Guest BooBoo Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 One thing's for sure is that under Ashley, if there's a negative rumour going round then it's very likely to be true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Some lad behind me was saying something about stuff getting thieved out of the changing rooms If that's true, then he's out of the club. Fingers crossed it's not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 My mate was at training on Friday and said that Ranger went up for a header and came down on his ankle and was taken from the field injured. Barton walked off the pitch during a practice game, probably carrying a knock, so much for shit rumours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 So pub/ground rumour isn't true? My faith in humanity is in tatters. As a FANzine if it turns out to be a load of bollocks I hope TRUE-faith apologise foe stirring a load of shite, fairly sure they will try and spin it though. It's always nice to know our own media are as bad as the tabloid press for going along with any old shit against the club if it means more sales Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

80 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Can't believe that a kid who is basically living everyone else's dream can't even turn up on time. He is, apparently. He's just not turning up before he's been told to. I laugh, to be fair I think I understand Pardew's underlying point which is that he's not investing as much effort in improving himself as he perhaps should, but the way he put it sounds... funny.

I laugh, to be fair I think I understand Pardew's underlying point which is that he's not investing as much effort in improving himself as he perhaps should, but the way he put it sounds... funny. Yeah, Pardew was making an unusual sort of point about the impact of Ranger's behaviour on his team-mates. I think the problem with Ranger is that he thinks that he's good enough for the first team, even when he only puts in 80% effort. Now that might actually be true - 80% of Ranger might well be better than Lovenkrands or Best, strictly on an individual way of thinking. But it's a team game, and everyone has to put in 100%, regardless of their ability. If a star player isn't giving their all, that has a depressing effect on the rest. It's just as important for the weaker players to overcome their inhibitions and give 100%, and they're more inclined to do that if they see the better players also trying their best. I don't know if I've put that particularly well. But I think what Pardew is getting at is everybody, of whatever talent, has to buy into a collective ethic of effort and self-improvement. If you don't, then you're acting as a distraction. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't, then you're acting as a distraction. No, you're just about spot on. He's saying Ranger's just been ticking the boxes that have been put in front of him, which is better than he used to be because he didn't even bother ticking them in the past, but he's still not thinking for himself and giving his all (creating new boxes to tick, so to speak), and isn't being taken seriously by the squad (who do tend to) as a result.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Ranger hasn't achieved anything yet, I rate him but it's disappointing to hear that he's not knuckling down and giving everything to succeed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
