Alan Pardew

[Skirge]

He may be a gobshite, but it doesn't give an excuse to call him a drunk, ffs! He's always been opinionated - was apparently no different when he played for us. At least he speaks his mind, rather than banal tat that some pundits come out with.

 

Just because he speaks his mind doesn't make it worthwhile, he may be off the drink but he is a bitter bitter jealous man.

 

That's fair enough, Skirge. My issue is with those calling him a pisshead, time after time again.

 

Have to say in my first reaction/post I called him a pisshead but its not really anything to do with what he said. He may still be drinking I don't know but whenever I hear him on the radio or read his shit in the paper he always comes across as a player hater and I thik its to do with money. Moncur is the same not as bad but still always negative putting players down looking for issues where there aren't any.

 

I may be wrong its just how I perceive him, just my opinion I know its criminal on here to have one of those.

 

 

might be a little bit of envy of the money skirge- but I think these older generation players just dont like the whinging, diving, cheating, shit that goes on in the modern game- Cant blame them for that its fucking bullshit. They played at a time when they would have been chopped in half for some of that shit , and the ref would have looked away.

 

Oh am with you on older pro's hating the modern day pansy players but that is not what he is going on about, he is spouting off about the club he says he loves, nothing he has said there can do any good no matter if he is right or not.

A Typical Alan Pardew Performance?

 

 

43 mins ago by Toon Bano

 

As we managed to fall over the line to a 1-0 ‘win’ over QPR its got to be said that was one of the worst games of football I have ever seen in my whole life.

 

Caused by mainly two things;

 

a) QPR being one of the worst teams that have ever shown up at St James’ Park and

 

b) Our defensive starting line up.

 

Those two miserable things cancelled each other out into an insufferable bore fest that would kill anyone’s Christmas spirit no matter how jolly they were feeling prior to kick off.

 

But this kind of performance from us on our own patch against a completely inferior side is no surprise whatsoever to all of us, or it shouldn’t be, it’s a typical Alan Pardew performance which we have come to expect in his 2 years here as manager. We didn’t exactly ‘win’ that game on Saturday afternoon but just managed to get the ball into their net on that bare minimal occasion, as the opposition had no chance of doing the same to us. QPR were hopeless. We were not much better.

 

If it became public that Pardew’s tactics are to strangle a game to death for 70 minutes and then try and steal it with his subs, then I would believe it. The thought of hammering a far inferior team for 90 mins making the afternoon not just more entertaining but a whole lot easier for us, doesn’t even enter his brain. We could/should have won that game by 2 or 3 goals without a problem if only Pardew had the ambition to do so. His starting line up sums him up.

 

Why on God’s green earth Pardew picked that starting line up against a team who have only won one game all season is one of the most baffling, negative, inexplicable team sheets I have ever seen. Having James Perch AND Checik Tiote in the same starting line up, alongside Anita in the middle of the park, was totally unnecessary.

 

Was Alan Pardew THAT scared of Adel Taarabt? A player who is as consistent as the sun staying out in summer. If Taarabt played well last week, chances are he won’t be as good this week. That’s what players like him are like. Sure enough he was abysmal. He offered barely no threat to our defence, yet Tiote and Perch played for 70 mins until Cheick was withdrawn. Ridiculous.

 

Arguably those weren’t the most inexcusable factors of our starting line up. No, that honour goes to the decision to not just play a defender and holding midfielder together but to also play Jonas Gutierrez in the left wing position. Sweet Jesus Christ! The thought of this line up for a home game against Queens Park Strangers makes me want to burst out laughing in terrified bemusement. But Pardew actually did it! We had Jonas, Anita, Tiote and Perch as part of a front 6 with Cisse stuck out on the right wing. This is literally mind boggling considering the importance of a win and the quality of the opposition.

 

Playing the most defensive ‘wide player’ we have arguably had in our 120 year history in the advanced left wing position of a 4-3-3 is probably the LAST thing I would choose given the options available. I kid you not. I would rather we had played Sylvain Marveaux, Gab Obertan, Demba Ba, Papiss Cisse, Sammy Ameobi, Davide Santon, Shane Ferguson or Shola Ameobi in that position before Jonas Gutierrez and I am not just saying that for dramatic effect.

 

Yet lo and behold ‘Mr 8 year contract in the back pocket’ went and did it! Incredible. The fact the game was still 0-0 with no shots on target by the time he was dragged off was of no surprise to me or any of us whatsoever. What a waste of attacking space.

 

As soon as Sylvain Marveaux came on the pitch after 75 minutes of nothingness, he got himself an assist within 3 minutes. That’s THREE minutes. Just imagine what he could have done with 90 minutes to work with. He almost got himself a goal just 2 minutes after that. He literally did more  in 5 minutes than Jonas Gutierrez managed to achieve in an hour. Now I am not saying Jonas is a terrible player, I am saying if you’re going to insist on playing him, then do it in a position that suits his game because he certainly isn’t a flying winger. He hasn’t been one of those since about the year 2009. Wake the hell up Pardew.

