Spudil Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 He's STILL f***ing going on about it. http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/feb/11/alan-pardew-europa-league-andre-villas-boas "I have sympathy for André," said a man who nearly lost his job at Newcastle after the strain of Europa League commitments precipitated a relegation dalliance last spring. "It's not surprising that the managers of teams in the Europa League from the Premier League and the Championship have all got sacked this season. "I don't think that playing in the Premier League on the Sunday after the Thursday night in Europe you can get to the required level. I've been saying that ever since Stoke warned me about it when we went in it." Yes but we don't know what he was asked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Stoke out of Europe (qualifying via the cup final and not getting relegated btw): 46 points Stoke in Europe: 45 points Stoke out of Europe again: 42 points They'd have been better off warning him about the dangers of not qualifying, maybe he wouldn't be such a whinging little cunt.

merlin Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Jesus, I should have known better. Mental how seriously people are taking this simple obvious observation. Dave, obviously the fans have massive benefits as well as downsides. I choose to believe your witty posting style hides the fact you already know this. Funny how the likes of Brian Clough and Peter Taylor - and Don Revie - always envied us our fans' numbers and the backing they gave to NUFC....I think they could safely have lived with the so-called 'down side' because they produced successful teams and there would hardly have been any occasion when our fans would have cause for complaint if they had been watching Derby/Forest/Leeds when these guys were in charge... Strange how good management can make a difference, isn't it... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallsendmag Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Fast becoming my most hated NUFC manager of all time and that takes some doing after Souness and Allardyce. Literally have to turn the telly over now whenever he's on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonpack Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Our cup record is a joke. fyp You haven't fixed his post at all, only 6 clubs have won the FA Cup more than us. Stop trying to make our current record look better than it is. When we last won it, no-one had won it more times than us, and of the 6 with more wins than us, 5 of them have won it more times than we ever have since we last won it.

Lotus Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 You have to remember that for some people, the actual sporting part of it all, the football, is unimportant. For some, what's important is the pride in the association by supporting a football club that's owned by a man like Mike Ashley. What happens on the pitch is somewhat insignificant. However, belonging to a portfolio of businesses by a man of Mike Ashley's calibre, that can make a great deal of difference to their self-esteem.
