BrettNUFC Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 There you go then, nobody whatsoever is willing to say they support Pardew. It doesn't matter what people are willing to say, the Pardew supporters are obvious to everyone. Clearly a dig in my sort of direction. I can see why people like you may think i support Pardew (not that i do). I defend him a lot more than others and it's basically because i think he gets his fair share of unfair criticism on here. Yes he does deserve the vast majority of it however there is still a lot who literally pick a fault at anything they can find with him even if we win. If we play well, players get the credit, if we play badly the manager gets the criticism, it needs to balance out slightly somewhere along the line but it rarely does. Even though i don't think he's a very good manager if i feel someone is being slightly harsh towards him, i don't mind defending him. That goes for the players as well though. There's one or two who have come in for a lot of criticism but don't get the praise they deserve when they do put a shift in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I don't imagine anyone here pores over every word other managers say. This sort of stuff is amusing as well. We're simply discussing his comments, no-one pores, trawls or dissects. He says stuff, it's very easy to get access to it, we talk about it because he's the manager of the club. It's hardly Wikileaks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Even if he is trying to lower expectations, managers always play up or play down their chances as befits their position and their objectives. I mean, Wenger goes to Crystal Palace saying they're a good team and it'll be a hard game, even though he knows Arsenal are going to walk it. It's just such a non-issue, the amount of time wasted on it is unreal. Stop doing it then Honestly, man, you're taking forum policing to a new level.

If the interview was 5 minutes long and Pardew is negative for 30 seconds of it, be sure enough, we would be talking about that the 30 seconds and not the other 4 minutes 30 where he is generally positive.

Foluwashola Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 He had to come up with a lot of excuses because he had us playing so shit for so long. His patter doesn't differ much from other managers, nor is there some secret agenda to transform our way of thinking. Results are the only language that matters. God, that sounds gay. But aye.

Your input means nothing, there's no point in you chipping in now and then saying "stop talking about this". People can talk about what they fancy talking about. Nobody's arsed about whether you think it's worthy of conversation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Can we stop comparing Pardew to Wenger and Laudrup just because they make excuses please? When Pardew win trophies and builds a style of play which the entire club from kids to the first team employ no matter what then you can talk. This - all you have to do is to ask yourself whether Arsenal or Swansea fans if they would swap their manager for Pardew - OR if WHU Charlton or Southampton fans would have him back - and if you tell yourself they would, you had better go and re-check with the Fairies at the bottom of your garden. Alternatively, you could see a specialist....... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belfast Boy Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 "It is the first time we have lost Colo and looked more comfortable than when he's been out in the past. "That is a big boost for us as a group. "When you lose a player and you can't cope it affects everybody else. "We have proved we can cope without him and Cabaye and anybody because it is about the team. "It shows we are stronger in depth and that's good." "I think we've been in good form. "I said that before the Chelsea game. "It is very difficult to beat a team in top form like Chelsea were. "So all credit to the players, they've been fantastic." "This is the end of a difficult period for us because we have two games and it could put us in a great position if we get a win or draw Spurs. "It is an important game for our league position." "I think it was a reward for some of the good work that went on before where we didn't quite get the results we deserved. "We are in better shape than we have been given credit for. "There has been a lot more positive Press about our players who have been terrific." I don't see excuses, no downers about tiredness, it's all positive stuff about a result at Spurs and performances so far. Oh great, nothing can possibly go wrong at home to Norwich now!

Still needs a couple of good results in the next 4 to win back some hearts and minds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zippity Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 I heard Pardon't on the radio saying we'd been brilliant since the Everton game. That's 'brilliant', mind, not 'good in parts, abysmal in others'. He thinks we were 'brilliant' in the mackems game. Tells you all you need to know, really. He's full of sh.it.

Cardiff beat Swansea at the weekend, does that now mean Cardiff are better than Swansea and embarrassed them? No, not at all. The 3-0 at home however was thoroughly embarrassing, losing to a 20 yard strike in closing stages isn't. Norwich/West Brom are the big games, i agree. This period of games from Everton away was tough though and i think the players and manager can keep their heads held high bar an embarrassing display tomorrow.
