Rich Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 If we take a beating off Arsenal, the pressure will be well and truly on going into the derby. A defeat there and there will be massive fallout. exactly, that's what I was trying to intimate. Pardew's just about getting some of the fans on side - a defeat on Wearside and he'll undo all of that in 90 minutes flat. What happens if we win those two games, though? We'll be headed for Europe.

Guest neesy111 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 We can't judge anything till the outcome of the 1st game of the season. Barton seems to be going on like we've just had another 6-1 defeat to Leyton Orient again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David28 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I'll put my neck out here and say Arsenal will howk us by at least three clear goals. I might place a 100€ bet on us to beat them tbh. There are 3 reasons why we won't lose against them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't work like that though, does it? I'm not saying that we should sack Pardew if we lose those two games - I was more referring to the backlash there would be from the wider fanbase and potentially some of the more disaffected players. The derby holds a much heavier weight than any other game - a shit performance/result in one of those and people usually gan ape. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Any backlash if we lose at the SOL (and it WOULD be huge) will be for the defeat, the refusal to spend this summer and the general dissatisfaction with the shambolic way the club has been ran for the last 4 and a bit years.

The Prophet Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I'll feel much more comfortable if we stick a full strength squad out against Fiorantina, bar Ben Arfa of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Fucks knows what Joey will start tweeting when the season starts and we lose. Joey; we know Ashley's a twat but unfortunately he's our twat and we have to get on with it. Having said that I agree with selling Nolan given the contract he was wanting. As for Joey, I'd happily give hm 3 years with an option for a 4th based on performance. He's currently tweeting himself out of the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 But its the players who aren't getting what they want/their own way who are moaning, take Routledge, he may have cause to complain but as soon as Pardew got here it was clear he didn't fancy him as a player, take Nolan's contract, its the manager who didn't think the contract for Kevin was right. we all know that the owner is a t***, same for Lambarse but unfortunately for the players who are complaining their teammates dont and seem happy. I'll start worrying when Saylor, Williamson or one of the new lads moans and one surefire way to get yourself relegated is to destroy your own dressing room, which seems to be what Barton is setting out to do, not on purpose, i think he just unaware of what his actions will bring, its just like his past is repeating itself, not the drinking or the violence but just in a different self destructive way. Was just going to post something along those lines, agree with this completely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also not a good enviroment for new players to come into. If he is that unhappy then he needs to leave, airing this is public won't change anything at the top and will just spread negativity through the squad which isn't what is needed.

ponsaelius Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Edwards is one of the worst for spouting speculation as fact from a position of authority in journalist terms.

Cajun Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 That tweet could have just been a retweet from Barton, obviously if he had just retweeted Barton no-one would be looking into it as much as they probably will now. Basically his tweet is "Joey Barton isn't happy according to his tweets". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically his tweet is "Joey Barton isn't happy according to his tweets". Bingo. Typical journo spin. Claiming major unrest? Just expressing his own disappointment again imho (echoed by the departing Routledge). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
