Doing a fucking marvellous job and laughable that some people want to concentrate more on what he's done wrong rather than the successes of biblical proportions.

 

Long may he continue.

The people in here who are bringing negativity into things for no reason. :lol:

 

It's like that bloke off Little Britain who suggests "a thousand Vietnamese children dressed in rags!" for every single musical.

The most puzzling aspect of HTTs bizarre comment is saying he doesn't like a lot of our players? I think generally speaking we have a likeable bunch.

Does anyone else think that Alan Smith, of Arsenal and SSN punditry fame, very much slips into the Pardew DILF category?

pardew saying our first target is still 40 points, it's nice to be realistic alan but i think that ship may have sailed, we should be aiming higher this year

 

He was obviously going to say that though.

 

uh huh

 

Aim:

 

Get 40 points, then play Guthrie & Lovenkrands until season ends to give other teams chance to catch up.

 

Nice guy Pards.

It's a dangerous game that, we've heard managers say that before about their fast starting teams, problem is when they eventually reach that 40 point target, those teams often switch off and lose focus.

 

If I were him I would be just saying that we are trying to gain as many points as we can and we'll just see where that leaves us, no reason at all why he can not privately target a top 7 or 8 finish.

I agree, I can understand not wanting to raise expectations too high, but really, we should be aiming a lot higher now and it's not necessary to dampen enthusiasm and ambition within reason. The top 6 is probably pretty much set - although not unassailable by any means - but the 7-10th spots will probably be fought out by Everton, Stoke, Villa and ourselves. We shouldn't be looking anywhere below that.

Every season should always target 40 points first then create new targets. Helps prevent us having seasons like the one when we got relegated.

Note the highlighted word.

 

We know the clubs aim was a top 10 finish this season, expectations will have no doubt been raised after the fantastic start to the season but a top 8 finish will be a great achievement in his first full season.

that's a fair point and i agree a top 8 would be good stuff. still think it's a little bit over negative for him to be saying though, just continue to say our target is top 10 if you have to say anything at all
