Interpolic Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Tbh we've seen some good patches of football, particularly away from home. It never lasts more than 45 minutes though, so most games end up fucking annoying. We are fucked without Remy like, think we'd need to sign 2 or 3 decent players just to give us what he gives us.

Kanj Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Sheer fact we could have finished better than the 5th place season despite the shit we served up is crazy. One ounce of ambition and holding on to Yo and we would have done that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Can't imagine Ashley could be satisfied with what he's seeing right now? He doesn't like to spend money and with this clown at the helm what he is spending is being pissed up against the wall! Good players are turning into gash, played out of position and having the skill coached out of them in favour of graft. If there is a modicum of truth in the Ashley wants to see attacking football quotes from Pardew then he must have some interest in what goes on on the pitch and he sure as hell can't be happy with what he's seeing. Ashley is a cunt of the highest order but he's no mug and Pardew's soundbites of front foot football won't be fooling him. Maybe I'm clutching at straws, but we all know that even though Ashley has no ambition for the club but even as an advertising vehicle there needs to be a modicum of success. Unless we see an upturn in results I think he may be gone at season end, gut feeling and as bad as it sounds because I feel dirty for wanting us to lose, my main fear is that Remy will supply him with a lifeline again. Again pure conjecture, maybe wishful thinking, but with his reappearance at games I don't think all is well at camp Pardew. Finish bottom half after the season of turmoil he's given us and it could be the last straw. It makes financial sense, even in terms of league placing, could a better manager get us to top 7 or 8? Those extra payments for placing would eradicate Pardews wages for a year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 What a pathetic season this c*** is responsible for. It was never going to be anything. Pardew and Mike must be happy with being the most boring and mediocre team from here to hell and back. Sell the club, fire the manager, and get rid of all the players. Except Hatem. No point in expecting anything as long as those c***s on top are here, hope to f*** the fans still care when he(mike) decides enough is enough. A couple of freak results after the first derby defeat have carried us really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 If there's a trace of truth in Ashley liking attacking football, the last 4 games he's come to watch would mean he'd sack this cunt tomorrow.

Mattoon Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Ashley probably doesn't give a shit how we play, no, but he can't be happy with us dropping down the table and losing money? He can't be happy that he's spending x amount on players with the intention to make a profit only to see them devalued by this clueless nugget. There are plenty of ways in which Pardew is currently costing him cold hard cash, season ticket renewals (allbeit not as consequential) look to be hurting his pocket too.

It was billed as ‘the race for eighth’ but by full time Newcastle United were lucky to have escaped St Mary’s without having conceded that number of goals Quite simply they were thrashed by Southampton. Manager and self-proclaimed ‘personality’ Alan Pardew returned after his three match stadium ban bringing with him his ‘winning mentality’ and claims he would ‘revive the dressing room’. Pardew watched the disaster unfold from a seat in the stands but on the evidence of Saturday it’s a shame the stadium ban couldn’t be extended indefinitely. Deputy goalkeeper Rob Elliot returned to the side in place of the injured Tim Krul and was the only Toon player to leave the pitch with some credibility after a handful of fine saves. Under-fire Pardew claimed the performance ‘wasn’t us’ and said the club needed to make sure it ‘never happens again.’ The Toon chief’s random excuse generator must be worn out because we’ve heard it all before. This season Pardew has extended his losing streak to Sunderland, and seen his side taken to pieces on more than a handful of occasions. And that’s on top of early cup exits in both domestic competitions. The Toon showed more passion in a scrap between midfielder Cheick Tiote and centre-back Mike Williamson, who had to be separated by team-mates, than collectively against the opposition. Pardew may believe the club still has much to play for in 2014 but on this inept display it is not pride and his players obviously don’t agree with him. Empty promises of money to spend and Mike Ashley backing a summer rebuild were made prior to kick-off, but it will surely amount to nothing more than essential maintenance to maintain Premier League status. Hatem Ben Arfa appeared to throw in the towel on his Newcastle career, or Pardew made his mind up for him, after the Frenchman was hooked at half time for tactical reasons. Elsewhere, captain Fabricio Coloccini has been linked to a laughable transfer to Barcelona by Ashley’s First Direct News pages. Mathieu Debuchy has claimed he isn’t committing to anything beyond the World Cup – with PSG allegedly waiting in the wings to reunite the full back with his friend and former colleague Yohan Cabaye. Up front on-loan Loic Remy will obviously be on his way as will Shola Ameobi when his contract expires in June. And, despite comments mid-week from Pardew about Luuk De Jong needing to show more if he is to earn a transfer from Borussia Monchengladbach, the striker found himself dropped to the bench, an early indication his move won’t be made permanent. The Toon have now lost eight of their 13 matches in 2014 and are if nothing else we are lucky to have secured enough points to save us from the drop , for this season at least.

