TheGuv Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I'm getting sick of all these 'the fans aren't happy with what we're spending' quotes from Pardew/and the media. It's not the case at all with any sane fan you talk to. Just some people don't trust the MD and Owner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottledDog Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I'm getting sick of all these 'the fans aren't happy with what we're spending' quotes from Pardew/and the media. It's not the case at all with any sane fan you talk to. Just some people don't trust the MD and Owner. Seems a decent interview to me. As for repeatedly saying the fans aren't happy, this is from an interview in a trade magazine, so he's not aiming that comment at us particularly, but just look at the very first comment on the article at the Journal site - it's from a fan who is certainly not 'happy with what we're spending'.

Kanj Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 How good would a prime Woodgate and Colo be together. We'd have 2 class CBs who read the game better than anyone else. Rarely going to ground just simply collecting the ball and playing it forward Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 but how can anyone quibble with the every (sic) present dedication and enthusiasm of Danny Simpson? Quite fucking easily, actually. How long have you got? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Hughes was immensely underrated. He was good in defense and in attack. Simpson dreams of being as intelligent as Hughes. Who sold him? Souness, wasn't it? Prick. This was one of Sir Bob's very few mistakes i could never understand, he bought Carr in at right back, why he did that when Aaron was and is a vastly superior player i'll never know, then as you say the prick known as Souness sold him as he quite bizarrely prefered Carr at RB as well. Only sold him for £1m too, never ever could get my head around it, especially seeing some of the defenders we signed at the time, Boumsong, Moore, Babayaro, all vastly inferior as well imo.

Willow Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I recall hughes had definitely stagnated at the time and not too many people were too fussed that he'd left. He just wasn't improving and so we got rid, I'm still fine with that decision myself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just wasn't improving and so we got rid, I'm still fine with that decision myself. I thought it was more the team and not just him, his versatility was so missed too. I just rated him highly and still do, even now he would play in our team ahead of Simpson or Williamson imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Was Carr that bad? I can remember hating having him in the side but i've almost completely forgotten about him as a player; it was a thoroughly forgettable period in fairness. Him, Faye, etc - i know they were 'shit', but i probably couldn't tell you any more than that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont know about anyone else but thought Carr was utter shite, just one of those players that i couldn't and refused to like. I recall one game and i cant remember which player it was, but Carr made a mistake and had a go at the youngster playing ahead of him, trying to pass the blame. Just hated him form that game onward.

Guest BooBoo Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Carr was a player who arrived long after his peak and was happy to collect a hefty pay packet without breaking sweat. He wasn't an appalling player but his attitude always seemed wrong. Pretty much a poster boy for the malaise of the 2004-09 era. So many pea hearts played for the club in those five years leading ultimately to relegation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Can remember Roeder labelling him 'brilliant'. I know that managers do that anyway, for morale boosts and such, but he then proceeded to give him the captaincy in the absence of Parker/Butt - so he probably actually thought that. Fucking couldn't stand Roeder like. I know i've opened this can of worms before, but there's only JFK who was a worse manager in that downward spiral, imo.

Guest BooBoo Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Roeder's ineptitude as a full time manager after his successful caretaker spell was one of the most crushingly predictable stories of our recent times. Still incredible that he managed us in the PL. I seem to recall he spent the majority of his nearly full season, constantly complaining about injuries. That's one of the things I like about Pards, very relly does he whine or moan and always tries to focus on positivity, even after poor defeats.

Sifu Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I thought Carr was actually decent at the beginning of his NUFC career. Then a combination of injuries/attitude issues on the pitch meant he was only ever going to go downhill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Roeder did get us into europe after Souness left and was only in charge cos freddy couldn't be arsed to search out a decent candidate in the first place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf to Roeder, Souness did this more often (with his "Lady Luck" s**** and all that). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Carr seemed to find something very funny indeed when he came on as a sub in the 0-3 defeat to Liverpool under Allardyce. Prick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pardew is good at that like, if there is an injury he highlights the opportunity for the player coming in, not focusing on the injury keeping the other player out.

He could have reverted to his former role, or even moved on, after the 05/06 season. That way he'd have left as a cult hero; it was a sensational turnaround. Instead he left as a bit of an embarrassment tbh. Shite manager who conducted himself pretty woefully in the press. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's truth in that tbf. Fat Fred knew the coffers were running dry and Roeder was a cheap option. It rankled that Shepherd toasted his appointment with "we've given the fans the man they wanted!"
