Happy Face Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 If Villa get a point today we'll be in exactly the same position as we were last season after the same number of games. Hopefully we can carry on picking up points and avoid dropping away from where we are. Oh god, I sense a pie chart of some sort to come out and disprove this post as not true won one more lost one more scored 2 more conceded 2 more one more point 1 place better off.

It's testament to Pardew that we've managed such a massive improvement with only Remy, Sissoko, Gouffran, Debuchy etc and the lack of that goddamned Europa League assisting him.

Cajun Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 If we beat the mackems I might have to re-asses my opinion of the bloke. There were other factors but the biggest contributing factor to our poor season last time around was him being a massive fanny. This season he has shown that a little but has also shown like he might actually have a spine, the derby is exactly the sort of game last season's Pardew would have shit his pants about and tried desperately just not to lose, if we go for it and win he might start winning me around again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said before that the first 10 games last season were about the standard I would expect from us, despite others insisting the entire season was a disgrace. We've repeated it again early on this year. Question is if we can keep it up through to Christmas and beyond. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Thought more of you than that Jon. We've started by getting 11 points from 8, failing to control games as per, and if we beat the worst team in the league next week you'll reassess your opinion?

That being said, what comes out of his mouth will probably prevent him ever being wholly popular among the support. Even if he had us up there with a shout of the Champions League places. For the past three seasons (inc. this one) he's had a talented squad at his disposal. Based on the previous two campaigns, he/we slightly overperformed in one, and seriously underperformed in the other. When I say 'slightly', the team that barely missed out on Champions League qualification belonged in that season's Top 6, imo. That changes now because the league, certainly the top half, is a lot stronger. Anything below 10th this season would be poor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've repeated it again early on this year. Question is if we can keep it up through to Christmas and beyond. After the first 10 games of last season we were below West Ham, West Brom and Fulham. Is that really the standard you would expect? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 He'll not win me round, but he can make his time here a bit more tenable by not getting us relegated by putting out teams to player, to win and have a go. Whatever happens after that is down to the players. Sooner he's gone the better, that simply won't change for me unless he delivers a cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 We were doing okay points-wise by about ten games in last season, but the performances were awful and set the tone for the catastrophe that ensued. The terrible fitness was evident from the word go and never improved, meanwhile there were various shite performances where we barely won points; away to Everton, away to Reading, a drab home game against Villa, a miracle victory against West Brom - to name a few. That November fiasco - where we lost four winnable games in a row - had been coming, and was one of the worst runs I'd ever witnessed. When we lost at the death against Stoke... man alive. Terrifying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Aye that November run was awful, one of my mates bet another of my mates 20 quid that we would lose 4 in a row, if he had have put that on at the bookies he would have got a decent return.

We've started by getting 11 points from 8, failing to control games as per, and if we beat the worst team in the league next week you'll reassess your opinion? Indeed. Any improvement this season is being measured by last season, which any half decent manager should be able to better. We didn't lose 6-0 at home to Liverpool this year? Well done, Alan.

Foluwashola Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 If we maintain this form throughout the season we'll finish top half tbf. Not anything to write home about, but to say an improvement hasn't been seen is just factually incorrect bollocks. Don't understand the 'he'll never win me round' attitude either tbh. Surely as a Newcastle fan you can only hope that he gets the team playing well consistently and wins you round? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 All I want from this Newcastle team is a team that isn't going to roll over which I expected us too on Saturday, I would also like us to kill games off. Small steps, we did one this week hopefully the other next week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although for some, blaming the fans, using bullshit excuses and taking the fans for fools would mean unrepairable damage i would think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reassess your opinion ffs. None of that bothers me because I rarely read/listen/watch his interview for 2 reasons. 1. He will always defend himself and his boss so will make ridiculous excuses to try and deflect the blame. This will piss me off, so why read? 2. Even if he has valid points certain people will twist them on here to be a negative and it's tedious. This will piss me off, so why read? All I care about is how we are performing on the pitch, last season we put in far too many pathetically cowardly performances. This season we seem to be having a bit more of a go, even looking like we might try and win the odd game. If we continue in this manner and improve our general play then I will be a lot happier than I was with him at the start of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally the current manager will provide us with a good campaign. I'd like to think he has an opportunity to win people's support back if we continue on this gentle upward incline.