Completely emotionally detached from it all now. Wins mean nothing substantial other than it keeps the points ticking over, losses don't even register any more. Complete ambivalence and it's utter shit. Got the champions at home on Saturday and I genuinely couldn't give the first fuck what happens, the enthusiasm and passion has long since been kicked out of me by the cunt in the dugout and his owner.

Disco Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Alan Pardew has been left with no hiding place after his Newcastle United side made a mockery of pledges to keep their season alive after passing the 40-point mark. The Magpies boss had talked up United’s hopes of cementing their place in the top eight and nudging themselves above the club’s pre-season target of tenth, but Saturday’s performance was complacent, wretched and completely unacceptable. Pardew refused to talk about individual players after the game – passing the opportunity to talk about Hatem Ben Arfa, again substituted at half-time – and said he “accepted” the criticism which came their way from the away support. However, there was no sorry from the Newcastle camp and captain Fabricio Coloccini would not speak either. All that came from Pardew were promises of a “positive” meeting with Mike Ashley about Newcastle’s future plans, the owner having taken in his fourth successive United game in the St Mary’s stands. Pardew’s explanation was not always consistent. He argued Southampton had more motivation that United because they could overturn them in the league – and also said he believed his team was trying to get “through to half-time” when they were eventually breached just before the interval. In truth they were shambolic: Mike Williamson and Cheick Tiote squared up to each other in the first half and Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa and Ben Arfa were withdrawn at half-time as Pardew groped in vain for an answer to Southampton’s sparkling performance. He admitted: “It was a shock to me. “At one stage I thought ‘If we could just get through to half-time’ and maybe the players thought that too. “Maybe they were just trying to get into the dressing room with ten minutes to go but in the end we conceded. “Even second half we conceded an early goal just when I thought perhaps we were making inroads and from that point on there was only one winner.” It was pointed out to Pardew the team had lost three of the four games since his Hull ‘head butt’. He added: “We’ve had tough games. This was a tough game, Everton was a tough game. Fulham away as well. “I genuinely feel we’re in a period of the season where we really need to stamp our mark on it. “It’s difficult when you have 46 points on the board. “It was a big game for Southampton to jump above us and we need to get that motivation level back. “People are going to criticise us today and we’re going to have to accept that.” Ashley’s presence at games has added intrigue to the run-in and he sat near Pardew on Saturday, taking in the dismal display. There are no suggestions from sources within the club Pardew’s position is under threat, but change is coming at St James’ Park. Another meeting in midweek has prompted Pardew to express further optimism players will be coming over the summer. He said: “I don’t think it’s changed our opinion. One game hasn’t changed our opinion we need to bring in players, we’re aware of that. “Although the scoreline was poor we’ve had a good positive meeting this week about taking the club forward. That’s not really the time for a conversation when you’ve had a result like we had on Saturday. “We just didn’t look like we had a process of how to win the game and Southampton dominated.” Pardew did not go into specifics when asked whether some players had sealed their fates on the South Coast. Ben Arfa, handed a start, was shown precious little patience. He added: “I’m not going to talk about individual players. Collectively we have to take responsibility for that and that’s my staff, my players and myself – that’s how we work and that’s all I’m going to comment on.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
