themanupstairs Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I think Pards is turning out to be a great fit for this club. He's a bit of a showman and seems to really relish being at a big club. Not everyone does, but he looks like he was born to it. Spot on. It's not about managers being better than others at this level imo. It's more about the chemistry between club, players, fans and the manager himself, as well as timing and circumstances.

Guest Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Even if we lose the next 3 we'll be a point better off than the 2001-2 season after 14 games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His man-managing skills seem to be very good, he gets the best out of every player and tactically he's spot on most of the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Plus i fancy us to get something from the next three games, their away from home, no pressure. A point or two would be epic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
quayside Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Really? Man, that's the first genuine mention I've seen, but then I don't really read many newspapers these days. Don't think Pardew is 'glamorous' enough. Yup - and old saggy face Redknapp was right at the front of the queue when glamour was being handed out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElDiablo Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 At the moment I'd fancy us against Chelsea. We might be in a different shape after inevitable defeats in the next 2 though. A win against Chelsea would be the perfect response and boost. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubaricho Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Talking about the bench and subs and our form: "it breeds confidence in the guys that are not involved [...] you have that feeling that you can come into a good team and play well" I think that's a very important feeling to have about the place and an often over-looked piece of the psychology of a winning club.

Ketsbaia Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Starting to think this guy is exactly what we need and he's a fantastic fit for the club. I like his media skills, I like the emotion he shows, I like that he seems to have his head screwed on. He's good tactically, a good motivator and he's backed up by a brilliant recruitment team. More often that not, I find myself nodding in agreement with what he says. His 60 minute phone-in interviews are admirable and for the first time in forever, this club feels professional. We've always had the potential to go far, maybe we're finally seeing our rise back to the top. Just had a massive, gigantic slice of humble pie. But when things are going as well as they are, its ate with pleasure Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Not sure if it was picked up on the cameras, but when they announced '4 minutes of extra time' he turned to the Gallowgate and started to pump his arms to urge us to sing. Was class, really went up in my estimations after seeing that. Gave us the thumbs up when we were in full voice. Canny. Yep,not the first time he's done that either. Good pards,very good.

David28 Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Pardew: I'll have a crack at Manchester giants Nov 6 2011 by Mark Douglas, Sunday Sun NEWCASTLE boss Alan Pardew has pledged to “have a go” against Manchester’s big two after the international break. United’s biggest examination of the season will come in successive weeks when they travel to the Etihad Stadium to take on Manchester City and then face champions United seven days later. But games that would have provoked panic earlier in the season are now seen as opportunities – thanks to the confidence generated by their fine start. “We genuinely enter these games thinking ‘What can we get out of them’?” he said. “We have confidence. What you get sometimes when you play the top three or four is a lack of ambition to win those games. “I’m sure all (coaching) staff initially have a good tactical plan to win the game. “I don’t think anyone will go to Man City and say ‘We can’t win’ but of course that inner belief has still got to be there after 30 minutes, when they start producing their power on you. “And that’s when you need your team to be where my team is. “Confidence, knowing that they’ve gone unbeaten for a while and then they can get past that 30-minute barrier and then stick to the plan. “That’s what you see happening nine times out of 10 – you can see a team has a plan and that it goes astray a little bit, one or two players go offline and then you’re asking for trouble. “If I can keep my team online and on my tactical plan, we’ve got a chance.” As high as they are flying at the moment, Pardew knows how tough the games will be. “I think it’s a bit more than (just world-class attackers). You’ve got world-class defenders in Kompany, Toure and people like that,” he said. “Suddenly when you’re a player and you come up against a top- class player they grind you down. “I’ve had it happen to me when I came up against Bryan Robson in his heyday – you kind of realise that there’s nowhere for you to go today, you’re just on the back foot. “That’s what they can do, the top teams, they can really hurt you – and hurt your confidence. “That’s something we will be hoping we can avoid.” http://www.sundaysun.co.uk/sport/newcastle-united/nufc-news/2011/11/06/pardew-i-ll-have-a-crack-at-manchester-giants-79310-29727085/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
