Optimistic Nut Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 If he'd left Derby when we first approached him then maybe he'd have had an input. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiLvOR Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I'm reserving judgement until I see his first team selection. Then I'll probably put my foot through the monitor. EDIT: First team selection for a non-friendly, of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The impression I've got is that he wasn't happy with the tour. Hopefully next year will be better. If he's still here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 For me our pre-season should be: - Kickabout with local side - Three-game tournament in Europe against at least one Europa League/CL-level side, otherwise top division sides at least - Two games against higher-end Championship teams - CL team at home the week before kick-off Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 it's easy to be honest when there's nothing at stake yet. Still much better than anything cuntcuntcuntdew ever said Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 When the pressure's on is the key, I can't really remember much of his past reaction. Anyway, he clearly knows a lot more about football so I don't really care what he says. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I don't blame people, like. After four years of Pardew it's refreshing. Can't understand any real excitement re: transfers, like. The squad's still full of holes and the players we have signed should've been here weeks ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I think more appropriate for the club in its current state would be an annual Alan Pardew is a cunt tournament between ourselves, Charlton, West Ham, and Southampton. It would have the added advantage of not having to play games in Europe thus meaning we weren't relegated before the season starts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Atlas match seemed decent friendly and workout, not sure what the benefit of a couple of matches against non-MLS teams are though, particularly one where he's scared to play on the surface.
