Routledge + cash for Obertan has to be up there with our worst ever deals! hindsight yes but people have a short memory , we fucking berated Routledge just as much as Obertan

Same here, i cant even touch FM despite my legendary brilliance at it. Football is gay when makes you feel down. at least it hasnt dented you're confidence.

cant be assed anymore, fed up.

ffs do not bring up KK, have you a short memory. I said a Kevin Keegan figure, not the man himself. Basically someone who understands and appreciates the value of passing football. we dont have any of those, to do that we need a former toon player who has now developed into a decent manager, the closest thing we got is Alan Shearer and that was shocking, remember.

you needed that to give you a clue? thats what we did all last season. just because we finish 5th people seem to have develop this new romantic experience of us playing great football last season. we didnt! it was the same, play safe play deep and launch it long. only difference is it worked last season, this season it hasnt.

I don't want to waste any more time on that. My point is simple: our squad is f***ing s***. Compare the squad with Spurs, including the bench, and see where they finished last season. You are suggesting a "appropriate manager in your mind" can immediately turn us into Man Utd and winning most of the match "more than a margin". I don't know who that one is, and how realistic it is, I'm afraid you can't suggest anyone that would really come and work under Ashley. To me, I totally understand the limitation, and a "appropriate manager in my mind" is the one who can win most of the match marginally and consistently, GIVEN THIS SQUAD. Bassong even couldnt get a game in Spurs and was sold. I f***ing miss him, you know? Our squad is s***? What utter, depressing bollocks. Our squad is s***. Evaluate the bench and other squad rotation players yourself. Don't be cheated by the starting eleven. Really mate I can't be bothered. It's because of fans like you that we will end up losing our quality players while defending a manager who's ideas about football expired in 1980. exactly, look at swansea's bench. no excuse for pardew there.

Have fun. http://i48.tinypic.com/dp7r0z.png lol cheers mate lets highlights the stats. attacking 10/20 defending 17/20 playing style: direct coaching style: defending pretty accurate.

Absolutely. Think he's just out of his depth tbh. Agreed. I think Pards is a very good and capable PL manager. But he just doesn't have the chops to make a mid-table team a Champions League team. Which *should* be our goal as a club. easy now. Which part of that statement do you object to? the transformation of a midtable team into a champions league team, jesus its like it just rolls off your lip,. that is a tougher task than you may think, managers that are capable of doing that dont usually join clubs like nufc.

FM rated this man 18 in Tactical Knowledge. can you do a print screen of Pardew's FM profile? Would be a laugh.

no, thats purple players.

thats a bit unfair, considering we're not very good ourselves. i dont think anyone expected it would be an easy game today.

we need to stop talking about the lack of top players in the squad, thats playing into the hands of pardew's excuses book. teams with more modest squads than us, have been playing better and have more points than us.

it's strange because he was educated under SBR, surely he would had learned a thing or two.

that so called 6 match period people been banging on about, which was a tiny portion of the the entire season we had. how many of those 6 games did the teams we played against had anything to play for towards the end of the season?

was fergie knackered or injured? he came off halftime.

it was more 4-4-1-1 to be fair in the first half. then it was 4-4-2 in th second. similar i guess. and we did pass it around more than usual in the 1st half. then they scored and it was back to good old hoofy hoofy and losing the plot.

title of the thread should be Alan '8 Years' Pardew

until they scored, we actually played better than usual, not saying it was great, but there was some energy and intent in our play at least. but even then we showed many moments of how easy it was for swansea to carve us open only by some top krul interventions and their lack of finishing stop them. we tried to create chance many times, but pointless as the there was never any quality in our final ball, when the ball was good Demba was off the boil with his finish, after numerous warnings of swansea's countering prowess , they scored and turned into a shower.

despite that krul hanger kick. he actually kept us in the game with a few fine saves. thought tiote, fergie first half, anita, hba had a decent game the rest were dross and smelly.

Don't agree we was far the better side it was a day light robbery how we lost that i don't know. do you work for alan pardew? lol bet you got 8 years as well, you're a very lucky man.

we dont deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as wba, considering how we've played all season lol

no doubt pardew will bang on about the senegal issue like some crazy preacher and use it as a diversion from the lost.

be fair we didnt deserve anything
