Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Just before the penalty, he was giving thumbs up to the players..I think he uttered 'Cheik, ur f***ing superb..superb!!!'.. and to see stevie bruce going all bonkers at the Emirates today, makes me think that Pardew brings class to the team throughout.. They can't fucking handle you - he was shouting (I think at Tiote) Was at Jonas, I think. Aye, just before they scored iirc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Just watched motd2 and someone said about Pardew " he has brought calm to Newcastle". Very true. For all his other qualities he does also have this fantastic calm approach which I'm sure ripples throughout the club. Really loving Pardew and think he gives us our Best chance in a long long time of achieving something, be that Europe or a cup. Happy days Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 It is really nice to see him on the touchline praising his players. In the first half the camera was on him and you could hear him saying to Jonas "Jonas, brilliant, they can't handle you." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wil Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 He's doing such an excellent job, it's going to be really interesting to see how he blends in the technical players now and changes the way we play. We've built such a great platform and Ben Arfa, Santon and Marveaux can take us to another level. The kind of football we could be playing in a week or two is just mouthwatering! Pardew himself must be very excited by the prospect. He sounded like it today when he talked about Ben Arfa "threatening to burst into the team". Really liked that!

Guest Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 This is my favourite quote from him yet, makes me even more optimistic. 'A few of our of our players are fighting for their careers, fighting to develop, fighting to be top players and that makes us dangerous. We're going to be a dangerous side against the top sides as well as everybody else. Last season there was a big gap between us and the big sides. I think we have narrowed that gap.'

Guest BooBoo Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 It's been such a refreshing change for a low key appointment to succeed (thus far) at NUFC. On the whole our big name appointments were underwhelming at best and disastrous at worst. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you contrast our fortunes to Fulham who appointed the bloke I think the vast majority of us wanted back in December when the two were both linked...brilliant stuff.

Guest TheSummerOf69 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Wading through some of the reams of negative stuff on the last few match threads has been painful as people judge Alan Pardew's substitutions harshly through the magic of hindsight and / or slag off Shola as if he's the worst player we've ever had. Hopefully that's going to loosen off a little after both were great for this game... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Tbf I don't think us fans ever really agree on substitutions 90% of the time, even SBR got a lot of stick about them. Substitutions will always be wrong, no point in expecting opinions to change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Been said before but people definately go over the top with slating players, the managers job is to hold faith in their ability and Pardews doing it very well. Some were absolutely destroying Raylor & Pardew for starting him against QPR due to nothing but heinsight. Since then hes made a goalline block against wolves & got an assist against Tottenham (he should have had more than one) to help us to 4 points in 2 games along with keeping the wingers on his side quiet in the 4 games since QPR. Yet again around we go with Simpson instead now. Because him being part of what has been the best defence in the country means nothing & hes obviously s****. Bit laughable.

Ikon Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Ashley and Pardew had no contact at all for 2 months after we dropped a 3-0 lead to 3-3 against West Brom. Ashley was mad.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I think I actually feel worse when we're doing well than when we're doing shit When we're nice and mediocre there's nothing to lose and I can just enjoy the matches. Now I'm constantly anxious about Pardew walking or Ba's knee falling off or something else ridiculously happening and throwing us into the shitter.

Ketsbaia Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Our last defeat was April 30th. So if we get past Wigan, that will be SIX MONTHS unbeaten. Half a fucking year! That is extraordinary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully that's going to loosen off a little after both were great for this game... Shola hasn`t changed in the past decade or more. He always has a knack of scoring important goals, its just sandwiched inbetween them is 100`s of minutes of slow dross, poor control and injuries. As for Pardews subs he has been a bit slow to react at times. Not that I have slated Pardew. I`m a very happy supporter at the moment, its been years since we all have something to really be proud of again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with that - seems to be a mood sometimes that players have to be either world class or turboshit, not room for much else inbetween. Every pre-match thread I've been reading about which winger is going to absolutely rape Ryan Taylor - still waiting for it to happen. We're unbeaten, with the best defence in the league, none of our players are shit. I'm loving it, and Pardew is doing an absolutely fantastic job.

Dr Venkman Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Or it could be that some people think you should constantly improve on what you've got if that's possible? Not sure why anyone has a problem with upgrading a weak link in a good team like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why anyone has a problem with upgrading a weak link in a good team like. Nobody has, surely? But having a strong football team that work well as a unit and complement each other's strengths isn't always just about picking the best 11 players on paper. Good teams are more than the sum of their parts. Pardew, to his credit, hasn't injured Ben Arfa by rushing him back, hasn't thrown Santon in the deep end to sink or swim as with Colo's much malinged first season, hasn't destroyed any player's confidence (in what is a long hard season in the Premier League, which demands more than 11 useful players) by them playing their part but feeling that they're always going to be straight out the team when the better player is available, and hasn't unneccesarily changed a well functioning back 4 which we (and even Pardew last year!) are guilty of too many times over the years. And he's done this by risking the undiluted wrath of all the naysayers who demand that Raylor (hero against the Mackems away) or Shola (hero against the best team we've kept our record against this year) or Loven (hero in the Cup run that reaches the dizzy heights of the quarter finals next week after our 2 away ties won) are never allowed anywhere near our team.
