes after home games on thursdays, not like we had to travel anywhere.

Still bothering to watch football? i need to some how erase that shower i just witnessed.

the kebab man last week told me the toon was going down, why didn't i believe him.
