Rich Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 And who knows, maybe he was just worried Ashley would consider us "strong enough" if half a team could dispatch of WBA so easily, and so felt the need to remind him that some members of our squad are nowhere near good enough to be at this club...

No, no, no. 7th/8th would have been a 'great' season. Perspective needed Exactly, today's game was dissapointing, but the season has been a good one. Seventeenth was what we aimed for we have finished 12th and could have had a top ten finish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicago_shearer Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Finish top half, above sunderland, that was his goal. He didnt meet it. The very best you can say about Pardew is that he is a disappointment, not a disaster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Crooks Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 To be fair, if he is any sort of self-respecting professional, which I think he probably is, he'll be really disappointed with the way things panned out ....or he won't give a toss and laugh his way to the bank regardless.

Pilko Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 That contract he has, apparently money based upon league position? I have it on good authority that Pardew is currently on the phone to the local builders telling them to cancel to kitchen extension. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 The main thing he got wrong today was giving (an absolutely shameful) Ameobi 90 minutes. I could understand the Lua Lua swap for Ferguson, because as Rich said, the lad had largely burned out after a decent 60 minutes. Smith for Lovenkrands would make sense if Smith was remotely capable of performing as a defensive-midfielder, but again, i could see why the switch was made. Best should have been on a lot sooner, however, and it should have been for Shola. But the players should have still held their concentration for the remaining part of the game. Generally pathetic on their part. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 His substitutions and the players lacklustre defending cost us this game. Shola should have been off an absolute age before he was, Best should have been on much earlier and Smith should have been in Austrailia. Or on the moon.

Guest BooBoo Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Paid the price for thinking the game was done and it would be a good idea to bring on some rusty legs. Highly sloppy, big black mark against him and he'll be rightly fuming that we've tossed away a top half finish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not even sure we've over achieved either, we've beat Wigan, West Ham, Birmingham x 2, Wolves and Liverpool. The Liverpool game was his first in charge and the players said it was for Hughton.

Guest BooBoo Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Mick man, give it a rest. We all know that under Ashley, our managers don't have the final say regarding transfers. Read the KK judgement again, it's all there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the teams you have listed have had a better strikeforce than us for the 2nd half. 12th with the squad we have had availible is a good effort Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
