mrmojorisin75 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 let me clarify for those of you incapable of understanding (or deliberately being arseholes), in the comparison to the 5th season i was referring to the fact we got a lot of results in games where we were the second best team for major parts and nicked a goal through having a top quality striker, we rarely dominated teams home or away, we deliberately sat back on leads and rode our luck on many occasions, we had trouble breaking down teams who came to SJP and parked the bus we're a better attacking force now, play nicer football, but many of the same failings are there i'm afraid like everyone else, i'd be ecstatic if we finished 5th Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I literally don't think it's possible to finish 5th unless you're doing a lot of things right. We didn't dominate a lot of teams, but if you dominate a lot of teams and do everything else we did you finish higher than 5th anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Pardew has told us on countless occasions that Europe isn't something he can deal with so hopefully he'll get fifth again and resign. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 7th is the best we can realistically hope for with a sneaking possibility of 6th if Spurs go totally off the rails. Either would be good achievements which no one could knock, but we could just as easily end up 13th yet, there's a long way to go and we'll find out a lot more about this team by January.

Zero Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I honestly don't understand why we are lucky to have 3 points =/= Norwich are unlucky to have 0 point. Isn't that the same? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 A draw? Anyway it's not about us being lucky or Norwich being unlucky, it's just that the way we approach games when ahead relies on a lot of luck, or to put it a different way, on the opposition not playing well and/or not taking their chances. In a sense, when we sit back and allow the opposition to use the ball against us, we're lucky if they completely fail to make the most of it and take their chances, it's not like we're shutting teams out when we do this, Italian style.

Zero Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I don't think we are that bad against Norwich. I do agree we have chance to concede another goal but that is due to personnel error (Colo) rather than system failure. In the end we have performed well enough throughout the whole match to get the 3 points. Yes we definitely can do better but we deserved all 3 points. I wont count that as luck. Similar to Chelsea, we performed well enough to contain their threat and they only got one clear cut chance which didn't materialize due to poor finishing. Given our effort I don't count that as a luck win either, even Jose admitted that we deserved all 3. The only luck I agree is the spurs one. We should lose that one given our display and number of chances given to our opponent. But that's it. To claim that all 3 matches are lucky is huge disgrace towards the players, nevermind the manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 You always need luck to win in sports, especially when both teams are playing at a high level. Pardew may not be a good manager but I don't think he's a particularly lucky one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 he's the luckiest manager i've seen at NUFC in 20+ years of watching, almost everyone before him was characterised by awful fortune, not this bellend Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Although I am a supporter of Pardew I do doubt him frequently, but then I look at our results, our league position, the excuses (some valid, some not so valid), the boardroom, and I think of Kylie and what she once said.
