Disco Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 http://i.imgur.com/RH3J7Xo.png Exactly. I can see 89 of those from my seat when they're showing them on the electronic boards around the pitch. It's the first thing I see going through the turnstile each week, can see them on the lip of L7 below the away fans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Saw Norwich against Man U, and even though they really lacked quality in some of the things they did i was actually impressed by their intensions. Lot's of movement and neat attacking moves with many players filling in offensively. They lacked cutting edge more than anything, but fuckin hell, even Norwich!! looked more fluid in offense than we do in 90% of our games. That's about the only game i've seen them play though..

Watched them loads this season, generally do play like that but their final ball is usually gash or finishing. Play football nicely though, out from the back and like you say with good movement.

colinmk Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Thought today we were pretty decent but lacked a bit of spark. Bit gutted because I think if we were a bit more switched on today then Arsenal were there for the taking as they weren't great. Sign of champions so they say though, being pretty poor and grinding out a win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Shows how far we've come that a loss to Arsenal (or whoever was top of the league in the past) has hit everyone hard. In more recent times it's just been a matter of fact when we lose but now we feel like we can match up to them all over the pitch. We came up just short today, you could argue many reasons why. Perhaps simply because they have a better manager, or just bad defending for the set piece etc. But we are definitely a decent side again and shouldn't fear anybody, especially as home.

Dave Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Also I was hoping before the match that if we had to lose it would be a tight thing, something to maintain our confidence and show the players (and in some respects the manager) that we can compete with the very best teams in the league. Once that was the case, it was also nice to hear Pardew refer to it post-match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Is it really any wonder he always plays down the club he's at? He knows he's punching way above his weight. 9th highest attendances in Europe 3rd biggest stadium in the country 20th richest club in Europe Can name an XI of full internationals for major nations ...manager who was previously sacked by a League One club. Lets spot the discrepancy. The more people tell themselves we're a hopeless fucking charity case that should savour every point the cosier his position gets. I hate him. I enjoy it when we win but he's fucking shite. Not really much else to be said. Other than he's also a cunt. Put anybody in charge and they'd get us to 8th in the league.

Tooj Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I'd like to see a bit more movement/fluidity from us in the final third but there's no doubt that we definitely try and retain possession a lot more than the shambolic way that he had us setup last season. So credit to him for that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 @MetroRadioNews: #NUFC - Alan Pardew says the festive fixture pile up was partly to blame for yesterday's loss at home to Arsenal - next game is WBA on Wed. Still need less of this shit like. We had a day more than most others ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chopey Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I think Pardew will put to the test on Saturday cos it looks like he will make a lot of changes for Cardiff, so lets see how we play with both Ameobi's up front and most of the defense replaced Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I wish every single manager would stop fucking on about the festive fixture pile-up. That's what it is, it's the same every year, deal with it. I am vehemently opposed to a winter break, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet: Arsenal got 6 points Man City got 6 points Chelsea got 6 points Man U got 6 points Spurs got 4 points Even fucking Sunderland got 4 points It's not an excuse.

BrettNUFC Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Haven't seen his interview after the game but if he's mentioned tired legs or blaming fixtures that's highly embarrassing. It was a tough game and either side could have grabbed the win but a draw would have been fair. Things went for us against Stoke, they didn't against Arsenal. Just move on to next game and look to bounce back from the loss which we are capable of doing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
