Daft questions (football edition)


Recommended Posts

Just received a warning for that post. Bit harsh I think. I went to the bother of replying to him and then he calls me Pardew for no reason whatsoever. I don't see how that isn't being a f***ing idiot

 

Was more about the worry of conceding from an attacking position. If that ain't doin' a Pardy then I don't know what is.

But it wasn't an opinion mate it is fact based on that numbers game book

Are premiership attendances falling? Over the last year / two years.

 

Just noticed the empty seats at villa park, there's usually a few thousand empty seats at SJP. Even the champions can't fill their ground.

Watching last night's MOTD, how come Leicester and Burnley both have their kits made by Puma but they're not the skintight ones they give to us and Arsenal?

 

Gary Taylor-Fletcher in Leicester's instance. Burnley :dontknow:

Would you rather win the league cup this season, or wait 10 years to win it if it was guaranteed that we'd also have a club to be proud of?

 

 

 

 

Question is worded slightly cheesy but I genuinely think I'd wait like, as infuriating as that is.

Does winning the league cup now preclude us from winning anything in 10 years, or could it be a springboard onto better things?

 

If the scenario is to win now then nothing after for 10 years, I think I'd rather wait. If up in the air, I'd take it now and hope Pardew turns out to somehow be the next Alex Ferguson (I know I know).

If we get to the final, do you think either Pardew or Ashley will decide enough is enough, they've laid the 'Can't be bothered with cups' criticism to bed, and that throwing the cup, thus avoiding Europe, would make survival easier for next season?

 

Personally wouldn't put it past them.

This fits the "deluded Geordies expecting too much" stereotype, but winning a trophy now would be bittersweet because I barely even recognise the club these days. I've spent the majority of my life having an intense love for a club that's barely had a sniff at a trophy. If the Ashley era has taught me one thing, it's that silverware isn't the apex of supporting a football club.

 

I think back to my fondest memories as a fan and I think of Feyenoord, Juventus, etc. Those occasions weren't exhilarating for their proximity to actual silverware. They simply typified the identity of the club at the time - it was a club to be proud of. I'd rather have that than winning the League Cup under this administration.

 

Obviously, I would love for the club to - one day - become successful and win things, but silverware is the sum of several parts we simply do not have. Ultimately, it's not a question we need to worry about.
