"Won't leave until we win something."

 

Let's get relegated so we can win the Championship then.

LOL

So if Ashley clains he gives Charnley the money as a budget, who decides which players to buy, who decided this dude was a good purhcase.  Was his something like 10th of Carr's list and Charnley said "lets have that fella, he is cheap"

 

Is this how a teamis built???  :lol:

That's how this team is built.

I do hope we stay up but I will feel so sick seeing him celebrate.

Agree with this. 👍

This is gonna be some painful television.

Don't even bother. The leadership of the Club don't care obviously so why should you.

We don't deserve anything less than relegation. But even if we still do survive. So what? There is still nothing to look forward to. All this talk about lessons being learned if we survive is a joke. If we haven't "learned our lessons" by now, with the awful years we've endured, we never will. I have no feelings at all for this Sports Direct United club and could care less if it is playing in the Championship.

f*** them. It's emotional blackmail. Absolutely nothing will change if our fanbase show they can be bought off by being told that "it's your club" and that they need us, despite the fact that all the available evidence points to it being anything but. It's not our club when they sell our best players, rename the stadium, allow loan sharks to sponsor the shirt, aim to get knocked out of competitions we'd all quite like to win. They didn't need our support when they disbanded the singing section and turned the stadium into a morgue, or when they decided to charge fans £15 for membership.

 

If anything the way the club has conducted itself the past couple of days has strengthened my resolve. I owe this basket case of a football team absolutely nothing. I've thrown good money after bad following Mike Ashley's Newcastle United around the country. If they go down it's not because of me, or the other 52,000 idiots that turn up week in week out. It's because of the owner, the board, the manager and the players.

 

It's their mess, why the f*** should I feel some sort of obligation to at least try to bail them out?

👍👍👍👍

No interest in the match at all. Stopped caring long ago.

No joke. Not looking forward to Saturday morning getting up at 6:30 a.m. watching another defeat.

I don't want to admit it but they look highly likely to beat us based on how they played against Chelsea.

Everyone looks capable of beating us.

That's why I mentioned him leading a consortium of like minded people. Pool their money together and buy the club.

What's the point of stating how bad things are unless you're willing to put money on the table and buy him out.

I agree. It is quite frank. He is stating things we all know to be true. Makes me wonder, can't he head up some consortium of investors to buy the club from Ashley?

What does it matter in the end anyway. Yeah it was a poor no pen call but so what. Was anyone really bothered that it wasn't given. No reaction anymore watching this club play. It's almost like watching a friendly.

We need at least a CB and a forward but we already knew that before today. What price we flog a purple and buy no-one?

Unfortunately it is more likely we buy no one.

Not entirely his fault. The tactics are all wrong. If you know going into a match that you have an inexperienced and shaky keeper, why not play a possession game to limit the other teams opportunities. Especially against a side like Burnley at home.

 

 

because just about every team in this division is capable of creating 3 chances and with a hobbit in goal they know they will score with them.

I'm not saying he is without fault but the tactics contribute to the problem.

This month will tell us a lot about the direction of the club. Opportunity to sign a quality manager and some quality players. If we don't do both, the lack of ambition will be clear for all to see.

 

Have you not made your mind up yet?

I have. And I'm not expecting much but I can always hope. The lack of activity this month may be enough for me to give up all hope.

Can't blame him in the least for this move.

So far after league game 3 of the season I can see nothing to suggest that our transfer work is going to improve us this season.  I would go as far as to say Pardew will not see this season out because the fans are ready to have a go at him almost from the off.

 

Some were defending our pre-season and saying it was all about fitness while others could see that nothing had changed and how our season was likely to pan out, nothing will ever change until we have a manager who knows what he's doing.  We are a rancid football team and we're a reflection of our rancid manager.  The only way things will get better while he's here is by chance, something lucky happening like us finding a game changer from nowhere because we don't have the skills to change anything on the training ground.  Our back room staff are all dinosaurs who know nothing and follow the orders of an inept manager because they know no better.

 

I'm trying to look for positives and I can't see anything to get excited about, nothing to suggest that we're going to improve.  Pardew said we should judge him after 10 games and that is bullshit, we'll have even less confidence after 10 games than we do now.

 

Our season looks like it's going to see us fighting in the bottom half, the only difference to last season is that we'll probably not have a good half season followed by a bad half.  We're more than likely to have a s*** season where we pick up a few points then drop a few.  If we don't win one of the next 2 games I can see the crowd venting and once they start, it's not going to stop for more than a game or two.

 

A point against Palace is poor but not unexpected because the players don't seem to be motivated by Pardew but that's nothing new, I don't think he's motivated the players for at least 2 seasons.  Even Cabaye when playing good wasn't motivated by Pardew, he was motivated by a move away and the same goes for Debuchy and Remy, they were both playing for a move to another club because our club has no ambition to win anything.  We're nothing more than a stepping stone and we need hungry players for that to work.  Once players feel they are stuck here we're screwed because Pardew will not be able to lift them.  The only class player who genuinely seems to want to play for us and improve our game is stuck in the reserves because he told the manager a few truths which he couldn't take because his ego is greater than his talent.

 

3 games in and the season is as easy to work out for us as it ever could be, we're s***.

 

Very good summary and totally agree, the team were  not good enough last year by a long long way and although I will always give new players time, I just don't see the current new crop enhancing the team - what was blatantly obvious from last season was the need for a 15 - 20 goal striker to replace Remy, a creative central midfield player to replace Cabaye and a quality defender just to stop the  bucket load of goals being shipped in. We have bought none of the three; and low and behold we lack a scoring centre forward (Riviere will not score 15 - 20 goals by a long way as his goals to games ratio suggests), a central midfield with as much creativity as morph and a defence which strains more things though than a colander.  Sad and desperate times all round.

 

Agreed 100% These are sad sad times.

Wish I could've laughed at the tying goal. Watching them just causes me anguish. Success seems so far away.

How sad not to walk away with 3 points against a club like Crystal Palace. We as a club are going nowhere but down. Nothing like having a football match ruin your weekend. I have no faith that we will turn things around. This sense of hopelessness is putting me off football all together.

It'd be s****. He's ruined football in this country.

Seriously? I'd love it if our club were "ruined" that way.

Seems like I made the right choice not to wake up after four hours of sleep to watch this.

Me too!

Wish Roman owned us.

 

Wish Roman would tell a friend of his to buy us.

Wouldn't that be nice.
