Darth Crooks Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 He completely deserves this level of scrutiny. Until he reverts back to winning ways of 5th and admits the last two years have been mistakes. Personally I think he's too thick to realise the combination of players and winning formula he stumbled upon is his only way back and not his obsession with shape and the crayon contents of his bullshit notepad.

Jack Flash Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 He was talking about finishing "higher than 5th" in January. Arsenal just nicked 4th by 30 points in the end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliottman Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 You have to wonder if this CL talk is coming from above. Dont understand why he'd put so much pressure on himself when all the fans think the plan is top 10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Just sounds like either his ego, or pandering to the mongs to me. Aiming for top four=ambition and not inane, baseless, ludicrous bullshit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mofo Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Sick of arguing with people about how shit Pardew really is. Some people won't have it, they are always willing to make excuses for him. Can't wait until he's gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikri Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Plus, it's hard to attract the right new players when you openly state that mid-table is your only aim. Make it clear that the club barely gives a shit about the league and we'd end up with a team full of overpaid mercenaries again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 If the club has ambitions of Champions League football, the guy would've been outta here nearly two years ago. Doing business to ensure we have 18 players every match day isn't going to convince me that something has clicked since May and, all of a sudden, the board wants to behave like a competitive football club. We'll obviously be nowhere fucking near. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
