Pandamninator 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. Pretty sure Toonpack has said in the past on Toontastic he isn't even really a football man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure Toonpack has said in the past on Toontastic he isn't even really a football man. I found that out once I'd read a couple of his posts on here. Anyone who is content with this club at the minute can't be a "football man" as they mustn't have one competitive bone in their body. The whole acceptance of the state of the club by a few posters is sickening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sempuki Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Will be rolling out the injuries excuse no doubt tonight if things go pear-shaped. Thing is Alan, if we had bought a few players in the last two transfer windows like every other club we would not have this problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or he wasn't shit, tactically clueless and able to pick the correct players. He only knows one system that works and it only works with one set of players in his mind.

His words about having to change the way we play due to the Cabaye departure confused me a little. We seemed to have found a decent system, playing good football that worked and yet the sale of one player necessitated a complete rethink and return to square peg hoofball.

Rich Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 "Davide Santon's midfield performance [against Chelsea] . . . forget about what it looked like to the naked eye, his stats were very good, which is great news. It gives us a player we can put in there now." Might as well watch games live on WhoScored rather than going to SJP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Conveniently, the stats don't show when a player doesn't track runs which lead directly to goals. Santon is a good footballer with the ball at his feet, we all know this. He can dribble with confidence and can pass. This doesn't make him an option in defensive midfield when he lacks the key attributes of tackling and tracking runs. All this is, is Pardew setting up the fact he will be playing in midfield again tonight probably. What a plank. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 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. FFS stop trying to make our record over more than half a century look better than it is You're clueless, you're trying to make it look like going out in the 3rd and 4th round of the FA Cup is normal for us, it wasn't until Pardew arrived.
