Yorkie Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Hoping for some turn in fortune when Saylor, Ben Arfa and Cabaye are back in the team around end of march. Krul Debuchy-Taylor-Coloccini-Santon Anita-Tiote-Cabaye Ben Arfa-Marveaux Cisse That´s a f***ing impressive team, miles better than the one that got relegated. March could well be too late. Fortunately i think the whole relegation battle is going to be extremely tight right until the end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I'm finding it difficult to get angry about him anymore because he should have gone six weeks ago. Can't believe you were that patient. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krul Debuchy-Taylor-Coloccini-Santon Anita-Tiote-Cabaye Ben Arfa-Marveaux Cisse That´s a f***ing impressive team, miles better than the one that got relegated. People used to say we were too good to go down when we did get relegated. The bottom line is if the manager is an idiot and the team are showing no fight it doesn't matter how good the team looks on paper. This. The cardinal sin in apparently teams to good to go down is the players and staff being in utter denial about it, never mind the fans. Our next run of domestic games is a complete nightmare in honesty. They simply have to get points out them all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stozo Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Feel for him with the Cisse thing - he'll have prepared with Ba in the middle and to lose him on the day of the game makes things very difficult. To accommodate Cisse in middle he'd have had to change the formation from the one which he has prepared the team to play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Eggenberger Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I don't think we should sack him, after all he did get us to fifth. BUT we do need a stern f***ing word telling him that if we get relegated he's get the sack. Still can't get over his squad selection tonight, Cisse was gagging to be great but Pards tactics denied him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing thats too good to go down is my Mother. Never said the team was too good to go down, although I think it´s highly unlikely. Just hoping we will see an upturn in our results when three key players return from injuries and one new sexy bastard hits the ground running. I am willing to give Pardew time to try and sort it out when he is better equipped with personnel to do so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletor Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 We were much worse when we went down last time though. It's about the same. This game was basically the 0-0 against Pompey where they played keep ball for the last 10 minutes and our players didn't give a shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big Al Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 As it stands, i'd only want Pardew out of here if i knew we were going to make strides to buy another manager. Preferably somebody from the continent. I don't know who, but i can't think of any managers in this league we'd pay off. Pardew out would probably mean Kinnear in, and I'm not even joking. And what's the difference, would you be so kind to elaborate? Kinnear is shockingly clueless. So is AP. no doubt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I have no confidence that Pardew will set out squad up any different though, Long balls and sporadic wing play with a central midfield set up on the edge of our own penalty area. We have nothing through the center which leaves us with nothing when Cisse is marked and our wings shut down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Our squad etc were worse last time around, but the fact is our league form was better then than it is now (I think we've two points less now than we had at the same stage of the season in 08/09). Despite the Keegan crisis, Kinnear and having a desperate squad of players, we're actually doing worse now. It's unforgivable. People can look at how we went down last time compared to what we have now all they want, as things stands we're heading for the drop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistle17 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 He's got to go, surely tonight cements that. No one can deny this, yet still I cant imagine it happening- hopefully Ashley shows his ruthless side once again. Another unforgivable performance. Our team and everything about it is just full of negative trends at the moment. Confidence is low, tactics are lethargic and thoroughly negative, Ba leaving is negative, our position and results are all negative. We need a change, and fast. 2 wins (6 points) from our last 11 games. If that's not relegation and 'sackable' form then tell me what is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 The last ten minutes tonight were horrendous but any attacks were completely held up because we had Ranger, Cisse and Shola crammed into a ten-sq-metre area, and no pace out on the wings. I've fucking no idea why he took Obertan off. From Pardew's point of view, his matches are littered with faults and fuck-ups - but there seems to be one stand-out SHIT decision. Shola for Bigi was Arsenal... Bigi for Obertan was tonight's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could have had three goals before half time today, I can't remember us doing that much in the relegation season. The game fell apart towards the end tonight, but we weren't that bad for the first 2/3 of the match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would cost the club money and look stupid to transfer targets. I'm by no means content with Pardew but sacking him is pointless because we won't get anyone better. We only stand to lose.

Ishmael Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 For the first time I am genuinely worried about Pardew's suitability for the job. I know I've posted some harsh criticisms of him in the last few weeks, but most of what I spew on here is instantaneous emotional drivel; the words I type don't look anything like the opinions I form once I've mulled over things for a while. And so, he has three games to save his Newcastle career - and quiet probably his top flight career too. He must get 6 points from the next 3 games.
