Guest Haris Vuckic Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 There are a surprising number of people who seem to think that Pardew is suddenly going to metamorphose into a top class manager, We might even COMPLETELY ACCIDENTALLY finish 5th again.

BrettNUFC Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I've said it many times, i'm completely writing last season off. I'm not going in to the 'excuses' but i thnk it was plain to see it was a torrid time for everyone at the club. We won't be going there again. In general terms we do have a very good record at SJP and known to be poor away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be playing a false 9 at this rate, convinced we have pissed Cisse off because Pardew hates the thought of us scoring goals. Sell him and buy a defender - 6ft 4 one as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, entirely different how your opinion sees the standard of our side the way you look at it. Personally i think it's filled with class and we are capable of competing. Others think we won't be anywhere near. For me it's one good season/one bad season and im optimistic to think we can bounce back again and have another good one and i'm looking forward to it. Others are dreading it, i can see why and i respect their opinions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His post made me sigh. Well you just keep fuelling the negativity around the upcoming season. Entirely your choice to do so if that's how you wish to get through what are clearly difficult times at the club. I'd rather just be more optimistic in that next season will be a turnaround. I'm not really fussed if i'm one of few walking into SJP come WH game thoroughly expecting a win and loving the new season has arrived and hope to get good results. Others will be walking in saying we are going to get beat and Pardew will be gone by Xmas. Each to their own, keep sighing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 There are a surprising number of people who seem to think that Pardew is suddenly going to metamorphose into a top class manager, despite all the evidence to the contrary on his CV and they are basing their views of a much better performance next season on that. I find this staggering because we have not even improved on the squad we had last season as well as looking likely to lose some of our better players. The optimism displayed by some is entirely without foundation - there is very little happening at the club that is positive. Can i point out that this certainly wouldn't be me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrettNUFC Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Ok so go into the season thinking we are shit, suppose at least you won't get let down. And i'm being optimistic because the players at the club excite me, i look at our team now and i just can't wait to get them all out there starting next season. I’m not just being optimistic for the sake of it, i actually love a big core of the players we have at the club and i think it's a privilege that they play for us.

Sorry if the optimism is too much for you. It's not 'too much' for me, although I do think that writing off last season is ridiculous, even more ridiculous than Inochi stating that Pardew's record before he came here counted for nothing. Between the two of you we've got a fucking class manager like. My initial 'sigh' was in response to Ian, purely because he supposedly thinks it's fine to write off last season but not the season before it, just sounds stupid to me. As for loving the players, I've got a lot of time for most of our lot so I'm not sure where you're going with that one, it's the goon giving them instructions that's spoiling the party.

Guest icemanblue Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I picked a good time to check in on the day's events. Guess my warm ears weren't just from this weather. I can't even remember saying that, so fair play Venky. That's a great memory. I couldn't trouble you for the context of that comment, could I?

Dr Venkman Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Hi. I don't remember the exact context but I seem to remember the conversation was with Mick and it was one of those 'which season is his true ability' discussions. He was saying that his record before he came here wasn't great so we could assume that last season was closer to the truth, you said you didn't care about his record before he came here as it was irrelevant and that you'd judge him solely on what he did as our manager. I was part of the conversation too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettNUFC Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Just making up quotes how we think Pardew is a brilliant manager i think. I know i've certainly never said anything as such. Optimism seems to turn into Pardew loving apparently. I'll back him because he's in charge of our current crop and with the standard he has available to choose from i think he'll deliver. By no means does that mean to say he is a brilliant manager, far from. However if you want go along with thinking I think Pards is a mastermind maestro of a manager, feel free.

I don't think either should be written off, but last season shouldn't be thought of as 'our level' just because it's more recent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, I'm in no way 'dragging' up these posts of yours to try and prove anything btw, just that this conversation did actually happen, and that I wasn't making it up. Mick - His CV suggests that last season wasn't the norm, why should we go through another season like this one to find out what we already know? Inochi - I don't care about his CV, mate. I'll make my own judgement. Mick - I don't think you can ignore the past just because it wasn't with us, he has a history and he's repeating it here. Even our good season was more down to results than performances. You don't have to make every mistake possible in life, you can see others make them and learn from them. Inochi - Right, fair enough, you don't have to ignore it. I'm not pretending to not at least be aware of it, but I obviously don't think it has as much of a bearing on what wi happen here. I've made my judgements on him based on his time here, that won't change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
