Stu Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 If they continue to remove any hope for supporters, then many more will start to think what is the point. The point of what? Supporting your team and hoping they win this week? End of the day, that's what it's truly all about, KO on a Sat or Sun and the 90minutes that follow.

Fatwax Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Pardew was walking around in training and deliberately shaking players' hands and patting them on the back. Making an effort to do it to everyone, but blanks some players - notably Barton & Smith. Presenters having some shit patter about it being the possible line up for Saturday or something.

Fatwax Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 To be fair he did make it seem really thought through. Some going over the top war movie shit right there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Whose hands did he shake exactly then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Pardew would seem to be marking the line with players who are for Newcastle and those who have been griping. Sometimes it's necessary to get rid of the bad blood for a manager to get a team's loyalty. There may be some who are still loyal to Hughton and who will miss big salaries in the coming seasons.

Fatwax Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Whose hands did he shake exactly then? All the big hitters, Tiote, Coloccini, Obertan (who had the facial impression of someone trying to do REALLY difficult maths in his head), Ba etc. Even Abeid got a cheeky handshake.

Teasy Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 It looked like he went to shake Smiths hand and then turned it into a: http://www.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/6069570/2/istockphoto_6069570-hand-gesture-pointing-or-gun.jpg I'll have to watch it again to see if I was imagining it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
