Darth Crooks Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 80 % Pardew, 10 % the board for not strengthening in the summer, 10% the players. Or there about. Re: Pilko's post. Yep Hard to quantify but the ownership stumped when things were needed in the end and the players are showing signs of descent with regard to the way they are playing.

cp40 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Here's one: If you had to allocate marks out of 100 regarding 'the blame' for this shitty season - how would you split it between Pardew and then 'everything else' as a two-way split? So would it be 50-50, 70-30 Pardew, etc? Everything else of course including injuries, tiredness after the EL, bad refereeing, the players, even sheer downright back luck and whatever else. Pardew 30 Investment 30 Europa strain 30 Injuries etc 15- cos they happen at every club opps just realised what was asked. Pardew 30/ 70 rest Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuy_O Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Challenge for the top ten. I've always wanted to be in there battling with Swansea, Fulham and West Brom. What dreams are made of tbh. Aye, we should be trying to knock Man Utd off there perch. So you're happy to concede the Europa positions to Liverpool and Everton then? Didn't say that, that's ideally what I want us to do.

Pilko Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Well actually, if people can be arsed to break 'everything else' down that's even better tbh, it's just a bit quicker grouping it all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Crooks Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Anyone care to quantify the effect these team talks? If these changes of approach are down to injuries and Europe and investment then I would be very surprised. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 It's not about apportioning blame, it's about accepting responsibility for the situation we're in. As manager he's ultimately responsible for both the results and the performances of his team. HIS team. If he's happy to get his cock sucked by the LMA when things are going well then he's got to be prepared to accept all responsibility for this shitstorm of a season. he fact he makes excuses and blames everyone and everything apart from himself makes me resent him even more. He's a coward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_Taylor Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 if he's still here next season, he knows he's got making up to do. think we'll get a full-on assault on the league and fa cups. The cups are no good to us, we'd have to play too many games and the players would be too tired. And we'd end up back in that horrible Europe thing.

Stu Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Have you only been following us for a couple of years? The seasons under Souness were far worse. It was probably worse, hardly far worse. He single handedly decimated a top-4 team in front of our eyes. It was dreadful stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Don't think I've ever been as unattached to football as I have been this season. To basically see the same shit week in, week out has been a fucking chore and to be honest, my enjoyment for the game has diminished rather quickly, that win against Chelsea and our Europa League run have been the only positives from this turgid season. I know there's other things to life other than football but I can't help but feel that the game is an important part of my life, it's just how it is and to receive no enjoyment for it is really saddening. Pardew's endless list of excuses, his tactics, the fucking 3-0 loss to the Mackems...sad to say this but fuck football man, it's basically ruined the majority of my weekends and I'm now holding Pardew mainly (not wholly) responsible for this sort of apathy - there's a lot of other factors that have contributed to this season's shitness as well such as shit refereeing and a lack of investment in the summer. Football can be a fickle game mind and I have been guilty of that on a fair few occasions but it's becoming increasingly difficult to keep my faith in a man who has fucked up in his role big time. Credit when credit is due and criticism when criticism is due and he is rightly receiving a lot of criticism. Have you only been following us for a couple of years? The seasons under Souness were far worse. How uncharacteristically condescending. Any chance of a repeat of last night's description of Stu? How chubz, no need for you to keep putting pennies in the slot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Well done for eloquently standing up for yourself in response to a daft cunt trying to belittle you. You're right, it was a good response. Still doesn't change the comment that the sourness season was more painful to endure. Nice to see your hangover wasn't too serious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 We should be battling it out with Liverpool and Everton so top 6 challenge is fair enough imo. Arsenal, Spurs and Chelsea are teams who should expect to finish above us but any of those slipping and we could get higher. Finishing above Man U/C is unrealistic. That's not to say finishing 7th or 8th is a failure but that is only if we have just fallen short. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Our aim this year was a top 8 finish according to the tactically inept one, he has a stronger team than the one thy finished 5th and no Europe to contend with and he expects us to swallow a top 10 target??

Aye, we should be trying to knock Man Utd off there perch. That should be the aim for every team. Spot on. And why does it have to be such extremes? Can't we aim slightly higher than top ten. top 6? sure he said we'd be challenging the top4 this season? In November. The man is off his tits.
