Alan Pardew

[Benwell Lad]

I know Gouffran in particular f***ing loves the Evening Chronicle. His confidence is going to be negatively affected by 35-40%.

 

a) If he's saying this in the press, he'll more than likely be saying it in the dressing room - the depressing bastard that he is.

 

b) As if the players just go home from training and sit in a dark room with their fingers in their ears going "LA LA LA LA LA LA". They'll know exactly what he's saying.

 

There has NEVER been a manager in football who says the same things in the press as he does in the dressing room.

The "assumptions" surrounding Pardew on here really are getting a bit silly.

or he's lying through his teeth in order to give Morecombe proper respect and not just to be perceived to be arrogantly looking down at them and saying something completely different to the players.

 

Judging on previous form, I know which one is more likely to be correct

the one which fits better with the current agenda? Sorry but its an annoyance of mine, theres plenty out there for people to have a go at him for without this kind of thing which every prem manager would say something along the same lines to the press.

 

He said if they get physical we'll lose ffs

 

There's showing respect and there's utter fucking madness.

You don't get it do you? Whether every prem manager would or wouldn't say it (plenty wouldn't, by the way) isn't the issue. The issue is that we're shit, we've been shit for longer than a season now, and this dick is still trotting out the same old tired negative shite that he always has. He needs to do something different and that includes the things he says as much as the negative tactics.

he's right, we get into a physical game with them we're doing something very wrong when we should be using our (in theory) superior technical ability to beat them.

Because evidence on the pitch would suggest he's an extremely positive man in the dressing room. Fair play.

We should be doing that at least 50% of the time in the league as well.

[Guest neesy111]

We should be going there, focused on winning and winning well.  Forget about the opposition, need to concentrate on our own game.

Exactly. It's a fact of football from grassroots to the highest level that inferior teams will try to make the game a physical one to get the upper hand. All he's saying here is that we need to use our technical ability to win, not 'MORECAMBE ARE MINT AND WE'RE GOING TO GET BUMMED'.

 

There are so many things he can be rightly criticised for, standard pre-game comments aren't one of them. Unfortunately if you're anti-Pardew on here though, you have to be against every single thing he says/does.

[Dave]

As I mentioned before, personally I wouldn't have much of a problem with him being pleasant towards lower league cup opposition if his NUFC didn't get rolled over by them on a regular basis.

 

Will anyone be genuinely shocked or surprised if we go out tonight?

Whatever he's doing, he's been doing it for ages and we're fucking shit.

 

This. I've honestly lost track of what he does, I see nothing of any value happenning on the pitch...

I'd say there's probably a wealth of evidence that supports it, like. You might struggle to find any showing it's 'utter bollocks'.

Hopefully we'll win then and not be embarrassed by lower league opposition on national TV for the fourth season in a row under this manager.

 

Here's to that, all things considered.

I occasionally pitch in to defend Pardew if the criticism isn't grounded but I've had to give up really. Everything he does is bad :up:

True...

[AyeDubbleYoo]

I like how this debate is happening and I haven't even posted.

[JH]

He's unnecessarily defeatist, he lies, he's tactically clueless and shows no intention of learning from his mistakes.

 

Is it any wonder that when he says unnecessary things like “If it comes down to just a physical game, we will lose” that people criticise him for it?

 

I've not seen one PL manager drawn against a lower league opposition team saying they'll lose if it gets physical. I've heard them say it'll be difficult, and that they have to be careful, but Pardew's practically setting the upset up for us in his comments. So unnecessarily negative - he should be giving the team a boost ahead of the game. It's a chance to get the season going.

 

I've had enough of it - and IMO it's justified anger, even if you think it's me being biased because I think he's an utter cretin.

[Jack Flash]

I've had a look at what other PL managers were/are saying about their lower level opponents and I haven't seen anyone suggesting they'll lose.

 

Why did I even bother?

Some premier league managers get the support of their board. Ours have worked to force him out because they ''can't afford'' to sack him. He's an a position to get sacked because they ''couldn't afford'' to back him a the right time - i.e summer.

 

I'm never surprised by his negativity. He's doing his job with his hands tied behind his back - a job he isn't spectacular at in the first place to an expectant crowd.

 

Up shit creek without a paddle basically.

Aye, he was a barrel of laughs before this season

[Darth Crooks]

Like Dave says it wouldn't be easier to ignore and put down as manager speak if we'd put up an iota of fight or flair in these cup competitions; as it stands we've lost out on several occassions with the negative press, negative football and negative impact all having a correlation. Pretty justified.
