Guest reefatoon Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I said before the season that I think we'll finish 8th like, knocked that down to 9-10th now after seeing Everton and Swansea but I think we'll be about there purely because of the dross filling the rest of the league. I think it'll be a torturous and frustrating ride regardless. I'm happy with that progress. We finished 8 points from 8th last year and were absolutely s****. Anything over 50 points and you're pretty much odds on as you're really only the best of a bad bunch. It's only progress if we maintain it and/or improve upon it though. And Pardew showed last year that he's hardly reliably in that respect, especially without investment. We just need to steady the ship after the relegation battle last season, get some confidence instilled back around the city, our team is slowly building into something special we just need to keep trying to add little bits of quality here and there as we are never going to splash at big style like some teams do. We've came a long way already from the days of Barton/Nolan, we just need to keep pushing on. New owners and a new fancy manager would be nice but that’s not likely to happen anytime soon. Hello Alan. Sly dig at the fans in the end there and jobs a good`un. Do you go on my profile, check my posts and pick up on any you fancy? You've done it all afternoon. Just pointing this out because it's a bit cuntish tbf. Thing is you're contradicting yourself somewhat there Brett . You can certainly say we have come a long way player wise since Barton and Nolan, I would even agree. But why isn't our team any better than the one Pardew took over? Indeed some might say that the team is actually worse despite the personnel being of a higher quality of player. Why is that? It's a rhetorical question by the way. I've contradicted nothing in terms of my own opinion, i think this is the best side i've seen in years, i hope Pardew sticks with the majority of this team and blends it together, it has signs of the team that finished 5th but with more quality added to it. How many years do you mean by that? They might be the best team on paper, but I have seen nothing of this being the best team in years. We just avoided relegation last season, playing garbage football. I have seen much better teams in that time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Best side in years? Damning indictment on Pardew if so... Pardew is clueless man. He'll prove it again this season, just watch this thread over the next few weeks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 That's fair enough like HF, but you're coming in very late in the day here! I'm fairly sure the reason you're not getting what you're looking for is more because a lot of people who have made lucid comments re: Pardew and his failings in the past simply can't be arsed to persist with posting them over and over and over and over again. There have been many excellent points raised about his and our collective failings over the past months/years on here and elsewhere and for me personally some of the concerns raised are still plain as day to see all too often during 90 minutes of watching Newcastle play. I definitely agree that a lot of nonsense gets set in anger and that we have far too many who, at this stage, are very entrenched in their view regarding the manager, but you're never going to change anyone's mind man People, myself included, have spent months arguing the same points and crossing sides now would be a dangerous game. Bloods n crips shit. Ian W comes out all Anti-Pardew and Inochi will be forced to terminate the bastard. I'm happy to ride the Pardew wave until say the end of November. Think general play has looked a lot better this season. Hope is all we have as Newcastle fans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just avoided relegation last season, playing garbage football. I have seen much better teams in that time. Can't remember being so fond of the players we have at our disposal, probably since Robson got our side together, obviously after that it was broken up till it shattered and the rebuilding process started again following relegation but we've built up a side in that time to a very high standard considering how far we had fallen. Like i said i think this side can take us places. We probably hit the peak too quickly resulting in a sudden down fall but i feel like this season we will gradually come into our own again and be better prepared the next time we reach those sorts of heights. Ashley missed an opportunity to grasp that 5th place finish and it cost us dearly but we can bounce back from it and push on again this season if this side is allowed to settle and gets it’s confidence and belief back.

It should be but it really isn't. We'll see, just different opinions. I believe in this side. One day, probably something like a Tuesday evening when the mods are at a parents evening or something, this place is gonna be a bit quiet, largely unsupervised, you're gonna run into Interpolic. Won't be anywhere obvious. He might quietly follow you into a thread in General about ski boots or the like. Something innocuous. Then he'll start off with a few throw away comments, might even seem like he's trying to find some common ground. Then he'll get you. Turn you. We'll come in Wednesday morning to find you repeating a few incoherent lines about being loose at the back, a set penis and a big man to hold it up. Happens to all of you lot, eventually.

I dont think the players give a stuff, they know they are just assets waiting to be flogged to the highest bidder. Nothing is being built here. Its a waiting game for everyone involved with NUFC, Ashley, the fans, the players the manager and the poor employees on match day. Nothing is going to move forward until Ashley decides to fuck off. I cant really get attached to the players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Ian who Polic had the problem with, i simply just loosely described him as a ‘schoolboy bully in the playground’ and that snowballed pretty quickly into an avalanche. We all had a bit of time out though and thought long and hard about our actions that day and it's been slightly more peaceful. Polic is a good guy, he just had a meltdown, i had one last week around this time. Happens to the best of us.