 

In fact, why am I even wasting my time by suggesting to Pards to wake up? It’s never going to happen. This is a man who thinks we have actually been playing well recently. He has been quoted several times using the words ‘in form’ to describe our recent games. He is a madman. He must be spending his Christmas at the head of a table wearing a mad hat, sipping tea with a white rabbit and some shrunken down blonde girl next to a vanishing cat that won’t stop grinning. Pardew is on another planet to the rest of us. When he believes things like ‘we have been playing well recently’ is when he totally unintentionally exposes his standards as a manager. Only an average manager who is used to fighting relegation every season would think that what we have been churning out over the past few games is of a decent standard.

 

The loss at Stoke wasn’t a good performance, we lost. We lost to two soft avoidable goals and created next to nothing in chances. Our performance at Fulham wasn’t good, we lost. We lost to two soft avoidable goals and created next to nothing in chances. Our performance against Man City wasn’t  better and we lost. We lost to three soft avoidable goals (whilst being ripped apart consistently) and created next to nothing in chances. It’s a recurring theme. If that theme is the definition of ‘playing well’ and ‘being in form’ with the quality of the our squad available then you’re either lying or you’re topping yourself up at your mental tea party with Alice and the twins. Sheer madness.

 

 

Simply utterly bang on.

[ponsaelius]

3 DM + Jonas at home against QPR summarize the bloke.

 

 

I go back to it, but they had Taarabt, Faurlin & Granero in there. Forget the fact they're 19th or whatever, they're 3 bloody good players. They never had a sniff all match apart from one moment where Taarabt skinned all three and played in Cisse.

 

I don't even think it was anything to do with that, he stuck with the team that allegedly (didn't go) played well against City and rightly so. Even then, aside from Marveaux there is no-one else to put in really and even then many on here would advocate putting him on the wing. Anita barely played as a defensive minded player either.

 

I can understand a midfield of Tiote Perch Anita against City, less when it's QPR. Anita isn't as defensive as Perch, even if he played RB at the start of the season, but he surely isn't as attacking minded than Marveaux.

 

Perch was terrible on Saturday IMO. I don't think he's at all good enough for NUFC.

 

Well unfortunately under Ashley he is good enough and that's half our problem.

[Optimistic Nut]

Soooo, we didn't "win" the game against QPR, but Stoke wasn't a good performance because we lost? Hypocrisy at it's best.

People will lap him up because he tries hard though.

It can't be, only non match going people on here think like that.

Spot on there.  Last 2 games in particular the game has simply passed him by and he has little influence on the game.

[Parky]

That thing from 'The MAG' is spot on. Pardew is simply the biggest clown since Ronald McDonald.

 

The football that has been dished up this season is like Fukashima on acid.

[Greg]

I like Perch, then again I like Mike Williamson but they're both shite and not good enough at this level.

Scarily so. Pardew is a defensive mentalist.

Simpson, Ryan Taylor, Shola. The list goes on.

 

Summer was the perfective opportunity to capitalise on our strong season and upgrade on all of these players that simply aren't good enough.

[BONTEMPI]

He simply is not what this club needs and people knew it when he was appointed. Until the fuckwit owning the club is gone and his retarded idea of how to run a football club, we will always be in the wilderness.  We got lucky last season and I think deep down everybody knew that wouldn't last.  Pardew is nothing more than a puppet that'll accept every decision they take.

Marvellous

[Wullie]

I know it's retreading old ground but I can't stand his approach to the game of football. It is so much easier to warm to a manager when they are clearly in it for the goals and the excitement and Pardew simply isn't and never will be. There's something to be said for winning ugly, every good team has to do it now and again, but I don't want a manager for whom it is Plan A.

 

I'm bloody sick of actually wanting us not to score early because the game will inevitably follow a well worn pattern from that point on of simply getting the ball as far from our own goal as possible without any thought of creating another chance or keeping hold of the ball.

Agree with everything you've said but it doesn't explain why he thinks football should be played as if it meant to torture the fans. Ok he is a crap manager, even crap ones play half decent football with shitter players than we have.

 

Him being a puppet doesn't mean Ashley has instructed him to play the way he does, i'm hoping Ashley is watching it and getting just as fucked off as us.........highly unlikely i know.

Aye, very good that like.

[Optimistic Nut]

The only thing more depressing than the football is some of the over-reactions on here. Fair enough he deserves some stick, but things like what BONTEMPI has posted there is ridiculous. It's like a comfortable mid-table finish followed by challenging for a Champions League spell should be ignored because of half a season. It's almost as if some people are in their element when there's something to whine about.
