Guest cr4igora Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I presume this article has been posted, since it was on Sky Sports yesterday: http://www.skysports.com/story/0,,11678_7169665,00.html A lot of people moan, because Pardew talks a lot. I think it's great that he tries to keep the fans as up to date as possible and even though he is heavily restricted in his transfer activites, as he said after transfer deadline day, I think he does a great balancing between speaking the truth and not totally slagging-off his employers. Joey Barton certainly didn't have that tact! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 He really needs a good performance from the lads tonight, not just a win but a convincing win, we have had a great start but its been a lucky one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 it must just be me who thinks all the pard and pardy jokes are class. I believe it was the social commentator Andrew WK who famously said when it's time to Pardy, we will Pardy hard. Very apt should we win tonight.

For some reason I can see us hammering QPR tonight. Maybe too optimistic? Btw I don't think we've had a lucky start tbh. We haven't romped to victory no, but I believe we've got the results we've deserved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Alan Pardew still aims for top-ten finish by Mark Douglas, The JournalSep 12 2011 ALAN Pardew says deadline day disappointment hasn’t altered his target of a top-ten finish – and a healthy run in one of the Cup competitions. The Newcastle United boss was told the top half of the Premier League was a minimum requirement over the summer months, but that was before the failed pursuit of a new number nine. However, Derek Llambias’ weekend statement has reaffirmed the board’s desire to see United back in the top ten – and Pardew agrees that it is an attainable aim with our without a new forward. Despite admitting he feels “upset” with the board, Pardew remains bullish about Newcastle’s prospects this season. They travel to QPR tonight looking to build on an unbeaten start to the season that has been largely forgotten in the wake of their inaction in the final days of the transfer window. Not within the four walls of Pardew’s office, though, with the Newcastle boss insisting there is enough quality to make a concerted push for the top half of the Premier League. He said: “We need to challenge for the top ten in this division and at the moment I think that is still possible. It is still there. I’ve got to be honest, I would be doing myself a disservice if I wasn’t targeting the top ten and a good run in one of the cup competitions. I think we have a squad that is strong enough for that. “We have less experience in the team but we have more exuberance, so we will have to use that and bring it to the fore.” If Pardew has been re-energised after the international break, he recognises that there is a need to recapture the momentum lost by their transfer travails. While there is a perception that Newcastle have started brightly among the wider football fraternity, their early season promise has been overshadowed by a familiar set of questions surrounding the board’s commitment to the club. The Newcastle hierarchy will hope to have blown away that set of queries with the assertion that Mike Ashley remains “passionate and committed” to the black and white cause. But there will be a hope that the return of the Premier League will give United the chance to refocus on a campaign that has begun with promise. Pardew admits it troubles him to have to “start again”, but it is something he has got used to over the course of nearly nine months in charge of the club. “Start again? It seems to be a regular occurrence at this club. Here we go again and hopefully we will get the same results,” he said. “My first XI will be very strong and I look at my subs and think the bench is strong too. We’ve got some young players coming through who have progressed very quickly.” The one department United look really light in is the back four. Pardew’s solution in the wake of Mike Williamson’s injury is to draft James Perch in as an emergency centre-back. “I think that’s now turned out to be – with Willo’s injury – an area where perhaps I’d have liked a bit more cover,” the United boss said. “But Perch is back and I think his best position is at centre-back, from what I’ve seen of him. We’ll probably use him there.” Read More http://www.journallive.co.uk/nufc/newcastle-united-news/2011/09/12/alan-pardew-still-aims-for-top-ten-finish-61634-29404251/2/#ixzz1Xjd9Q34w Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenige Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I've seen Perch play at CB and he's not that bad there, obviously I'd prefer almost anyone else but sadly with our squad we can't be too picky. Still intrigued as to why Kadar has completely dropped off the radar though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 “We have less experience in the team but we have more exuberance, so we will have to use that and bring it to the fore.” This is the thing that makes me less worried by the departure of Nolan and friends. We should definitely be aiming for the top 10, we are more than capable of doing that even without the second striker signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxfree Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 This shitty performance is on Pardew. Why the f*** did Raylor get a whole game? You have to wonder if he's our new regular left back.

Nobody Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 At least got his substitutions right (for the most part), but they were too late and it was painfully obvious that they some players out there should not have started tonight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
clintdempsey Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 In his defense we're unbeaten so far and have only conceded 1 goal in four PL games. Oh, and we're fourth in the league. Can't deny we're playing dull football and not looking like ever scoring again though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Only saw the second half (and read about the first on here!) but that was a fairly damning indictment of Pardew's managerial skills (if we forget his lies for a moment). Wanka' No longer do we have a team and manager we're proud of, instead we have a team who play like a shit Stoke and players and a manager we're not fond of. STaylor's job when Raylor had that freekick was to be a dick That was funny tbf. He actually ended up saving our bacon, but as ever, walking liability/certifiable moron. The role of full-backs in the modern game can't be understated - yet Pardew does seem to ignore this. Without ball-playing full-backs, a team becomes shit. Jonas is pegged back/stifled, Tiote can't play a passing game/becomes flustered on the ball with no options/strikers get long balls/opposition get more possession and the defence is under more pressure. Fucking annoying. Still at least we're fourth and more cracks have been papered over. [/garbled rant over] Just realised our team has played about 25 minutes (last 5 of the first half v Fulham, second 20 of second half v Fulham) of decent football this season so far. How the fuck we have 8 points is unfair on our opposition and spawny as fuck for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Can't argue with the points return but anyone with eyes can see we're riding our luck massively so far. We can't keep relying on our opponents to let us off the hook. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
