Guest Haris Vuckic Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 100% of stats can be countered with any number of irrelevant negative stats. Aye, it's clearly irrelevant that we finished lower than them and they won a trophy. And that they're currently higher than us despite having harder games and that b****** European thing. They also took one of our striker targets away from us and have a class manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Souness also had about £70m to spend. So should we take into account how much we've spent before we celebrate a win? Why do you insist on putting words in peoples mouths? Should we all dress as robots and dance on the high level, is that what you're saying? Come on then, what's the relevance of how much each spends? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also took one of our striker targets away from us and have a class manager. A striker who we wouldn't have signed anyway and who also hasn't played much in the league. They've also been playing competitively since August 1st which is close to 32 weeks in "Pardew time". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlelunchbox Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 The question was asked of me who I'd rather stick with Pardew over bringing in from the other premier league clubs. I said I'd be ambivalent about laudrup. He may well get us playing some prettier stuff. But he's not got a track record that puts Pardew in the shade by any means. He's not stayed the course with any of his last 4 clubs either. Anyone scoffing and insisting he'd be a guaranteed long term appointment to bring success to NUFC is talking out their arse because its all rhetorical opinion making. Winning a cup in the short term. Swansea fans must had hated that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 The football Laudrup plays should be more than enough to want anyone to change imo. I'd sell my granny to have an exciting attacking manager like him. I go to the match to watch NUFC try and beat the other team by as many goals as possible, not to be bored, lose, then come home and console myself with carefully selected statistics. A season ticket holder saw Newcastle win 33% more games than a Swansea season ticket holder last year. But I know facts tend to cloud the issue so I apologise for mentioning it. "Last year" isn't the same as last season. Is this another one of your creative uses of stats? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I think even the people who don't despise Pardew would probably swap him for Laudrup instantly. That's if Laudrup wouldn't fall out with the club over transfers and get the boot straight away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like being asked who would win a fight between the grufallo and sasquatch. I named several other PL managers I wouldn't be fussed on at the same time. It's really not worth pages of discussion.

ExiledGeordie Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Worryingly for me, I think apathy is setting in. I walked away from St James extremely disappointed but it's almost become the norm that type of shambolic performance. The club has no ambition and we have a big standard (some would call shite) manager. Will always support the club and will no doubt go to a couple more games this season but definitely losing the passion a bit. It's been sapped out of me.

Parky Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Laudrups already won a trophy, and plays better football. I know who I prefer They play better football? Got any proof? I'm sure Happy Face will pull out a pie chart from 2012 to prove that's false information. He can pull a horse out of a donkey that boy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather win 6 at home but finish 9th(edit), than win 9 and finish 16th. Besides they collected only 2 pts less than us at home, and lost 4 less than we did. Stats are just utter bollocks, and another excuse to give Pardew. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough. I didn't realise Swansea won so few games at home tbh, but I would guess their striker options probably had a fair bit to do with that. We did have Ba and Cisse for the first half of the season after all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stats are just utter bollocks, and another excuse to give Pardew. You seem to have missed the point of Willie's argument. He only goes to watch a team that plays to win. The fact that Swansea drew more games than we did is of no interest to him. Newcastle won more than them so as someone that wants to see winning football he got his moneys worth more with Newcastle. More than he would any team outside the top 6. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's al little erroneous that you;re not filtering in the fact that our first eleven the last couple of years has been superior to their in virtually every position.

You seem to think stats mean more, and the major point that flies over your head like a fucking polaris missile is......you seem to think stats are more important than someones eyes and knowledge of the game. While i agree this season (Hull and Man City games apart imo) we have certainly played a lot better, i say that as a massive Pardew hater (as some call it) but i cant deny what my eyes and football knowledge tell about the football this season, it is much better. Last season we were dreadful, no amount of stats can change that. Percentage wins, wins at home, lalalalala. And saying Wullie got his moneys worth in fucking insulting with the standard of football served up. Wullie should have got a refund, and bought a drink, and a pie, and a cab home.
