Mick Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/john-carver-insists-newcastle-united-8893122 Must be on the same stuff as Gazza. We won't go down but there is no way we will finish in the top half. 13-16th imo. I think we'll finish above Hull with nobody under them finishing above us so I'll go for 14th. Didn't Carver say he was aiming for 8th? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Had the league started on 31/12 then we'd be in the bottom 5. If this prick starts as manager on opening day in august then we'll be in the bottom 6 all season with a reasonable chance of going down. If he's in charge next season we will go down, there's no doubt about it IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deckard 13 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Genuinely worried that the suspension/injury situation will be used as an excuse for the results and they'll "back their man this summer". Clear for all too see how shit he is and I think results would be the same regardless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Is he just making s*** up now? Just checked Arsenal v Newcastle between 2000 & 2004 when Carver was assistant and Pires was there. 2000-1 - Pires played full 90. 2001-2 - Pires played full 90. 2001-2 - serious knee injury sustained in a challenge from Dabizas 2002-3 - Pires came on as a sub. 2003-4 - Pires came on as a sub. Unless in 2003-4 he came off the bench then went back off leaving Arsenal with 10 men. http://www.11v11.com/matches/newcastle-united-v-arsenal-11-april-2004-19694/ this seems to show him coming on a sub and staying on but following season subbed on 84 minutes http://www.11v11.com/matches/arsenal-v-newcastle-united-14-august-2005-220675/ Carver said it was at Highbury, and he wasn't at the club in 2005.

Sima Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 He's absolutely got the job full time in the summer, all this with a win percentage below 20%. Prick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, you can sense the bar being steadily lowered: -Top 10 finish and the job is his -OK, top 12 will do -We've had injuries, top 14 is alright -Sod it, there was a decent 45 minutes against Arsenal, sign here John...

Deckard 13 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Stats seem to be what average managers use to replace their complete lack of knowledge. It's a nonsense argument that you'd expect to tell a child to console them. "It's ok that you failed because the stats say you tried really hard". .

Dave Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 This isn't a defence of Carver but what would Guardiola, Mourinho or Klopp do with someone like Mike Williamson? Starting to wonder if all managers are pretty shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting to wonder if all managers are pretty s****. Sbr had to work with o'brien, bramble, dabizas, hughes and a young berard. Qualified for the champs league and narrowly missed out a third time. Yes ee had woodgate but he didnt play all the time. A good coach can organise what they have and make average players work as a unit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Think last season was a bit disappointing? We're 11 points worse off at this stage compared to last year. Carver's 2 wins in 3 months hasn't exactly helped. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
