midds Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 How? Because we're not a small skint club. From what's mids says, it's the first time we've done it in ten years. We've clearly got limited finances for whatever reason and the 'big club' debate will go on forever. People getting their knickers in a twist for no reason.htt especially. We're only on 33 points though mate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 We haven't even got 36 points. I didn't see it but I assume it's either a mistake by Bimpy or he was on about what we'd have with a win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonpack Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Me too. Which is why I'm surprised at the reaction to his comments. His comments were "for a club of our size and financial ability to have 36 points before January" and that's bullshit. How? Because we're not a small club, and the financial thing is soley down to the f***ing jumble sale merchant who owns us, maybe ? Or maybe not, more down to the self fulfilling prophecy that is the champions league and the rich getting richer etc etc It's a good season so far, credit to the manager and players, why can't some just enjoy it. Fuck me we dealt with Arsenal very well and were worthy of at least a point, years gone by they've annihilated us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 This guy has been learning his lessons, we will never be entertaining under him but we are certainly playing better than I expected after the dross we've been presented with since he arrived at the club. (even the season we finished 5th I was never convinced of his abilities). The fact that we continually tried to play the ball on the deck from Krul today shows that he is at least giving that non-hoof a try. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As thing stand we aren't a 'big club' and haven't been for a long time. Pardew is right saying without resources we are doing very well. You should stop taking things so personally.

Guest bimpy474 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 So when Ashley took over we were, 18th-20th or so highest revenue income brought in clubs in the world. Sorry but we are a big club, Ashley may have done a good job to ruin that but we are a massive club. To swallow the bullshit, well i pity those that do.

jdckelly Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 points on pardew are fair enough really We haven't over achieved. these points might say otherwise Pardew, let us not forget, is working under a Director of Football whose every public appearance brings the risk of an international incident and an owner that has contrived to make an awful lot of enemies in one of this countries’ friendliest cities. More to the point, Newcastle began this season in disarray, with a summer of discontent that carried whispers of Pardew’s possible exit and star player Yohan Cabaye on strike in the opening weeks. Pardew did not have access to a budget in excess of £25 million as Pochettino did in the summer (there was only the loan signing of Loic Remy), nor does he benefit from a prolific youth system established long before his arrival, as Pochettino has done at Southampton. The most notable graduates from the Newcastle academy in recent years have been Andy Carroll, Steven Taylor and the Ameobi brothers. The Class of ‘92 it is not. Peering in from the outside, Newcastle do not appear structurally sound, careering from one PR disaster to another and if it were not for the firefighting and acumen of Pardew and Carr in these last few years, Newcastle could quite feasibly have staggered along that Leeds United treadmill to oblivion. I find it hard to disagree with any of those points considering what a circus the club is off the field Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
