DJ_NUFC Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Unreal how someone can keep their Pardew love intact after the season we just went through. Always amazes me how two different people can view the same thing very, very differently. I just don't know how to say this, Happy Face: you're wrong. That's all I have.

Did you read my answers to Wullie's questions? I've loathed Pardew since the day he was announced. The day we appoint a more capable manager I'll be delighted. Don't see it happening while Ashley is there though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottishMagpie Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I must admit I'm struggling to understand why some folk want him to stay. There's manager leaving his club, probably after winning the europa league (to add to the numerous trophies he's won in the past), who's stated he wants to stay in england and who knows how the game should be played.... leaving aside the fact that he might want to come nowhere near our club I can't believe someone of his pedigree is on the market (no compensation to be paid) and we're not interested in at least trying to tempt him. I'm just hoping the silence form the club is because they're in discussions with Rafa's agents. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see it happening while Ashley is there though. Just.... Wow. So you loathe Pardew, but are so negative that you don't want him sacked because of a fear of someone EVEN WORSE coming in? I'm just incredulous at that. If something's shit, it's shit. If something could be better, we should hope it gets better. Not worry that it might get worse. That's exactly like Pardew defending a 0-0 draw, worried that we might concede instead of trying to score at the other end. How can you loathe him? He's basically you.

Rafa would practically guarantee a top 7 finish for us, an excellent cup run and no fucking coward-like approaches to any matches. Quite frankly, a man of his knowledge and talent would reinvigorate everyone who supports and plays for this club. People would take notice and our top players wouldn't dare want to consider leaving.

ExiledGeordie Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Probably been mentioned already on here............. Pardew is taking fans phone calls on total sport on friday at 7pm. Or maybe it was between 6-7, either way he's on this friday Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 f***ing hell man it's proper shocking that the opposition are allowed someone to guard the goal line and make saves like, it's like they don't want us to score goals against them or something. Anyway I'm out, this is the most baseless argument I've ever read. It was baseless to say we create no chances. I'm not saying we overrun teams and create chance after chance. But we scored 2 and had one disallowed yesterday that could easily have been given. So we do make the opportunities. We didn't even create our goals though, QPR did. So Jonas gets no credit for chasing down on the second. Ben Arfa no credit for making a nuisance of himself on their box for the pen...or putting it away with aplomb...or Debuchy for the excellent cross onto Cisse's bonce for his power head to be disallowed? Of course they do, but Bosingwa being shit and not doing his job properly as well as the ball falling kindly for Gouffran were huge factors and clearly don't count as us creating chances. We pretty much just punished Bosingwa for being shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuy_O Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Rafa would join if it was on his terms, which sadly is the problem. Ashley no where near as ambitious. All he gives a fuck about is staying in the PL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 They will man, they'll let through some of the not-so-tough ones in comparison but will come off as very tough on the radio to the average bloke listening. Can't wait for him to talk about injuries, Europa, poor summer planning, Ba leaving, injuries, referee decisions etc again b/c we haven't fucking heard all of those on repeat all season long.

Just you wait They'll probably have that daft bloke on like last time, spouting on about some hats. Might try and call myself, I have an abundance of questions. What's been going on at half time? What are you going to do with Sissoko? Why is Cabaye consistently so deep and struggles to get in games in attacking positions? What is happening with Anita? Are you going to get more coaching staff in? How do you rate your own performance this year? Do you have a blueprint for the side next season? What was the rationale behind the Liverpool selection?

taxfree Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 1. Why do we approach games in such a negative way? We regularly start a game worrying about what the opposition are doing rather than letting them worry about us. 2. How are you going to address the issue with us sitting deep whenever we take the lead in a game? Is this down to your tactics or the players? 3. Surely we must have a greater plan B than simply bringing on Shola? Main ones. (via Hindu Times) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
