Beren Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Timeline so far: 1. Ronaldo doesn't rate Pardew over Phil fucking Brown. 2. Pardew is appointed. 3. Pardew is better than Hughton from day one. (ie. before any person who wasn't being contrary/WUMing for the sake of it, could reasonably change their opinion on a manager OR Ronaldo decides to form an opinion which is the most contrary he can think of/attention-garnering: Pardew > Hughton) 4. Ronaldo encounters difficulty with his decision to be contrary as Pardew makes mistakes playing Lovenkrands OR Ronaldo's belief in Pardew somehow manages to increase - despite well-documented frustrations with his decision-making. 6. The present - Ronaldo tries to sell people on the idea he isn't an idiot or a WUM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 ronaldo man, just hold your hands up and admit you got caught out. I never said I was for the Pardew appointment, nor that I didn't criticise him. I said I was fully behind him and maintained he was doing a good job throughout, which is the truth. A bunch of quotes about Lovenkrands, daft Cole references and a cutting insult from a daft disabled doesn't change that. They have no significance. I didn't initially want Pards as manager, and I didn't Lovenkrands anywhere near the team. I've also been behind Pardew as much as anyone on here, unlike the shameful lot that wanted him to fail.

Ronaldo Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Only Interpolic would quote a post from before Pardew was appointed (which none of us wanted, let's be honest) to undermine an idictment of Pardew's undue criticism when he'd been in the job for 3 months. And predictably, a few on here are either too stupid to spot the glaring difference or just too pally with the boy next door who can't afford milk to discard the cheerleading. Come back to me if anyone can find me even slightly implying I wanted us to part company with Pardew after his first game in charge. Until then, shut the fuck up and actually read what's been written. It's those who wanted Pardew to fail (and poured cold water on each victory) that should hang their heads.

mrmojorisin75 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 not many at the time thought he'd come good, but there were a few of us saying they felt hughton has reached his limit and would take us no further, also saying pardew would more than likely be "no worse" than hughton and so it's all turned out nufc + internet generation = massive overreactions to everything they treated hughton badly, no arguments on that front but it didn't warrant the hysteria...SBR & Souness on the other hand....

Guest BooBoo Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Pardew's proven a lot of people on here wrong, myself included. I was mortified with his appointment but once the dust settled I was prepared to give him a chance and support him. What was baffling was te relatively popular approach of "Pardew is a complete twat and I'm not even going to give the bloke a chance." Never really grasped that mentality but I'm sure all can agree now that his success thus far has been very refreshing considering the previous big names we've had who've delivered nowt but bullshit and disappointment.
