Dr Venkman Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I'm thinking of dropping it altogether which for me only means not watching the majority of games on TV and my laptop and actually being in attendance for 5-10 of them. However I know people who can't be arsed with their season tickets anymore, others who have had the joy sucked out of it for them and are sick of pointless away trips. This is the situation we're in. Football isn't fun anymore and it's this daft c***'s fault. This cycle comes and goes with people; some come back to being regular attendees/watchers, some drift off into other interests in their life and only read the scores in the paper. The same thing was written a thousand times after the Keegan fiasco, the 'novelty' of winning every other week in the Championship brought some people back/attracted others. The same thing was written a thousand times after Hughton was sacked and Pardew appointed/Carroll sold, the novelty of the 5th placed finish brought some people back/attracted others. Don't suppose it's much fun to feel so apathetic about a club you feel you're emotionally and intellectually invested in but perhaps you'll be brought back in the not too distant future. Great points Stu. To add to that though, the home crowds would be nowhere near what they are now if it wasn't for the large family section filling up many seats. These cheaper family options are what's keeping the gates up. Honestly and truthfully, our matchday group are so fed up with watching this drivel week in, week out. We really are to a man. I've never really been one for chasing a manager out, but these performances, given the squad we have, are easily the worst I've ever seen in many years following the team. The fans are fed up, the players obviously don't believe in what they are asking them to do, you don't looked forward to the match at all. Home games are slightly better but is there actually any point in going to away games? I'm on a rant now, but have you seen what he has Steven Taylor doing in front of the opposition goalkeeper when he's trying to line up his wall. It's plain classless, what you'd expect to see in the local park when two pub teams are playing. Please just get rid off him. Giving him a few months at the start of next season means we'll be playing catch up from October / November. GET RID! There's loads and loads of things to criticise Pardew for. You don't need to attribute something that Saylor learned from Nolan to him. I honestly think Saylor would do that whoever the manager was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dontooner Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Hope common sense will prevail at the end of the season. Trying to Adopt Ajax business model will never work here if we have a long ball manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Good luck to Ian W on his general 10-4 shift tomorrow trying to defend that shit. Fuck off. They're just words, man! Interpolic perfectly described what would happen in the future but they're just words! There's no need for you to be an idiot as well mate, don't get dragged down. Man, just catching up with this properly. Don't get dragged down Jack, avoid it. Ian. What do you mean by don't get dragged down? What do you mean by fuck off? What do you mean by anything? Your wooly wummery has got even worse if anything since I was harsh about it last week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 4/1 favourite to be next Premiership manager down the job centre. I know Ashley likes a bet, hope he's lumping on!

Interpolic Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Is it not just because there are not really many alternatives all of a sudden? I'd love it to be true, but nah - going shopping at Stratford Westfield with my girlfriend beckons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaizero Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 It's very damming that between us we have posted nearly 1000 pages about this inconsequential idiot of a manager, who has removed any enjoyment from watching the team we all love Nearly 2000 pages, you mean.

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 That's quite a jump That can't only be a few bets? Can't imagine it would take a great deal tbh. I was just shocked that he jumped to favourite. Though thinking about it I imagine most PL managers jobs would be safe (apart from Pards) with most below or around us being new in their job (bar Martinez). Maybe Pulis would theoretically come close, but they'll never sack him I woudn't reckon. So maybe Pards should be the favourite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 A few select bets from one or more people in the North East would have odds tumbling. Obviously there's the chance that those bets are based on inside info but generally it'll just be the bookies trying to limit their liability.
