huss9 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Where is the investigative journalism relating to those at the ground either made redundant or forced to take zero hours contracts now? Where is the investigative journalism relating to the clubs' finances? Where is the investigative journalism relating to merchandise now going straight to sports direct profits rather than the club? Where is the investigative journalism relating to the wonga deal and why no other body was allowed to bid for sponsorship. Seems to me that ncj media have been prepared to dance with the devil for a very long time. Posted elsewhere but some good points made. Now is the golden opportunity to start asking the awkward questions that should already have been asked. where's that from? has anyone forwarded it to the papers, or tweeted it to the "journalists".

Guest micky_123 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Of course Ashley's the root cause but day-to-day, the miserable performances of the football team are of far greater concern. A position of "I'm content to see a lot of good players being completely wasted and spend a lot of money on being consistently bored and disappointed because of who the owner is" is mind bogglingly stupid. I don't think that's the attitude of many. I would guess it's mostly fear of what could be if he did sack Pards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Anyway you've sort of missed the point of my post yet again, like, I wasn't discussing what was best for Newcastle, I was suggesting that Pardew has more options than just sitting quiet whilst he has his position continually undermined, which he has. Which option would you prefer him or any future manager to take when those above put him in that position? I'm not someone that blames Keegan in any way whatsoever for showing some backbone and walking out on the owner, even though it might have been better for the club if he'd just accepted what was going on and got on with it. Pardew came in knowing he had to tow the line, so I'd be less inclined to have any time for him if he found his spine all of a sudden. I would prefer he walked as I'm sick of his shit and, more importantly, we look fucking rubbish on a football pitch. We may still be rubbish on a football pitch when a new manager comes in, and I may well be equally as sick of his shit after a while too. At this point I honestly don't care anymore.

Yet was that ever going to be good enough to see off Manchester City? Sadly and realistically, not really. If we are to go off what we are told by the United board, though, this is all fine and dandy. The cups were never a priority and United are joint 10th – a position which the club’s directors feel is acceptable these days. However, with spirits dampened by derby-day disappointment, an unhappy team never seemed likely to see off City. Let’s, though, give Newcastle a bit of credit for at least making a fist of it in the first half and giving their fans something to cling on to. It was hardly vintage from Alan Pardew’s side in the opening exchanges, but when was the last time you could say that? United have players who have plenty of ability – they have proved that much in the past – and plenty of them. Yet for some reason it is just not clicking and you have to ask when that is going to change. Plenty of people wonder what the problem is with Papiss Cisse. Many will point to the striker’s 32nd- minute chance when he headed Vurnon Anita’s effort at goal before the ball rebounded back to him off a City defender and he snatched at it. Shola Ameobi applied the finish but was ruled offside. Many know an in-form Cisse would have buried that great chance. This is a Cisse who seems devoid of confidence and playing with the uncertainty he is not going to get the golden service (or even silver or bronze) which used to bring out the best in him. View gallery " " " " " " " " " " In pictures: Newcastle United 0 Manchester City 2 View gallery Pardew had set up with Moussa Sissoko and Yoan Gouffran deployed to supply a decent flow of crosses to the Senegal international. Those crosses, though, did not flow yet again. Yes, there were half chances and United forced a few corners in the first half, but while we all automatically and instinctively anticipate a flag kick when watching our beloved black and whites our senses these days tell us otherwise. A lack of quality in that department was nothing to write home about. A bit like the first half. Yes, Newcastle did pose a few questions. Yet if this was meant to be the big response from the derby defeat you have to be a bit concerned. Some United stars do not seem motivated. Others disinterested. Thankfully, City were not all that god either in the first period and a scuffed shot from Micah Richards summed it up for the big-spending visitors. City were not great but they conserved energy by pinging the ball from right to left and it looked like Newcastle, who did plenty of chasing to little avail, were going to burn away their energy. A Sissoko shot was steered wide close to the hour, but then City started to begin to pose a few more difficult questions. First Jesus Navas lured Tim Krul from his goal before picking out ex-Toon man James Milner – but he was unable to trouble the Dutchman. Then City started to make a bit more of a statement. They threw on £26million man David Silva with 25 minutes left. In turn, Newcastle introduced Yohan Cabaye as they tried to find a way past a City defence whoch was not breaking into a sweat. Cabaye pushed up to support Cisse, but service was at a premium again. Often Cisse would drop back to try to win the ball and he spent a large majority of the second half with his back to the Leazes End goal. With Newcastle disjointed there were shots of “change it Pardew” from the crowd as time began to slip away. Edin Dzeko dinked the ball into the side netting as City strode forward. Pardew’s response was to unleash the out-of-sorts Hatem Ben Arfa, who replaced injured substitute Paul Dummett with nine minutes left. A Ben Arfa in full flow might have caused City genuine problems. Yet it was Krul’s sharpness in the final minute which forced the game into extra time after a superb save to deny Negredo. Having wasted a host of corners, Newcastle then started to play their flag kicks short – and with more potent finishing it might have paid off. In the dying moments of normal time, Cabaye crossed for Gouffran – but his header bounced wide. Three minutes into extra time and Cisse had a golden chance. Having slipped in to beat the offside trap, Pantilimon smothered his effort and with that any hope of pushing on in the cup seemed to go up in smoke. United had kindly opened things up behind the scenes for Sky before the game in a bid to boost flagging PR. Although the access all areas was probably taken too far as the visitors were allowed far too much time and space on 99 minutes. When you pay a cool £20million for a striker you generally get some dividends at some stage. For City that moment came when Dzeko picked out ex-Seville star Negredo to nail home a killer blow at the start of extra time. Six minutes later Dzeko latched on to James Milner’s through ball to finish off the job Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
