Comparing Chelsea and Newcastle vs Benfica? Seriously?

 

Look at Rafa's body of work in his entire career and look at Pardew's career. The answer is plain and simple. If you can't see that and decided you're going to base it on a cup final then you need your damn head checked.

 

I've seen plenty of Rafa Benitez to know he will be hounded out by our fans at the first sign of a below par season once they realise his football isn't much better than Pardew's.

 

I reckon Pardew's "not much better" football would be much more popular if it resulted in winning some games every now and then like.

 

Plenty of people suggesting they knew last season, when we were "winning some ganes every now and then" that our football was dire and Pardew was a fraud. Granted, I don't remember there being many actually voicing that opinion.

 

To be fair just went through my posts and both me and Mick especially strongly disagreed with Pardew. Got ridiculed back then but there were some who were voicing their concern.

 

I said as much, and I do indeed remember you two expressing doubts. You were in a small minority though back then, which was my point.

 

I think Dave said it right recently: as a manager you need either results or attractive play to survive. Alas, we currently have neither.

 

And you're questioning a guy who HAS RESULTS vs the guy who currently doesn't and then used the style of play argument against the manager who's won significant trophies in his career and his clubs have finished near the top of the league!

 

Am I missing something in your argument man? If so, total apologies for losing my mind over this.

 

What you are missing is the post that seems to have tipped you over the edge wasn't defending Pardew, it was questioning what people criticising Pardew's style of play and stating as a reason above all others why they want him gone yet advocating Rafa as a good replacement are seeing that I'm not.

 

Ah okay. Results. That's why. Proven winner.

 

:lol:

 

Read it again if you don't believe me.
