Jack Flash Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Not sure thats as bad as people make out tbh. Fair enough its not the first thing i would say but its hardly a shocking assessment Like I said... You going to stalk me like you do with David or you going to be a good boy and try posting something worthwhile? Dont worry i know the answer.... Still can't take a joke then Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 The only context in which that quote isn't utterly fucking weird would be if he was asked, "Give us a weird quote about Debuchy?" I'm guessing the actual question was "How has Debuchy looked so far?" or something to that effect, to which any other manager would respond "he's done well and he's a good pro".

JH Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Chris Ford @ChrisFordTV AP on Debuchy's 1st week "don't know why we bothered to buy him. He's got nothing on Danny." #NUFC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Knowing Pardew and watching us for the last half of the season he probably literally has the squad pulling up trees in some kind of Rocky 4-esque rigorous training regime. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 It's a sad day when I feel compelled to stick up for Pardew Maybe he just means he's added defensive solidity. Chances are Debuchy hasn't been involved in an attacking training session yet I think it's supposed to be an encouraging quote that he's defending well/doing his primary job etc ...I've fallen into the trap of taking what Pardew says even remotely seriously though, so shame on me.

Or Pards is pissed off that he wants to actually attack as well as defend and is trying to get him to not cross half way - most likely Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Its a nothing meant comment, we look at it because Pardew drivels so often it almost a sport now. Good pro, our wingers getting nothing from him. Good, i rather like the sound of a solid defender after watching Simpson for the last 6 months.

In other words he didn't hoof it into oblivion every time the ball came near him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Well, if he's trying to bed Debuchy into the team and trying to instil his footballing values - that might not be too far off the mark, nufc4eva - (not sure if you're being facetious). Our main problem according to Pardew will be our leaky defence. He will get Debuchy to focus on getting the basics right first, I imagine. (ie. nothing fancy, just defending!)

Benwell Lad Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Maybe he used "trees" so it could be used as yet another stick for his detractors to beat him with, even in one of the only positive threads left on here. BTW are there any threads remaining which haven't yet descended into predictable boring "Pardew's shit" type stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I'm pretty sure he just doesn't understand what the expression means and thinks he's saying that Debuchy hasn't been causing any commotion, just getting on with things like a good pro. He probably thought he was paying Debuchy a compliment, the cabbage. The man says "we was" for fuck sake, we can hardly expect him to use idioms correctly.

BTW are there any threads remaining which haven't yet descended into predictable boring "Pardew's shit" type stuff. No it was literal. "Mathieu, see those trees 60 yards away, every time the ball comes near you, hit them" Debuchy had the audicity to ignore this and tried to pass the ball, which has angered Pardew.

And probably why players find him an ok manager, strange but you don't find many players slating him.
