HaydnNUFC Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 (edited) 2 hours ago, Mattoon said: The replies to this just made me lose the contents of my stomach, how do so many people think Pardew was "streets ahead" of our Rafa???? In order of the *gritted teeth* job they did. Howe Benitez Pardew Bruce Carver McClaren In order of feeling towards them, top being like the most and bottom being hate the most. For me anyway. Howe Benitez McClaren Carver Pardew Bruce Feels harsh on Benitez that he isn't at least equal with Howe given I hung off every word of his when he was here tbf. But the game's the game. McClaren did an absolutely dreadful job. Benitez proved in the final 6 games that there was a decent side there that should never ever have been relegated. Hate to think how many internationals were in that 2015-16 team. But he was just an uninspiring wet flannel who conjured up no hatred, just a 'meh'. Good analogy for the Ashley NUFC at the time tbf. I certainly had nowhere near the hatred for McClaren as I do for Bruce and Pardew. Carver was just incompetent to the point where whenever he opened his mouth it was just embarrassing. Should never, ever have been given the job. We had 30 points from 23 matches in January when he was appointed interim manager. We just stayed up on the final day of the season with 39 points. That Carver was given the job, who almost ended up taking us down, to wait for McClaren to become available whose Derby team imploded in the Championship who ended up taking us down the following season anyway is just Thomas Tuchel said he would've been very interested in the job had we approached him when Pardew left. For fuck sake man. Didn't have the dislike of Pardew I have now when he was here but I really resent the revisionism of him 'because 5th you know'. Been over his impact on this club many times before. Still hasn't worn off of some of our fans imo. Despise Bruce with every fraction of my being. Without doubt the manager I've hated the most out of any. Heinous cunt. Edited July 4, 2023 by HaydnNUFC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danh1 Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Unsurprisingly a lot of NUFC Twitter rate Pardew’s job here higher than Benitez. Everyone is entitled to an opinion but that infuriates me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 (edited) We're not far away from future generations trying to claim Klose was a better international footballer than Ronaldo because they've checked the stats and can see that he scored more goals at World Cups. That 5th and two mid-table finishes are similar. They hide everything like. Edited July 4, 2023 by Kid Icarus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone is entitled to an opinion but that infuriates me IMO it's strictly because of the 5th season and everything else is forgotten about. People on Twitter remember that season; I remember 2012-13 and 2013-14 where we regularly got battered and excuse after excuse was made. 'Europa League's fault', 'thank God we're not in Europe', 'we can't compete with Swansea and Southampton', 'science'. Losing 0-6 at home, losing 0-3 at home to Sunderland twice on the bounce, the sheer amount of pastings we took at SJP in the second half of 2013-14. I saw someone claim that Pardew has a 5th and a 10th placed finish. That 10th place finish forgets a huuuuge amount of context. That was 2013-14; we were 6 points off top on Boxing Day. We sold Cabaye at the end of January and fell to bits; we only won 4 of out the last 15 matches and that included a record breaking 6 consecutive defeats and a record breaking run of falling to score in 4 consecutive home matches. And the scorelines of the home defeats post Cabaye; 0-3, 0-4, 0-3, 0-4, 1-2. That second half of 2013-14 was the most miserable I've ever been as a Newcastle fan until the COVID era Bruceball. As you can tell, any of our fans trying to dress that season up as a positive for Pardew has me absolutely rattled.

People say that, but I use cunt on a daily basis, and sometimes I even use it affectionately. Though not Pardew et al - they’re cunts There are other words to describe people perjoratively which I’d never use though.

LiquidAK Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 19 hours ago, 54 said: I actually rate McClaren higher then Bruce, atleast with him there was some semblance of a plan with how we tried to play football, he also seemed like a genuine person, and when it started to go really off the rails you could physically see how much it meant to him. Bruce had none of that and basically relied on luck, he was contemptuous towards the fans, and had the media in his corner telling us how good he was despite what we saw with our own eyes. For me: Carver Bruce McClaren Pardew Rafa Howe This was exactly my list, aside from you doing it worst to best when everyone else had done it the other way and making me jump for a second thinking you'd put Carver first As an aside, anyone who has Rafa anywhere lower than 2nd needs their hard drive checked.
