madras Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 We need a left footed left back as well, we have zero balance to our attacks must be so east to defend against our left side when 3/4's of the time they will cut inside. and yet santon seems to get past his man with ease. also on the occasions he does go outside its easier to find someone , even with your 'wrong' foot, if we have players making movement instead of waiting for an eye of the needle pass. against QPR he put a couple of decent balls in but we never had a forward doing the basics and thinking "gamble on the near post" but loitering marked between the 6yd box and pen spot. (same goes with obertan, he'll be a better player with better forward movement, the main rteason why if we want to play with one through the middle i'd pick cisse every time) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletor Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 My fondness has grown for him over Cuntgate. Proud that he has stood up against him. Yeah I think the improvement (albeit not enough yet) in style of play the last few games and the carry on with Fergie has reignited my support of Pardew a little bit.

Sometimes he's running like a crazy horse from the left to the right to give a 2 yard lateral pass, without any benefit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Finish him, Alan. I would love for him to come out with something smart (he is good at it), but it won't help anyone. It's a pity Ferguson's gonna have the last word on this whole thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a pity Ferguson's gonna have the last word on this whole thing. It's not a pity. Pardew has riled him. All he needs to do now is sit back with a smug grin on his face.

Yorkie Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 At the end of the day they still beat us, so i take little solace from Ferguson looking like a senile old twat. What's worse is that Ferguson will come out looking the victor, simply because it's Ferguson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Flash Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Pardew hasn't got a leg to stand on about the arguing with officials thing because of the push. A half intelligent person would have avoided getting into all this based on that very easy "comeback" but Alan "no comment" Pardew just needs to be in the headlines.

Yorkie Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 It's true that he doesn't have a leg to stand on; but in spite of that i'd have been disappointed had he not picked up on Ferguson's behaviour. Especially as a type of manager who stands up for his players week after week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEEJ Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 The difference here is that when he was quite clearly in the wrong, he admitted that. He apologised, he accepted his punishment and that was that. He didn't drag the whole thing out into a big saga then make petty little comments like auld baconface.

'no leg to stand on' is the wrong way of putting it, but with that event still fresh in the memory he left himself in the firing line. But, as i say, that doesn't bother me - i'd have been more annoyed had he not mentioned anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Flash Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Pardew got done because blatantly pushing a linesman is a much easier thing to punish someone for. He shouldn't have tried to fight this battle as he's throwing stones in a glass house. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Aye, if Ferguson had just apologised to the officials (yeah I know) this would be all over and he wouldn't look like such a tit. Both incidents were ridiculous, both happened in the middle of a football match, only one man had the decency to do the right thing after the match had finished.

That's the thing, it was 2 sentences after being asked about the situation. Though he does need to learn shut his gob at times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He shouldn't have tried to fight this battle as he's throwing stones in a glass house. I don't recall MU getting any favours from the referee on Boxing Day and don't see what AP is trying to achieve by picking a fight with the master of the mind game. What good does all this do for NUFC? How does pissing off SAF help our cause? The only outcome I can see from this is a thrashing next time we play MU.
