Guest Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Good touch if what Dave mentioned in match thread about going straight for the tunnel was to let the players enjoy the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Had the decency to head straight down the tunnel afterwards and not make to much of a fuss over the victory. Smart move. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Even if we go on a jammy little run of 3 or 4 games we're pretty much safe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Off NUFC.com: Looking at the permanent appointments only (or those that became permanent), their first PL games were: KK: Spurs (h) lost 0-1 KD: Southampton (a) drew 2-2 RG: Aston Villa (a) lost 0-1 BR: Chelsea (a) lost 0-1 GS: Southampton (a) won 2-1 GR: Portsmouth (a) won 2-0 SA: Bolton (a) won 3-1 KK: Bolton (h) drew 0-0 CH: Manchester United (a) lost 0-3 So if you believe in omens, we could have another Souness, Allardyce or Roeder on our hands here, fingers crossed.

oldtype Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 At the very least he seems to be fully aware of the situation and knows that he needs to just go about his job quietly instead of trying to be in the spotlight. It will take a long, long time (probably never) for me to support him because of the circumstances of his appointment. But we'll see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Barton. What? ESPN trying to make out Pardew had had impact on the club yet, he corrected them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmonkey Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 In all fairness to him, he took Ameobi off when it was clear he was doing f*** all, and took Nolan off after he had gassed out (and the game had passed him by for 40 minutes at least). Two things Hughton didn't seem very keen to do much of the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chapdelaine Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 The fact he replaced the injured Ameobi with another striker who could support the dominant Carrol and didn't just load the midfield is a positive sign.Hope he keeps making correct decisions.Also the fact he took off Nolan when his limited gastank gave up gives us hope.

Guest Stephen927 Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 With the length of the contract, we should be due a decent wedge from the FA when Capello walks. Good thinking Ashley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 He handled himself in the best way possible, couldn't have done it any better. At least he's not totally moronic like JFK. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Gained a little respect for him today with the way he handled himself. Agreed. Yup. Could have been as pig headed as Ashley was, but chose to step into the shadow and just get on with it. Still think that a combination of the players fighting for Hughton/fans turning anger and frustration into passion was the main reason we won that.

Minhosa Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 His challenge is going to come when he's forced to make the sale of a popular player. See what that does to spirit etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
